The Cliff (Eminem)

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or so they say.

Madeleine POV

•••••••••••••••••••••

I breath in sharply as my eyes fall apon a photo of my ex boyfriend.

He was the longest boyfriend I ever had. Tears build up in my eyes as I stare at his brown hair and green eyes. I never really loved him, but he was in fact the best thing that had ever happened to me.

We had been together for about 8 months until he cheated. I laugh dryly remembering his foolish excuses.

I believe that breaking up with him was for the better actually. But then, after him, I had nobody left. No friends. No close siblings. No parents. All I had was a fortune, left behind by my now dead parents. My existence was only recognized by store keepers and apartment managers.

I sigh tearfully. Nobody cared. Nobody would cry over me if I died. Nobody would even know.

They wouldn't care until I died.

Until I died.

With that thought I slowly drifted to sleep. A twisted smile on my face.

•••••••••••••••••••••

I woke up panicking. I gripped my white sheets and struggled to breath.

Calm down, calm down.

I told myself. Slowly I calmed down and finally I could breath normally.

I can't do this anymore. All I did was hurt myself. Tears build up in my eyes as the suicidal thoughts flew around carelessly.

"UUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!" I screamed in frustration. I stalked up to my wardrobe and grabbed the first shirt and pants I saw. My vision kept blurring in starvation. I gasped at the sudden jerk in my stomach.

"No no no!!" I hissed slipping on the black skinny jeans and the oversized blue t-shirt. I decided that since I only had a few more hours of life left, I could just go barefoot.

I didn't lock my apartment door as I left. In fact, I left it wide open. I smiled as adrenaline ran through my veins. Quickly I ran to the beach. There where plenty of dangerous cliffs down there that I always wished to jump off.

A beautiful place to die.

I walked up to the highest edge.

A worn down sign read

"WARNING don't approach edge,

A fall from this cliff can result in death or serious injury."

I smiled. That's exactly what I wanted.

Death, never has that word been so sweet. For a few seconds I enjoyed the feeling of excitement when looking down at the enormous rocks. There was no way I was surviving this fall.

Suddenly something jerked inside of me.

No, I don't want to die!! Not today!! I'm only 18!! I have so much to live for!!!

A voice screamed in my mind.

But I do want to die!!

Nobody cares for me!!! Nobody cares!!!

I am nothing!!!!

I screamed back.

Everybody hates me, I stared at the clear blue water below.

I wanted this.

But I didn't.

Something inside of me suddenly jerked.

And I jumped.
