Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting for something that will never happen. My name's Savannah Elliot Simmons and this is my story. I may look like an average, healthy and happy girl outside but inside I'm not. I may have my friends, family and my best friend along my side but no one knows what's really going on with me except for my family and my best friend Caleb's parents. When i was twelve i started making a bucket list and ever since I've been doing some of them without people knowing. My passion is photography, I've been taking pictures of every precious moments that's been happening to my life. Thinking that one day I'd probably leave it behind to someone and let them understand how important and meaningful those pictures were for me. I may not be living for too long but my life has definitely been worth it and i know i won't be having regrets in the end. My story didn't have a happy ending but it sure did have a once upon a time that I'll never forget.

Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering".
