A Separate Peace

Entry 1 ~ It happened so fast, it’s hard for me  to remember what I’ve saw or seen. Gene and I were standing at top that limb, ready to jump together. I was standing out near the end of the limb while Gene was near the trunk. Just when I was ready to jump, the limp bounced, making me loose my balance and causing me to fall on to the bank below. Apparently my leg hit some rocks by the bank which caused me to break my leg. I can’t say what I remember…. But I do remember hearing the sound of water being splashed, like someone jumped into the river. For some reason I can’t skate the feeling that Gene jounced the limb to cause me to fall….

Entry 2 ~ Today Gene visited me in the hospital. He looks worse than me. I told him about my feelings and he jumped at almost every word  I said. I said that I’m not going to accuse someone until I know all the answers. Gene looked sad and gloomed.

Entry 3 ~ I wonder why Gene came to my house only to leave. It was a pleasant surprise to have seen him again after I left Devon. He came in talking about “jouncing the limb” and how he wanted me to fall. It was very upsetting and I told him to stop. It was the first time I ever threaten someone else’s live. I don’t think that I have ever felt so confused and rejected before.  Maybe it was just that the words were too hard for me to bear. But there is no way that my best friend would have tried to kill me.

Entry  4 ~ I called Gene today, just to clear things up about his visit with me. To make sure that he was okay. I was glad to hear that he was al’right and asked about his Devon life without me. As I expected, it was boring. He wasn’t doing any sports, he was managing a club. I finally told Gene that now I can’t do sports he has to do them for me. When I said that I felt like that there was some tension released between us, but that could have been my imagination.

Entry 5~ Gene, I know that the school has changed. I just don’t want to admit to the change. I don’t want to admit that there is a war going on, between two nations and between us. You are my best friend and going to war is my dream… please understand that I know the school has not changed.

I got rejected from the Military.

Entry 6~ Just found out that Gene was going to enlist. Too frustrated to write at the moment.

Entry 7 ~ Leper left. He was accepted into the ski troops. Good man, he should be fine, after all he’s doing what he loves to do.  It is a sign that soon everyone else will going Leper and I will be left.

Entry 8 ~ I haven’t been writing because I have been busy with the winter carnival.

Entry 9~ It is hard to say what I believe to be true. What was true is now wrong, what was wrong is now true. I am confused. I surpass the thought that my best friend tried to spark a war between us long enough. I can no longer deny what is right in front of me, no longer tell myself lies… even with  all that I couldn’t take the truth. How much is it to ask, to just go out on to the battlefield with your best pal right there beside you?
