Why?

Chapter 19

Welcome to the last chapter of 'Why?' Sooooo, If you're still reading this... welcome to the last day of your misery!! Now lets get this over with.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack's POV

'I haven't seen Marie all day! Is she still mad at me for what happened?' Lost in my thoughts I aimlessly wander the hallways. Just when I was about to take another step, I felt something under my foot. 'Huh? Wait...... is that?' 

"MARIE?!?! What happened? Are you ok???" I knelled down to pick up Marie from the ground.Her eyes where shut, tears stains dwelled on her face, and she looked exhausted. Not only that, but she was covered with scars and bruises. 'She's out cold. ARGH, I going to kill whoever did this to her!'  I picked Marie up, hoisted her on my back, and made my way to the school's infirmary. When we go there I carefully set Marie down on one of the beds. The nurse was gone since school had ended for the day, so I tended to her wounds myself. 

Marie's POV

I woke up with a throbbing headache. I saw Jack sitting in a chair next to the bed I was on. His head was hanging low and I didn't want to bother him, so I didn't say anything. 'The sun was already setting, was it really that late? My teacher must be wondering where I was all day since I never skip class. Oh well, I'll just wright a fake sick note.'  I looked down at my arms to see a badly done bandage wrapping. 'My wounds are bandaged?.... Did Jack do this?'

"Ah.. You're awake. How are you feeling?" I looked up at Jack. He seemed calmer than usual, maybe he's tired. I must be tired too, because I keep thinking of how cute he looks right now.

"I-I'm fine.." Memories of what happened flooded my head. My eyes started to water, I hugged myself to try to bear with it, but I couldn't keep it in anymore. "I'm not fine, Jack," The tears flowed and I couldn't stop them. No matter how hard I tried..... no matter hoe much I wanted Jack not to see me like this, there was nothing I could do to stop them. I buried my face in the sheets and tried to sob quietly. Suddenly I felt Jack bringing my head towards his chest, he was warm... and he tried to comfort me.

"It's ok..... let it all out. I'm here for you." That's when I couldn't hide it anymore. I hugged Jack tightly and sobbed my heart out.

"He-he tri-cked m-me, J-Ja-ck. Wh-why? Wh-hy can't I-I ju-st st-to-p fe-eeling?" My voice was shaky. It was hard to talk while all the tears where coming out.

"Because, Marie.... You're human. That's just who we are." 

---------------------------------------------the next day-------------------------------------------------

(Warning! Thoughts of suicide! Please read my ending note.)

 'I can't take it anymore.. I can't live here anymore...'

"Dear Jack, 
I'm sorry things turned out this way. I couldn't take the teasing any longer. And after what Connor did to me.... I can't live like this. You've been a great friend, and you've changed my life tremendously... I don't know if I would've lasted this long if you weren't here. Anyways, I leave my house to you.. It's the only thing I own anyways. I wish you luck in life, I hope you'll find happiness. I'll be gone after school, so you won't have to suffer anymore..

Well..... Goodbye,

Marie

I remembered the note I left in his locker. 'He won't even care if I'm gone... would he?' I looked down from the school rooftop, it's a big drop. 'Big enough to kill me.' The school bell rang, it was time. I took off my shoes and placed them on the ground so everyone knew that I choose to do this to myself. I stood at the edge, facing the back of the school.'Well... Goodb-'
