*this is a story I wrote in high school for my English class. Of course the teacher loved it and read it aloud to the class and everyone in class thought I was even weirder than I am.  So I hope you enjoy this tale about a depressed girl who just wanted a happy ending*

There once was a girl that was chronically depressed and never felt like she fit in. She never felt like she was in the right place , but one day it all changed. She decided one day that she was going to leave this hell that she lived in daily. Sometimes she would write in this little black book, almost like a diary, but she often warned people it wasn't a diary only a journal. She wrote everything to how she felt to stupid little stories about perfect endings. Most of the time she found herself slip, she never knew how to end a tragic story with a happy ending. This made her think about her own life, does every life have a happy ending like the movies and stories? She went into deep thought about it, every day and night she would just stare at the book and wonder how to end it where it was a perfect fairy tale. She never could, days, weeks, and even months passed. But one day she had to decipher that the world would never give her a happy ending. After she took this into consideration the depression just hit her so hard she couldn't take it any longer. She found a blank page in her book right after the story with no happy ending and wrote 'You know what to do', and book marked it with her favorite key necklace.

Then on a dark stormy night she looked out her window took the noose and jumped out of her bedroom window that was 5 stories high. This was the happiest ending she's had her whole life.
