Same.

Mother.

Cassidy Thompson. The top student in my class. Blonde, blue eyes, skinny. She's perfect. For every girl, for every guy.

There are people where only guys like them;

There are people where only girls like them;

But Cassidy is just someone everyone likes. Strong, kind, everyday she puts on a smile, no one knows what she's thinking. They just know her as the cheerful student in the class.

Cut back to me. Alone, Red head, chubby cheeks, glasses with brown eyes. There's nothing special about me, I was just that one quiet kid that draws all the time. Not a guy likes me, not a girl likes me.

At least I have friends, Jason Rayman and Martha Kenny, but even they rarely talk to me now..

I used to think life couldn't be that bad. I'm already at my worst. What's worse than this? What's worse than utter loneliness while you look at how happy, how cheerful people around you are, while you become the wall in a party, the air among the crowds.

I never existed. Life couldn't be any worst, right?

I got a call. From my dad, my mom and dad are divorced, so I live with my mom. It's not those TV show arguing divorce, it was quite calm. My mom and dad agreed that things weren't really working out so they both wanted to split until they can get shit together.

My dad visits my mom and me, and I thought things were happy. I guess I was wrong.

So wrong.

I got a call from my dad. His voice shaken. I was at school when it happened. My dad, with tears in his voice, spoke

"hey.. Your mom will be on the news. So you have to stay strong, OK? People will talk bad about you, but you have to stay strong."

I tried to ask what happened. Dad won't say.

Dad picked me up from school today. I begged him to tell me what happened to my mom. He started crying whole driving, which isn't really safe.

My mom got into drugs. She got so drugged and drunk, that she went to party at a rooftop with her friends. She danced like she never had.. She danced.. Until she jumped. Willingly.

She didn't survive the jump.

My mom was the most happy person I know, even life found a way to break her mentally.

I wish you were still here. I love you, mom.
