Katie no more

I am writing this story to let you know that suicide is never the answer. My best friend Katie was a victim of this. Katie and I meant in preschool. We grew up being best friends then once we reached middle school things started to get out of hand. Katie found this boy named Zach but everyone called him Slice. Katie was having trouble at home and Slice saw his chance to take his next victim. He said that he understood her and was by her side whenever she needed him. They started to hang out more often. They would go to the skating park and behind bars. He started her on drugs like drinking even though she was in 8th grade. She started smoking weed and pot and all that stuff. She even started doing injections and pills. I tried to talk to her but she pushed me away. Our friendship started drifting away. Then one day I saw her wrist and grabbed her. "What is this" I said pointing at her cut up wrist. "None of your beeswax" she replied in a mean growl, and she pulled her arm away and walked down the hall, in her black jeans and shirt. Then couple days went by and she didn't show up to school. I got worried so I called her house, and her mom picked up. "Hello" she said in a sad and somewhat scared tone. "Hi it's Kelly can I speak to Katie" I said trying to wonder what was wrong. "Shes not here shes at the hospitol." "Why?!" I said scared at all my thoughts. "Well were not sure but a couple of days ago we went in to check on her in her room and she was on the floor with a knife in her hand and her arm was badly cut and blood was gushing from it. We rushed her to the ER, and the doctors said she was lucky she didn't lose to much blood." by the end of that sentence you could tell she was in tears. "Oh my gosh" I said unable to say anything else. Somehow in the back of my mind i knew this was going to happen in one way or another. The next week she was back in school and I went to talk to her. "Hey I heard what happen, do you want to talk about it" I said trying to be helpful. "Whats there to talk about, I fine leave me alone I can deal with this on my own." She growled, and walked to Slice and they walked to the gym together. Months passed and we never talked anymore. I saw her getting more exclusive. Then one night I got the worst phone call of my life. "Hello" I answered. I heard a bawling lady on the other line. "It's Ka..Katie she.....she she's dead." she said barley making out the last words. "What" I said stunned. "We went to check on her as always and we saw her on the floor with a knife in her chest with a note on her head. We called 911 but it was to late." I broke down crying. I mean how could she why would she. "What does the note say" I asked not sure if i wanted to know. "It says 'Dear friends and family, I'm sorry I had to do this, but life was getting out of hand. I'm sorry mom and dad the way I treated you I don't blame you for anything. To my friend forever Kelly I'm sorry I pushed you away, you were the best friend I have had. Probably the biggest reason I killed myself was because I didn't know how to make thing right with you guys. I'm sorry again please don't be mad at yourselves. I love you all. -Katie' " she finished and I was crying my eyes out. Why, why did she have to do this. That night I got no sleep and let my thoughts wonder and I tried to tell myself it was only a nightmare, but the next morning was so real. I went to school red puffy eyes, and I talked to no one. Then I saw Slice walking down the hall as if nothing had never happened. I ran up to him pushed his little scraggly body against the locker and gave him the talk of his life. "YOU MONSTER. YOU KILLED HER. YOU PUSHED HER TO KILL HERSELF AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY. NOTHING. CAUSE YOU ARE A HEARTLESS JERK AND CARE ABOUT NO ONE EXCEPT YOURSELF." I broke down in tears and my friend helped me let go of the scum. He fell to the floor as i walked away. It's been a year now and life hasn't changed much. Slice changed his name back to Zach,and is now mellow and talks to no one all he does is write in his notebook. I however tell my story to people, and try to convince them that suicide is never the answer.
now you know my story, please know that people will help you no matter what the problem suicide is wrong, don't be like Katie.
