Giving Up

Not Pretty Enough

Girl: Hi.

Boy: Umm... hi.

Girl: I have to tell you something...

Boy: What?

Girl: I really like you. And I.. I think I'm falling in love with you.

Boy: Okay...

Girl: What do you mean "Okay"?

Boy: I mean okay, but don't like you like that.

Girl: Why not?

Boy: I can't tell you... maybe another time...

From then on, the girl kept asking the boy "Why not?" whoever she saw him, and her kept giving her the same answer of "I'll tell you later." Finally, the girl got fed up.

Girl: I'm tired of this! Tell me why you don't like me!

Boy Do you really want to know why?

Girl: Yes!

Boy: It's because you're not pretty enough! Okay!? What's the point of going out with someone when they're not pretty?

Girl: But... I...

Boy: Just shut up and leave me alone!

The boy left and the girl was sitting there alone, trying her heart out. The her cell phone started ringing.

Girl: Hello?

Mom: Sweetheart? I want you to go home, okay? I'll be home from work in a few hours.

Girl: Alright mom.

Mom: I love you.

Girl: I love you too mom.

Mom: Bye bye.

Girl: Bye.

The girl heads home and once she got there, she went in the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror.

Girl: I'm not pretty enough...

Two hours later, her Mom came home and heard the bath water running. She went upstairs to find the hallway flooded so she knocked on the bathroom door.

Mom: Honey? Are you alright?

She opened the door and was shocked at the sight. The bath was overflowing onto the floor and the water was tinted red. She walked over to see what was inside and screamed. There, lying in the bath, was her little girl, with cuts all over her face and wrists. Her mom backed away and was going to run to call the police when something caught her eye. Taped to the mirror was a note.

It read: "Am I pretty enough now?"
