Bullied

Chapter 5: Suicide

"I'll be forgotten in time, no matter how hard I try," Lyric from Goodbye

The girl finally snapped as she ran as fast as she could. Tears fell as she stopped caring.

She ran home, and was about to knock until she heard her parents laughing. She peeked, and saw that her parents were laughing with Paul.

None of them seemed to notice that she wasn't there.  She snuck through the back, and wrote a note before leaving.

I'm sorry. I tried to--
You were right. I am a wasted life.
Come on, that's not true.
Oh, now you have a chance of heart? Now, you're too late!

She stopped thinking as she continued running. She stopped when she saw a bridge. She peeked, and saw that it didn't stop. She took off her schoolbag before sitting down near the edge.

"I'll be a wasted life, so this is my goodbye," she said, but...

The girl's teacher and Sabrina searched through every house before knocking on the farthest one.

The parents stopped laughing, as Paul opened the door. "Are you the parents of Ms--" the teacher started before getting cut off.

"Where is she?" the mother asked as their eyes widened.

"I thought she was staying after school,"
"I thought Paul was picking her up,"

Both parents stared at Paul as he placed his arms defensively. "In my defense, I wasn't informed," Paul admitted sheepishly as Sabrina facepalmed.

"Look, it doesn't matter. The point is, your daughter is going to make a grave mistake. We need to find her before--" she was cut off by the girl's father.

"Just show us the way," he said bitterly, but there was concern underneath that bitter tone.

The two nodded as they started walking. The father instantly followed, the mother hesitated before following, and Paul went along.

The five went as they quickly searched for the girl before finding her sitting on the bridge.

She looked unsure, whether she wanted to continue with her plan or not.

"Stop!" all five yelled as cars passed through, for the bridge was across from the highway.

When it was safe, the five quickly ran and caught up with the girl. The girl looked rather surprised.

Her mother looked like she was on the verge of crying, her father, Paul looked stunned along with her teacher and Sabrina.

"Please don't do this," her mother and father pleaded as the girl looked down. "Why?" she asked.

"We realized how terrible we acted as parents. We should've saw the signs sooner," they both said as the girl scoff.

"Now, I'm on the verge of dying, and you choose now to care?" she asked bitterly before adding. "I was bullied in elementary! Neither of you cared. I'm an outcast in the family. I never get shown the same amount of love as Paul, but now," she paused as she gripped the edge harder.
