Jamie Handers makes the horrible decision to end her life one night when she finally can't take the pain anymore. It was the end of her hurting; the end of her pain. But it was also the end of everything else. After she has passed, everyone in her life is deeply affected by her loss. Her best friend Melanie will never be able to take them both to London, and she loses her hope and her optimism. Her father, Robert, is devastated and crushed with the loss of his only daughter, and constantly blames himself for what happened. Her friend, Mason, gets angry at everything he never said- and how he never admitted how much Jamie actually mattered to him. Finally, the story of Jamie's future- what would have happened- reveals itself. This story of depression and suicide is meant to raise awareness about how much one person really matters and the consequences ending their own life will have.
