Spoilers for the book All The Bright Places a book about suicide and depression by Jennifer Niven.
by Violet Markey - All The Bright Places -
Where are you? And why did you go? I guess I'll never know this. Was it because I made you mad? Because I tried to help? Because I didn't answer when you threw rocks at my window? What if I had answered? What would you have said to me? Would I have been able to talk you into staying or talk you out of doing what you did? Or would that have happened anyway?
Do you know my life is forever changed now? I used o think it was true because you came into it and showed me Indiana and, in doing that, forced me out of my room and into the world. Even when we weren't wandering, even from the floor of your closet, you showed the world to me. I didn't know my life forever changing would be because you loved me than left, and in such a final way.
So I guess no Great Manifesto after all, even though you made me believe there was. I guess there was only a school project.
I'll never forgive you for leaving me. I just wish you could forgive me. You saved my life.
Why couldn't I save yours?
