For the next few days I just lay in bed. I didn't leave my room, I just stared at the ceiling and cried. Mum and Dad brought me meals but I hardly touched them. My life was just nothing for a while. I did nothing. I didn't go online or read or watch TV. I just continued to live and I hated every second of it.

"Gabriele, can you please just talk to us. We miss you."

"Go away Mum. I don't want to talk. I want him back."

"Well he can't come back. I'm sorry."

I lay there thinking about that for a while. He wasn't coming back. They only way to see him again would be to join him. I thought if all the ways I could get to him. Overdose was certainly an option but could easily fail. I could find some rope of something. No. I couldn't kill myself. But I just wanted to be with him. I could always slit my wrists. 

That's exactly what I did. I cut deeper and deeper and then the room began to spin. I couldn't continue. The blood was pouring from my arms. I was almost with him...

I woke up in a hospital, my parents sat at my feet, both of them crying. I still felt nothing. I looked at my wrists. They were bandaged up. I had failed. 

"Gabriele. What were you thinking?"

"You scared us, hon."

"I just needed to be with him. I missed him so much."
