You have this friend since elementary and after college the both
of you
lost contact with each other. But she is someone really special to
you,
and
you are someone very special to her too. Five years later, you
receive a
phone call from her.
"Hi, I'll visit you" she says.
"Hi, Leah, when?" you ask her.
"Just wait for me." she replies.
It seems weird but you prepare for her coming anyway. One rainy
night,
you
hear a knock on the door. And you're surprised to see that it's
your
friend
Leah. Losing touch for five years is so long and you start talking
about
everything. The both of you even go to your room upstairs.
Suddenly
there
is a power outage, but the two of you continue talking by
candle-light.
Then the phone rings.
"I'll just get the phone downstairs," you say.
"No, don't get it, we're in the middle of our talk," she
says.
"It might be important," you say.
"Okay if you say so, but promise me you'll be back," she
says.
You promise her a million times that you'll be back. Then you
run
downstairs to answer the phone.
"Hello?" you say.
"Hell?" says the person on the line.
"Yeah?" you say, wondering who it is.
"I'm calling on behalf of Leah's family. They had an accident and
her
parents are in the hospital right now," he says.
"How are they?" you ask.
He continues, "They are injured but stable. But I'm sorry to say
that
Leah
died. We found your name and phone number in Leah's purse..."
His voice trails off as you look up at the long stairs.
WOULD YOU GO BACK AS YOU HAVE
PROMISED?
