nine.

before zach committed suicide, he wrote a letter. a letter to anyone, or everyone. here's what the letter says.

Dear whoever's reading this,

    I just wanna say that, I love you and I hope you live life wonderfully. Though I'm dead, I'll still be with you, forever. I know I haven't really fulfilled my dreams, death was there. I know I should've gone to someone instead of committing, but here I am, dead. Even though I'm dead, I'm going to tell you what's really been going on. I'm depressed, and mainly because of the stress, but then one night I went to a party, and I was accused of saying a word that I didn't even say. Then some people sent death threats and it kept piling and piling and piling til I couldn't stand it anymore. If I hurt anyone, I'm incredibly sorry, but I want you to be happy. Anyways, back to the story, I felt like I couldn't tell anyone, like no one could be there for me. There were times when I wanted to speak to you about this whole situation, but I couldn't seem to do it. If you're crying, please don't cry. Smile for me? If you're sad, don't be sad. I want you to be happy! Just think of the goods, not the bad. I just want you to know, I'll be there for you even if I'm not physically there. I'll be okay now, I'll finally have a taste of freedom. But please, if you're ever feeling worthless, please talk to someone or get any help, because you're worth living for! Me I just didn't realize how there were people who were there for me. Anyways, thank you to my family, to Daniel, Jonah, Corbyn, Jack, to the true fans out there, and people who would always put a smile to my face even when times are hard. I love you all and I wish you all the best, so goodbye and be safe!!!

Love, Zach

after writing the letter and placing it somewhere, that was when he took a bunch of pills and a razor. soon, he died.

everyone just cried reading that. it became too emotional for them. how could they lose someone so beloved to them in an instant?
how could they not know that he went through all of that?

all these thoughts came piling into their heads and couldn't help but wonder, what if they knew. they tried to be happy just like was zach told them, but it was too hard to do so. everything became way different with him gone...

A/n: hey guys! I hope you enjoyed his chapter and of course this is fake. Zach's fine and he's posting, so I'm glad. Also there is one more chapter left of this book. I really appreciate all of you reading this. Seriously.
Anyways, hope you have a great day, and I'll see ya next time! PEACE!
