Alexander is using me. He drinks all the time, and hits me too. Everything is horrible. I sit at the table, wondering why I even bother. Nothing will ever please him. He doesn't love me, I don't love him. Something inside me snaps. I start to cry again. I hate this! I'm so unhappy! The door opens, and in walks Alexander. He takes one look at me. "You have to stop thinking about that boy, he'll never come back." I look up. I glare at him, causing him to slap me hard. "You don't understand! He's the only person who ever loved me, or at least cared about me! Not like you'd know! You don't care about anyone but yourself!" He becomes furious, shoved me to the ground. He kicks me repeatedly, until I take off running. "Wait, come back! I'm sorry!" He screams. He's never sorry. Tears blur my vision. I can't continue like this. I run to the edge of the cliff. I stare down at the ground below. It's the only option I have left. I can see him again. I close my eyes, and step forward. I feel my body drop. All I can think about is Cato. I left the note on the cliff edge. I can't go on. Not without him.
