Jerry

*************There is a good number of spelling problems. But I dont feel like editing. But i do want to post. This is just a quick write. that is all no idea where it was going.**************

Jerry stud there on the bank of the river. Watching the water slowly drift along. Thinking about this life. It only felt like yesterday that he was in high school. Seeing a smooth round rock; he bent and picked it up. He turned its smooth cold serfs over in his hands. How many countless hours did he spend down by this river. His very first fish he caught was here. As well as his first kiss. He wondered where Mandy was now. He hadn't thought about her in ages. He arched his arm back and flown it fowers. His risk snapping before he let the rock fly. The smooth rock hit the serfus of the water and skipped once, twice, three times before disparring under the water. The ripples it left behind flowed outwards in all detrason.

"Here you are Jerry." A women's voice said behind him. He turned to see Alexandria walking down the small path. He smiled and walked over to help her down. The rocks under her high heels making her woable.

"Hi dear." He said with a small kiss on her cheek.

"I was starting to worry about you."

"there no need to be." He replied with a small chuckle.

"I know he was a close friend to you."

"Yeah he was. But I hadn't seen him in 15 years. I wish I knew he had started to drink again. Maybe I." he started to say.

"Hey don't put this on your shoulders. No one knew he had started to drink again." she said cutting him off from finishing his thought. "It's not easy to keep in touch with people after high school."

"He called me two weeks ago. I was too busy to take the call. He left a massage. Asking me to call him back as soon as possible. I figured I call him Monday. Monday I got the call."

"Don't beat yourself up. You had no idea what was going to happen."

"No, but what if I called him back sooner or taken his call."

"What if. You can ask yourself that all you want. But it doesn't change anything. What's done is done. He made his own choose."

"I know." She held him close. As they stud there by the river. How lucky he was to have her he thought to himself. As they stud there. They had been together 7 years now. They have had their ups and downs like anyone else. But he couldn’t think of his life without her.

"Hun, I know you want to blame yourself. But you can't. He took his own life. You didn't make him." she held him close her back to the river. Jerry just stud there staring out at the lowly drifting water. He felt he should have done more. Felt as if it was his felt. Even know everything Alex was saying was right. It still didn’t change how he felt.
