T.W.: SUICIDE!!!

Virgil curled up tighter on his bed. Was it really worth it when he just hurts and annoys everyone? He was in so much physical and emotional pain. Virgil just wanted it all to end.

The boy slowly sat up, feeling like every limb was filled with lead. Virgil silently slipped into the bathroom, grabbing his anxiety medication, then snuck back into his room without anyone noticing.

Virgil poured all the pills into his hand. Was he really going to do this?

Virgil took a breath and swallowed as many pills as he could at once. He let out a sob once all the pills were gone.

Virgil went over to his desk, pulling out a sheet of paper, and started writing.

I'm sorry guys but this world is just not my place.

I've tried for so long to fix this and fit in. I've come to realize this world's full of sin. There's nothing for me here, I'm just a waste of space. I've got no reason to stay here with this awful race.

It's a disgrace, I was misplaced. Born in the wrong time and in the wrong place. It's okay though, 'cause you'll see me soon. You'll know when your time has come, just look at the moon.

As it shines bright throughout the night and remember everyone's facing their own fight. But I can't deal with the pain, I'm not a fighter. You'll make it through the night, just hug your pillow tighter.

So let the world know, that I died in vain cause the world around me, is the one to blame. And I know in a year, you'll forget I'm gone cause I'm not really something to be dwelled on.

That's what they used to tell me, all those kids at school. So I'm going by the law of majority rules. My presence on this earth is not needed any longer and if anything, I hope this makes you stronger.

Percy, you're the best friend that I ever had. It's such a shame I had to make you so very sad. But just remember that you meant everything to me and to my heart, you're the only one that held the key.

Now it's time to go, I'm running out of space to write and yes I lost my fight, but please just hold on tight.

I'm watching over you from the clouds above and sending down the purest and whitest dove to watch over you, and be my helpful eye. So this is it, world, goodbye.

Virgil felt shakey and dizzy by the time he finished his note. Things around his room seemed to warp and spin. His heart was pounding rapidly

Virgil tried to get up and move to his bed, but ended up falling to the ground. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was a scream.
