Suicide :( (UPDATED PLZ READ)

Today is the one year anniversary of my best friend Simons' death. He committed suicide exactly one year ago from today. He was 12 years old, about to be 13. His birthday was close to mine, somewhere In February. He killed himself right before his bday. He was very popular and very good looking. He had blonde hair and bright blue eyes, and the most outgoing and happy personality. He had a beautiful girlfriend, Maddie. But even though he seemed happy, he always had emptiness inside him. Why? Because of his family.

Back in 5th grade, he and his mom got into a car accident, and he saw her die. A few weeks later, his dad committed suicide. (Not the best example he's setting for his kids) He was then raised by his loving aunt and uncle.

Before we talk more about his death, I want to tell you something that happened in 5th grade, something I will never forget. This is what started our friendship.

Okay, so we all had to put on a mini play, and we had to make up the lines and actions and everything. This was for an English assignment, where our teacher, Mrs. Sattterwhite, gave us the personalities for the people, and we had to use those personalities to do the charecter. I was Clare, the tomboy, (nothing like me but oh well) Sarah was Jane, the girls girl, and Simon was Tom. In this play, Tom was supposed to have a crush on Clare. The main idea of the play was we had to plan a surprise party for our friend. So this is the part of the play I won't forget.
Clare: How about we have a sports theme?
Jane: Thats the stupidest idea I have ever heard.
Tom: don't talk to my girl like that!

Yes, the famous, "Don't talk to my girl like that!". It became really famous in my school. EVERYBODY tortured us by saying that over and over again. Including Mrs. Satterwhite. Whenever he first said it, Mrs. Satterwhite fell out of her chair laughing. Originally, he was supposed to say, "Don't talk to her like that." I'm glad he didn't now, because it's my favorite my memory of him.


Well this is why he did it, and how. The night of the suicide, his aunt and uncle were yelling at him, and his grades were dropping. He must've felt so unloved. I really wish he wouldve called me, or anyone, instead of killing himself. Well, he took his uncles gun when nobody was watching, went into his room, and shot himself in the chin. When they found him, they rushed him to the hospital. After hours, when they took him off life support, he died immediately. He died somewhere around 2:00 am. I wish I was there, too say goodbye. I want Sooo bad to see him again. I don't care how long, I just want to see him breathing and alive.

I went home early that day from school. I went home crying. I ran from my house and ran to the lake in the middle of my neighborhood. And I cried. There is so much I won't forget, the play, his beautiful smile, his voice, and the day it happened.

I love you Simon. I will always love you. I miss you and I will never forget you.
