[ WP ] How to kill your best friend and get away with it .

`` Hey. You want to go get some Taco Bell and ice cream?'' 
 
 We load up in the truck and take off. It is always like this, and never like this. Over the years we have been on countless trips, totally enjoying each other's company. She never suspected today would be different. 
 
 I already know what she wants. She loves chicken tacos, but not the supreme kind. The sour cream is fine but the tomatoes are a total no-go. And basically any kind of ice cream as long as it is vanilla. Chocolate sometimes will give her a stomach ache. 
 
 We go to the park, one last time. We sit and talk. Mostly her listening and eating and me talking. I tell her about the first day we met, and how i remember how beautiful I thought she was. She smiles at me in that special way that tears my heart. It is a great day. The sun is shining, the temperature is cool, the grass is soft and green as we lay side by side. 
 
 It is a great day to die. 
 
 At last, the time has come, and with tears in my eyes, I explain to her what I am about to do, and why. She looks at me, even after hearing, with nothing but love in her eyes. I load her up and we go to the veterinarian's office one last time, before I take her back home to sleep forever in the hole I dug this morning as she watched under her favorite tree. 
 
 Her pain from cancer is almost over, and my pain from killing my best friend is about to begin. Goodbye. I will love you forever.
