I was fifteen when my world came crashing down around me. It might not be your typical tragedy, but it managed to leave scars that ran deeper than any I've ever had before or since. Having your boyfriend or girlfriend break up with you, or a family member dying isn't the only way you can have your heart broken. Friends can and will eventually do it to you. That's what I've come to learn.
Like I said, I was fifteen when it happened. We'd been friends since we first met back in Sparks when I was five years old and he was six. We'd never gone to the same elementary or high school but were still attached at the hip as our parents always told us.
