Chapter 10- Suicide
The last bell rang indicating that we could all go home. I skipped the class after lunch which was choir but I went to the other 2 classes. My last class was study hall.
When the bell rang, I ran to my car as fast as possibly so I could avoid Corban, Bree, and anyone else who wanted to talk to me. I ran through the courtyard and through the main hall but unfortunately, I was seen by Bree.
"Zoe Payton!" She yelled as I ran through the main hall.
I continues running and she started to chase me. I tried to open the door but sadly, I opened the wrong door. Half of the doors where locked on one side and the other side where unlocked. I tried to run to the other doors but Bree grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards her.
"I need to talk to you alone." She said with our faces 2 inches apart. "Come with me."
She pulled me into the women's restroom in the cafeteria. Not many people went into this bathroom after school because it was hidden behind a wall.
"What do you want?" I asked as she pushed me against a wall.
"I just want to say a few things to you." She smiled.
"Why are you being so mean to me?!"
She covered my mouth with her hand.
"You left me when I needed you Zoe." I struggled to escape when she pressed me against the wall. "When you told me that you where bi, I was so happy because I loved you."
I had told her I was bi before the school year started. I liked both guys and girls. I was confused the entire summer but I eventually figured out that I was bi at the end of the summer.
She took her hand of my mouth and put her arms against both sides of my body.
"Let me go!" I yelled in an angry tone.
"You wanna know why I wont let you go? You wanna know why I have been so depressed about you leaving me?"
"Tell me."
"My parents divorced. My mom started doing drugs and hitting me. My dad moved away to Florida so I had nowhere to go. I needed you but you left me for Corban. I wanted to tell you how I felt but I waited too long."
"I'm sorry!" Her eyes looked up and down my body.
"You're so beautiful Zoe. It's a shame that a beautiful body is wasted on such an asshole." She gave me an evil smile before letting me go.
"Fuck you!" I said while leaving the restroom.
Before I opened the door, Bree tackled me to the ground.
"What are you doing!?" I yelled as she put herself on top of me.
"You wish you could fuck me!" She laughed while she slapped my face.
"Get off me!" I yelled as I rolled over so I want on top of her. "Don't mess with me." I said loudly while punching her in the face.
"What the hell!" She yelled as I got off of her.
"Stop blaming me for everything." I said while opening the door.
I left the bathroom and ran to my car in the parking lot. Luckily no one noticed me.

When I got home I went on to Bree's Facebook to see if she posted anything new. I went to her account and I almost lost it when I saw what she just posted.
It was a video titles "Goodbye".
I immediately clicked on the video with no hesitation.
"Hello everyone, Bree Hartman hear and I just wanted to say goodbye before I go. As you all should know by now, I'm in love with Zoe Payton but she loves Corban Mathews. She left me when I needed her. My mom is abusing me and my dad left but she wasn't there for me. I was about to tell her how I felt about her but she was gone before I could. She replaced me with her boyfriend. Life is too hard for me. Nobody cares about me so what's the point?" She chuckled to herself. "Goodbye everyone. Goodbye Zoe." She held up a bottle of pills before ending the video.
I called Corban as fast as possible.
"What do you want?" He said in an angry tone.
"Corban, look on Bree's about to kill herself! She posted a video on Facebook. Go to her house now, I'll text you the address."
Before he could say anything, I hung up and texted him her address.
I rushed to my car as fast as possible and quickly drove to Bree's house. She lived very close to the school so it didn't take too long for me to get to her house.
She forgot to lock her door so I was able to barge into her house. I ran up the stairs into her room where I saw her passed out on her floor.
"Bree!!!" I yelled as I went to her body.
"Oh my god!" I heard Corban yell as he entered her room.
"Call to police!" I yelled to Corban as I shook Bree's body.
"Bree! Bree please wake up!" I continued to shake her.
I looked around and saw an empty bottle of pills lying next to her bed.
"Bree!" I started to cry really loud. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
I collapsed to the ground and cried my eyes out.
"It's all my fault!" I yelled to myself.
"No it's not!" Corban yelled as he came next to me.
I could already hear sirens in the distance.
"I should have been there for her when she needed me." More tears escaped from my eyes.
I heard the door open so me and Corban stood up and stepped to the side. Cops came into her room and looked at her body. Paramedics came in as well and checked her pulls.
"Still breathing." I heard one of them say.
"Thank god" I said while hugging Corban.
They put her body on a stretcher and placed her inside of the ambulance.
"I would assume that you guys are going to meet her at the hospital?" A cop asked us before we left.
"Yes." Corban said.
