"once a girl named Wednesday Ember Fall.
Wednesday as in the week
Ember as in glowing coal in a dying fire
Fall as in the season but better known Autumn.
She was 16 years of age and from a small town, Contin in the highlands of Scotland" she reads herself her suicide note once more

"not good enough" she mumbles. She crumbles up the letter and tosses it in the stream of the flower river right across from her house.

She pulls from her pocket and old but yet shinny blade. Just one of those small ones.
She holds in her hand
"I'm not dead yet" she cuts. Just another cut that will scar another sin.

She stops just after three.
She sits on the soft green, watching her arm bleed red.

'When will her angel save her and when will her stars fall to help her though it all' she things to herself

She stands. She needs to hold her ground, she's broken but she still holds her heart.

She's not dead yet. She'll make it.

*Wednesday Ember Fall's POV*

I stand from the grass, Holding my blade.
my arm is dripping blood as I walk back across the street to my house.
I live in the middle of no where, the highlands of Scotland. Just a very small town of about 700 people. Everyone in this town lives a distance but the shops are close and everyone hangs out there to go shopping and meet up with people.

I stride slowly and quietly to the washroom, careful not to wake my dad sleeping on the couch.
I shut the door, locking myself in the loo.
I wash my arm in the sink. Once the blood is gone I dry my arm and wrap bandage around it.

I leave the washroom, going to my bedroom, also locking my door again. I notice my phone sitting on my bed, I hate 4 miss calls from my bestfriends

I pick up my phone and sit on my bed. I dial her back. "hey Wednesday!" her soft American accent speaks. She moved here to Scotland from Minnesota, we've been friends since 3rd grade. We met in school, she's my only friend.

"yeah?" I ask

"I had enough with my mum, let's like run away or something" she suggests
Angelina is my bestfriend ever, I love her like a sister.

"I would but my dad would get pissed and hurt me-"

"how? We would be gone. Our saved money from the coffee shop would get us far, let's go to California like we always wanted to. You especially need to get away from you dad" she explains

"... What about school?" I ask

"we have only 4 weeks left till summer, we can just skip the rest" she says

".. Okay" I agree

"really?" she questions

"yes" I say

"alright, pack your things and meet in town" she says

-later-

Me and Angelina sit down together in a plane seat "I can't believe we're doing this?" I mumble

"I know. Are you happy though?" she ask
I nod. "good, maybe we'll get lucky and meet Johnnie Guilbert and Bryan Stars, since they do live in Cali" she says.
I know who BryanStars is cause I honestly love him a lot, but I don't watch Johnnie Guilbert, I've only seen him in times in Bryan's videos but I nod once again.

I'm nervous, this is my first time in America.
I look over at Angelina, she has dark brown, almost black long hair and light brown eyes. She's wearing a Ghost Town T-Shirt, one of her favourite bands.
