I closed my eyes and listened to the wind whistling and the rain poured down. I could feel as each raindrop had fallen upon my face. I was standing at the edge of a cliff, the same cliff I had always gone to whenever I needed to be alone, but this time it would be my last...I was gonna jump.

Why did I want to jump? That's an easy question.

To everyone on the outside I have the perfect life. I have the perfect family, 2 loving parents, an amazing older brother to look up to and a cute younger sister. I'm popular in school, with a loving boyfriend and the greatest friends anyone could ask for. I have perfect grades in all of my classes and I'm dating the captain of the football team. I have the perfect life, why would someone like me want to end my life.

Well... on the inside, it's a completely different story.

My family hates me. My parents favor my older brother and little sister more than me. No matter what I do or any achievement I make, I can never compare to them. The only attention I ever receive from my parents is then hitting me for being such a disappointment I turned out to be. The only person in my family who really cared for me was my older brother.

But my school life was even worse than my home life...

My amazing friend group, they hated me. They were just using me for money and popularity. They also would spread a new rumor about me every week.

Lastly, my boyfriend. He was the captain of the football team. He was popular and everyone loved him. Before we started dating I had rejected him many times. I knew he was no good, I knew in the end he would break my heart or more then it was already broken. The only reason I started dating him was because my parents wanted me too. They were close business partners with his family, and on the outside he was the perfect guy. But I think if they could have had it their way he should have dated their favorite child.

I did everything to please everyone around me but it never seemed to be enough. So that's why I'm here standing on the edge of the cliff ready to end all of my pain and suffering.

Before i left the house to come here i had written a letter letting everyone know why i wanted to kill myself. But it was mostly for my brother.

With 1 step that's all it would take.I would fall down to the end of my life. I wanted to fall to my death because it just seems so peaceful. To just fall down with the wind blowing in your face and your body feeling light as a feather. But at this point in time my whole body was drenched which made me feel a little heavier than a feather, but it was still the sensation i had craved most of my life

And that's what I did...I took the step that was supposed to have ended my life...

I was falling and I was falling fast to the human eye, but as I was falling it felt like time was frozen.

As I was falling everything went black...was I dead? no i couldn't be i didn't feel my body hit the ground and that's when i saw light again. It wasn't the light people describe when they die this was different. It was more like...Sunlight?

~Braydens POV~ (Amaras brother)

I went into Amara's bedroom to see how she was doing. Last night mom and dad were way too hard on her for no reason. They yelled at her because she had gotten into a fight with that little bitch of a boyfriend. She doesn't even like him; she just dates him to make them happy. I don't know why though they treat her like garbage for no good reason.

She is probably the best child they had. She was smarter than me and Alice combined.

When I entered her room she wasn't there which was weird to me. She never leaves her room. I saw a folded piece of paper on her desk addressed to everyone.

As I read the letter tears started to fall from my eyes. She was going to kill herself, or she had already done it. I that moment my hatred for everyone grew tremendously, they had killed the one person in my life I had actually loved.

I pulled out my phone and called the police telling them to go and search for and try to stop her before it's too late.

At this point my parents had come into the room to see what was wrong. I showed them the note and none of them seemed to be sad about it. Their own daughter and sister were going to kill themselves because of them and they weren't even that fazed more happy than anything.

"You guys should be disappointed in yourself. Your own daughter is going to kill herself because of you and the only emotion you can feel is happiness.'' I said looking at them with my tear stained face. I spoke in a low voice even though i wanted to scream at them off the top of my lungs but i don't know how stable i could keep my voice.

"Today not only have you lost a daughter but a son too. I'm gonna share this letter with the police and the news. You guys will go to jail for what you have done." I said as my parents' face turned to shock. They knew if this letter gets out to the public they will be ruined.

"You wouldn't do that to your own parents. Well lose everything" my father said desperately trying to persuade me not to share this with anyone.

"I lost everything, Amara was the only person i cared about and you had gone and killed her. Why couldn't you just love her...why... what had she done so wrong. She did everything to make you guys happy. She studied for hours just to meet your standards, she dated a guy she didn't love just because you guys wanted her too, she never asked for anything but for you guys to just love and except her '' i said, my parents couldn't make eye contact with me at this point. They know what they did and they are only now realizing just how cruel they were to her.

The letter mentioned how much pain and suffering she went through, and you realize just how strong she was to be able to smile everyday for 16 years through all of this. But the worst part is in the letter she apologized. She apologized saying that she was sorry she wasn't good enough and that she failed.

I later invited all of her 'friends' and her 'boyfriend' over to show them the note. Once they had all finished reading it they cried. They too had realized what hell they had put her through.

But what's sad about this all... they only realized how cruel they were once they had pushed her too far she... killed herself.
