•CHAPTER FIVE•
•Kimberley's POV•
Today, it has been a year since Wade has died. Nathan broke up with me a few days after and quit football. He was never the same after what happened to Wade. Whenever someone spoke about him, Nathan would get so mad. He didn't care about anything anymore. All the passion he had in his eyes disappeared just like his love for me. I was heartbroken when I first found that out. Wade was my best friend too but his death didn't do to me what it has done to Nathan. I'm still a cheerleader, a straight A student, and I got a new boyfriend named Chad. Chad and I will never have what Nathan and I had, but I'm still happy enough with Chad. I still have the necklace that Nathan gave me, but Chad doesn't like that. Today I told Nathan I was going to his house after school; I'm going to give him the necklace back.
*****
I walk into Nathan's house; it's really quite. His parents must not be home yet. I walk upstairs expecting Nathan to be in his room. His door was slightly creaked open; it smells like someone's dog just died. I reach for the door and slowly open it. My heart drops.
Nathan was hanging from a noose. He killed himself. The colour of his body looked so drained and cold. My body is frozen, I can't move. I don't know how to react. I see a sheet of paper on his desk; I slowly walk over and hold it with my shaking hands. It was a suicide note. The letter says:
Dear Kimberley,
As you already know, I killed myself. I have been planning this for a while now, ever since Wade has died. There was a reason that I broke up with you. That reason is Wade. When I was in the bathroom at the hospital while they were doing surgery on Wade, I got a tattoo. I got a tattoo of Wade's last words. I thought that I loved you; I thought that I would spend the rest of my life with you, and I thought that you were my soulmate. I guess I was wrong. I didn't even know I was gay, I never had any feelings for Wade like that, but I think that Wade did. In Wade's hospital room, before he died, he told me he was jealous. I thought that he was talking about me, that he was jealous of me because he liked you and that was the reason we kept getting in fights, but I was wrong. Wade was jealous of you, he liked me. His last words were "Marry her." Those are the words I have far up my right shoulder in black ink. Those are the words that ruined my life. I'm sorry.
~Nathan
*****
Today has been a long day; all I want to do is go to bed. I'm still in shock about what happened to Nathan. I had to be the one who called 911. It hurt to see his parent's faces. If only Nathan had talked to me about what happened to him before he killed himself. I could've helped him; we could've continued to have a happy life. I didn't care about the tattoo Nathan had, I knew he didn't love Wade. Nathan loved me, and I love him. When I went down to the police station to give them my statement, I didn't tell them about Nathan's letter. I know that's illegal, but it was Nathan's secret. I take my clothes off to change into my pajamas in front of the mirror. I notice something on my back, I tried wiping it off thinking it was dirt. Nothing happened. I take a closer look at what's on my back. There are words written in permanent black ink. It's a tattoo.
"Nathan"
Nathan? I pull out Nathan's suicide letter and my eyes scan down to the last word. "Nathan."
You might think knowing who your soulmate was would be the best thing ever, but it was the saddest thing to ever happen to me.
