suicide attempt // nash grier

three

The next morning Nash woke up with banging at his front door. He rushed out of bed and ran to the door. When he opened it, he was surprised to see the police.

"We got a call from this address and the woman said to come immediately." The police officer said.

"I don't know what happened.. Maybe my mom called?" Nash said confused.

"Do you mind if we take a look around?" He said waving his finger around.

"Sure."

Nash went to the kitchen and got a glass of water. One of the police men came and sat by him and asked him how he was and why his mom would've called the cops. He didn't know anything about anyone.

"Nash.." The police officer said walking out of my mothers bedroom. "Your mother, she's..."

"She's dead?! She can't be! Why!" Nash fell to his knees and cried.

"There was a note." He handed the note to the crying boy on the floor. "We won't read it until you're done."

Nash went up to his room, sat down, and read the note:

Nash,

I love you so much and I want you to know that. I'm not doing this because of you. I did it for me, Im going it because I want to end my misery. Ever since I went into rehab I have thought of ending my life, but you know what kept me going? You, you kept me going through it all and I don't know how much I thank you.

Im doing this because I broke a promise to god, and to you. The other night I drank, I drank so much that I couldn't stop and I couldn't forgive myself.

I know you hate me nash, I know you hate just me taking care of you. You know why? Because I don't buy you things, I keep you locked up inside, I'm just a horrible mother.

I love you baby. Goodbye...

"It's my fault... It's all my fault." Nash said with a river now flowing from his eyes. "I shouldn't have been so shady to her, I should've-" Nash couldn't speak another word. He was on the floor and wouldn't get up.

"Son, do you mind if we take a look at it ?" The officer patted his back nearly crying.

"Sure, whatever" His voice cracked.

The few officers read the note and were in tears. Everyone in town knew the Griers and loved them.

The next day Nash got a letter saying he had to go into foster care. He wasn't thrilled but it was better than being homeless for years. The thing is, he didn't know who the foster parents would be. He didn't know if they would be nice or strict. He just hoped they had kids his age.

Later on that Saturday, two men came to his door telling him he has to be packed by the next day or he won't have any of his personal items. He told him his new parents names were Mike and Sarah Espinosa. Espinosa he thought Espinosa, that name sounds familiar.

"Okay" He told the two men at the door.
