An
Original Story By Me
6:25 a.m. /Jessabelle
She breathed in the cold winter air. It was something that used
to comfort her, but now it just dried and scratched her throat.
She was alone, and all she could hear was the rushing water 20
ft. beneath the her toes. She gently removed her jacket to reveal
pale arms lined with scars, some faded and some dark red new
ones. What had happened to her? She used to be this fun young
girl without a care in the world. Nobody cared anymore.
Jessabelle slowly stepped onto the short wall of the bridge.
She'd finally be free. Free of this pain, free of all the
stress and taunting kids at school. She could almost taste
it.
6:30 a.m./ Kyle
Kyle had just made it to the bus. He usually misses it. Others
could sense his excitement. He would finally get to see his
wonderful girlfriend, Jessabelle today. They hadn't been able
to talk for a while since he was sick the past week from Mono.
Kyle missed her smell, her smile, her laugh. She still
doesn't know how much he cares for her. It just breaks his
heart to be away from her. He loves her so much.
6:33 a.m./Claire
Claire tapped her nails against the wooden table. She was
surrounded by students, yet none of them was her best friend-
Jessabelle. Where was she? She was usually here by now. Claire
took out her phone to text her. She hoped she was okay, sure
laire took Jessabelle for granted sometimes but she means so much
to her. Life without Jessabelle would be nonexistant. She was the
only one in their school that would stand up to the bullies that
would taunt Claire. What was she doing right now?
6:34 a.m./Jessabelle
Jessabelle forces one last shaky breath into her lungs. Then, she
let her feet slip over the edge. Time seemed to slow as she began
to plummet towards the rushing gorge. Would her family find the
note she left on her bed? The one that explained why she had to
go so young? What would those at school think? That she was weak?
Or would they be remorseful for all those mean words they called
her? Jessabelle tried not to care anymore. And with that, she
closed her eyes as her head hit the water.
8:18 a.m./Kyle
Jessabelle wasn't here. Kyle let a small tear form but
quickly wiped it away. She never missed a day of school. Never.
Where was the love of his life?
8:20 a.m./Claire
Claire was surprised. Jessabelle was usually here by now, even if
she did come in late. Claire prayed that she was okay. What would
she do without her best friend?
9:41 a.m. they find her body. Jessabelle's mother
finds the note on her bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
10:00 there is an announcement at school saying she commited
suicide. Everyone is in tears. Those who bullied Jessabelle
blamed it on themselves, Claire blames herself for not being
there enough, Kyle blames himself for not standing up for her.
Even the kids who didn't ever talk to her blame
themselves.
1 Year Later
Jessabelle's parents got divorced. Her siblings cut
and have severe depression. Claire has been on suicide watch the
past month for trying to commit suicide, the bullies became too
much for her to handle. Kyle dropped out of school because he
couldn't concentrate anymore. Those who bullied Jessabelle
still cry every night because they believe they were the cause.
Her dad turned to alcohol and has no job. Her mom just sits
around the house, not having enough energy to go on.
They have a memorial there for her at the school. Every year on
that date now, they have a moment of silence to remember
Jessabelle.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary
problem.
