Hello. First of all, this is my first story that I've actually..sorta finished (well for now it's finished but who knows? I might continue this) and it goes in two parts and it was an English assignment (well..part two is)
Anyways that's all.
Read on.
Also possible trigger warning: implied suicide.

PART I: ELIANA
SUNDAY
The silence was deafening. I was sitting in my room staring at the piece of paper in front of me, reading through what I wrote. It was short but hopefully they would understand.
I’m so, so sorry it ended like this. It’s not your fault. It’s no one’s.
I’ve just...had these thoughts..it never occurred to me until now but
No one cares.
No one cares at all.
~ Eliana
It was the cold honest truth. No one cares. But at the same time. No one noticed either. It’s my own fault. I could tell them. But I won’t. I won’t burden them with my problems.
“Ellie!” Loud footsteps echoed through the halls, I quickly stuffed the paper in my pocket.
“Ellie.” My older sister, Lea poked her head through the door “It’s dinner time.”
I nodded and followed her down the stairs.
...
I sat back in my room staring at the rope in my hands. Was I really going to do this? Did I really want to do this? Was I ready to leave them all behind?
No.
I quickly put the rope in my bottom drawer and went to bed.
Not today.

MONDAY
“I’ll see you tomorrow, right?” We stopped in front of my house. I turned my head to look at Elliot.
I gave him a smile. It felt forced. “Of course.” I said.
“Okay. Well..see you tomorrow.” He said. Before he could turn to leave I threw my arms around him, hugging him tightly.
“What? Oh. Okay.” He patted my back awkwardly.
“I’m sorry. Hormones. That time.” I joked after I let go of him.
He didn’t look very convinced. “Okay..well..see you tomorrow.” He said slowly, before walking to his own house which was only five houses away.
No.
Not today
...
TUESDAY
I going to do it. I will do it. Nobody cared. No one will. It will be quick. No one will miss you. No one at all. Mum and Dad have other kids to care about. Anna, Elliot, James and Mina certainly won’t miss you. No one at all.
