Junior's best friend dies in a tragic accident from "summary" of The absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie
Junior's best friend Rowdy was the toughest kid on the rez. He was always ready to fight, always ready to protect Junior from the bullies. They were inseparable, like brothers. They shared everything, from secrets to dreams. But one day, everything changed. Rowdy's father was drunk and angry, driving too fast on a dangerous road. The car crashed, flipping over and over until it landed in a twisted heap. Rowdy's father survived, but Rowdy didn't. He was gone, just like that. Junior was devastated. He couldn't believe that his best friend was gone forever. The pain was unbearable, like a knife twisting in his heart. Junior couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. He felt lost, like a ship without a compass. Rowdy's absence was like a hole in his life, a void that could never be filled. He missed their jokes, their laughter, their adventures. He missed Rowdy's tough love, his loyalty, his strength. Junior felt alone, adrift in a sea of grief. He couldn't imagine a world without Rowdy by his side. The rez mourned Rowdy's death. The community came together to grieve, to remember, to honor his memory. But for Junior, the pain was too raw, too deep. He couldn't find solace in the rituals, the prayers, the ceremonies. He couldn't make sense of the senseless tragedy that had taken his best friend away. Junior's heart was heavy with sorrow, with regret, with guilt. He wished he could have done something, anything, to save Rowdy. But it was too late. Rowdy was gone, and Junior was left to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. In the days that followed, Junior tried to make sense of his loss. He clung to memories of Rowdy, holding them close like precious treasures. He talked to Rowdy in his mind, telling him all the things he wished he had said when he had the chance. Junior tried to find meaning in the tragedy, to find a way to honor Rowdy's memory. But the pain lingered, a constant ache in his heart. Junior knew that he would never be the same without Rowdy by his side. And so he vowed to live his life in a way that would make Rowdy proud, to carry his friend's spirit with him wherever he went.
