Prologue:
SUICIDE.... It seemed like the only way out of this hell whole I call my life. I mean sure some of u think I'm stupid or mental for wanting to die at such a young age, but if u were in my shoes and living my crap life, you'd want to die as well.
My names Ruby green, I'm 17 years old and if you haven't already guessed it, I'm suicidal. For the past 4 years I've wanted to end my shit life.
Ever since I could remember my life has been a shit whole; My mum left me and my dad when I was only 3 to fend for ourselves, I never knew why but for some reason I've always felt like it was somehow my fault that she left. My dad beats me all the time, Ive never tried to stop it because i don't blame him. I've always been teased and beaten up for being different by the kids at my school. And not to mention my abusive ex boyfriend.
I live in a small, old house in LA with my dad, I'm not rich like pretty much everyone else in LA and me and my dad have to work at least 2 jobs each just to cover our rent and to have enough money for food.
I have two best friends one named Kiella; She's got natural brown hair but recently died it blonde and beautiful brown/green eyes , she's absolutely gorgeous and could easily be part of the popular crowd but chooses not to because she to kind and hates what they stand for. And my other friends name is Finn; he's got natural light brown hair and amazing brown/green eyes, him and Kiella have been dating for three years and are so cute together.
I have natural brown hair as well but ever since I turned 12 have constantly died it bright red and I have brown eyes. I'm not like your average girl; I hate wearing dresses, skirts and really short shorts that most girls wear and usually have their arses hanging out (can u say skank!!). I prefer skinny jeans, tights, shorts and I mainly just wear guy shirts because I find them way more comfortable than most girl shirts, So basically u could say I'm some what of a tomboy.
So in case your wondering right now I am currently lying in a bed at a 'special' hospital, it's basically a hospital that they send people who; try to kill themselves, cut themselves, are mental or are sent here by their parents because they are thinking about killing or harming themselves.
My dad sent me here after my latest attempt at suicide, he tells people it's because he wants me to get help but I know its really so he can just get rid of me for a while and spend his money on beer instead of things for me.
And yes I said my latest attempt because I have tried before, on the 21st of every fifth month since I was 14 I have attempted suicide but unfortunately it never works, I don't know why but for some reason the big guy (god) doesn't want me to join him up there, I think it's because he doesn't like me but my best friends tell me it's because he has something big planned for me down here.
My friends know I'm suicidal but they haven't yet figured out that I do it on a certain date yet so I can still try without someone stopping me. And before you ask NO, I do not do it for attention like most people these days I really want to die.
At the hospital I don't have a roommate and I thank god for that. I just hate people, I don't know why but people I don't know just bother me and make me want to punch them in the face, and that's why I only have two friends. The hospital is nothing like the mental hospitals you see in movies, it's plain, boring, the activities are stupid and the nurses treat us like dumb little 2 year olds. One nurse pissed me of so bad that I punched her in the face, it was very rewarding but as a result I had to spend an extra month at this place.
The only thing that keeps me sane is my friends that visit pretty much all the time and my drawing, I don't take it seriously but it keeps me entertained while I'm in here.
But luckily I'm getting released today and I can finally go home, start my senior year at high school, graduate and than leave this hell whole and start a new life away from my dad and these stupid high schoolers.
'Knock knock' "what do you want" i hissed at whoever was at the door "I’m busy". "Um Ruby your dads here to get you are you ready?" the nurse asked wearily, "yer yer I’m coming" i told her as she walked out of my room.
i walked out of the room to find my dad and my best friend Kiella waiting for me, Kiella has a massive smile on her face where ass my dad couldn't look more bored. Kiella runs up and pulls me into one of her bone crushing bear hugs saying "omg omg omg omg ahhh I missed u soooo much", "hahaha um Kiella i saw you just yesterday" i chuckled, "so yesterday was like forever ago man" she replied jokingly. Hahaha man I love this chick.
“So ruby how about we get u out of here and go get a hot chocolate?” Kiella asked. “Ohh you know me so well ki” I replied. “Hah u knows it” she joked adding a wink.
We walked out of the hospital and me and Kiella walked to her car to go get hot chocolate whilst my dad walked off to his car to probably go get drunk (again).
The drive was short and soon Kiella, Finn and I were all sitting out side of our favourite café drinking hot chocolates and catching up. We were there for a good 2 hours before Finn had to go home leaving Kiella and I to talk about what subjects were taking for senior year and discuss our theories on how the popular kids are going to torture us this year.
1 hour later we were walking the streets of LA and making our way back to Kiella’s car when I ‘literally’ ran into a guy causing me to lose my balance and stumble backwards. I got up and glared at the guy who just had just knocked me over, I was about to yell at him before he cut me off saying “oh shit sorry I didn’t see u there, I was in a hurry”. “yer no kidding, oh and I’m fine by the way” I hissed at him.
He looked at me about to speak before he closed his mouth and stood there staring at me with one of the corners of his lips curling upwards, he was beginning to creep me out so I figured it was time to leave, “um right….. ok well were gonna go now so watch were your going next time alright” I said awkwardly and started walking away.
But as i was walking to kiella's car i couldn't stop thinking about him. He had long/short dark brown hair with amazing brown eyes and his smile, oh man his smile was amazing.
omg ruby snap out of it what are you thinking, that guy just ran into you and knocked u over and besides your never gonna see him again so just get him out of you head.
Grr as much as i would hate to admit it the voice in my head was right, i neede to stop thinking about that guy, whoever he was..............
