She couldn’t believe it. She wouldn’t believe it.
Mary watched the television as it were showing the horrifying news.
“Today a mother found her son dead in his own room. The boy, Jimmy Farey, was apparently suffering from a sickness. It’s a special sickness that no one has found a cure to yet. Now the question is… Why didn’t Jimmy tell anyone about his sickness?”
Mary turned the television off. She couldn’t stand seeing more. Jimmy was dead. Her best friend was dead.

The last night, Mary had been on a visit at Jimmy’s place. Jimmy had called her and asked her to come over.
They had something to drink and watched a movie. They were having a great time.
Then, the clock turned one and Mary had to go home. But before she left, Jimmy told her some strange things.
“Mary, I want you to know… If I should pass away one day, I promise you I’ll return. You may not recognize me… But you’ll know it’s me when we meet”
She left in confusion. Why did he tell her that?

Now  she knew why. He just wanted to be with her one last time. He knew that he was going to die.
Mary started to cry. She feel on her knees and cried out his name. Again and again until she had no breath left.

The next couple of days nothing happen. Mary went to Jimmy’s burial ritual and cried all the though it. As she stood before his grave, she laid a rose and cried one last tear, before walking away. As she walks, she thinks about his last words to her.
“Jimmy… You know you can’t come back… You fool!” she yells out, then sighing.
“If just I had known…” She starts crying again as she remembers her true feelings for him. She wanted more then friendship. But she hadn’t told him. She was too shy.
But now it’s was too late. She hated herself for not doing something while she could.

A week after, Mary wasn’t doing any progress. She didn’t talk to anyone, not even her parents. Her parents tried to get her to psychologist but she didn’t want to go.
She stayed in a room, only coming out for food. No one could cheer her up.

But one day her parents called her. Still not wanting to talk to anybody she refused, but then something happened.
“But Mary! We found a kitty outside the door!”
This trigged something inside Mary. Like something she had lost just returned. She open the door to her room and hurried down to the front door.
And right there on their doorsteps, laid a basket with a kitten in it. It look up on Mary and meowed.
Mary sat down on her knees and carefully took the kitty into her arms. She looked on the basket and finds a little letter. She takes it and starts reading it.
“Please, whoever finds this kitten, take good care of it. I couldn’t. The name of the kitten is Jimmy and his is a cutie. Sighed the present owner”
Mary suddenly freezes. Slowly she looks at the kitten.
“J-Jimmy?” She starts to get tears in her eyes.
The kitten answers with a meow and a happy smile.
Mary hugs the kitten and starts crying. “Oh my god Jimmy… You came back! You held your promise… You came back”
Jimmy just purred. He had come back. He looked different, but he was still the same. He had come back to his best friend. And his love.
