Writing Challenge - Something you regret

Of course, Derry is still on my mind. In spite of these new happenings with Sara.

I wish I had been the friend he needed. Still, its a mystery to me to figure out what was really going on with him. Was he into drugs? Something even worse?

I've talked with his mom, a little. But I know right now is too soon to really talk about him. She's so heartbroken.

But we have to remember, he was depressed. He might have been crazy with all those conspiracy theories of his. But what if he was right...all along. Somebody was following him. Somebody was checking up on him. Somebody wanted to silence him.

I don't even know what I could have done.

Sara reminds me, she's glad I didn't know. Because she thinks something bad would have happened to me too.

When I rewind it all back in my head, about how we were friends. If only, I could have been more inspiring. Somehow, helped him move forward in his life, who knows, we might be working for NASA right now orbiting Mars.

Yeah, like that would have happened. Only in my wildest dreams.
