Author's Note: Yeah, I've been gone a while. And I'm pissed off. Read the story, and then the author's note. I'll explain there.

Blood, pouring down off of his face. His nose is broken, he can feel it. Why? Why did people treat him this way? He wasn't that different. Just because he wanted a man instead of a woman. Why?

A blow to the stomach. Why? The physical pain doesn't measure up to the emotional pain. He didn't do anything to them. He didn't even really know them. Why?

Spots in his vision. What made them think they had the right to do that? Why was this okay to them? Why wasn't anyone stopping it? Why?

Darkness takes over. Why were these figures dressed in black doing this? Why did they think he deserved this? Why were they yelling, "Die, dyke!"

Bright white light flashes over head. Why? Why did he have to die because of one simple difference?

Why?

Author's Note: Why must I post such a depressing story? Here's my story right now: You all remember Jake, right? If not, go to my other one-shots or my profile. Well, the people at my school don't get the message. Bullying is WRONG. Yes, taking someone else's life is WRONG. Telling other people they don't deserve to live is WRONG. I don't understand what's so hard about that. But the people at my school took Jake's suicide as a positive thing, thinking, Well, we got rid of one fag, let's get rid of the rest! This ^ is a true story. Now, there aren't many openly gay kids at my school. There used to be six. Now there's only four. Why, you may ask? Because people at my school. They're close-minded, prejudice jerks who believe everything the Westboro Church has to say (Google it if you don't know what that means).

Anyway, last Friday night after our football game, three guys took a gay guy from our school named Tyler behind the school and proceeded to be jerks and beat the life out of him. He was in a coma for a day, and died late Saturday night. I won't be surprised if you don't hear about it on the news, his mom doesn't really want anyone to know about it (she's big on privacy and refuses to let anyone tell the story of Tyler. Her daughter told me she doesn't want it being told wrong 0_o). But I'm not keeping it a secret, and I'm sick of bullying. So, go read about my Anti-bullying campaign on my profile.

Sorry for getting everyone down again, and thank you, all of those who have emailed or private messaged, or reviewed to tell me that you're here for me.
