Winnifred POV:
Perched atop a hill, just standing there wanting to jump. That's what my life has been like each and every night since the day Mum died. ' I would do anything for her back' I thought to myself and the wind ruffled my skirt and brushed the scars and cuts down my wrists and arms. It's cold out at night. I keep getting flashbacks to that night.

*Flashback*
'Mum, Dad I love you! Oooh that bird looks cool! Mum, Dad, did you see it? It was bright blue!'
'Winnie, can you be quiet? I'm trying to drive so that me and your mother can actually buy you some snacks.'
'Sorry Dad...'
'RICHARD! WATCH OUT!'
Then a smash as we collide with another car, passenger side against their driver. The next thing I remember is waking up in a white room, curtains a mustard yellow like waterfalls circling me, just hanging there. I hear voices and try to get up to
investigate but my head pierces me in return, I decide to listen in, Dads crying..
'I'm sorry sir, your wife couldn't be saved. She caught most of the damage. Your lucky to be alive as well as your daughter even though the car didn't directly hit you.'
More sobs come from the other side of the curtain, i catch tears rolling out of my eyes, too. She's gone

*End of Flasback*

I break into tears again, rolling down my face and stinging the cuts on my hands as I go to wipe them, just like mum did when she was alive. She always used to tell me that when someone dies their spirit makes a star and they are always loving you from above, i look at the stars. Tears fall onto my shirt again accompanied by fresh blood seeping out as I cut my wrist again right here. Mum wouldn't be proud. I don't care though. I'll do anything it takes to see her again.
'I'm ready to become one of the stars now.'
