I ran, my eyes dripping with tears as my heart ached. I kept running. I couldn't stop. I finally reached the house I was looking for, then burst through the door. "Hannah!" I screamed running upstairs, the sound of running water got closer and closer. I stepped into the bathroom and stared wide eyed. I dropped to my knees as water flooded my eyes and the floor. My white jeans now turning red. I examined the area seeing three empty pill bottles and a bloody razor blade. She definitely was going to make sure this killed her, and it did. I crawled over, the redness staining my hands. I lifted her from the water and onto the floor. I held her head in my hands, against my chest. "Please please be alive. Please." I cried out. I heard the door slam and then I heard running. Another person stepped into the bathroom. "No no no no no my baby girl! No!" Hannah's mom dropped beside me. "Sam what happened?!" she screamed. "I-I don't know.." I cried. Her mom jumped up and ran to a phone, where she called an ambulance. I sat there staring at her. Wondering, wondering what the heck happened. What made her do this. Why she did it. I glanced at her wrist and the site shocked me. Old and new scars everywhere on them. Then I looked at her left wrist in cuts was the word 'sorry'. I couldn't breathe. This had to be a dream. This is a dream. It has to be. This isn't real! This isn't! No way!

I woke up, screaming. Another nightmare. Here lately nightmares are the only thing been waking me up. I looked at the picture of Hannah's smiling face and gently smiled. I never knew such pain was real. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like this is real. I sometimes can't accept that she is dead. I actually tried something once, I regretted it though because I didn't want to end up dead the same way she did. Today I was finally going to go to her room, a place I have been many times but now im scared. I need to find clues. I got out of bed and got dressed, then headed to the house I would be visiting. Her mom greeted me and I went to Hannah's room. I walked in and almost cried, its exactly how I last seen it. I decided to check an obvious place she would leave something for me to find. She knew I would look there because that's where we kept all of our best friend things. I walked to her closet, searched for the black and silver box, then grabbed it. I took it over to her bed and unlocked it with the key on a necklace she had given to me when we were six. I dug through the papers, movie tickets, cards, receipts, necklaces, etc until I got to the bottom of the box. A letter that was folded in half with my name on it. I opened it and started reading:

Hi, Sam. I miss you! I don't know how long it took you to find this but im glad you did. Im really sorry, like really really sorry. I hope you have forgave me by now. If not please do. Listen you're my best friend in this entire world. Sam, I love you so much. Well actually now that im dead I might as well say it, I was in love with you. That's reason number 1, I was in love with someone that would never love me back. No your name wasnt on my suicide note cause, honestly, I would've done this a long time ago if it want for you.(my suicide note can be found in the top drawer of my dresser.) It just got to be so much. I am really sorry. To find the next few reasons find the other notes from the clues I give you. We always wanted to go on an adventure, right? Here it is. Find out why I am dead. Well I love you, good bye..... Forever.

(1st clue, the place we planned the adventures that we never went on.)

By the time I was done reading the note I was in tears. I was one of the reasons she did this? I suck! I decided to walk over to the dresser and open the top drawer. I found a piece of paper and picked it up. I read it: Hey, whomever is reading this. I want to say, sorry. Its just everything got too much and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I wish I couldve worked up enough courage to talk to you guys about this but I couldn't. I just wish I couldve hung in there a little longer for mom and Sam. But no need in missing me. Im fine. How many times did you guys fall for that one? Yeah, sorry. But goodbye.... Forever.....

That's when my eyes opened, for real this time. She is actually dead. Time to start that adventure, I guess. I walked out of the house, leaving the suicide note on Hannah's bed. I went out of the backyard and started walking. I walked and walked into the deep woods. I contused until I seen it. I looked up and smiled. Destination one. Complete.
