Hi guys. Grace here. This is my first fanfic, so I'm honestly really nervous. This is a whole new experience to me. But be honest. Don't be afraid to be blunt with me. Also, I was inspired to write this story because my best friend tried to commit suicide. She didn't get that far. I was able to stop her and get help, but if you're struggling with depression, please get help. There are so many people who care. Contact someone who can help. I'll even try to help you. Just don't push people away. And if you have a friend suffering with depression, TELL SOMEONE. they might be mad for a little while but in the long run it's worth their life. Anyways, here you go. enjoy!

A girl sat in the woods, her back to a tree. Her long brown hair was tied up in a knot on the top of her head. Her dark brown eyes were bloodshot from so much crying. That's what she'd been doing for the past three days: crying, crying, and more crying.
Even now, tears rolled down her face and her shoulders shook with sobs.
"I hate it." She whispered to herself. "I hate it." She repeated, her voice getting louder. " I hate it!" She yelled. "I HATE IT!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, not caring who heard.
What did she hate? She didn't even quite know herself. She hated a lot of things. She hated spiders. She hated pickles. She hated bullies. But most of all, she hated death.
She pulled her knees up to her chest, her sobs getting louder. In her fifteen years of life, she had never felt this broken, this hurt.
The shrill noise of a cell phone ringing brought her from her world of pain. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and saw the name "Mell😘" flash across the screen. Mell was one of her best friends who lived in New Jersey. They had met online through Instagram and had not yet met each other in person.
The girl answered the call and heard a cheery voice start talking.
"Grace, oh my gosh! I've missed you! How are you?"
The girl, now identified as Grace, let out a strangled sob. "She killed herself, Mell."
Mell was silent for a moment. "Who did?"
Grace just cried. Mell began to say something, but Grace cut her off.
"You know what, I can't do this. I can't talk about it right now. I'm sorry." She quickly hung up the phone before Mell could say anymore. Mell called several more times, but Grace declined.
Her tears fell steadily as she opened her Instagram and logged into her fan account for the Dolan twins. (A.n: I actually have one. Go follow me. @gracie_dolan)
She quickly uploaded a blank photo with the caption: "I'm so sorry, guys. I have to take a break from all this. My best friend killed herself a few days ago. I just can't handle the pain. I need a few weeks to pull myself together. I love you all so much."
Grace logged and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. She took a deep breath and stared at the sun setting through the trees.
"You'll be okay," she whispered to herself.
Her phone chimed and a message from Mell popped up. "I know you're hurting, but I'm always here for you. Please don't push me away. I'll give you your space, but just remember that I'm always right here. I love you so much, bup💕 Focus on the twins. They always make you happy."
Another tear trickled down Grace's face. Mell was amazing, but she just needed to be alone right now.
Just as Mell suggested, Grace turned her mind to the Dolan twins. She'd been a huge fan of theirs for almost three years and they basically ruled her works. She lived and breathed Dolan. Ethan and Grayson were both so adorable and sweet, and they could always make Grace feel better. But a simple video wouldn't fix how broken she felt right now.
"I wish they were here to hug me," Grace murmured under her breath.
And with that thought, she drifted off to sleep, her back against a tree.
