What?

I put the phone down and just sat and stared into nothingness. How is this possible, am I about to wake up from a nightmare? My hands are shaking suddenly I feel a tear swell in my eye and within a second it’s gone. I’m absolutely gobsmacked. My best friend the only person who knows me better than myself is gone forever. How am I supposed to get over this get through the rest of my life without her witty remarks and amazing sense of humor not to mention her tender and loving heart that has been there for me when no one else was. I can’t even remember a time when she wasn’t in my life. I feel as though my lung has been ripped out of my chest and I just can’t breathe without her. I pick up my phone and start to call my mom. She answers after about the fourth ring.
“Hello sweety how is evertything going?” She asks inquisitively
“i, uhm, Marcey, she, uhm, she was in a crash, and, uh,...”
“What? Ang what is going on, what happened? Is Marcey okay?”
“No, she, uh, she is, she is gone.”
“What are you talking about? Where has Marcey gone?”
I took a deep breathe after her question as she clearly couldn’t believe what she was hearing and I couldn’t either it felt wrong to say it, but it was time for me to be strong for at least 3 seconds to get out what I needed to tell her.
“Mom. She is dead. I’m leaving now to come home. ”
” how is that possible, no don’t drive we will come pick you up.”
Having my parents come fetch me and have to sit in the car for 1 and a half hours back home was the last thing I wanted to do.
“No please don’t I’ll be fine to drive it shouldn’t take me too long I’m just going to pack a bag and be in my way, I’ll drive carefully, see you soon.” I said quick calmly, I was very surprised as to how much control I had.
“ are you sure Angie, I really don’t mind. Also are you okay?”
”I’m sure, I’ll see you soon, I will be.”
I did exactly what I told my mom, I packed my bag luckily I had just cleaned the place so everything was cleaned, I was about to leave when I stopped at the door and turned to face marceys room. I stood for a while before plucking up the courage to go to her door. As I opened it a whiff of her scent made my head start spinning I couldn’t do it. I ran out the door and locked it.
The drive wasn’t too bad I did drive at a very slow speed and if I saw any signs of rain or lightening I avoided areas with lots of trees. About 20 minutes out I saw glass ahead in the middle of the road with a broken bumper and what looked like a windshield. As I drove pasted I looked next to the site and saw an enormous tree cut up into large chunks. It looked like just one trunk could squash a car. At the thought my stomach churned and I had to stop the car to let out what was on its way up out my body. I got back in the car after wiping my mouth and drinking some water. I moved the thought to the back of my mind and just concentrated on getting home.
