    away. I always knew that stupid rope would break when someone wanted to get to Terabithia. I always trusted Leslie that the rope was safe but I was right, I knew someone would be lost over a stupid rope. I don’t understand how I’m meant to feel when my one and only friend passed away over a stupid crossing to our safe place.
