Don't Do It

The asteroid that found love

As the days went on I could see the pain and suffer the people on Earth were going through. It was hard to watch. I wish they knew what I knew. I need to do something before it's too late. I need to protect the universe and save another planet and its inhabitants from becoming extinct.

The day was june the twenty third and earth was just about to find out it only had a few more days left. The news came after scientists had been searching for any new planets. They saw an asteroid. The asteroid was bigger than earth and was coming down at some speed. They needed now needed to warn and prepare everyone for the last day of their lives.

The news soon knew and it wasn't long until the news was all over social media. The news came as a shock to many people and they were thinking what to do. The people of earth I find are very determined and this was no different. They were so confident they weren't going to get beat by the flying giant they started saying it was a hoax. Little did they know it wasn't and they only had a week left to survive.

The next day scientists were back on the scene. They thought they had misjudged the size of the asteroid. They hadn't. If anything, it was bigger than they remembered. I knew they only had six days left now and they weren't being serious. This was when I sent my first message to Earth.

"I'm broadcasting to you to warn you how big the asteroid Is, it's three times as big as your planet and you need to act" I said.
"You may also be wondering how you can stop this. Truth be told I don't know but you need to prepare the best you can" I proceeded to say.
My message was heard all around Earth and now people started to worry. What came after the message I did not expect. It was a shock to me and all of humanity.

You know how I said determined? They took it to the extreme. A post on social media showed a celebrity cutting their skin with a knife-this was captioned with 'when you hear about the asteroid'
As people do, they like to copy their idol. Everyone started to cut themselves  with a knife and tag it #asteroid.

Blood was now flooding the Earth as the next day came. The tag had now became number one on trending and the world was about to wake up to another shock. The celebrity that started the trend had filmed themself commuting suicide. It showed them saying "we need to stand together!! We won't let the asteroid beat us". Well we all know what this lead to don't we?

I then started to research using my powers what Earth had to defeat the monster. I found it. Love was the key. I had realised that the asteroid was picking up speed everytime a negative comment, self harm are suicide happened. I then broadcasted to Earth again.

"You can't keep doing this, you are making things worse for yourself!!! Stop killing yourselves and just enjoy the rest of your days" my first part went. I decided to help them and I left a little code in old English. It wasn't hard and I knew that butI needed to help them."Love thyself before thylove others. Thoushalt be able to love others only if thy love thyself" It was now out Earth knew what they had to do.

It didn't take long until I saw a decrease in self harm and suicide. People knew they now had to work as a team to stop the asteroid.

Two days before the strike something amazing happened. In the team humans had stopped hating themselves but love themselves and others. This lead to the asteroid slowing down and vereing away from Earth. I knew they didn't have enough time and everyone had to join in with the love. It was looking very unlikely the human race was going to live on.

This was the day, the strike was looking inevitable. I had done all I can but the humans were to slow to act. The humans knew it was 'asteroid day' they just had to try and make the day the best last day ever and that's what they did.

An hour before the strike everyone was in the streets dancing. They could see the time and they were frightened. Their existence was more in jeopardy by the minute. They had to be happy and many people were saying saying their goodbyes.

At thirty minutes the asteroid was in sight and now the humans started crying. I had done what I could, this was it. Well you would think that but the wonderful humans were still determined. At around a minute left they all kissed. The love was to strong and moved the asteroid away.

When the humans realised they had parties and alot of fun. This was just one act of amazing teamwork by the humans I have seen. I don't know why anyone should feel that low to self harm or commit suicide but the cure is always love. Remember there is always someone that loves you.The events on the 30th June could have been alot different but the power of love can stop everything.

If you have any problems like the ones expressed in this story please don't be scared to get help. There will always be someone that loves you.
