Lexi was whispering to her best friend Reba. "Reba, do you know what Alex did?" "You are being too hard on her, don't you think?" "Reba! Who's side are you on?" "I'm on the side with who's right! I know Alex didn't try and break you too up! You probably forced her to!" "UGH! REBA! COME ON!!"  Lexi stormed off into the bathroom.

In the Bathroom  (Not an awkward part like you are thinking)

Lexi saw Alex putting on her makeup. "Hey Alex. How are you and Derek." "We are doing fine. Look, Lexi. I don't want to talk to you. You put me through something that wasn't my fault. Please leave me alone." Lexi pushed Alex into the wall. "Alex, you listen to me. You are NOT going to tell me what to do! You were the popular one in middle school. Now it's my turn. I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE." Lexi walked out of the bathroom and left Alex standing against the wall feeling drowsy. The next thing she remembered, was hitting her head on the sink and falling the the ground. 

At the Hospital

As the nurse walked in, Alex started remembering things again. "Now honey, all I'm going to do is ask you a couple of questions. If you don't want to answer them, just let me know. Some will be concerning your health, others will be concerning your life, and friends. Is that alright with you?"  "Yeah that's fine." 

"Okay, first question. Do you have friends at school?" 

"I only have 1. His name's Derek, and we are together right now."                                                                 "Does Derek push you around?"

"No, not at all."                                                                                                                                                            "Now, about your health."

"Do you have breathing problems, or loss of blood?"

"Well, it's kind of hard to tell you this. Can you just look at my wrists?"

The nurse looked at Alex's wrists. And sighed. "Alex, you can't be doing this to yourself. This could lead you to........death. Honey, I know life's hard. I used to cut as well. You can't just look at yourself as a cutting board. You're a person! Your skin is not paper."    "Thank you for asking me these questions ma'am. I think we're done now. Thanks for everything." 

In The Waiting Room

Derek was waiting to be able to come and see Alex. The nurse gave him the okay. "Alex! Oh my gosh, are you okay?"  "Yeah Derek, I'm fine. How come you didn't come sooner? It's been 3 days!!"  The real reason was because Derek was cheating on Alex with.....................................................LEXI. I know you probably saw that coming. "Alex, I'm sorry! School homework was piling up." "Derek, we're in the same class, and my mom collected my homework and there were only 3 pages." "Alex, I have to go. I will see you maybe tomorrow. I love you." "If you loved me you would show it. I know something's up. Now get out." 

At School

Alex had been Okayed by the hospital to go back to school. She had to meet with the counselors for a couple of weeks until they thought she was completely stable. Alex met up with Derek and started talking to him. "Hey Derek." "Hey Babe! I missed you." "Are you Okay? You seem different." "Nah Babe! I'm fine! As EVER! I just wanted to tell you that I love you." "I...I....."   It was hard for Alex to tell Derek that, because she knew something was up.

At Home

Alex thought she had messed up with Derek and was just about done with life. She knew what Derek was doing. He wanted her to die. Alex hated her life. She hated her curves, her ugliness. She thought she was the ugliest person alive. She hated herself, her hair, her personality! She was getting her broken glass ready to cut. She made a line on her left wrist. And it started bleeding. She started crying but she wouldn't stop making those lines. She cried herself to sleep that night. And in the morning she told her mom it was pen and her friend did it to her during class yesterday with Sharpie. 

At School

Alex walked into the hallway and saw Derek and Lexi together. Holding hands and hugging. Then Derek, turned and saw Alex. He ran after her. "Alex!! Wait!! It's not what it looks like!" "What it looks like, is you cheating on me! Derek, I'm done! Maybe you should of just broken up with me, instead of doing this to me! It's better than me finding out the hard way." Alex ran home crying.

 At Home

Alex promised herself that she wouldn't cut. But she knew she wasn't wanted. She got out her blades and slit her wrists. She went to bed bleeding that night. The next morning, she woke up in a hospital bed. With cloth wrapped around her wrists.

At the Hospital

And the same couselor sitting by her from last time. "Alex, Honey? It's Liza. Honey, what happened?" "Nothing, it's just....No! It's nothing." "Honey, you hesitated, so something horrible happened that nobody knew about. Is that true?" "How did you know?" "I talked to Derek." "Well, he cheated on me. And then, I just. That was my turning point when I was just done with life. And I still am done with life." "We have you on 24-7 supervision, honey. So you will be Okay." "I'm done with life, Liza! I told you already! When I get home, you will see. I will be in the hospital again 12 hours after I leave here. Just watch!!" 

 At Home (The Sad Ending)

Alex walked into the Kitchen. She looked for the bleach. She got a cup of milk. She knew that if she tried killing herself it wouldn't work. Her parents would come and send her to the hospital as soon as possible. But one more time wouldn't KILL anyone! So she found the bleach and drank it. In an INSTANT she was knocked out. Alex's parents didn't come to help her. They found her dead on the floor. 

THE END :'(
