"Happy eighth birthday, Audrey!" an enthusiastic birthday girl said to her best friend.
"You too, Caitlin," the other birthday girl said as the two hugged.

The nineteen-year-old stood quietly, her eyes glued to the gray, marble headstone. Her eyes scrolled over the words again and again, tears streaming down her freckled cheeks, even though she had read them every day for ten years.
Audrey Hall
June 17, 1993 - February 2011
Lost and Never Found
Gone but Never Forgotten
She knelt down and ran her fingers across the stone; it dropped along with her eyes. She knew the her best friend's body wasn't under there. What the headstone said was literal: she was never found, but pronounced dead after being missing for a year and a half.
"Happy nineteenth birthday, Audrey," Caitlin whispered as she placed a concrete stone next to the marble. It was a flattened piece (though roughly flattened -- they had to smash it on the driveway and with other rocks after the big chunk had dried) with two small handprints imprinted in it.
"Do you remember this?" she asked quietly, placing her hand over the small imprint on the right side. "This was from our eigth birthday party. From what we called arts and crafts time." She smiled weakly as her eyes swiveled along the colorful beads that flecked the rock. "This is my hand. And that one is--" Caitlin paused for a moment, took a breath and continued. "And that one was yours."
She sat in silence for twenty minutes. It wasn't until a family of birds began chirping loudly that she snapped back to reality. Caitlin smiled (although her lips didn't part as she did so) and stood up, letting out another deep breath. She began to walk away, and slid her hand across the top of the marble headstone as she did.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Audrey. Happy birthday."

This story. It's so...sweet? I don't know, but I wouldn't mind reading more~ (it's on the first page, by the way. :3) I mean, you know what they say, "You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover."
