For those of you wondering who Maddie is...
I thought Maddie was just a regular girl with a face.
But later on in life..I realized that she happened to be a not so r regular girl and her face could light up my world. She wasn't just my best friend. She was my secret-keeper, my wingman, my go-to-girl, but mostly..She was my sister. We met back in Elementary school. She was in third grade. I was in fifth. Before I knew it; I had a friend. I had made a friend in a school full of people who hated my guts. We grew from being complete strangers to bestfriends. We we're insepreble. It was just me and my best friend against the world. Time went by. We were so close; people thought it would be funny to call us 'lesbian lovers'. We didn't care; Hell, we thought it was hilarious and it fit us both. So being the smartasses we were; we got bracelets engraved with "____ is my lesbian lover." By the time she was in sixth grade, she got this boyfriend. And I was so happy for her. Why? Because her boyfriend was my guy-bestfriend's little brother. Her and him..Were the cutest couple. But you know how young love goes. It goes right down the drain. Everyone loved Maddie; she was a great person to be around. She never held grudges. Which is why when her and her boyfriend broke up; after grieving like any normal girl would, she forgave him just that quick. I on the other hand didn't get my first serious boyfriend until highschool. I was a freshman, she was a seventh grader, my boyfriend at the time; a sophmore. One day; Me and her and a couple of other kids, (Jordan, Sean, Mason, and Myki), were walking to the store. Me being the errogant dumbfuhck I was at the time just started walking out into the middle of the road. I would have gotten hit by a passing car if Maddie hadn't of grabbed my arm and jerked me back. First time she saved my life. After that; her new nickname was Jesus. Blah Blah Blah we lived life like any teenagers would for about a year. (in this time period she got another boyfriend) Then; my boyfriend broke up with me for one of my friend. NOT MADDIE. But another friend. I was head over heels for this guy. And when he broke up with me...I fell apart. I didn't look at myself in the mirror the same way anymore. I had an eating disorder. Around this time was the first time I ever thought about self harm. First time I tried it as well. Jordan..Well..He fought my ex-boyfriend which happened to be my best friend. And As for Maddie...She stayed with me. After watching me damage my self physically and emotionally...She sat me down and told me I was killing myself. And she wasn't going to let me leave her. I got kinda better.
Second time she saved my life
A year later...August 2nd 2011. My world was shattered..
She was murdered. My best friend was murdered. She was stabbed...Multiple times.Someplace where she felt safe. My entire world (Maddie) was gone. Someone took her away from me. Someone took a best friend, a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a cousin...And a girlfriend. She had her entire life ahead of her. And someone took it from her. My life hasn't ever been the same...I wanted to die. I went into deep depression. I developed insomnia. I was scared to sleep because of the nightmares I would have.
I wasn't there to save her life.
but..
I lived with my ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend (Mason and Myki) for a while. I lived with them right until they had their son Oliver which was December 29th, 2011.
I got a boyfriend who I'm still with. December 28th 2011
And now; I'm living with my two best guy friends Jordan and Sean,
I've gotten my life striaghtened out..Sort of. I still have nightmares. I still scream and cry. Sometiems I just want to lay down and die. But; I'm about to graduate. I have a job. I have a boyfriend. I have a house. I'm doing good.
Just today; I went to the courtdate. I was in the same room as the person that took her away from me. I wanted to scream with everything I had at him. He took her life, and ruined mine. And I couldn't do anything about him. But I know my bestfried was fighting until her last minute. He has scars from her fingernails digging into her skin. She was a fighter.
I love you Maddie. I miss you. You're doing just fine up there aren't you?c:
Maddison Rhian Nelson was the biggest, strongest woman I know. She was a fighter. She was an...Inspiration. She made a huge impact in my life. She's the reason I'm alive today.
Who is Maddie?
She's my sister.
