MY Near Death Experiences

It all started 22 years back and i can still remember that faithful day though i was three years old but the memory is still fresh in my head,my mum took me to register me in school i just can't forget the first time i step my feet in to calvery nursery school compound ,.

I met this guy his name is JOSEPH after my second day in school we became real cool together even though we where just kid(but i feel that connection the same time i spoke to him) at first we never agreed to each others decision but as time goes on we began to connect,our first fight in school was because of (RECHARD) i still remember back then if you buy and eat alone we where just not going to play with you in school for some period of time ,one day rechard brought a bicycle to school and refuse to give me and gave only my friend because i and rechard was not really friends,that was how i started quarreling my friend but that day pass and every thing became fine,after that term we heard that rechard have stooped schooling that he wants to do basket ball and i said to my self as little as he was but my mum now said that no matter your height and size all we need in life is determination,i have to put every thing behind me and moved on with my friend,we went back to who we use to be  we help each other,shared secrete too we had our ups and down but we moved on,our relationship became more strong when we met in the same secondary school,our second fight was because of a lady we fell in love with the same girl and that really shifted our closeness for sometime.

we skip talking to each other and i hated him for being a womerniser but i just have to accept him that way because it dont have to be about my policy all the time ,.but as time pass by i begin to notice so many wired things about him ranging from the fact that he likes leaving a thug life to being a snitch i still accepted him as my friend because i believe friendship has no bound

but i almost lost my senses when i noticed he started liking my woman. one blue day he walk up to me and ask me if i really love my girl 
i was not confortable with that ASK, so i have to keep a close eye on him partaining my girl and i noticed he was spoiling my relationship
i asked him why and he ask me to forgive of wich i did,.our friendship moved up to another level bacause we met in the same 
university but we where not orportune to stay in the same campus but things stared going bad for him because his father 
was prison for drug case and in my country nigeria there dont take it easy , he had to move into my place and that was not easy
for him because his campus wasent near but he was still managing,i noticed he had already startded doing hard drugs,but 
i cant ask him out of my apartment because he dont have any where to go,one morning i noticed i was cold i thought maybe 
is normal i went to school i toced whyle i was in school that my body was becomming hot and hot,the last thing i remembered
that day was that i finised eaten at the school cafe, the next place i found myself was in the hopital and i needed operation 
because i had apendix and i needed blood my friend have to donate 2 pounds of blood so i can carry on my operation,while i was 
in the hospital he help me with school activities,five months latter that was genuary i began my normal activities but i never
knew that i have less than two months to see my freind again,as time pass by we steped into february and we where all happy
about the forth coming lovers day which is popularly known as (VALENTINES DAY) as we hard our final exams too coming up we really never wanted to loss focus we played our game well and at the same time we where having super fun in school,on this unfortunate day that was 14 February I CAN NEVER FORGET THIS DATE

We where preparing for our trip to the beach with our girls i never knew that my friend wont come back home with me, after we left the house i began having a bad feeling 

that something good was going to happen, i told my friend the feelings i am having there all flap at it and ask me what i wanted ,i beg them to choose some where else instead of the beach but there refuse , we hard lunch and i tried to drive their attention from the beach but JOSEPH still insist that it has been long he went to the beach, we never know what will befall him was the same thin that was calling him to the beach , when we reached the beach i know for sure that i dont really know how to swim but since that day was extra ordinary for lovers 
i choose to try a new thing, i enter inside the water and as time goes on i choose to enter a more dipper side of the beach and i was still confortable with it
but i notice my woman was drawing and i was the only person that was close to her after i tried saving her but i notice i was going down with her too i scream 
for help and my friend was the only person that came through but after he rescuied me instead of him comming out i noticed people started crying to my gratest surprise 

my friend was the one dawning and nobody to help, before the divers will arrive he gave up the ghost,.i use to remember how we support each other and all the future plans just died like that it was not easy for me after knowing that he died because of me,from that day till date my val have always being a bad day and a day 
i will never forget,this was how my best friend died for me.

Ever since i lost my friend in that beach i have never being to any beach before and some days from now i will put on my black on black to mourn my beloved friend who gave the struggle of life for my sack,. i feel so guilty for his death because be died in the process of saving me.(rest in peace Joseph) till we met to part no more. 

as i write this story of mine i still feel very bad for his dead i wish i have just one more chance to change things but i believe GOD knows best,. R.I.P JOE.      (TEARS)
