SHAWNS POV
Dear you,
If you're currently reading this then you've gone into my left pocket and found this piece of paper: More importantly, I'm dead. I'm not sure how but I am and now you're responsible that this letter is put in the hands of those most important.
You're probably thinking why I would do this and I've got my reasons. Just none for you to know.
When the police come to the scene and ask you what you saw and if there's anything they should know, do not give them this letter. It may hurt the people I care...cared about.
If you're a Pickering resident, then finding said people, won't be difficult. Firstly my name is Shawn Mendes. I'm 16 years old and have chosen to die this way so stop shaking and keep reading. I need you to take this to my family. Karen, Emmanuel, and Aaliyah Mendes are the first people who need to see this. Since it's now supposedly in their hands, mom, dad, Aaliyah, this isn't your fault that this happened. It was my decision you couldn't have possibly known what was happening in my head and life. It's okay, don't cry just please accept it and try and move on. Dad, I know I was a pain and a burden to you but I need you to believe one thing for me. When I got suspended from school for some "activities", you need to know that it wasn't me it was-
"Shawn!" It was mom calling me. My pen faltered and fell to the floor. I ran my hands through my hair and furiously wiped my eyes dry.
"Yeah!"
"Hunny," she opened the door as I stuffed the paper into my desk. "It's okay now."
My breathing quickened.
"He's gone."
I let my shoulders say down and felt all the tenseness leave my body. She same and pulled me up into a hug.
"I'm sorry, mom." I felt my voice crack.
"Sh.." She held me tighter. "He's gone now. You'll be okay."
And there we stood. In each other's embrace. Rejoicing over the lifting of the burden better known as my dad.
But more importantly we stood as strangers. Her my mother, and I someone she never knew.
SORRY ITS SHORT JUST FOR EFFECT. IM SICK SO A LITTLE TIRED BUT NO EXCUSES. I STILL HOPE IT WAS GOOD FOR YOU GUYS xx
