Do you ever fear that you are going to lose someone close to you? Do you ever think that you might not see someone ever again? Well, I didn't. It was the summer after sixth grade. My hometown had just opened a new swimming pool and everyone loved it. Now, I can’t go there anymore without seeing her sleeping on one of the chairs, or dipping her feet in the water. The her I’m talking about was my best friend Erin. We had started hanging out at the beginning of the sixth grade when we were put in a group for a school thing together. After that, we were inseparable. We were always at each other's houses, or going to the pool when it was warm enough. And about half way through summer vacation she stayed a full week at my house. Nothing seemed wrong.
A few days after she had gone home, I was planning on meeting Erin at the pool. She showed up later than we had planned and said that she didn’t feel very good, but that she was just going to lay in the sun instead of swimming. I was fine with it and went back to swimming in the water by her chair.After a few minutes I look over at her to ask if she felt okay enough to get in the water, she loved water. But when I look over at her, she was asleep. I just thought that maybe she was tired. The next day went by and Erin was sick. Just a flu is what I thought. The next night, as I was getting ready for bed, I heard my mom come into my room. She said that I should sit down, so I sat on my bed as she told me that Erin's mom had taken her to the hospital because she had lost sight in one of her eyes and she was running a very high temperature. I didn’t know what to think. Just that my friend was sick and that she would be better in a few days after getting medicine from the doctor. Erin’s problem wasn’t that easy to fix.
