  She was ready to go. She couldn't go any longer. Her soft hair blew behind her as she stood on the edge of the building. Her white, long, flowing dress blew back behind her. She looks at the ground a hundred feet below her. She looked back as she remembers what made her do this.

FLASHBACK

  "You are worthless!"
  She looked up at her mother and father, who were glaring down at her. Tears were at the corner of her eyes, but she didn't let them fall.
  "Can you not do a single thing right?"
  It was a daily routine, her messing up and her parents getting angry. She hated the fact she couldn't do anything but disappoint. She got up and ran to her room, locking the door. She collapsed on the floor and started crying silently. She hated herself. She pushed people away, so now she has no friends. Her parents yelled at her because she was a burden. She had scars, and always wanted to cry. She decided the world would be better off without her.

FLASHBACK END

As she looked back at the ground below, she smiled as tears streamed down her face. She turned and said her final words.
  "This is for the best."
  With that, she leaned back and fell. All that could be heard was a crunch, then silence. She was discovered the next day with a smile on her face.
