I walked along a broken path that lead to my broken home, suitcase rattling behind me as I walked. The wind blowing my hair slightly to the right as I walked. He probably hated me for leaving like I did but I couldn't bear to see him like that anymore. The pain in my heart was so unreal I nearly doubled over, but I kept walking. My posture was anything but nice, as I drug my useless body down the road. People from my past stood and watched me with a look of pure disgust. Some even had the dignity to spit at my feet, but I kept walking without looking up. I only stopped once when a man in his mid twenties came up and pushed me to the ground while yelling cruel words at me. I replied by getting up and walking away, not wanting to look him in the eye I kept my head low. When I finally got home I walked right past it. I couldn't do this, I was done with this unnecessary drama. As I walked people followed, when I picked up my pace they did the same. It was then that I knew what I had to do. I dropped my suitcase to the rocky ground, I tore off down the road, my heart pounding in my ears as I ran. They chased me the entire way, screaming at me to go back from where I came. It was as I was running across the bridge that hung over the same river that lead me to believe that I had talent just 13 or so years ago. It was were I had seen my first visitor.

" WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!" I screamed at them. They were taken back by my sudden anger.
" for you to leave!" One of them yelled
" CANT YOU SEE THAT I CANT!" I yelled again. Sadness was taking over my body now as tears poured from my eyes.
" yeah and whys that?!" He yelled.
" Because, I came here to get away from him!"
" whos 'him'?" He bellowed
" The only man Ill ever love but cant be with!" I screamed as I walked to the edge of the bridge.
" PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME BE!" I yelled before breaking down into sobs. My body shook and crumpled to the ground. Whatever light left inside me flickered out as I got up onto the edge of the bridge looking down at the river several yards below. I would never survive this if I jumped. I heard people screaming at me from behind to get off. I turned to them and screamed the last words Ill ever say. " ISNT THIS WHAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED?!?!FOR ME TO GO! WELL FINE THEN!" I turned around and their screaming got louder as I got closer to the edge.























And I jumped.........
