Richie hung there was a tear stained face and his father stood there is horror seeing his little boy motionless. He starts to regret everything he's done... he lost his only family to his abuse... Richie left a note underneath him and it read," I'm sorry I couldn't be the prefect child, I'm sorry I couldn't behave, I'm sorry I reminded you of mother, I can't take it anymore... I wanna be held by a parent that cared for me, I wanted to pretend to be happy and pretend that the scars weren't there... I was tired of talking to be noticed by my friends. Maybe where I'm going I'll be loved. I'm sorry if this makes you sad but, you'll see me again when your time comes... tell Eddie that I loved him and wished him that he has a happy life, give him my pet fish if you haven't killed it from anger, I must go I'm running out of room to write, I know you cared behind the alcohol... I love you.... see you soon..."
He stares at the note and turns to Richies body and sobs
