Ch. 39 Nothing

I just stared at him

and watched him cry.

I didn't know what to do,

or what to think,

or what to say.

What do you do

when you find out your best friend

just died?

What do you think

when you were the one

to survive the accident?

What do you say

when you know

you were the one driving?

Author's Note

This chapter was supposed to be sort of a surprise. Like "surprise! Riley was the one driving the car!" As a reader, did you already assume that Riley was the one driving? Or did you think that maybe Charlotte had been the driver. Please let me know. Thanks for reading.

Was that sad: Yes.
Did You pull my heartstrings: Yes.
Did I fall in love with this story: Yes.
Was I so tempted to almost shed a tear in class: Hell yes.
I think this is one of those endings that are just fantastic. I could have sworn that you already mentioned that Riley was driving, I dunno. I still loved it. A lot.
I think it's fantastic and beautiful and a nice twist on a cliched topic, which means that it's pretty freaking amazing.
Sadly, I can't give you 1,000/100 on the rating...

Thanks for the reviews! It's reviews like this that keep me motivated to keep this story going. I'm not glad that this made you sad, but I'm glad that it was emotional for you which is what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm happy that you like it so far and I hope you keep reading. Thanks again!

Wait... there's more!
Yay~!
Maybe it wasn't sad, but maybe a more empathetic feeling. That's what I was implying, but I was in the middle of class, so I wasn't really thinking it through entirely.
Nonetheless, I love it.

Yes, empathetic. Sorry. That's actually the word I wanted but I couldn't think of it at the time. Either way, empathy is what I'm aiming for so that's good.

Keep going!!! this chapter was really good. I felt the survival guilt as if I was Riley.
