"I saw you outside..." I say quietly. "Saw what?" She asks pretending nothing ever happened. "Get out." I say. "But, Jacob, I love you!" She says. "I said out!" I yell and she runs outside and to the motel. I walk to the balcony outside my bedroom. I grab an upside down flower pot and throw it over the ledge. I see something out of the corner of my eye. My dad's cigarettes and his lighter. I grab a cigarette and light it. I see the police drive up to my house. I put out the cigarette and walk downstairs. I open my door. "Excuse me sir. Are you Jacob Biersack?" The cop asks. I nod. "Pack up your things, since you're under the age of 18 and your parents aren't here, you're going to an orphanage." He says. "Okay..." I say and pack all my things. I grab all the hidden money in the house, adding up to $1,000. I grab the pack of cigarretes and the lighter and pack them in my bag. I walk outside with my two bags and sit n the cop car. We drive to the orphanage and I see Hazel there with another cop. I also see Justin with her, with his arm around her waist. A lady shows me my dorm room, it has three beds inside, so I guess I get two others in here. I sit on my bed and look around. I find a balcony and go stand outside. I have the pack and lighter in my pocket and light a cigarette and smoke. I hear the door open behind me. I hear footsteps walking towards me. "You're here too?" Hazel asks. I nod slowly, looking off into the distance. I didn't know that you smoked.." She says. "There's a lot of things about me that you don't know..." I say blowing smoke out of my mouth. The door opens again, but before anyone walks in, Hazel kisses me. Justin walks through the doorway. Hazel runs up to him and hugs him then kisses him. "So much for spending time by myself." I mumble. "Hey dude, can I have one?" Justin asks. "No." I say. I climb up to the ledge of the balcony. "Hazel, choose." I say. "What?" She asks. "Me, or him..?" I say sternly. "Why does this bad stuff always happen to me?!" She says. "I've had worse problems I say taking my jacket off showing my wrists. "Jacob....." She whispers. "I can't have a guy that hurts himself for attention.. I choose Justin." She says. I stand on the ledge of the balcony and face the road. I stretch my arms out to the sides and lean forward. I fall.
