Henry's POV
I had woken up feeling not too good. But what's new? This is always how I feel. Empty and wanting to die. It's the only reason why I became my dad's sidekick. My dad is Captain Man, Swellveiw's indestructible superhero. I thought that this would end my suffering. News flash: it hasn't. I haven't told ANYONE, not even my two best friends, Jasper and Charlotte. And not even Phoebe and Max Thunderman, my two other friends. I feel like everyone just... Ignores me and I don't feel like I am not validated for anything that I do. I feel like dad just doesn't see what my interests are or some other shit that I do. I don't even think that he cares about my feelings or will love me anymore because of my sexuality. And that I have a crush on Max Thunderman or on Max's hot friend Wolfgang. I dream of being fucked into oblivion by Max. I am a bottom. And am very extremely kinky. But anyway, I might have snuck out because I felt like dad or uncle Schwoz doesn't even notice me or what I can actually do. I don't even think that they even care whether or not that I do so much for them and for Swellview. I am cutting exactly twenty or so cuts on my arm and then switching to the other arm in the hopes that I might actually die from it. I have written a suicide note for my dad, Jasper, Charlotte, Uncle Schwoz, Max and Phoebe. I've put my note somewhere my dad will find it in an unlikely place. Underneath my bed.
Ray's POV
I was talking to Schwoz about Henry's recent odd behaviors and about him always mysteriously running off. I am deeply worried about him. I've called Jasper and Charlotte and asked them if they've seen him or anything of the like and that they both told me no. I know that they always cover Henry's back if he's ever in trouble with me. I somehow juggled with being there for Henry after his mother had killed herself when Henry was nine weeks old. I am afraid that Henry has depression and is extremely suicidal. I can't lose him. And I know that he is gay, but I don't care if he likes boys or girls or whatever as long as he is happy, healthy, and safe. Then I don't care what he does. But if he is harming himself and is in a bad mental or physical place, then I need to interviene and help him get the help that he needs. "Ray, do you know where he could possibly have gone to?" Asked Schwoz. "No, I don't. Henry never tells me anything. And that I only know very few places that he is known to go to." I said. Dread feeling in the pits of my stomach. "We need to find him. Does he have any crushes that he frequently talks to you about?" Asked Schwoz. "No one. He doesn't talks to me about anything like that. I just hope that he isn't being bullied at school and if he is, being bullied at school or anything like that." I said. "And if he is being bullied, Ray, I'll help you get the bully." Said Schwoz, darkly. "I'll look in his room and find remotely anything that might be either a suicide note or anything like that. I just hope that we will find Henry alive and in good shape. I don't want him to be dead like his mother." I said.
No One's POV
Ray went upstairs, to Henry's room as it was right next to Ray's and next door to the bathroom. Ray searched everywhere. But thought of looking underneath Henry's bed. Lo and behold, Ray found Henry's suicide note. The note read:
Dear dad, Phoebe, Max, Jasper, Charlotte, and Uncle Schwoz,
If any of you are reading this, then it means that I've successfully killed myself. And please forget about me and move on. I guess that since I am, hopefully, dead. That I should tell you everything how I really feel. Ok, so I have a crush on you, Max Thunderman and that means that I am gay. I know that you won't like me back or even care that I am dead. And Phoebe, Jasper, Charlotte, Max, you all were great friends to me. And that I am getting bullied and that I hope that my death will make you all, including you, dad and Uncle Schwoz, happy now that I'm dead. I feel like none of you really cared that I have done so much for you or that I don't feel like I am being validated for everything that I have or had done for all the things that I did. And the only reason why I became your sidekick, dad, was because I thought it would get me killed or hurt me so much that it would kill me. I haven't felt anything since I was eight(?). I don't know when I felt this extreme sadness. I thought that you all didn't cared about how I felt or what I said or did.
Well, this is goodbye, possibly forever seeing that by the time you'll ever see me alive ever again or hear my voice if I do decide to call either of you. Especially you, Dad and Uncle.
Sincerely,
Henry Manchester.

Ray was crying at reading every last bit of the letter. Ray was starting to realize that it had gone on way longer than he had originally thought. Ray rushed to Schwoz and showed him the suicide letter. Schwoz was crying silently at what he was reading. "W-what will we do next, Ray?" Asked Schwoz, as his voice was breaking. "Find him and hope that he's alive and that he'll return home. But right now, I need to go find out exactly who has been bullying my son and to, scare him off. No one messes with my son and gets away with it. And I may need to help him win over either Max Thunderman or this Wolfgang kid's heart." Said Ray. Schwoz nodded. Henry had not decided on where exactly he'll end his life at. "Maybe inside of my school, in the gym or in a classroom? Or maybe as someplace where some individual will find my body lying in a park or some other place. I also don't want to go out without a- That's it! I can explode myself and that away I can die and not have to worry about anyone to stop me from dying or prevent me from killing myself because I could make a bomb to only kill me and no one else. I can see everyone would want to see me die in a great big explosion." Said Henry to himself. After Henry had used his secret stash of cash that he had saved up which was well over 7,000 dollars. He could feasible buy a lot of the stuff to get all of the things that he would need to make a bomb to only kill himself with. And after that, he was would wear the bomb and to go out in public and tell them or whoever and tell them to not get too close or he'll detonate it and that he'll only kill himself once he pushed the button as it would be pressure-sensitive.
