Chapter 1: Suicidal Thoughts

I had the knife held in my right hand with my left wrist held out in my lap. Today was the day i was done.

I was done with the homework assignments and the essays.

I was done with the size zero models I saw in every ad, knowing I will never look like that.

I was done with the parents who thought my boyfriend was a bad influence and too "mature" for me.

I was done with that same boyfriend who cheated on me with my older sister.

I was done with life.

I decided to enjoy my last few minutes, so i turned on the radio. I told myself that if I did not enjoy the song that was on, I would save myself the trouble of changing the channel. Instead I would slit my wrists. Deep.

I brased myself as the radio station tuned and a beautiful voiced beamed through the airwaves of my cold, lonely bedroom.

I believe, looking back, the song was Ed Sheeran's "A-Team."

I decided to spare my life for 3 more minutes.
