We Made It (Alex and Aryn's Story)

How It Got So Far

To be able to tell you guys about how we attempted suicide, we have to talk about before it happened, and what happened to make us feel this way. 

This happened when Alex was 15, and I, Aryn, was 16.

Now, To be clear, we are not in any way in an unhealthy relationship. Obviously what we did is not okay, but we were both drained and weren't realizing what we were doing. If Alex did anything to harm himself these days, I would probably go mad, I just want to protect him.

When we were both in high school, we lived in Norway. Alex's mother and father had gotten divorced, and his father was planning to move to Michigan (where Shelby and kai both reside). Alex is going to explain most of this because I feel like he does it best, so please stick with us, it might get confusing.

So yeah, (It's Alex here), The year this happened my mother and father were getting a divorce. My mother was abusive, and tended to get drunk and such, so my father decided to file for custody over my sister and I. Around this time, Aryn was getting kind of down the wrong path, And had recently dropped out of school. 

I had already been suffering with depression due to some other random shit, and I seriously wanted to die. 

That's of course when my father won custody over me, and we moved to Michigan.

We were only in Michigan for 2 months before my mother refiled for custody, claiming my father had done something wrong. 

Skip to a few months later where custody was now sort of, half and halfed? My mom would get me for 3 months, and than my father would get me for 3. It was quite inconveniant, and my mother really didn't deserve me but I couldn't really change anything.

I met Shelby somewhere around that time, and we became really close.

But it didn't quite do much to help my depression.

I still missed Aryn alot, and eventually it got to being to much for me.

So we started to plan to fuck up the custody stuff. I was planning to run away while I was with my mother, and go live with Aryn, where we'd hide out until we could move down to Michigan for good.

It was a bad plan. Seriously.

I remember getting to Aryns house after I "ran away", and a good 3 weeks later, my mother and father both showed up. My father flew up just to make sure I was okay.

I ended up going home and continued to move around for a good 2 months before I turned 16 and shut everyone out.

I didn't talk to anyone other than Aryn.

And that's kind of when we came up with the idea to attempt to kill ourselves.
