Prologue:
My Twitterive is based around a time in my life where it felt like everything in my world changed. The place that I am focusing on is “Greiving”. This story is based on a mental state grounded by specific places and memories surrounding a specific event. This past summer one of my best friends, Christopher Baillie past away after a tragic hiking accident on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. In the following months after Baillie’s passing I really analyzed and thought about the vast amount of aspects that made up our friendship. So many different forms of adjusting and understanding life started to arise within my mind. I was able to see how much our relationship has changed and progressed over the years and the impacts that our friendship had in my life. Tracing through the footsteps of the many memories we had with eachother, I was able to find the beauty in this unfortunate event.

A Seaside Encounter
It was a mildly cold spring night about seven years ago, when I was a sophomore in high school. My friends Emily, Laura, Michele and I were bored with the night and decided that we thought it would be fun to go on a scavenger hunt. We made teams Laura and Michele on one side and Emily and I on the other. One of the biggest rules to creating the list for the opposing team was that you had to have them get a picture with an object that belonged to a guy they liked from our school. So our big mission was set, Emily and I had to go to the “Seaside House”. This is where my crush lived at the time and we needed to get a picture with his pickup truck. We hopped into my car and sped as fast as we could over to Seaside.
Once we arrived to the house and his truck was parked right outside. We could tell that there were a million people inside house that could possibly come out at any minute and see us. Emily pushed me out of the car and shot a few pictures of me standing in front of the pickup. Running franticly back to my car, I saw a ton of headlights turning onto the street. The lights surround my little white car and Emily and I both immediately begin to panic and freak out not knowing what to do. I scream at Emily “Duck under the seat”.
“Oh my gosh, Chelsea they definitely saw us” Emily whispers to me as we are ducking under our seats as if our lives depended on it. In the fetal position, horrified that whoever just pulled up around my car could have possibly seen us Emily lets out the loudest blood curdling scream.
“What the heck is wrong with you?” I told her to “Shut up!”
“Chel, it’s Chris Baillie”
“Who?” I responded as she points out the window.
Walking past my car was a long haired, red headed, freckled boy with a black zippered up hoodie, holding a pizza. He peered into my window looking right at me, while Emily would not sit up from under the seat. Once he past my car and went into the house, we sped off of the street quicker than you could ever imagine.

Little thoughts..
Thursday Nights
It was that time of week again eight o’clock on Thursday. It was time to grab my Bible and set off down to Bird’s house for Bible study. Once again I was running late so I was going fifty mph around the winding lakes to get to his house. “I wonder who’s going to be here tonight.” I thought to myself. Finally pulling into the rock driveway I see Haus’s red car, Jackie’s little green car and Baillie’s blue car covered in bumper stickers with his massive trunk of treasures attached to the roof and a few others parked throughout the street. Walking through the door the usual beep went off of on the security system to let you know someone was here. Making my way down the hallway to the living room where everyone was I took my seat on the two seater couch next to Haus and in his regular spot sat Bail on the left corner of the big couch fiddling away with his bible in one hand and his cherished iphone in the other.
Unexpected Arrival
The first song of worship just started and I was standing next to Holly who was next to both my parent. I had no one on either side of me because everyone was still away at school. The band started to play the first few notes of song when I felt the urge to turn around for some reason. Within seconds of my head turning around Bail walked through the back doors, my entire body filled with joy. I hit Holly so hard and we both pushed our way through our parents practically knocking over the chairs in our row to get to him. We both jumped on him giving him the biggest hugs which drew so much attention to all of us which he probably hated! I was so excited he was finally home from Arizona and we could all hang out again. “I can’t believe he didn’t tell us he was coming home today”, I thought as I attempted to make my way back to my seat. That was the happiest I had ever been to see one of my friends again.
Up
Winter break was hitting its ultimate low as it usually does, it was cold outside and there was nowhere to hangout. After several phone calls and text messages a few of us decided to head to Bail’s house to figure out something to do for the night. Walking through his front door i made my way up the stairs to his room right at the top of the stairs to the left. Tara and Bail were looking at some skydiving gear on his computer so I plopped myself on his bed and started looking through the million DVD’s he had that lined the one wall of his room. As I was looking through the movies Emily finally arrived. I begged about twenty times to either watch Harry Potter of Twilight but of course I was turned down all twenty times. So we decided to watch Up. Bail sat on his computer chair while Emily, Tara and I squeezed onto the bed and watched the movie off of his laptop.

No Ordinary Day
Pulling into the church parking lot, Emily and I had our music on jamming out to whatever songs were on my "Lovely Music" playlist. We decided to skip helping out with the youth group that night becuase we thuoght it would be fun to take a bikeride instead. We got out of the car and made our way across the parking lot into the basement of the church where youth group was held.
Entering through the huge dark brown door we were hit with the usual loudness of the many kids hanging out downstairs. Ducking every which way from the array of colorful dodgeballs, we made our way across the room to where all the girls were sitting down chatting. We put our purses down on the table and conversed with a few of the girls who were still hanging around waiting for their parents to pick them up. Suddenly I'm struck with a ping pong ball right to the middle of my forehead. "Hey" I screamed, as I looked over towards the direction in which the ball came flying at me. Well even though I should have known already it was the works of Hausman and Baillie. Sprinting up to go seek my revenge, I made my way over to the ping pong table. I hadn't seen Baillie in weeks, due to us having conflicting work scheduals. As we approched eachother I was expecting the usual punch to the sholder or kick to my knee, but instead gave me the biggest hug and said "I miss you". Taken back becuase this was completely out of character for him I responded saying the same and thinking nothing of it. We all waited untill all of the children were picked up by their parents and made some plans for the night.
We decided to make a trip down to Long Beach Island to grab some food at the Chegg. All my friends gathered into the church van, which was smelling of musk from the wet surfboards and wetsuits that had been throw into it over the past week. Emily and I sat next to eachother as usual in the second row with Warren on Emilys other side. There is no air in the van so we had all of the windows wide open, causing our hair to whip back and forth the entire drive. Baillie drove behind us in his car because he had to go back down to work after we were done eatting. Emily and I forced whoever was driving to put on one of our usual choices of music from Beloved, Blindside, or Haste the Day and screamed the lyrics the entire way to the restraunt.
Fianlly reaching the Chegg after our forty minute drive we sat outside in the summer air waiting for a table to be cleared since we had so many people with us. After being seated in our usual seats along the back wall, our waitress came up and took all of our orders. Emily and I were stuck on the end of the table where we could barely hear anything of the conversations that were going on while we were waiting for our food. Finally our food came out, looking more delicious than ever we all said a prayer and dug in. Sitiing at the head of the table I could see what everyone was eatting, unsure of what all of it was Emily and I shouted to Bail untill we go his attetion to see what he was eatting. "The Fat Chegg" he responded inbetween bites. Indulging in my food I heard choking in the midths of all the chomping, I look up and it was Baillie. As usually he was inhaling his food enjoying ever minute of it! I shouted Bail, are you okay? I got the usual goofy face back from him in response of my question. We all finished up our meals and of course struggled with paying the check which is normal when we go out to eat. Fianlly having all the money collected we paid up at the counter and headed out. Everyone departed and we climbed into the church van as Baillie got into his blue car painted with bumper stickers. We pulled away going our seperate ways just like every other night, but little did I know it would be a night I cherished for the rest of my life.

New Definition
Endless phone calls from friends, unanswered
Unaware that soon I would know of his fate
Stepping out from behind my car, my mother’s face wore pain
Mumbled words spilled from her mouth
I could not piece them together or understand
Disbelief, panic, uncertainty, pain, confusion hit my body
The world around me turned to a blur
I don’t know if my heart stopped or if it just broke
Approaching the driveway filled with dozens of cars
Greeted by sobbing hugs, shaking bodies, and tear filled eyes
Unanswered questions
Overflowing prayers
Loving embraces
Packed every room of the house from dawn to dusk
As the answers were slowly being answered
Images flashing through my mind like a disposable camera
They wouldn’t stop, unsure if I wanted them to or not
Trembling and exhausted our bodies needed rest
Attempts to sleep were replaced with cries of love
A new definition of friendship was discovered that day

Letter
Dear Bail,
I still find it crazy that you are not here. Emily and I discuss all of the time how we are still in a state of disbelief. It’s strange because even though it’s been months, I have had times where I forget that I can’t call you or text you. One night Emily and I were sitting at the Lake over Christmas break just discussing our lives and we started talking about you as we usually do, and at that second a shooting star shot across the sky. We know it was you or God telling us that you are having such a great time in heaven. I have these visions of you sky diving and jumping off of the clouds, having the time of your life up there. All of the things we have learned about heaven you are getting to experience, which I think is the coolest but weirdest realization to come to. I am so thankful for the relationship we had with each other and more so the relationship we shared together with God. It brings me such joy to know that I’ll see you up there someday, and we can finally hang out again for eternity! I’ve been dwelling so much about school lately and a lot of feelings have been so pent up inside me, one of them being emptiness. I truly miss your friendship more than you could ever know. I have a hard time going home sometimes knowing that I’m not going to be able to see you. But God and our friends have been so amazing, I am filled with so many amazing memories of you and those are what get me through the day. You would love this; I’m getting a tattoo finally after talking about it for the past few years. It’s going to be for you, I couldn’t decide for the longest time what I wanted and I finally decided what to get and it’s going to be perfect! I could go on for hours writing you a letter because there are so many things I want and need to tell you but I know I’ll get to spill them to you eventually, well by then they won’t be important. I truely love and miss you, life is just not the same without you here.
Love You,
Chelsea

Why so long?
Sometimes it’s unbearable
Alone in this room
Thoughts consume my mind
This feeling of heartache is relentless
Still after all this time I question
There’s no way this could happen
Is it selfish I want you back?
Please come back
I know this life goes by like a blink of an eye
But that is too long to be away from you friend
Alone in this room
Thoughts consume my mind
This feeling of heartache is relentless
Still after all this time I question
There’s no way this could happen
Is it selfish I want you back?
Please come back
I know this life goes by like a blink of an eye
But that is too long to be away from you friend
Changes
Gravities Pull
Free falling off the top of a mountain,
The earth stood tranquil for a few short moments.
A feeling of peace surrounded me before the plunge began.
Plummeting through the layers of clouds.
Exhilaration takes over my body.
God’s creations flashing past my eyes,
Resembling a painted canvas of many colors.
Fear is rushed throughout the inside of me,
Making my heart beat out of sync.
I could feel the blood rushing to my head,
As if it was a thermometer about to burst.
Unable to focus as the wind burns my exposed skin.
The earth’s floor creeping rapidly towards my fragile body.
Seconds were ticking away faster and faster.
What should I do I need to decide.
Am I ready for the impact awaiting me or should I pull the shoot?
Free falling off the top of a mountain,
The earth stood tranquil for a few short moments.
A feeling of peace surrounded me before the plunge began.
Plummeting through the layers of clouds.
Exhilaration takes over my body.
God’s creations flashing past my eyes,
Resembling a painted canvas of many colors.
Fear is rushed throughout the inside of me,
Making my heart beat out of sync.
I could feel the blood rushing to my head,
As if it was a thermometer about to burst.
Unable to focus as the wind burns my exposed skin.
The earth’s floor creeping rapidly towards my fragile body.
Seconds were ticking away faster and faster.
What should I do I need to decide.
Am I ready for the impact awaiting me or should I pull the shoot?
Weightless
Free falling through the heavens
The world is but minuscule compared to this paradise
Peace overtakes my body
Tumbling through the layers of clouds.
Feeling free
God’s creations flash past my eyes,
Resembling a painted canvas of many colors.
The beauty rushes through my veins
Causing my heart to beat out of sync.
I could feel the air rushing over my skin
Making me weightless like a feather.
Indulging in this serenity
The earth’s floor creeps rapidly
Time was ticking
I need to stay, just for a few more moments
Keep those eyes closed, dreams don’t last forever

Footprints
On my way to the city, my mind drifting away into the music
My eye catches a glimpse of you out the window
I could be miles from home and you’re still around
The story of life keeps writing on with you in mind.
