        I am katherine Watson. I am in high school. I was always bullied since preschool. I was always abused by my dad and my mother had died because my dad had killed her. though my mom had also abused me, she wasnt as bad as my dad. 

     I was walkin to school and i saw Simon Rogers. we were best friends. he was my only friend. He was the only thing keeping me from commiting suicide. I walked to my locker which was right next to his. he walked to his locker and looked at me.  i looked back at him. he walked over to my locker, which was just inches away from mine. I liked him. a lot. he looked straight into my eyes. " Hey kath." , he said. I liked his smooth, kind of high, voice. i could talk about him for days and not even realize it. " Hey Simon." i said. " can i come to your place sometime to get help with homework?!" he said a little enthusiasticly. "yeah sure when?" i said it as if i was happy for once. " um after school today? is that good for you?" "yeah. kay." "bye!" he said and went off to class.

            i grabbed my many books and tried to go to class. i say tried because i saw Georgia, lilian, and ella. i hated them so much. i tried to look down and pretend i didnt see them. i felt a hand grab my shoulder and stop me. " hey where you going nerd-o!" georgia grinned evily when she said it, squeezing my shoulder tightly. i winced, and i thought she coudnt hear it but she did. " Crying little nerd-o! HA! seriously this girl is a circus freak! " Everyone was staring at me by then. Georgia loosened her grip and wasn't even really holding my shoulder, so i ran with tears dripping down my face.

      i coudn't take it anymore. when school ended i walked on the street, found some money and called Simon. he answered after the third ring. "hello simon rogers speaking. " "hi it's kath watson. um can you meet me around the golden gate bridge as soon as you can." "u-u-um o-okay? i-i-i guess?" "kay bye." i was biting my lip as i ran to the golden gate bridge.i was finally near the bay. i looked around. then i saw it. simon's car. it was parked around the bay. he was standing by his car. i ran over to him and he looked at me suspiciously. "hey i wated to tell you something." i hesitated to say. "why am i at the golden gate bridge kath?" "yeah u-um about that." i bit my lip. "i am jumping over that bridge. commiting suicide. you were the only one who was stopping me from doing it so that's why your here simon." "you aren't commiting suicide. is this some kind of sick joke? jesus, kath. seriously. that is not funny." "no i-i am a-actually serious." "this isn't funny kath, really." "i am serious." "w- why are you doing this?!" " i called you because i wanted to say that i love you and i always have ever since i was 10. and you are the only thing keeping me from killing myself and i know you don't like me back so i just wanted to get that out of my system and j-" he cut me off with a kiss. he really meant that kiss.  he pulled away and looked me in the eye and said " don't kill yourself. if you do, i would kill myself. you jump, i jump. that's a fact." i just stood there stunned. "w-w-what y-you c-can't kill yourself because of me. i-i mean nothing. to anyone." " kath, i just kissed you and i love you and i always have. if your gonna kill yourself or become dead in anyway i am going to kill myself because i love you." "i'm gonna jump because and only because no one loves me other than you and i still don't know if that's true that you love me." i run up to the bridge and go on the edge i lean forward and, jump. everything goes black.
