18: shes dead

April 4th, 2014

«Luke»

I was at the park with ashton when i started to get a feeling that something was going to go wrong.

I was probably just being paranoid. I was walking over to the lake, while Ashton went to pee.

"Have you seen my daughter?" A women came over to me.

"What did she look like?"

"She has short black hair and blue eyes and pale skin." the women was looking all around.

"Was her name Brielle?" I asked while she nodded and looked at me.

"She was my friend." I said.

"Boyfriend?"

"No. I'm gay. And I have a boyfriend." I said.

"Oh. Well she didn't come home from school and I've texted her so many times and called her so I've just been going door to door trying to find her." she cried.

"I'm Luke, me and my boyfriend will help you find her. Okay?"

"I'm Britney. Thank you so much. Do you know where she might be?"

"Well, I'm not sure if you knew that her best friend left her alone at school probably 2 weeks ago." I said.

"I didn't know that. Her sister has no clue what happened either." Britney cried.

"Luke, im back." Ashton came next to me.

"Is this your boyfriend?"

I nodded.

"I'm Brielle's mom. She didn't come home and I'm scared." she cried.

"Oh okay. I'm ashton."

"I'm Britney. Do you want to finish looking in the park and the houses and the school and such and I'm going to go to the other side of the town. If I find her, I'll make her call you." she said.

We nodded and went to cross the bridge to go over the small lake.

Me and Ashton kept walking when my phone started ringing.

I saw it was Brielle and picked it up.

"L-luke?"

"Bri, where are you?" I asked.

"I-I'm in the forest at the back of the park." She said.

I took Ashton's hand and ran to the trees before venturing in until I heard crying.

I saw Brielle trying to hang a rope around the tree.

"No!" I ripped the rope out of her hands and hugged her.

"No! I need to do this!" She cried.

"I'm not letting you. Everything will get better. I swear to you." I said. Ashton hugged her from the other side.

"You'll be okay." he said softly.

"We have to call your mom." I took her phone from the ground and dialed her mom's number.

I turned away and ashton followed.

"Bri?" She asked.

"It's luke." I said.

"You found her?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Where was she?"

"In the back of the park like I'm the woods." I said.

"Please, please let me talk to her." she said.

I went to hand her the phone, but screamed when saw her hanging from the tree.

"Luke? What happened?"

"S-she's dead."

"Hold on ill be there in a few minutes." She said.

I untied the roped from her neck and checked for any type of pulse.

There was none.

I held her lifeless body in my arms when I heard footsteps. I looked up to see Britney rushing over.

"Oh my god. What happened?" She cried.

"We found her trying to hang herself so we called you and we weren't paying attention and she did it." i said.

"Why?"

"She wasn't accepted." I sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"She was lesbian. And no one in the school accepted her. No one accepts me either. But hers was worse. No one liked her except me and then she got bullied because she hung out with me, and I was bullied first. I'm sorry I didn't see it before." I cried.

"She didn't tell me any of that." Britney stroked her hair.

"I'm so sorry." I said.

Ashton didn't even like her much and he was crying.

"I'm going to schedule a wake and funeral." Britney said softly.

"We'll be there." I said.

She nodded.

"I have to bring her body to the funeral home. I had to do that with her dad." Britney said.

"Her dad died?" I asked.

"Yeah. Last year." she said.

"My dad died too." I said.

"My two siblings died." Ash said.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry." Britney said to both of us.

"Well you go get her taken care of and here I'll give you my phone number." I said.

Britney handed me her phone and I put in my number before handing it back to her.

"Thank you Luke." she hugged me before carrying Brielle away.

"Are you okay?" Ashton wrapped and arm around me.

"I will be." i said.

"Let's go home." he kissed my forehead and we stood up, heading for the walk home.
