Aimless path

That day was my birthday, even though eleven years have passed, I remember it as if it had happened yesterday, September 9th was the day I never saw again the person I loved the most at that time, the day he died.

-Mom, today I will sleep over at Akira's house," the house gave off a very strong stench of alcohol, I could not breathe well, I thought I was sleeping.

I went to the door and before leaving I realized that the door was already open, I was sure I had heard my mother enter in the middle of the night, but if the door was still open something must have happened.

-I walked slowly and when I opened the door another smell came out, but this was not of beer or wine, it was much thicker and unpleasant, when I entered I saw her.

That image as clear as water repeated in my nightmares, I cannot sleep without feeling torment, it makes me want to vomit and be released from this cruel memory.

Why?

Right now I'm going to the grave of my old best friend, apparently he died a month ago, but I didn't find out until today, so as the good friend I am I'm going to leave him a bunch of leaves from the bush I saw while going to the airport.

-The driver stammered, he looked nervous and his hands were sweating.

-I am not going to dig up anyone nor am I going to a satanic ritual," I said opening the car door, it was seven o'clock at night and I had to hurry to find his grave.

When I got out the car left immediately, I looked at what was left of orange in the sky and I could see some dark clouds, I jumped the fence and started looking, it was faster than I thought.

-Hm, it's already dawning? -The sunlight started to illuminate Akira's name, now what would I do?

My dark circles under my eyes are very noticeable, I work and even though I move I feel like I have no life at all, again I'm waiting to blink and then see the living person?

-I'm so pathetic- Even though I didn't say anything the tears were flowing non-stop, I felt I had a lot to say, but at the same time nothing.

Could a dead person hear my wailing?

-Overdose... Why? You hated that kind of thing, you were always aware of the damage it caused, does it taste that good or did you just try to swallow your damn problems until you couldn't breathe anymore? If you were going to end up like that anyway, you should have at least stayed with me.

It's no use, he's not going to answer me, no matter how much of a crybaby he is, he won't get up to comfort me or yell at me to leave, it's so sad to see how the best person you knew ended up dying for such a cause....

My lips were trembling and without thinking I said -Die- I felt some drops on my head and after being silent for a while I realized I was all soaked, the cold consumed me and I just wanted to sleep and go back to those times where we were both happy together, I want him to apologize.
