Never Forget

It's been years since I've seen her.. 
Who's this girl you say? Misty... Misty Waterflower... 
We've been best friends since we were ten... and we hated each other.. but in a loving way...
I know it's kinda oxymoron -ish type of sentence, but I think you'll get it.
This day changed my life forever. And this isn't some happy fairy tale either. So i'm telling you now before you read this.
Well it's been a year since I've seen Dawn, May, and Brock. So I went to visit them just to see how they were doing. And they all had happy things to say... just about Dawn's Buneary and how it's a model or something like that. And how May is becoming a great contest winner and how Drew is now her boyfriend. Then I went to visit Brock. He was trying to hide something... I knew he was. But whatever...
I wanted to visit the Cerulean Gym so bad... I wanted to see Misty and just have one of our chit-chats about the "Good Times." 
So that's where I went...
" *knock knock* hello?" I say while waiting for someone to open the door.
" Uh.. are you like... a challenger or something?" Daisy asked
"Uh... no. I was actually looking for Misty."
"She's not here..." She mumbled
"Oh.. well when is she coming back?" I ask
"You can like... go see her at this address..." she said handing me an address with a room number or something. It said:

13723, Cerulean Town 
#462 

So I leave and head out to find the address. And I notice apartment buildings in the distance.. *wow.. she has her own place now..* I thought *That must be it!*
But it was the wrong address... that's when I found the right number... My heart stopped and I felt like crying... *NO! This can't be the right address! There must have been some mistake!* I screamed in my head. 
Right next to the address.. it said.. 

CERULEAN TOWN CEMETERY
 13723, Cerulean Town

I didn't want to believe it... Where's Misty? Tears started flooding up my eyes...
*NO! THIS ISN'T TRUE!!* I kept repeating in my head
I slowly walked inside and started looking around. The first thing I saw was numbers and signs.

#1-200 right courtyard
#201-400 left courtyard
#401-600 center courtyard

*NO.NO.NO!!* I screamed in my head again... I went to the center courtyard to find my Best Friend... dead... I started crying and leaned on her headstone. I'm on my knees trying to get my mind strait... 

"No... Mist. T-this wasn't supposed to happen... I-i'm suppose to hold you in sickness and in health... for better for worse... and all that wedding crap.. t-this wasn't how I planned it..." I cried
"Mist, if you can hear me... I just wanna say that I love you... I should have stayed by your side.. and protected you... but I'm too selfish to... I'm in my own world trying to become a stupid Pokemon Master while their burying my BEST FRIEND!!!" 
I screamed out of frustration
I started to cry even more. Just knowing that the love of my life was dead because I wasn't there for her. I looked around the cemetery and grabbed flowers near the fence. I slowly put them down by her headstone... 
" *sniffle* B-bye M-Misty..."  



This story was inspired by my relationship with my uncle Chuck Valoria... He past recently and I had to let out all my feelings.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF CHUCK VALORIA... RIP.
ps.. sorry for killing Misty... I had to write a sad one too!
