Marie's Pov*
----------------------
Me and Alex were on our phones watching tv until something caught Alex's attention
Alex:Ooo look what happened.
He said pointing to the t.v
I put my head up.
News reporter: looks like a 17 year old unknown girl has committed suicide,and jumped off the new jersey bridge.The body has yet not been identified but we send prayers for her family.
Alex:damn...
Me:wow...
Ring ring*
Alex:oh shoot I gotta go,my mom needs me home.
Me:oh,ok bye.
Alex:bye love you.
He says giving me a kiss on the cheek and then leaving.
I let out a sigh.
I decided to call Ashley,we haven't talked in a while.
I put the phone to my ear and waited for her to answer.
After 30 seconds no answer.
Me:hmm...maybe she's busy.
I told myself.
Then the doorbell rung.
I walked up to the door and saw two detectives.
Me:uhh hi,may I help you?
Detective:Hi,are you Marie Alvarez?
Me:yes...whose asking.
Detective: well...we're very sorry too tell you but,do you know a women by the name of Ashley lovelace?
Me:y-ya she's my best friend.
Detective:well...she has committed suicide,she jumped off the new jersey bridge.
My heart dropped.
Me:w-what...
Detective:we tried contacting her mother but it she hasn't answered our calls and we went to her house and still didn't answer.
Me:oh...
Detective:the witness told us this journal was for Marie.
He pulls out a journal with Ashley's name on it.
He hands it to me.
Detective:We already did the investigating so we don't need the journal.
Detective:oh and were sorry for your lost...
I nodded and they walked off and left
I closed the door and ran to my room opening the journal.I skipped a couple pages until one caught my attention.
Dear diary...
12/7/2019
I fee so helpless...why cant the pain just go away...I can't handle this anymore.I just wanna be happy,but I know if I die,my mom and Marie would be heart broken...even tho I've only known Marie for 2 weeks...she's really brightend my life.She's like a sister figure...
If anyone is reading this...just know if I didn't make it,if I lost my battle,just know that I'm finally happy...with my daddy.
Love Ashley.
This was the last page if her diary...
I can't believe I never noticed...
I started sobbing.
I should've been there for her,I've shouldve listened I should've looked at the signs...
But it's to late...she's gone.
