"I am free!!" 8 year old me says as I escape the cage of blankets me and my best friend made. She chases after me, trying to get me back in the cage. "No fair! You can't escape the prison!" She says with frustration in her voice. "Yes I can! I just did!!" I say as I giggle.

I am now 17 almost 18. My birthday is tomorrow and I'm excited for what I have planned. It's 11 pm and I need to go bed since my birthday is tomorrow. But first I have to write something. I get a piece of paper out of my journal, I also get a pencil. I write my will, and a letter to my best friend. "There. Now I can sleep for the last time." I say getting into bed feeling the cold sheets against my warm body. I close my eyes, and slowly fall to my happy place.

Everything was a blur after that. I open my eyes to find myself on the roof, with my hair blowing in the wind. The cold of the night against my neck, sent a shiver down my spine. I look up at the the night sky, with millions of stars, sprinkling the black sky. I can't control my thoughts nor my body and I slowly stumble over to the edge without thinking. My body moves on it's own before I could react to what I was doing, I feel a weird sensation in my gut, like I'm falling. I realize what I had done but instead of a wave of panic, a wave of relief filled my body. "I am free.."
