Natalie
Always together, we even looked alike. People thought us sisters. We decided to hitch-hike to her grandma's funeral. At the last minute, I chickened out though, she said it was ok. Jokingly, she added if I didn't see her on Monday, she'd be dead. We laughed as only eighteen year old can laugh at death.
Monday came and went. No Natalie. I was frantic. On Tuesday, the headmistress called me to her office. A drunk hit and run driver hit Natalie in the fog and she died instantly.
My fault, my lifelong guilt. I should have gone with her.
