I promised myself that I wouldn't attempt suicide again until the week after Christmas is over. Christmas is next week, and I'm still wanting to end it. I just don't know what to do anymore...
☆
A romance story about a girl who is waiting until after Christmas is over to kill herself so that she doesn't ruin the "Christmas season", but then, when buying a rope and supplies to start planning her next attempt, she bumps into a boy that shows her the true Christmas spirit of giving, and love.
4 kind of options:
1. He read her ("anonymous") blog and tracked her down intentionally to stop her
2. It was pure coincidence
3. He was buying a rope for the same reason
4. He already knows her in real life from somewhere else (same neighbourhood but not right next door, or from school or something) and can sense that something is not right.
Some dialogue (excerpt):
She shrugged, "Just doing some last minute Christmas shopping."
"... In a Hardware store?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Yes," she said, defensive, "my Dad wants a new spade 'cause the handle of his old one is rotting."
"And the rope?"
"I..." She trailed off, then firmly lifted her chin in a defiant fashion, "it's for something else."
Other notes:
• Talk about how she seems more cheerful, calm, has more "energy", and is more at peace as she has made her dedision, is resolved, and "knows" that all her suffering is going to be over soon - showing how people planning to commit suicide aren't always just the sad depressed ones skulking around crying all the time (though suicidal people can be this way as well, it depends on the individual and I'm not generalising)
• Possibly also have her planning to give away prized possessions as "Christmas gifts" as she prepares to let go
• 'He gazed at her, his mind working overtime even while his heart melted as he took in her sweet smile and soft blush... a smile which hid a suffering heart. Two weeks. He had two weeks to save her.'
