My legs shaped into a pretzel, my eyes dart around the empty meadow. It's always so peaceful here. I found this meadow three years ago when I was fifteen. I needed a place to go when times got bad. That is why I am here everyday, under the same old willow tree.

    I might as well introduce myself. My name is Amelia Davis. I am eighteen years old, and I hate myself. Ever since I turned twelve, everything went downhill. My Mum died when I was thirteen, my dad abuses me everyday, until I feel like dying. I have no friends, as everyone pretty much hates me.

    The Autumn leaves crunch under my navy blue toms, as I tie a rope to a high branch on the willow tree. I looked around at the different coloured leaves scattered across the ground. Tears streamed down my pale, sickly cheeks as I looked at the world one last time. I stepped onto a boulder near the tree, and counted to three. One...Should I really end my life? Two....No one will miss me anyways! I am a nobody! Three...I am about to step off the rock, when I hear a loud shout, and footsteps running through the colourful autumn leaves.
