"Im Free"

     ⚠️NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART⚠️
                      

Alex unlocks her door then turns around to her friends. She gives them a hug and say. "Good-bye. I love you guys." They are clueless. "Bye girl. See you tomorrow." Her first friend says. "Yeah.." Alex says as she turns to walk inside. A tear falls down her soft face. Parents aren't home, siblings wont be home for another hour. She sets her stuff down and walks to her room. She gets the box shes kept hidden under her bed and grabs the knife. She she gets a pen and paper and begins to write explaining why, but she draws a few lines through the sentences and just writes "I'm sorry." She takes the knife and trails a faint line from just under her chin to right above her beating heart. She presses the tip to her skin, hard enough for abit of blood to get on the tip of the knife but not leak down. She presses abit harder, whimpering as the knife goes through her protective skin layers and nerves. Her white shirt becomes stained with her flowing blood. She takes her hand and quickly pushes the knife into her heart.  She cries in pain as she falls onto the ground. After a few seconds she takes the knife out, speeding up her death. She smiles in relief as she cries. "I'm finally free."
