For Casey

Delia had read the reports in the newspaper, but had refused to admit it. Casey was her best friend, she knew everything about her. Frustrated, Delia had picked up the phone and called Casey's house.

"Hello, Mrs. Turner? Is Casey there?" Delia asked.

"I thought you'd heard dear," Mrs. Turner had said with a quiver in her voice, "Casey jumped off the Golden Lake bridge."

"Oh..."Delia stammered, and hung up.

Casey hadn't had a troubled life. It was Jeremy who had done this to her, Delia had thought.

Jeremy was Casey's boyfriend. Her parents didn't approve of their relationship, and Delia suspected it was supposed to be a double suicide, but Jeremy had backed off.

Sighing, Delia had grabbed her jacket and went to Jeremy's house. With a little sweet-talking, Delia managed to get Jeremy to go to Golden Lake with her.

Whilst standing on the bridge, Jeremy had put his hands in his pockets, looking for something. Delia had crept up behind him and pushed him in.

Delia herself jumped, and her last words were barely a whisper:

"For Casey."
