"Think about
it."
It's the morning. Your parents walk into your room to wake
you up for school. First they just think you're
sleeping. But they notice your little chest
isn't moving.They notice you're slumped over the
side of your bed, wrist up. They see a pool of blood beneath your
lifeless arms. Your bed is covered in bed. Your
whole body is colorless except for the red spots in
certain spots. Their face goes white. They feel
sick. Your mom falls to her knees, hands trembling,
tears streaming down her now pale face. Your dad runs to
your motionless body. He begins to shake you yelling,
"Wake up! I know you're still here!" He begins to
cry, Your strong fathers is now bawling his eyes out.
One of your siblings runs upstairs, knowing what happened before
he even stepped into the room. They knew you were feeling like
this. Now they hate themselves. More then you ever hated
yourself. They regret not saving you.They wish they
had said something. A day has passed and the whole school knows.
All your friends just think you were sick and that they will see
you tomorrow. But its five minutes before school ends and an
announcement comes on the sound system. They share the
loss. Your best friend is in her class screaming out in
pain. She wants to die. She goes home and locks
herself in her own room. She paces around her room crying,
thinking. She pulls out a long scarf from her closet. 20
minutes have passed and your best friend is now gone as
well..She was hoping to meet you agaiin. Now the school is
mourning the loss of two bright teenagers. Two
families cry tonight. Your crush hears the news and
doesn't talk to anyone for days. He stops eating. He
stops talking. He stops living. He just sits alone in his
dark room thinking of all the ways he should have helped.
You're dead forever. Those people who made
fun of you cry tonight too. They never meant to kill
anyone. Your teachers have to go through all your records
and take you out of their classes. They cry tonight too. That
one teacher who saw your arm? They will live their life in
regret, knowing if they would have done something you could have
had a family, gone to college, had a future...but now you're
dead. You may not think anyone cares. but everyone
does. Deep down everyone will die a little inside
knowing the girl who never went a day without smiling was
actually hurting so much inside. YOU
MATTER. Please don't leave me tonight. You
can make it through this.
I believe in you.
