Chapter 1: Suicide Attempt

Mac was a very happy go lucky kid who loved going to Foster's every day after school. There, he would find Bloo and all his friends, Wilt, Coco and Eduardo.

But as he grew up, he noticed that his friends were behaving strangely. They were often giving him the silent treatment or are ignoring him.

One cloudy day, Mac went to Foster's as usual hoping to find Bloo. But he wasn't there. After wandering around the house to look for Bloo, Mac finally found him in his room. Only to find Bloo angrily throwing darts at a crudely drawn picture of Mac with devil horns. Above the drawing said, 'Traitor.'

Mac went up to Bloo and asked, "Bloo, what is wrong with you. Bloo turned to Mac angrily and said, "What is wrong with me? You are the one who is wrong with me!" Mac gasped, "What is wrong with me? What did I ever do to you?"

"You think! You act like if I am your best friend! But no. You will forget me. When children are still young, we would think that they will remember us for life. But when they grow up, they will eventually forget about us," replied Bloo.

"What? No, that's not true! Even Madame Foster would not forget about her imaginary friend, Mr Herriman," retorted Mac.

Suddenly, Wilt, Coco and Eduardo arrived, defended Bloo. Wilt said, "I'm sorry, but Bloo has a point. You will eventually forget about us." "Si," said Eduardo. "Co-Co," said Coco.
"Mac, just get out of our sight. We don't want you anymore. So go jump in front of a bus or leap off from a building," said Bloo angrily. "Yeah!" said Eduardo and Wilt together. Upset at this, Mac ran away from Bloo's room and out of Foster's with tears producing in his eyes.

Without turning back, Mac finally made it to his apartment into his room, flung himself on his bed and cried softly into his pillow. As he was crying, his older brother Terrence placed his head in his room yelled, "Stop crying, dork. I'm playing Super Mario on my Nintendo!" Then he went back into the living room.

Mac just ignored at what Terrence had said and continued crying. After ten minutes, Mac thought, 'If they want me gone, then so be it.'

He got out a piece of paper and started to write a note to tell his former friends that he was going to commit suicide.

Then, he placed the note on his desk and ran out of his apartment and onto the sidewalks. As he was walking on the sidewalks, he saw there were a lot of cars, lorries, vans and buses driving along the road. This gave Mac an idea; to jump in front of a bus.

Mac saw a huge bus coming from far away. He waited for the right time for the bus to come. When it was approaching, he jumped right in front of the bus and was sent flying into the air. Then he landed to the ground.

As Mac's vision was becoming blurry, the last thing he heard was frantic shouts for help. Then, his vision went black.
