I met her at a birthday party one night. She seemed like a happy and bubbly person, so happy and full of life. I guessed wrong... she was depressed and dying on the inside. She wanted to be gone... The reason she was like this is because over the summer her sister took her own life.. To be honest when I first heard this I almost cried. This beautiful and young girl wanted to end everything and be in heaven with her sister. Now lets get to the point of all of this... saving her... I made it my mission to make her happy any way I could. The night of the party we we're all sitting it the hotel room floor chatting and playing truth or dare like normal dumb teens. I was on the bed playing on my phone when I look over and see Lily (the girl) laying on the couch wrapped in a Batman blanket, watching netflix on her phone. I crawled over and tried to make her laugh, I failed. So i sat in the floor looking at her beautiful brown eyes. I kept asking "Are you okay?" ,""What's wrong". She wouldn't respond just blew me off. Now I know what you're thinking, why didn't you just leave her alone. I didn't leave because I could see the hurt in her eyes, trust me I've had that look before. Her body was telling me to leave but her eyes were begging me to stay and comfort her. No I didn't want to date her or anything like that, yes she was beautiful and all but I honestly just wanted to be there for her nothing more. I kept poking and pinching her and doing the puppy dog face and begging her to tell me what was wrong. All she did was smack me in the face with her phone or smack me upside the head. God I love her. Finally I snatched her phone out of her hand and told her if she didn't tell me what she wasn't getting the phone back. She just layed in a ball and whined saying "Tyler, give it back" and doing the puppy dog face.I finally gave it back because come on a beautiful girl doing the puppy dog face? Can't say no to that.I just pulled her close and watched "Skins" with her on her phone the rest of the night. Then after that I've never seen her face to face again. But I'll be damned if I don't get to see her again. We still text all the time and I really want to help her..I don't know, I need to realize I can't help everyone. Everyone keeps saying "Oh you just like her" or "Dude you just want her" no it's not fucking that. Yes she's beautiful and amazing but I honestly just want to be there for her. I want to help, I want someone to look at me and say "Because of you I didn't give up."
