“When the truth slap your face : Death deosn’t knock your door before getting in”

The weather has showed some signs since the early morning...it was stormy and windy. I wasn’t planning to go to college, but i did. My practical course was cancelled, so i was sitting with two of my friends discussing some home works while i saw one of my classmate passing in front of us in such miserable state: she was asking for help, crying, holding her cell phone... she was simply confused.
I asked her what was going on...she said that one of our classmate just recieved the shocking news of her little sister’s death. She passed out and can’t walk anymore. They are looking for someone to drive her home seeing that their group is having classe that time and the professor didn’t allow any interruption of the course. I proposed to take care of her and to drive her home. She couldn’t walk, a group of students came to carry her...she was only crying with a loud voice. She was sitting next to me, screaming, yelling and crying...i couldn’t say any word...even to ask for direction to her home, i couldn’t demand it.

I avoid all the details... i prefer describing to you directly what i saw. It was heart breaking...to see a young, beautiful 12 year-old girl laying on her bed only like a dead body...without soul, without breath. I was the first stranger to assit to the first confusing moment...only the mom and the 2 sisters and me were there...in front of the little dead body.
The most painful moment was when my friend was begging her sister to open her eyes...shaking her dead body, screaming and repeating “ wake up sister, please wake up...you are jokking, aren’t you?!”

I was freezing in my place...shocked and confused. I prefered leaving them alone...i left, dragging my legs...collecting the broken pieces of me. I spent all the day like a mentally retarded person. I handled the situation for hours...the scene couldn’t leave my mind and my eyes when i finally blow up with cries while i was telling my friend about the story.

Love, kiss and hug the persons you love...u never know if u will see them tomorrow.
