I stood, watching with teary eyes as the coffin was lowered into the ground. I didn’t know why I was crying, I wasn’t really thinking at all. My mind was blank, numb with the pain. Sebastian was dead. His body would soon be cold and rotting underground and there was nothing I could do to change that. I had thought the world revolved around the two of us, but, at the crucial time, the crucial minute, I hadn’t been there to save his life. Maybe if I had been in the car with him, maybe if I had warned him in time! My mind was focused on that one thought; I didn’t know how, but I knew, it was all my fault. Sebastian was dead because of me, and there was nothing I could do to change that.
Two years ago it had been predicted that my world would fall, and fall it certainly had. So, slowly, gingerly, I closed my eyes, took the amber necklace from around my neck, rubbed it between my fingers and prayed that death would come and stop my pain.
