Rosemarie's Grieving Story

Rosemarie always looked happy when she was around her best friend, Ian. Ian and Rosemaries had been best friend for 6 years. They were super close, they told each other everything and were honest to each other all the time. They were practically like brother and sister.
One day, Ian's mother called Rosemarie crying. Ian's mother told Rosemarie that Ian was in a horrible accident and that he is in unstable conditions. Rosemarie quickly rushed to the hospital with her parents. Rosemarie was so scared and worried. She couldnt believe what was going on. After the doctors came out to tell them that Ian was in bad conditions and there wasn't much they could do, so after Rosemarie went inside with Ian. They talked for a couple minutes. Ian was telling Rosemarie, " I love you Rosemarie. You will always be my best friend no matter what and follow your dreams ok and never forget about me! ". He chuckled, then his eyes slowly closed and he never woke up again. Rosemarie couldn't believe it, her best friend, her brother, was gone forever.
Rosemarie couldn't and didn't want to believe Ian had past away. She would go everyday to visit Ian in the cemetery and cry there for hours. At school, she looked so sad and preferred to be alone most of the time. But not only was she sad, she also seemed angry. She was mad that it was her best friend that died. She knew Ian was a great person, he was so generous and he didn't deserve to die at such a young age. She let her angry out on her family and friends. She would yell, ignore, and give attitude to her parents and others around her. She couldn't control herself sometimes, she was just so hurt.
Rosemarie was always a good student. She always got straight A's and B's. But ever since Ian pasted away she started doing bad. She never paid attention in class, never did her work, didn't turn in her assignments, all she did was sit down and stood quiet. Sometimes she hardly even talked all day. She barely even ate or walked out of her room when she got home.  She prayed that she would get better. That she would get over Ian's death.  She also knew that if Ian was still alive, she would of never gotten bad grades and not feel depressed. Her life would be back to normal, if only Ian was still alive.
Rosemarie's parents thought she really needed help. So they put her in therapy. There, Rosemarie met a boy named James. James and Rosemarie both had lost someone important in their life's  They started talking and shared their feelings together. They got close, she finally met someone that understood her pain, someone that listened and gave her advice. Rosemarie felt happy around him. She was happy again. She started doing good in school and listened to her parents.Of course she still missed Ian but Rosemarie knew that Ian past away for a reason and he was in a better place. She still thought about him everyday. She knew that Ian would be proud of her for moving on.
