Narrator-
At 12:04, on Rocklin Street in Los Angeles California, there lived a girl. She was beautiful, but she didn't know it. Everyday she would go about her life oblivious to everyone who stared at her, in shock of how pretty she looked.
There were the jealous ones who picked on her, calling her names. She believed them. There were the shy ones, some too shy to stand up for her. There were the envious ones, who wished they could love her. She just kept her head down, praying that she could be happy.
Then, catastrophe struck. Her life was torn in two, and she was forced to flee. She left a blind man behind, who died without her guidance.
Suddenly she was rescued by a troubled knight. She fell into his arms, but the knight was confused and hurt her. Only when it was too late did he realize what he had done.
In her new home, she met others. She found friends, which changed her life. There was a solider. He was fighting through his own battles in life. Somehow, he stopped and helped her out.
There were two beautiful princesses as well. One was gentle and kind, while the other was envious and scarred from her past.
There was an adventurer. He was inexperienced and wild, ready to try new things. The girl was crying on the side of the road, and the young man helped her up and comforted her.
Finally, there was a pauper. He didn't seem like much. He of course was kind and funny like many other young men. This pauper however, when he saw the young girl, he fell in love with her. Alas (I've been waiting to say that), the girl was in love with the douchebag knight. He loved her from a distance, helping her along her journey.
The girl was broken by the knight, and realized she was really in love with the pauper, her best friend. Sadly, the girl was ill. This disease was killing her heart, and blinding her to the truth. She was loved.
In her last desperation to say her goodbyes, she wrote the Knight, the princesses, the traveler, the solider, and her beloved pauper letters. She delivered them, and she was finished. It was time for her to leave her friends.
Jerome's POV-
It was 11:59, and I was tired of waiting. What could be so important that I had to open this letter at midnight? I gingerly opened the envelope and pulled out the folded piece of paper.
I read slowly, savoring her words. I realized that I was crying by the last paragraph. Then, those words turned my blood cold. "Goodbye Jerome. I still love you you know? No matter where I go, I always will." I dropped my letter in shock. "No.... no she can't be gone." I ran and threw my door open. It flew open and hit the wall.
Mitch's POV-
"Ready to open your's?" Carolynn asked excitedly. I nodded, and I saw that it was now midnight. I ripped the note open, and read the contents of my letter. Half way through, Carolynn's face contorted from happy to confused.
The last line made me lose my breath. "Goodbye Mitch. Thank's for being the older brother I never had." No. No, this wasn't real. Carolynn screamed at the last line of her letter, and then rushed to the door. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. In desperation, she started pounding on the door "LET US OUT!" Tears ran down her face.
"Carolynn get back." I wasn't about to let Hannah go. I tensed up and took a few steps back. Then, I threw all my weight against the door. It cracked a little. "Come on!" I slammed into it again, and again. "Just. Give. Way already!" The door cracked and it ripped off the door frame.
"HANNAH DON'T DO IT!" Carolynn screamed as we ran towards Hannah's room.
Adam's POV-
I reread the letter. Once, twice, three times. She... she's going to kill herself. It was all my fault. My fault. I was the monster that had ruined her. Why did I do it?
It all hit me at once. I had seen me in Hannah. I was a very depressed person three years ago. In fact, I had attempted and failed at suicide three times. I rolled up my pant leg. Scars covered my thighs. "Why Adam? You idiot." I felt tears drip off my face. She was gone.
Wait! I could still save her! I yelled as loud as I could to wake the others up. I opened my door, to be greeted by a worry faced Mitch, a crying Carolynn, and a silent Jerome. They were trying to get Hannah's door open. Ian! I ran to his room, and saw a screw driver jammed into the lock. "Let me out!" Ian yelled, the door knob rattling. I yanked out the screwdriver and Ian burst out. "Quick Ian there's not much time!" He pushed through everyone and broke down the door.
Hannah's POV-
I let a few tears fall off my face, and then I jumped. My life flashed in front of my eyes. Adam, my knight. Marie and Carolynn, my two best friends. Mitch, my brother. Ian, my friend. And Jerome, my savior.
The water was dark and cold. I sank until I hit the bottom of the 15 foot deep pool. I opened my eyes and was greeted by the sting of chlorine and water. I could barely see the stars underwater, but I could see a few. My last minutes under the stars. Beautiful. I smiled a little, and then felt the panic of death settle in.
Air! I need air! My lungs started to burn, worse and worse. No, you're doing this for them. They'll be better off without you. Becca was right. I was fat, I was dumb, I really didn't deserve to live. I let a breath of air escape me. Bubbles drifted up to the waters surface. Then more, and more. I was now out of air.
I gasped desperately for air, but my lungs were greeting with burning water. I was dying. It hurt like hell. Dying hurts, that's new. As my slight began to darken, something else jumped into the water. It swam closer and closer, and I felt two pairs of arms grab me. "Too late guys. I'm dying." I wanted to say. More water filed my lungs, and the pain made me black out.
I was in a room. I coughed up water, gallons and gallons. Then, it turned a sickly red. Blood. I'm coughing up blood. I looked around me. The room was white, and unfurnished like before. That's when I realized, I was dead.

Fact: I have really low self esteem. I don't think highly of myself, and when people say nice things about me, I think they are joking most of the time, or I just don't believe them. My opinion of myself is very shitty.
