Its when you wake up in the morning and the tears are still there. Its when you don’t have the strength to get off your knees when you finally break down and fall to them. Pain. The thing that hits us all in the gut when we are smiling. Jasmine was getting it hard. It was if she had been repeatedly been kicked in the gut with soccer cleats or combat boots. She was doubled over in the bathroom floor. She couldn’t breathe and she couldn’t see. She could see the blood. The one thing she knew was there. She kept her knees to her chest and her arm over the bathtub. She had twisted the knob to close the drain off. It was over half full now. Everything was getting dark. But she was trying to hold on a little longer. She was memorizing all of their faces. The ones she’d leave behind. As she fell backwards she heard that voice. The one that had saved her so many times before. She shut it out and then everything went black.
Four Months Earlier…
“Jasmine!, Wait for me!” Zach was running to catch up with her. “What do you want?” Jasmine kept walking with her headphones still on but Zach could tell she was listening. “Are you mad at me or something? Because you haven't talked to me in like 2 weeks.” Zach was confused. She had been a constant pain in the ass. He loved her, no doubt. But she had gotten so annoying with all her bitching and crying. So he’d taken a couple of days away from her. Not exactly ignoring her but not paying attention to her all the same. He didn’t think she’d mind since she wasn’t paying much attention to anyone anyhow. “Why the fuck should you care?” Jasmine then hits the play button on her MP3 player and walks faster. Don’t cry…just don’t cry. Make it to 1st period and you will be able to read and it'll all be okay. When Jasmine got to first period she immersed herself into her book. It was her favorite. The one about the werewolf && the human. The romance story she read until she was dead to the real world. When the bell rang she didn’t even look up. “Jazmine, its time to go to 2nd period,” Mrs. Hord whispered. Jasmine got up, stuffed her book in her bag and quickly walked out of the room, blaring her music the minute she got out of the door.
