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.

"Ten years ago today was the worst day of my life. On the 17th of November 2007, I lost my best friend in a hit-and-run car accident. It's been a hard ten years, living from day to day with an awful childhood tragedy at the back of my mind, but the years still crawl by agonisingly slowly. I say that, but when I think about Alice and what happened to her it barely seems like yesterday. My therapist seems to think that documenting everything I think and feel in this diary will finally help me get over her death-and who knows? Maybe he's right. Or maybe he's very wrong; in which case I suppose this diary could serve as some kind of "note"." This is really just me playing around with the diary format and exploring what would happen to the friends of someone who died young - how they would react and try to pick up their lives etc. When writing this, I picked a start date for the diary that seemed far away but it's soon crept up on me, so I had the idea of posting it on the actual dates stated in the book. I actually started writing it in 2016 but I've REALLY procrastinated with it. DISCLAIMER: this is a work of fiction. All events and characters herein are fictitious. Any relation to persons living and/or dead is completely coincidental. THEMES THAT MIGHT NEED TRIGGER WARNINGS ('cause you never know): Grief Car accidents Self-harm Substance abuse Mental health (As you can probably tell, I have no experience with this kind of thing, I''m not even sure what a trigger warning is supposed to look like. I originally planned to rate this mature but was recommended not to - if you think I should, feel free to message me.) Enough with my ramblings, on to the main event!
