It takes only one second to say hello, but forever to say goodbye.

The start of the end

The day started as any other day for Octavia, waking up by the sound of Vinyl's music. As any other morning Octavia went to her room to tell her to turn off the music, but this morning was different. When Octavia opened Vinyl's door to her room she saw Vinyl with eyes wide open, staring into nothing. "Vinyl?" said Octavia, are you okay? Vinyl didn't answer.

"Vinyl! Have you been up all night again to make music with your new bass cannon!?" Vinyl nodded and walked to her bed, and let herself fall into it immediately falling asleep. Octavia sighed and walked out of the room to get some breakfast.  The hours passed by, with Octavia doing what she does every day, eat cereal, go to the market to get food, practice on her cello, normally Vinyl would already be awake,  but this day she wasn't. When Octavia went to check on Vinyl, she saw her standing behind the bass cannon looking even worse then she looked in the morning. Octavia was shocked by what she saw, she went to the power outlet and pulled the plug out that was connected to the cannon, the sound stopped immediately. Vinyl turned around and screamed "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU!?" Octavia was scared and shocked by the sudden screaming of her friend. "Vinyl! You do this every day! You need to stop staying up all night and all day to make music on that terrible device, its tearing you apart!" "YOU ARE TEARING ME APART!!" said Vinyl. Without saying a word, Octavia left the room, but right before she exited she turned around and said, "If this happens one more time, i will destroy that terrible machine!" "You wouldn't dare!" said Vinyl. "I am done with you!" said Octavia out of blind anger, she left the room with a feeling of regret. The next morning Octavia woke up like normal, but not quite as normal as usually, "No loud music? This can't be right." When she entered Vinyl's room, there was a note on her bed saying, "Since you yesterday said you were done with me, I started thinking, I came to the conclusion we maybe grew apart to much, so thats why I am leaving. We had great times together that i will always remember, I will miss you." Octavia's heart sank to the bottom of her hooves when she finished reading the note. She broke down Crying in the middle of the room. Meanwhile Vinyl already walked out of Manehattan hoping to find somepony else. Days, Weeks, Months passed, she stayed at a motel going out on the streets everyday, hoping to find somepony who had the same interest as her, or somepony who she would become friends with. Five months passed, Vinyl lost all hope, she was sitting in her motel room, unlocked the door and sat on the couch holding a sharp knife. "This is it." she thought. "Only a few second pain, and it will all be over." the took the knife and slid her throat. Four days later, Octavia, who was still angry at herself and sad, heard the doorbell go, she stood up and walked to the door. When she opened she saw two police ponies standing there. "Good day ma'am, we have found a note of a pony called Vinyl Scratch, saying if this note was found, to give it to Octavia Melody, if that you?" "Yes, thats me" Octavia replied. "Ok, we found her body in a motel just outside of Manehattan, she committed suicide." Octavia felt a chilling cold feeling over her. "We're very sorry for the loss of your friend." The police ponies turned around and walked back to their car, driving off into the distance. "It, it can't be. No, what have I done?" Octavia thought. She closed the door behind her and sat down on the couch, she read the note. "Dear Octavia, if you read this, i have been found dead, i wanted to thank you for all the good times we had together, it isn't your fault, please don't feel sad for me. Yours always, Vinyl." Octavia sat there for hours. thinking about nothing and feeling nothing.
