Dakota's POV

I stood on top of the train station. It's where I come when I'm super frustrated with things. Right now, it's myself. I've been lying to my friends, my best friends. Harley, Lily, Adam, Alex, Carson, and Will. I love them all so much, and it hurts to lie. But I have to.

For their safety. 

I let out a frustrated grumble. Stupid fate. Why? What did I do to deserve this punishment. Kicking a stone of the just-barely-lethal building, waiting for the ping when it would hit the ground. I frown, not hearing it. I step closer to edge of the station, almost to the edge. I kick another stone, and wait. This time, I heard a soft curse, just barely loud enough for me to hear. I chew my lip, debating whether or not I should call out. I take a step closer, practically falling off. Gazing up at the sky, I see the moon, and smile at it's beauty.

That's the last thing I see before I feel a harsh push, and my body tumbling to the ground.

Okay folks, this just in. We're live, on Blueville You, bringing you the latest. Bob?

Well Janet, we just heard a horrible tale. Dakota Manon, a friend, daughter, and overall joy to be around, has committed suicide last night. She was found at the old train station, after telling her mom she was going on a cool-down walk. We have an exclusive interview with Mrs. Manon.

"I-I didn't know that she was going to do this. She, she was a h-h-happy girl. At least I-I thought so."

And that's the new folks. We're very sorry to friends and family of the Dakota, and we pray for you. Tune in later today, at 12 pm.

Hey guys...

I know you're probably really mad at me. I'm mad at myself. I'm sorry about the other version of this, and changing the plot again! I'm really sorry!

 I'm sorry about the other version of this, and changing the plot again! I'm really sorry!

I hope this gif of Joey can help ease your anger. But, I really wasn't feeling both plot lines. That doesn't mean I'm dropping the story, I may continue it and change it up a bit, but I really feel excited for this story. I also feel like the title fits this story more. In time you will understand. The water's edge actually has relevance to this story. Lol. Anyways...this story will have mostly the same cast, and some of the same characters. But it's going to be good. AND FINISHED.

I pinky promise
