All I remember seeing was blood. Everywhere. And Chad, lying on the floor, in horrible pain.
"Chad!" I screamed. Juliana ran in, terrified.
"Why have you done this to yourself?" She said.
"Because," he began. "I thought I was losing you."
"Well now," she began, sobbing. "I'm losing you." They hugged, both crying, just as I was. I called 911, and they were on their way.
There was a moment of nothing but sadness, and then Juliana spoke up.
"They say you'll never forget your first love, and because of that I, will never forget you." She said, which was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.
"The most important thing is, even if we're apart," Chad started, "I'll always be with you." After this, he left us. We just sat by him, crying. The paramedics arrived, and took him into the ambulance. His foster mom also arrived, and they went away. Juliana and I sat together, on the couch, going through old pictures of him.
"This was our first time together." She said, showing me the picture. We picked some of our favorites to put on a poster board. We checked his room for anything special, where we found a note at the edge of his bed. It was his suicide note. It read:
Mike and Juliana,
Thank you both everything. I will miss you dearly. You were both the best people I'd ever met.
Not only have I feared of losing you, Juliana, but I also am done with everything that's been going on. I've been depressed for a while, but I've been too afraid to say anything about it to anyone. I've been bullied horribly, whenever I leave my house alone. I couldn't take it anymore. I just couldn't. I'm sorry.
Next to this note is two things. A necklace; for Juliana. You've been my everything, and this is my thank you.
A golden watch; for Mike. Thank you, bud. You were the best guy I'd ever met. You understood me, and I thank you, again.
To everyone else: You were right. I'm weak. And because of you, look at what's happened. Is your joke still funny? Are you still laughing? Are you glad you pushed me around? Well, here you go. This is because of you.
Thank you again, Mike and Juliana. I'll miss you guys so much.
Love,
Chad
This was the saddest thing I'd ever read. I put on the watch, as some of my tears fell on it. Juliana put her necklace on, and we slowly walked away. I held his note, and walked down the stairs, to be greeted by Tigerlily, his dog.
"I'll take her, I'll gather food and everything. The foster parents didn't want a dog anyway." Juliana said.
"It's getting dark," I said. "I have to go. I'll meet you at your house tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll walk you home." She replied.
We headed home, and we didn't say much to each other. We just cried.
I got home, and was greeted happily by Josh. Juliana and I said our goodbyes.
Colleen came down as well, and I explained everything to them.
"I'm so sorry," Josh said. We talked a little longer, and I went off to bed.
I woke up hoping I had just had a horrible dream, but it was all true.
I checked the mail, as I do every morning, where I saw a letter from my mom. I opened it. She wanted custody.
