Ashley got down from the tricyle and paid the driver. She slowly walked down the path that led to the river. She was so cautious this time, ensuring no one was around to watch her. When she got to the river she took of her shoe and dipped a leg into the water- it was oddly cold.

I hate you

It's funny how life is. One moment you're hanging out with someone you love and enjoy their company, boom next thing you hear is that they are dead. You have to force yourself to accept it and move on. Even though Timi wasn't the best brother she could ask of, he definitely was a part of her life for sixteen years and she could never forget him.

Her mother was never her number one fan. Her mother hated her, damaged her the more and hindered her growth unlike other mothers. Her mother never showed her love not once and she was never remorseful about it. If Ashley couldn't forgive her for what she did can she forgive her father for killing her?

Ayo. Ayo was joy, Ayo was peace, Ayo was her safe heaven. Ayo was all she could ask for in one person. Ayo never questioned her or force her to speak to him. Ayo was very perfect and she regretted not telling him everything. The guilt she has is still there, like a lump in her throat and she has no idea how she's going to get it out.

Her father?. He's a monster, a devil, a wicked person and Ashley wished she never knew him. If Emem was what she seemed - loving, caring and cool then she doesn't deserve him.

Ashley stepped another feet into the water. She kept walking father till the water gradually soaked her clothing till it got to her chest. She closed her eyes and fell into the water, deeper and deeper till she couldn't see the surface. She was going to rest this time for sure. That she know..

I honestly don't know how to write scenes like this, hope I pulled it off?. Please my story does not promote suicide or broken homes in any kind. I just wanted to make it more realistic. To whoever might be going through depression: the first step is talking. If not talking write down your emotions in a book or record it on your phone. Trust me it helps more than anything. The feeling after getting those words out of your head is like taking off your bra at the end of a long day. (There's no better explanation I could find more relaxing).

With the help of google I decided on my part to research on depression. Hope you find it helpful.
