Arielle's POV:
       "Liz, I gotta go," I spoke. I just have a feeling something bad happened to Mary.
        I walk out the door and to my car. I start it up and drive to Mary's house. I knocked on the door but it was open. Now I had chills and I was really concerned. Could she have forgotten to close it? Did someone break in? All the possibilities swirled through my head. I shouldn't have said that I have a girlfriend. We aren't even official yet. I shouldn't have tried to force myself to get over her.
        "Mary!" I called. No answer. Could she be sleeping? Did she die? God I hope the latter isn't true.
I searched the house from bottom to top. The only place I haven't looked... her room. I enter her room and I see lights on in the bathroom.
"Oh please, please, please please please please be alright," I mutter under my breath as I knock on the door. "Mary? It's me Elle, well you don't know me by that name, but it's Arielle, can you open the door?"
No response. Oh god. I shake the door knob and it's locked. I frantically searched the room for something to either knock the door in or unlock it. I found nothing so I resorted to my foot. I kicked the door in and I swear my soul left my body.
I fell onto my knees and clutched Mary's body searching for any sign of life. I feel her heartbeat. It's like she's frozen. No, her heart just stopped. Her body is cold to the touch. Tears fall from my eyes and I cry in vain. She's gone. The only person I ever loved is gone. I searched the bathroom to find out what she did it with. A bottle. I see papers addressed to people she cares about. I found my name. I read the paper and as I read it I cry harder.
"I'm sorry Mary, but I can't live a long life without you. I couldn't even imagine a world without you. Yet, here we are. Just wait a second. I'll be with you again soon," I whisper as if she could hear me.
I take the pills and swallow the rest of the bottle which was about eleven pills. I feel my vision growing blurry and dark. I finally get to see you again, my love.
