You come home form school one day ,You've had yet another horrible day.
Youre just ready to give up .
So you go to your room
close the door
and take out the suicide note you've written and rewritten over and over and over.
You take out those razor blades ,and cut for the very last time.
You grab that bottle of pills and take them all.
laying down ,holding the letter to your chest
you close your eyes for the very last time
a few hours later ,your little brother knocks on your door to tell you that dinners ready
you don't anwer,
so he walks in.
All he sees is you laying on the bed ,so he thinks your asleep.
He tells your mum this
your mum goes too your room to wake you up.
she notices something odd
she grabs the paper in your hand an reads It.
sobbing ,she tries to wake you up
shes screming our name
your brother is so confused.
Runs to go tell your dad that
"Mummy is crying and sissy wont wake up "
your dad runs into your room
he looks at your mum ,crying
holding the letter to her chest,sitting next to your lifeless body.
it hits him.
Whats going on?
and he screams
He screams and throws something onto the wall.
and then, falling to his knees he starts to cry.
Your mum crawls over to him
and they sit their holding each other ,crying.
The next day thiers an announcement.
The principle tells everyone about your suicide.
It taks a few seconds to sink in and once It does
everyone goes silent .
They all blame themselves for what happened.
Your teachers think that they were too hard on you,
those popular girls, they think of all the things the said to you.
That boy that used to tease you and call you names ,he cant help but hate himself for never telling you how beautiful you really are.
Your ex boyfriend ,the one that you told everything too, that broke up with you
he cant handle it ,He breaks down and starts crying and runs out the door.
Your friends sit there and wonder how they could never see that anything was wrong, wishing they could have helped you before it was too late .
And your bestfriend?
shes in shock.
She cant believe it.
She knew what you were going through ,but she never thought I would get that bad ...........
Bad enough for you to end it all.
She cant cry ,she cant feel anything.
She stands up,walks out of the classroom
and just sinks to the floor.
Shaking and screaming but no tears come out.
Its a few days latter and your little brother still doesn't know what happened
hes to young
your parents just said that you died
it hurts him,a lot.
You were his big sister ,you were surposed to always be their for him.
Your bestfrined ,she stays stong during the entre survice
but as soon as they start to lower the casket into the ground
she just loses it.
She cries and cries and doesn't stop for days.
Its three years later ,
The whole school talks to a counselor
Your teachers?
all quit their job
Your ex boyfriend?
doesn't know how to love anymore and just sleeps with girls .
Your friends?
all go into depression,
Your bestfriend?
She tries to kill herself, she didn't succeed like you did ,but she tried
Your brother
He finally found out about your death .He self harms ,he cries at night ,He does exactly what you did for years leading up to you suicide.
Your parents?
Their marriage fell apart .Your dad became a workaholic to distract himself from your death
Your mum?
got diagnosed with depression and just lays in bed all day .
Their life's changed as you changed yours.
