The name is Liam Matthew James Stephens, the 17 year old transgender son of Jordan and Jade Stephens.
Liam's POV: I climb on top of the barrier, looking down at the nearly 40ft drop, reminiscing on every 'good memory' I had. Mam and Dad have been arguing non-stop, I got sexually assualted in the boys bathroom at school, threatened with violence by my teachers, my grandad recently passed away.
"Come on, just do it you pussy! Just jump!" The devil on my left shoulder tells me in a invasive tone. "Nobody loves you, you're worthless!"
"No, don't listen to him, Liam! You are worthy to somebody out there, like mam and dad, just get down off the barrier and head back home!" The angel on the opposite shoulder begs me, making me confused about what to do; do I listen to one or the other?"Both of you just shut up!" I tell myself, gulping at the height of the bridge. Is it worth it?!
"Baby, listen to me." I hear my mam's voice behind me in a comforting tone. "This isn't the answer, you know that... Don't you dare go any closer to that edge, there's so many things to live for. I would miss you tremendously, your dad would miss you tremendously, nana would miss you tremendously, Auntie Perrie and Leigh-Anne would both miss you tremendously, everyone would miss you tremendously so don't do this."
"Mam, just leave me alone, please. I'm doing you all a favour by ending my own life." I tell her, blankly completely numb from all the pain I've suffered in. "There's no point trying to stop me, now. I'm a bloody burden to everyone in the damn family!"
"You are no way near a burden to anyone in this family, you are loved by so many people, I love you and don't want to see my baby take his own life." She tells me, her voice full of emotion. "I'm not burying my son so please just come down from the barrier.""No... just please leave me alone." I yell, beginning to cry hysterically. "There's no fucking point!"
"I'm not leaving you to just kill yourself." She tells me, grabbing hold of my shirt. "You jump and I go with you" I try to wiggle out of her grasp but her tight grip keeps me stuck there.
"MAM, JUST FUCK OFF!" I scream, exhausted of arguing and so bloody ready to jump. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME TAKE THE BIGGEST DISSAPOINTMENT AWAY FROM THIS FAMILY!"
"I'm not letting go of you!" She tells me, assertively. "Scream at me all you want, Liam but I am never letting you go." I finally give in, I hop down from the barrier and just fall into mam's embrace."Let it all out, baby. Mama's right here and she's never letting you go." She comforts me, hugging me tightly. "I'm here..." We stay like that til she brings me to a bench and sits me down.
"Talk to me, darling. What's going on that made you want to do that?" She tells me in a soft tone.
I hiccup from crying and finally admit to her what happened:
(Liam is describing what is happens)
Liam's POV: Last week of my first term at college, it's been great so far! I've made loads of friends and my courses are so interesting and fun. Right now I'm in my final class of today which is Media Studies.
"Alright, peeps, next term we'll be beginning our practical work so over the Christmas break, I want to hear your ideas for your new television show!" My teacher, Mr Taylor enthusiastically tells us all. I raise my hand, desperate to use the bathroom.
"Yes, Liam? Yes you may head to the bathroom."As I enter the boys bathroom, I can just feel loads of eyes on me. I am a trans man and let's just say that the kids here accept and support the LGBTQIA+ and a few of my friends are in it, but there's also the homophobic and transphobic students who just call us derogatory terms and really nasty stuff.
"Oi pussy, the girls bathroom is next door." One of the boys in there tells me, pointing to the door.
"The college has allowed me to use the boys bathroom as I'm not a girl." I assure them, not looking at them. "Just keep yourself to yourself and I'll do the same, okay?" I try to enter one of the stalls when one of the boys grabs me and pushes me up against the wall.
"You'll never be a boy, you'll always just be a pathetic little pussy of a girl." He tells me, aggressively before sexually assualting and forcing me into having sexual intercourse with him.Back to present: Mam wipes my tears as I tell her about the traumatising experience that happened 2 weeks ago.
"That's the main reason why I just tried to take my life, mam. That horrible boy did that to me and it has given me such bad trauma, that's the reason I've been avoiding dad!" I exclaim, cuddling into her chest.
"Baby, you should have told somebody immediately. That could've life-threatening." She replies, in a firm but soft voice.
"But he threatened to kill me, you, dad and the rest of our family if I do so I just opted to keeping it to myself!" I tell her, honestly.
"Nobody has the right to do anything to you without your consent, nobody has the right to do anything to you that makes you uncomfortable. It's a basic human right consent. If this situation isn't dealt with the first day back, I'll be having words with that bloody headmaster to get that kid expelled from that damn college!" She exclaims, protectively, kissing my forehead.
