Molly was walking home, it was a normal Monday evening and the sky was its usual shade of blue in the middle of summer. Molly was enjoying the heat that was beaming down on her face it made her feel safe and her mind was at ease.
Molly spotted her best friend Rosie walking towards her, they had been best friends for seven years and were inseparable. Rosie was acting rather strangely and barely said 2 words to molly on their journey home. Molly was unaware of the troubles her best friend was facing and how much she was truly hurting.
When Rosie got home she went straight upstairs and sat alone for hours in the corner of her room crying, she felt like the whole world was against her and she felt she had no one to turn to, the only thought running through her head was that she deserved it all. Everything everyone ever said to her was running through her head and even though to them what seemed like a little bit of harmless banter wasn't so harmless anymore. She began to believe that even her family and best friend thought badly of her too, no one thought long and hard about the serious damage they was causing to her self-esteem and self-respect.
Rosie was fighting a losing battle to depression and as she lay there while her bath slowly filled up with scolding hot water staring at her bottle of anti-depressants she could only think about swallowing the lot, but she felt she didn't have the strength or courage to do so.
Molly couldn't help but lay awake and worry about Rosie she had a best friend gut feeling that something was seriously wrong with her, she wanted to pick up the phone and call her but she thought that she may just need a little bit of space to clear her head.
Rosie reached for her phone as that little voice that was telling her to give in won, Rosie didn't want to deal with the pain she always felt anymore, feeling like nothing wasn't what she wanted anymore, her mind was made up and there was no changing it.
Molly heard her phone go off but little did she know it was a goodbye message from her best friend and her world was about to be turned upside down.
The message read…
'molly' you're my best friend and the first person I thought of when thinking about this and even though you mean the world to me it's not enough to change my mind, so I'm sorry to do this to you but I can no longer go on in life I haven't told you before because I didn't want to worry you but for the last year I've been suffering from serious depression because of how messed up my life got, the things that people have said to me have been running through my head the last few days and I sit and cry in the corner of my room and while these pills are going to relieve me from my pain they are going to take me out of your life and I want you to know that I'm going to miss you more than anyone else, I am really sorry to do this to you but I hope that one day you will forgive me, I will always love you and I'm going to miss you but this is goodbye.
