I just wanted it all to end. I couldn't take any more of it. It followed me everywhere I went. Torturing me, tearing me apart from the inside. What was it exactly, you ask? Death. My name is Carolanne, and this is the story of my death. My whole family died when I was much younger, around the age of 8. I'm 15 now, so that was 7 years ago. See, I was in the car with my mom, dad, and little sister, Megan. My dad was driving, and he thought he saw a woman standing in the road (He was mentally ill, but no one knew about it, not even him). In an instant, he turned the wheel, and the only way was off the side of the bridge. There was no railing at that time, and we all just went off the bridge down in the water. A person pulled me out of that car that day. I don't know who they were. It could have been an angel, or a demon. Why did they have to pull me out of that car? Why couldn't they just leave me there to die with my family like I was supposed to? But, since then I've lived with my grandma. I still live in this sucky town, by the name of Silverkeep. I get bullied by people at my school, physically and verbally. The girls call me things like a slut or a whore. The guys beat me. I usually don't go straight home after school, I go to the bridge and sit on the edge. After the accident, the town put railings on the sides of the bridge.

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
