My friend has been in the hospital like,18 times since school starded on the 21,she has been verry ill,and barely ever talked.She looked horrible and I was scared.She used to be really happy,but all of a sudden,she was always mad about something in her life.SHe would compain how her life was soo bad,and everyone hated her.She starded becoming crazy,and I didn't know why,she was acting diffrent.It would be a mirical if you even saw her smile,now adays.She used to have a perfect body,but all of a sudden she was getting so skinny,I wouldnt be surprised if she broke in fact.She was always sleepy,and all.I didn't know why,so I was scared.


One day,me and my friend where walking haome from McDonalds.We where laughing and having a good time,until all of a sudden Mary (my friend) stopped laughing,and just strared at something.What is it?I asked her.She turned aroun and asked me if I could keep a secret.Shure,I said as I shrugged my shoulders.Okay,you know how I have been sick,and all latley.And I have been getting skinnyer?She said.Yup,i repield.Well,the reason of that is because I have benn smoking.She said happily.I stopped walking all of a sudden,and turned around to face her.ARE YOU CRAZY?I screamed.Huh?She asked.YOU KNOW HOW DANGROUSE SMOKING IS!!!!WHY DID YOU DO IT!I asked still screaming,not caring the slightest bit about what she said.I stared yelling at her more,and more.A couple of minutes passed and I fianally stopped yelling.SHe just stared at me.Well,Crystal.If you where my true friend,you would let me smoke if it made me happy.MAKE YOU HAPPY??????MARY ITS RUINING YOU!You barley every smile,and your always complaining about your life!!!!Your getting sick,you can barley wallk,or sleep.I yelld.So?SHe said.YOU IDIOT I screamed.I am your friend,and I dont want you to get hurt or die.Please stop.I said,almost starting to cry.You no friend!She yelled.Just as I was about to say something,she slapped me real hard.I fell to the ground.I just stared at her,to shoked to say anything.She just turned aourn,and left.
A couple of weeks later,her mom called telling me Mary was in the hospital,and she wanted me.I got so scred,and hung up the phone right away,rushing to the hosptial.I asked the lady where se was,and she showed me.When I saw her,I coulnt believe that was her.Her skin,was a pale as a peace of paper,all her hair had fallen out,and there were purple circles around her eyes.I could se her vains,and her mout had dissapeard.I wnet over to her and grabbed her hand.I felt so skinny,I was afraid I might brake it.I stared at her for along time,holding her hand against my cheek.Crystal?She whiperd.It's me!I said,I'm here Mary,don't worry.She smiled a t me and said sorry for slapping me.She said she was stupid,and should have listend to me.I just smiled at her.I stayed a with her for a long time,until my parents came and said it was time to go.I said my good bye's and left.I cried my sell to sleep that night,thinking of Mary.I barley slept a wink last night.Each day I visited her,each day I cried my sell to sleep,hoping my Mary would not die.One day when I came,we where having a good time,loaughinh together,making jokes,and telling secrets.eACH DAY Mary looked worse and worse.Nayhow,It was my turn to say a joke,and I had a good one in mind.Nock Nock,I sadi.I did not here a reply.Nock Nock I said again.Still no relpy,NOCK NOCK!I screamed.No reply.I looked down and saw her eyes closed.I shook her.She didnt budge.Mary?I askedNO!I screamed.I stared crying really bad.NO!NO!NO!Just then aobut everry one came in the room.What is it?They all asked.SHES DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DEAD!DEAD!DEAD!DEAD!DEAD!DEAD!DEAD!I screamed over and over again.I saw tears in every ones,eyes.And then the rest was a blur.Severl day later,We all went to her funaral.I cried thew whole time there.Mary,was like a sister to e.I told her eveything.I could not belive she was dead.I cried my self to sleep,ever since that day.And whenever someone would say the word (name) Mary,I would cry.
