Hello, my name is Sarah. I'm 19 and I would like to tell you about my best friend, Karen...

Me and Karen are the best friends in existence, we're like sisters. We like the same things and have the same humor. When she was sad, I'd cheer her up. She did the same for me. But, well... It doesn't work every time, oh why did she do it...

It happened 9 years ago, it was summer and me and Karen were playing Hide And Seek in the woods. I was the one seeking, Karen was the one hiding. I thought that it would be easy to find her, I mean, since her hair was colored in the colors of the rainbow, plus black, I don't know her real hair color but anyways. I had been looking for her for what felt like hours but I couldn't find her. ''Karen! Karen! I give up!'', I called out, hoping she'd come out from where she was hiding. But she didn't, instead she yelled ''Try! It's fun!''. I kept looking for her but I still couldn't find her. I leaned back against a tree and yelled Please come out, I give up!. I heard a giggle and she said Up. What on earth was that supposed to mean? I looked up and saw that she was sitting on a branch in the tree. She smiled and said You found me and climbed down. Playing Hide And Seek with her was a bit tricky sometimes, but it was still fun. We decided to go to her house, we were both hungry. But, when we got to her white house, she suddenly stopped and looked at me I... I forgot... Um... We're moving out..., she said, she sounded nervous, like that wasn't exactly what it was... I knew she'd never lie to me, but this was a little... Weird... Oh... When...?, I asked her. Tomorrow..., she said and looked at her feet. Oh..., I said and frowned So... We can't meet tomorrow?, I asked. Karen shook her head and gave me a hug. I... I'm gonna miss you Sarah..., she said. I'm gonna miss you too Karen..., I said and hugged back. I waved as she walked into the white house, after she had closed the door I slowly began to walk home. We didn't live that far away from each other, so I could walk home without any problem. When I got home, no one was there. I knew my mom was at her job, but my dad should be home, which he wasn't. I walked to the kitchen and made myself a cheese sandwich and walked to my room.

Later that night, when I was laying in bed, I saw something outside my window. It... It looked like some sort of rainbow colored rope. I got up and walked over to the window, I blinked a couple of times, and the rope disappeared. I was probably just tired, I got back in bed and closed my eyes and fell asleep. I dreamed about Karen, she was so happy, she told me that she weren't gonna move out! We smiled and we were so happy, then I saw the rainbow rope hanging from a tree. Karen didn't seem to notice it at all, but I could see it clearly.

When I woke up, I sighed. It was a dream... She is still gonna move out... And I can't meet her... I got dressed and decided to go to her house anyways. When I got there I saw it, the rope, the rainbow rope. It was hanging from the door handle on Karen's house. I knocked on the door, trying to avoid the rope. After a while the door opened, it wasn't Karen, it wasn't her mom or dad, it was someone else, a boy. ''Hello? Who are you?'', he asked me when he saw me. Um... I-I'm Sarah, I... My friend lives here and..., I began. The boy just shook his head Nope, I live here, he said and closed the door. I gasped and took a step back when I saw that the rope was gone. I looked around, but I couldn't see it. I shook my head, it's just my imagination, it doesn't exist... I decided to go to the woods where me and Karen was playing Hide And Seek yesterday. When I got there, I heard a giggle, but it didn't sound happy... It... It sounded nervous or scared. ''Karen? I-is that you?'', I asked. ... S-Sarah...?, she replied. It was Karen!!! ''Y-yes! It's me! Where are you?!'', I called out, oh I was s happy! I'm playing H-Hide And Seek, I hide, you seek, she said. She can't be serious! ''Please! Karen come out!'', I called out. RULES ARE RULES!!!, her voice didn't sound as sweet as it usually does... ''O-okay! I-I'll seek...'', I said. I began looking for her, but every now and then I'd see the rainbow rope and walk the other way. I couldn't find her, I remembered where she was last time and began looking up in the trees. P-please hurry up..., she said, it sounded like she was crying. I got worried, and kept looking for her. Then, I saw her rainbow hair behind some bushes. I ran over to the bushes Karen!, I yelled, but it wasn't her, it was the rope. U-u-up..., she said. I looked up, and I saw her, with the rainbow rope wrapped around her belly. K-Karen..., I said, what was she doing...? I'm s-sorry I lied to you... I-I wasn't gonna move out..., she said and tears started rolling down her cheeks. Karen, i-it's okay, please c-come down from there, I said, trying my best to sound calm. She shook her head. It's not okay... I lied to you, about my parents, about me... About everything... A-aren't you wondering why you keep seeing t-this rope?, she said. H-how did you know...?, I asked. B-because... I made sure you would see it... D-do you know what this is...?, she asked. I got a feeling that I didn't want to know, but at the same time, I wanted to know. N-no, what is it...?, I asked. This... This is me... This is the truth about me... This... This is the end of my story..., she said. The end of her story?! Was she going to hang herself?!?! NO! That can't happen!! ''Karen! Don't!!'', I yelled. ''Sarah... Don't worry. Even though this is the end of my story, it's the beginning of my other story... My true story...'', she said and... And jumped... She suddenly stopped, the rope tightened around her belly and... And... I couldn't watch, I covered my eyes and cried. Karen..., I whispered to myself. Sarah..., I heard her voice, I took my hands away from my eyes and I saw her, hanging with the rope around her belly, she was looking at me, smiling.
