Epilogue

A Note, a Poem, a Cry, a Tear, a Body

He found it there laying neatly beside her cold body. A note. Damien bit his lip as he walked out with the two pieces of paper in his hand. He didn’t want this to happen to her. Everyone would blame him for hurting her. He blamed him self. But when he looked at the paper and started to read he realized that he was just a little drop on the load she had been carrying.

Fear is what I’m feeling right now. Nothing really is getting to me as I look at the paper that you are bound to find next to my lifeless body. But there is something you must know. I’m sorry for doing this. Everything has been to much for me. I said I would never do this but here I am. Mom was the only one that ever really cared about me. No one ever showed they cared as much. I thought that maybe Damien did but I am not stupid and I didn’t give all my heart to him. If you read this please give it to Laura or Marie to give to everyone in the group.

You can’t deny it anymore and pretend like everything is going to resolve it’s self. With all this tension it is no wonder why I am standing over this sink right now writing this. Please just tell people how you feel or become like me. If all I’ve done with this is make people angry then I have failed. I love all of you.

So, so sorry,

Chloe.

He stood there with a tear in his eye and realized that she was one of the best things that had ever happened to him. Even though he had kissed Mary on purpose he still didn’t like Mary that much. He thought about Chloe’s face, her hair, he smiles, he sad longing for more love in her eyes. He knew that he couldn’t give her what she had wanted. He let tears fall down his cheek and walked out the door feeling like he had just killed her. Once outside he called the ambulance. They came told them she was dead and took her off and away with Penelope and Stella hugging each other crying their eyes out. With just a nod to them he walked off with the note and poem still in his hand. He still hadn’t read it. He thought he better read it with her friends.

The next day at school the morning announcements said to remember her. Only the teacher seemed to know who Chloe was. People looked at each other wondering who the girl was. After the class everybody had sat down at the table but none were talking. Damien looked down at the table thinking of the right time to give them the note.

Marie who was sitting right in front of him pointed her finger at him. “It was your fault! All of it was you! She would have never done that if you hadn’t broke her heart!” Marie let out a sob but held the rest of them back. She glared at Damien as he looked up at her and handed her the note that he had ion his hand. She read it and started to cry.

Damien sat the poem on the table and read it slowly.

Uncared For

Walking around like a lifeless corpse
That is Chloe every day
Keeping every pain and emotion inside
Down to deep to reach
The fall was the worst
You’re all liars, sinners, and murderers
Lie Laura lie some more
Maybe Marie will finally listen to me
Hoping Hope will find some peace at last
Ask Ashlee she’ll tell every secret you hide
Sassy Sonny they all think your gay
Demons haunt me because of Damien
Precious Penelope who killed most of my spirit to fight
Dear old Daddy didn’t help with that
Brave Beth was the person I loved like a sister
Tell the truth my friends
If you don’t this back stabbing will not end with me
I have talked behind all of your backs
But you have too
We are all liars, sinners, and murderers
All of you have your own problems
And mine don’t matter
When she died she took me with her
Because she was the only one who cared
And I can’t stand to be uncared for anymore.

Damien closed his eyes and pushed the poem in the direction of the Laura and Ashlee. “All of you read it.” he opened his eyes and saw Laura reading the poem urgently with Ashlee looking over her shoulder. Sonny was holding the note and Hope was reading it leaning slightly to see better as she held Kenny’s hand tightly. Marie looked at the poem that was across the table in Laura’s hands. Damien then put his head on the table and sighed a shaky breath. He heard Ashlee suck in her breath as she read her line. Laura just shook her head as they both finished the poem and traded it with Hope and Sonny for the note. Marie leaned over to Sonny and read the poem too. With the another sob as she read her line and the rest of the poem she stood up and walked away. Sonny’s eyes narrowed at the sight of his and Hope smiled a very small smile as she read hers.

“She says that they all think I’m gay. Who is ‘they all’?” Damien point slowly at everyone there while Sonny was looking at him. “All of you guys?”

They all nodded but Laura. “She told me to lie some more. What is it about the lying thing? She said that yesterday.” Laura blinked back tears as she thought about Chloe killing herself then leaving such a hateful poem behind.

“Damnit, Laura! Don’t you get it! Your not dating those football players. You’re still a virgin we have caught you in a lie more times than one. We all laugh about it behind you back. Even Ashlee who happens to tell anyone she meets about how you lie your ass off!” Sonny said slamming his fist on the table. “I’m not gay. I’m bi.” with that he leaned back and crossed his arms.

“Is that what she means by ‘Ask Ashlee she’ll tell every secret you hide?” Ashlee said in a quiet voice that was barely hearable to Damien but he still heard it.

“Yes.” Sonny said as a final statement.

“I just realized Chloe was right about all this shit. If we don’t start being truthful with each other we will never be friends.” Hope said heatedly. “I don’t want to put up with this shit right now because we are all back stabbing freaks.” Hope stood up and so did Kenny with her as she bent over so she was not even a foot away from Laura’s face. “And Chloe had to die to make us see how fucked up these friendships are. Fuck it all. Fuck you and take you head out your ass and smell the fresh clean air that has no lies in it. Unlike you.” With that she walked away with a frown on her face.

Damien stood up and took the note from Laura’s hand that was shaking. She had tears going down her face as she just started in front of her. Turning and leaving her and Ashlee sitting there with the after math.

After high school Damien moved back up to New York with his mom to go to NYU. Hope and Kenny got engaged and now room together right outside of the local private college that they attend. Ashlee kept being friends with Hope and they were still very good friends. Laura went to college in Washington DC and became one of the best lawyers in the area. She finally married and she never lied about those things again. Sonny lived only a couple houses down from Hope and roomed with Marie and one of her friends. After the day Chloe killed herself Marie went into a depressive state until she met a person unlike her love Josh and they fell in love. Marie waited for marriage unlike her mother and Sarah, her sister, who got pregnant her 10th grade year and named the baby Chloe. Penelope moved and settled down with a guy like herself and they had 4 kids, who act like demons. Beth moved back home a year later and caught a friend ship up with Hope and they have been friends ever since. Chloe was buried beside her mother and her funeral was attended by 30 guests. 20 of which were family and I of them was Beth. Every year on the day that Chloe had killed herself Laura, Hope, Beth, Sonny, and Ashlee all come to her grave. They have never met each other once while doing it and Laura hasn’t seen any of them since high school. Damien still has the original copy of the note and poem as if to keep a part of her with him. In the end Chloe died for the sake of her friends that she cared about. Her death was not in vain and her memory never died in the ones that loved her. But just because they loved her didn’t mean they cared.
