I was sitting above earth. I don't really know how to describe it. It was like I was in this limbo between heaven and earth. I sighed and looked down at my body laying on that stupid pink bed. I was waiting for someone to come home and find my body. I really hoped it wasn't Sarah, my little sister. That would probably scar her, seeing her dead sister. I heard a voice behind me.
"Why did you do it?" it asked.

I let out another sigh, not even bothering to turn around, "I don't know, I shouldn't have."

I was second guessing my decision to end my life, things probably would have gotten better right? I could have told someone about what had happen and he would have been arrested right?

I should have told someone, anyone, maybe then I wouldn't be dead.

"What's your name?" the voiced asked again. This time I turned around. It was a girl that looked about 14 or 15, about my age. She had that same translucent look as me.

"Katie," I said, "my name was Katie."

She smiled at me, "I'm Rebecca, it's nice to meet you Katie."

I looked at her,"am I dead?" I asked.

"Yes. I'm afraid you are." Rebecca responded sadly. She moved closer to me and touched my arm, "I'm sorry," she said.

"Why aren't I in heaven or something?" I asked tired of the weird limbo state that I was in.

"You will be. Soon. You just need to help your family now." Rebecca told me softly. She seemed to actually feel bad for me. I wonder if she knew what had happened.

I sighed again and looked down at my body.

I hope my mom came home soon.

I remembered how this had started.

Flashback.

It was my first day of high school. I couldn't believe how many people were here. My best friend Diana grabbed onto my arm. "OH MY GOD KATIE!" she whisper-screamed into my ear, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE ARE FINALLY STARTING HIGH SCHOOL! THIS IS GOING TO BE, LIKE, THE BEST FOUR YEARS EVER!"

"Sure, Diana, whatever. Ugh, why are there so many people!? I feel like I'm drowning." I responded

Needless to say I wasn't quite as excited to begin, "the best four years of my life." Ha. If that was really how high school was there wouldn't be so many alcoholics in the world. I am a firm believer that high school is the epitome of all things evil. It was satan come to earth in the form of textbooks, cafeteria food, and popular kids.

"Come on Katie. Can't you at least act excited? For me?" Diana gave me her puppy dog eyes.

"Alright! fine. I'll be happy about walking straight into hell." I grumbled back.

We reached the doors of the large stone building and as soon as I walked in I promptly walked into a wall. At least I thought it was a wall. The wall put its hands on both of my arms to steady me. Ok, not a wall. I looked up, my face bright red with embarrassment. The wall turned out to be a boy. Around 16 or 17 by the looks of him. "Sorry," I mumbled trying to walk away. Hi gripped on my arms tightened and he smiled at me, "Oh no don't apologize, I'm the one that got to meet the beautiful girl, I should be thanking you." His eyes were shamelessly scanning my body. He was really making me uncomfortable. "Thanks," I mumbled again and tried to leave, but his arms tightened even more.
"JAKE!" a group of guys yelled. He winked at me and let go of my arms, "I'll see you around I guess," he said walking away.

Jake. The boy who ruined my life.

End of flashback.

---------------------------------------------

I ran my fingers through my hair. I watched my house and saw the old tan Volvo pull up into the driveway. That's my mom. Oh God, I shouldn't have done this. They are going to be so crushed. Why did I do this? I ruined everything. I watched reluctantly as my mom opened the trunk of the car. She bent down to get some groceries and the trunk dropped down and hit her. She looked annoyed and pushed the trunk back up and grabbed the rest of the groceries. I almost smiled, I was always telling her to get that fixed. One day she was going to get a concussion or something.

Guess it's too late for that now.

My mom walked up to the front door and unlocked it. She hit it with her hip to open it and walked in. "KATIE? HONEY, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE GROCERIES!" my mom called up the stairs. I knew nobody would respond. "Katie!?" she yelled again. Oh no, she is walking up the stairs. No no no I'm sorry mommy I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry.
"Katie, sweetie are you in here?" my mom questioned as she open the door to my room.
She walked over to what she thought was my sleeping form. "Katie? Katie wake up," she shook me softly. I rolled over and she saw my blue lips. "Katie? KATIE!? BABY WAKE UP!" she was becoming hysterical. She looked around and saw the empty orange bottles. "Oh God. No. No. Come on Katie wake UP!" she demanded, tears running down her face. She fumbled around in her pockets, pulling out her phone, "Hello? Yes, this is Janet Fadrin. I think my daughter tried to kill herself. "
Oh no mommy. I did more than try.
