Why Did She Do It

Keep breathing Don’t let him know your pain Keep walking Though things will never be the same Keep smiling Don’t let them know the real you Keep positive Don’t let negativity slide through Keep pretending Because everyone expects you to Tyler looked at Stefani in concern. She had been acting slightly….off lately. She was always smiling and laughing, just like she had done before, but for some reason it all seemed sorta fake. Tyler shook off these thoughts, telling himself it was nothing, and went to class. Halfway through, Tyler heard a message on the speakers: “Students, we are very sorry to inform you that your fellow student and friend Stefani has killed herself in hallway B-7. We ask you to please avoid that hallway and if your locker is there we will take care of it.” Tyler gasped and fell to the floor as the news hit him. She had actually gone through with it. He knew she had been thinking about it for sometime but it had mostly just been for show. And now she was gone. Forever. He would never see her again. And he knew, deep down,, that it was his fault.
