My long time friend I knew since the fifth grade. His name was Jesse and he was my basketball mate. I known him for the longest of time. We would always hang out and went to many parties together. One of the honest people I met. I remember back in middle school, He had challenged me to a Basketball game and I would only agree if I could get his Chicago Bulls cap. I won and the score was 16-4 points. I was completely joking about the cap but he gave it to me any way. To this day I still have that cap. We would always play ball together and on the same team. Even when I moved to Houston, he was still a close friend to me. I came back and It was like I never left. The friendship was still there. The day before he died, he had asked me if I could hang out with him. I said no and he said "alright man, Ill see you whenever". The next day, I came home and I got a phone call from my ex. She told me that Jesse had got into a car accident and died in the hospital. I was in complete shock and whole week was unbelievable. I had wore the green bracelet to represent the friendship I had with him. I never took it off ever since then.
It relates to Edgar Allan Poe because he lost many people that meant a whole lot to him. I understood how that felt and I thought that would never happen to me. It had made me able to appreciate the people I have in my life because you do not know when they will leave.
