Please Don't Leave Me

Chapter 12

I woke up at 3:00 in the morning. I just had a weird, sad feeling.

I got out of bed and walked to Joseph's room. I looked at his desk and walked over to it. I picked up a picture of me and him and felt an empty pit in my stomach.

I slowly and quietly opened his desk. Iggy's sleeping in here so I have to be quiet.

As I opened his desk something fell on the floor.

I looked back to make sure Iggy was still asleep. She was.

I bent down and picked the piece of paper off the floor.

I quietly opened the paper.

I took out my phone so I could read it with light.

Dear Alana,

I know that you love me. And I know that you wanna protect me. But in the situation that I'm in, I won't live long.

Yeah, I'm strong. But not strong enough. I've said I am. But the truth is I'm not.

I'm secretly dating Iggy. Haha. But you've probably already found that out.

I'm sorry I have to leave you, but I don't really have a choice.

Take care of mom and Hannah.

I love you,

Bye.

Joseph.

I fell to my knees and started screaming and crying.

Iggy woke up and came running over to me.

"Alana" she hugged me.

"GET OFF OF ME!" I screamed and released myself from her grip.

I ran to the bathroom.

Iggy came running after me. "Jared!" She yelled. "Jared!"

Jared came running up the stairs.

I got in the bathroom and locked the door.

"Alana open up." Iggy screamed while knocking on the door.

"Alana please" Jared yelled.

I stared at myself in the mirror for a few minutes. Wondering.

Why do I need to live? Mom can take care of Hannah. I'm not as strong as Joseph.

I should just die.

I punched the mirror braking the glass.

"Alana! Don't do this!!! People love you!" Iggy yelled.

"I love you." Jared said.

Jared's POV

"She's not gonna open it, we have to." Iggy said.

"How?" I asked.

"Go get the saw" Iggy said.

I ran downstairs and grabbed the saw.

Alana's POV

I bent down trying to find the perfect piece of glass.

Yes found it.

I stared in the mirror for a while.

Suddenly something went in the door and started cutting through it.

I'm gonna do this.

I put the glass to my wrist.

Right then the door fell down and Jared came running in.

He grabbed the glass out if my hand and through it on the floor.

"NO!" I screamed.

"NO!"

He held me in his arms as I cried.

"I wanna die" I cried.

"I wanna die"

I looked up at Iggy who was crying. And Liberty behind her crying.

"I wanna die" I kept screaming over and over again.

Iggy's POV

I stood at the doorway as I watched my best friend crying in her boyfriends arms.

She's suffering. She wants to die.

Alana Jensen wants to die.

Well one things for sure. That girl won't die as long as I'm alive.

I fell to my knees. I can't see her like this. I can't.

I cried and cried.

Liberty knelt down beside me.

She rubbed my back.

"Please let me die" Alana cried.

"Please."

By now Jared's eyes were tearing up.

I candle this.

Joseph needs to get better.
