"Stop!" I carefully turned around and saw Alex and Jamie running down the pier. "Ellie please get down." It was Alex this time.
"No. Stay back. I need to do this." I started to cry which blurred my vision and I could feel myself getting weaker from the loss of blood.
"Why?"
"Because I'm done. I'm fed up of everyone treating me life dirt. I'm fed up with life. I hate my life. I hate myself. No one cares about me. No one loves me. I can't trust anyone. I'm done."
"You can trust us and we care about you," they were both crying now as well.
"I can't trust either of you. You both knew. You lied to me. This is where is happened, wasn't it? Where mum and dad died? You told me what happened was an accident but it wasn't. They killed themselves and they did it here. Why didn't you tell me?"
"You can't blame Jamie. He wanted to tell you but I wouldn't let him. You can't blame him, he's a good friend to you." Alex continued, "me and Mel thought it was best to tell you when you were older what actually happened as we were worried about how you'd react. We were planning to tell you years ago but Mel's never around and I couldn't bring myself to say anything."
"What happened?"
"After you were born, mum became ill to the point where her illness was affecting her mental capability and she kept getting confused. Once she forgot to pick me up from school and I was waiting two hours. The worst thing she did was put you in the bath whilst it was running, had gone off to do something or get something then forgot you were in there. You almost drowned. It broke her. She was pushed over the edge. She told dad that she was scared about hurting the kids and that she was going to kill herself and I guess he decided he couldn't live without her so late that night they both got into their car and drove of this very pier. Mel got the cops to change the story, I don't know how she did but I have some ideas. I am so sorry El." I didn't know how to feel. It wasn't mums fault she was that way.
"Ellie listen. Please don't do this. I know you feel hurt and like the world is out to get you but you have us and Max and Kerion and everyone at the club to help you fight back and trust me we all have our own bones to grind with the world like I would like to slap the world for making my mum ill." Jamie said.
"Someone will just find a way to hurt me even more and make my life a living hell even more than it already is. Plus, you'll leave just like everyone else does."
"We're not going anywhere. You're stuck with us no matter what and we will always be there for you. Please Ellie. Just get down. I can't lose you. You're my best friend and the best-est friend I've ever had but don't tell Max as he'll kill me. I need you here. You're smart and kind and funny beautiful and so much more and no one should tell you any different. You are an amazing girl. You mean everything to me. I love you Ellie." I could hear Jamie's voice break as buckets of tears sprinted down his face. Does he really love me? Maybe I was making a mistake. Do they actually care about me? Am I not really alone?
