About to Lose a Friend

By alesana

I'm just
freaking out
and not a little bit, either.
here's how it's going to play out:
his parents are going
to pull him out of school
because he didn't make 
Dean's list
and he's in legal trouble.
if he goes home, 
he's going to
commit suicide.
He can't stand it there.
If he stays here,
he's likely to get 20 years
in prison
for something I know he regrets,
something I forgave him for,
something we all moved past.
A year later now
it all had to come to light,
I don't see at all
why revealing this was necessary.
There's no way around it;
It would take a miracle
to save him.
