Her room was silent. No movement. No breathing. No nothing. Apart from the clock, making every second go by, making the day longer. Her still body lay on her messy bed, hair sprayed out everywhere, tears in her right eye, with a blade in her hand. She wasn't scared at all if her parents found her, lying there. They wouldn't do anything about her, would they? They never really care about her on a normal day. Why would they today? 

She was happy, though, that all of this had ended. That every mean word was out of her head. That she was free to do whatever she wanted without anyone judging her. She was happy. Not sad. She was happy that she was finally brave enough to do it, and that she had the courage too. 

Right now, the red liquid was oozing out of her wrist, her vein in the display. cut right open. The room was starting to smell funny like someone had just died.

 I guess your think that's gross and horrible. Ask yourself this, would you be brave enough to do this? Would you have the courage? I did not think so. She is one of the bravest girls you would ever meet in your whole entire life. 

And she didn't just do this to die because she wanted to. She did it because she wanted to get away from everything. To get away from her own life, and be free up there in heaven, to live a new happy life with no one to hurt her or break her down.

 In a few days, her teachers were starting to notice that she wasn't turning up to school. Her parent's hadn't gotten in touch with the school saying she was ill or something was wrong with her. The worst thing was, her parents saw her dead body, laying still along her unmade bed. Trust me, their faces were broken. They hadn't cried like that in a year!

 The worst thing was, she always thought they never cared about her. They did. They always did! Of course, they would. She's their daughter! "You should have told us" her mum sobbed while kneeling down next to her. "why didn't you say something?" her dad cried, between tears.

 The fact is, everyone around her did care about her, even the girls at school who hated her. When everyone found out the news at school about what she had done, they were all silent. They didn't sayanything. They were all ashamed of themselves. because they knew that they were part of the reason why she did this And it really hurt them. Even the girls who picked on her were crying. You never know how many people out there care about you.

 Just remember, you never know what people are going through. Just because they are smiling all the time doesn't mean that they're happy They could end up like her one day. And you will be sorry because you talked about doing it. Isn't it better to save someone's life than have a person slowly killing themselves around you without you even knowing?

 Maybe one day, someone around you will end up like her, maybe your best friend, or someone you hardly talk to. Please, don't let another person like her leave the world, because they're all amazing people who don't need to leave this world. Just a "how you doing?" day will change someone's mood incredibly, and you may never even know it. You could stop them from cutting their beautiful wrists later that night, and that's something to be proud of. 

Everyone has a reason to live, make others count.
