Close To The Dangerous Bad Boy novel Chapter 72

"Glad to." I heard her overly sugar-like voice as she flipped her long brown hair and pierced me with her cold eyes.

Man, I hated her.

A few hours later, still no sign of Lucas. No text, no nothing.

I hope he didn't get arrested or something.

And that my mom didn't flip out. And got sent to the nuthouse.

And that nobody decided to wear yellow today.

And that -

I felt a slight buzzing in my left pocket. Oh, that must be Lucas!

I took out my phone, but on my surprise it wasn't him.

It was May. What does she want? I clicked open.

'Dear friend,

there comes a time in everyone's life when

they have to say goodbye. For me, today is that day.

Thank you for everything. For every kind word, for every smile.

Don't let my passing bring a tear to your eye.

Live. Laugh. Love.

Forever your angel,

May'

I stared at the message for a while, as if I didn't believe the words written on the screen. I read it over and over again.

Dead? Could she be dead? The girl? That fragile woman?

A woman that wore skin on her skeleton like a robe...

That could've been me so easily. That could be my future. It hurt. It hurt my heart. Not only because May died, but because...I took everything for granted. Life, like it was nothing. I played with it like it meant nothing, and a girl that wanted to live...couldn't.
