What Happens?A Chapter by Hailey HughesThis is a 'Quote' by a stranger.
You wanna know what happens when you kill yourself? Your mother comes home from work and finds her baby dead, she screams and runs over to you trying to get you to wake up, but you won't. She keeps screaming and shaking you while her tears are dripping onto your face. Your dad hears all the screaming and runs into the room; he can't even speak because the child that he loved; the child he watched grow up is gone forever... Finally your little sister runs into the room to see what all the fuss is about and she sees you dead. The person she looked up to and loved. The person she bragged about to her friends, the person she wanted to be when she grew up, the person that made her feel safe. But she's never really going to get to grow up and smile and laugh and love because she'll always be consumed with this feeling of missing you. And now there's something missing from your family and they can barely look at each other anymore because everything reminds them of you; but you're gone and it hurts more than anything. You think that your mom never cared because she was always busy and yelling at you to finish your homework and clean your room, and she forgot to say "I love you" sometimes but really, she loved you more than anything. Now she doesn't even leave the house, she can't even get out of bed and she's getting thinner and thinner because it's too hard to eat. Your father had to quit his job and he doesn't sleep anymore, every time he closes his eyes he sees his baby dead, and the image never goes away no matter how much alcohol he drinks. And at school your best friend sees that your seat is empty and she gets this sick feeling in her stomach and that's when she hears the announcement. You killed yourself. And suddenly she's screaming and crying in the middle of class and no one even bothers comforting her because they are all busy sitting there staring at your empty seat with tears dripping down their cheeks. And all she wants is for you to hug her and tell her it's gonna be okay like you always did, but this time, you're not there to do it. Everything is dark now that you're gone and her grades are slipping, she barely goes to school anymore, and she ended up in the hospital after taking too many pills because she wanted to see you again. The girls who used to make fun of the way you dressed feel their throats get tight, they don't talk to each other anymore, they don't talk to anyone, they're all in therapy trying so hard not to blame themselves but nothing works. Your teacher who always gave you a hard time stares blankly at the wall, she quits her job a few days later. And then your boyfriend hears the news and he can't breathe. He still calls you a lot just to hear your voice and he talks to you on facebook but you never message him back. He can't fall in love again because every girl he meets reminds him of you, he's never going to get over you. He loved you and he cries himself to sleep every night, hating himself and slicing his own skin because he couldn't save you, and he's never going to hold you in his arms or hear your laugh again. Now everyone how knew you, whether they were a big part of your life or someone you passed in the hallway a few times a week, they carry this aching feeling around inside them because your gone, and they miss you, and they don't know why you left but it must've been their fault and they should've told you they loved you more. That feeling is never going to go away. And so you killed yourself.... But you killed everyone else around you too.
