When you left [COMPLETED]

~11~

I walk around without having any aim on where to go . I am in a park , a place where you can relax your thoughts by the melodious chirping of birds and nature . I stare at the orange and purple hues of the picturesque sky and suddenly remembered yesterday's incident .

FLASHBACK

I wear the flats the stylist gave to me and cough . Oh no , how can I have a sore throat at the last minute ?

"Stephanie sweetie , today's the day , the most important day ever . Its the finals ! Its almost you're turn , my dear . Come on , you can win this !" Mr Davidson surprises me by a back hug . He is always that one ethusiastic teacher who acts like he is only at the teenagers' age . I reply him with a nod as I don't want him to know about my sore throat .

I'm in trouble . Deep trouble , in fact .

"Now , lets welcome our pop princess , Stephanie Cooper !" Great . I can't escape as I'm pushed by a force that I don't know . All of a sudden , I see hundreds of eyes .staring at me . I gulp . Before I try to handle the situation , the music starts playing . I get the chance to adjust my voice before the singing part at the beginning starts .

Yes ! My voice is okay !

"You want to play , you want to stay , you wanna have it all - AHUK AHUK !" Death glares are seen at every single eye in the auditorium , and the music stops playing .

What in the world is happening ?

"I-I'm sorry , I-I'll do it a-again -"

"Thank you , Miss Stephanie . You may go to the backstage ," says Miss Samuels , frowning and shaking her head in astonishment . I walk out of the stage with my head face low in embarassment .

"Violet , please come up to the stage ," the host says . Violet Frandley , my rival , stands onstage .

"And for that , I announce Violet Frandley as the winner of this singing competition !" The words comes out of his mouth . Tears well down my eyes as I see the trophy that I've been dreaming for is being given to her . Suddenly , a girl hugs Violet .

"Vi , great job ! Gosh , you're much more talented than that Stephanie . She precisely has no talent ! She only brings shame to herself ." A moment later , the girl turns her head to my direction .

Allie .

She stares at me for a moment and continued , "Well , its true , she's so not talented ." They giggle while looking at me when I begin to cry as if like a baby animal have lost its mother . They roll their eyes and leave the auditorium .

FLASHBACK END

I stop at the middle of a bridge . Just below the bridge is a river that looks like the depth is too deep to know .

I smile . Finally , I found the place where I can do something , and no one will notice .

This ... is my Plan B .

I place my suicide note on the floor and climb the parapet . Now , both my legs and hands are on the parapet .

Everyone hates me . Mila left me because she is tired of being my friend . Clarice starts to bully me because she thinks I'm easy . Jake left me because he's tired of listening to my complaints . Allie left me because I'm a bad friend . Mom hits me because I'm a burden to her .

This is all my fault . Their lives are ruined because of me . I'm a burden . I shouldn't be in this world .

Thats it . I begin to do the countdown .

Five .

Four .

Three .

Two .

One .

"Goodbye , wo-"

"No !" My suicide attempt is interrupted by a voice . Someone pulls me onto the bridge floor .

"Miss , how can you - Stephanie ?!" that person asks . How does that person know my name ? Is he or she a stalker ? I turn around with a frown on my face to see the identity of the person .

"M-Michael ? W-what are you doing here ?" I panic , wiping my tears .

"For your information , Miss Stephanie , your eyes are so red now ."

"I know , but I don't care ."

"Come and sit ," he invites me to sit on a bench nearby . I sit , my head facing the floor .

"Tell me what happened ."

"I-I can't ! I don't know you that well ," I say , getting ready to run away . However , instinctly , he quicky grabs my wrist .

"Where do you think you're going ?"

"Let.Go.Of.Me."

"Until you tell me whats wrong ."

"Michael , just face the fact that you're a stranger to me !" Don't you get it ?!" I holler . Suddenly , a tear drops from my eye . He wipes my tear .

"Don't cry . I'm here for you ." I hear those words that I want to hear from anyone so badly come out from his mouth . I begin to cry unstoppably .

"It all started when someone I really love left . She's my babysitter , my friend , my life . But she betrayed me . A month ago , she went to her own hometown , never returning ever again . Suddenly , things turned for the worse . My ex-best friend humiliated me , my boyfriend cheated on me , my best friend hates me , I failed my exams , and my mom tortures me ." By then , I'm wiping my tears which well down at every moment .

"Everything's going to get better . Trust me , okay ?" he embraces me as he pats my back .

"Thank you ," I say , hugging him back tightly . His embrace is so warm and comfortable that I don't feel like letting it go .

"S-Stephanie ? I-I c-can't b-breathe ..." Oops . I reluctantly let go of the hug .

"Why did you hug me so tightly ? Like to feel my abs ?" he asks with a smirk plastered on his face .

I blush , "N-No ! Of course not !" He chuckles .

"Well then , goodbye , princess !" he grabs his bag and walks off .

I smile . Maybe theres someone from the 6 billion people in the world who loves me . However , without me noticing , someone is watching me ...
