Katie came home at about 5 pm, storming into her room and started blasting music. She was so upset.

'No one truly cares about me, it must be a cruel joke about this guy Andrew actually thinking about me' thought Katie 'It will always be the same, everyone trying to pull a huge joke on me' Katie sat back on her bed remembering the last couple of weeks.

Katie's thoughts

Katie walked into the cafeteria with her brand new t-shirt from her local jazz favorites. A preppy girl known as Veronika came and whacked Katie's tray sending her open chocolate milk spraying all over her new shirt.

Katie was all excited for the upcoming dance. She was all excited since her crush from 8 years asked her to go, his name was Jim. He was 6 feet tall, had brown hair and blue eyes and always knew the way to make Katie blush. When he arrived she opened the door to get hit with raw eggs all over her new dress she had especially bought for the occasion.

Katie spent everyday hiding from the mean kids from school since they always laughed at her hair, her clothes and anything else they could think of. To her she would never be able to be accepted and she was sick of it.

'I will finish my problems off tomorrow, then no one else can trick or make fun of me' Katie thought that was all was left was to end it all.

Andrew standing unseen in her room looked at Katie with eyes of true concern. He looked up above and prayed to God.

"Please Father, give me enough time to save her from her sadness. She has the wonderful gift of music and she isn't ready to leave yet. Please a little more time" Andrew felt a tear run down his face. Suicides were never the answer and he felt it was going to happen but he didn't know when. He had to act fast.

The next morning Katie arrived bright and early in the band room to find Andrew in her special practice room.

Horrified Katie asked, "What are you doing in here Andrew???"

"Hey Katie, well I have to admit I absolutely love jazz guitar and simply needed to sit down to listen, I've heard you playing in here before and I was hoping to hear some more." Andrew looked at Katie hoping she would respond positively.

"Well.....I don't know.....no one really listens to my music." Katie wanted to accept Andrew for what he seemed to be, but it was truly hard. After a moment of thought Katie decided she would give Andrew a shot "Well, okay Andrew just this once."

Andrew and Katie spent the entire morning together as Andrew had cancelled the morning classes in order to bring some happiness to Katie's life. Andrew even did some jamming with Katie playing some amazing jazz piano accompanying Katie's guitar.

After about 3 hours of playing the bell rang to end the morning.

"Well it has been fun and all Andrew but I really need to be somewhere!"

"But, Katie I was hoping we could..."

Before Andrew could finish his sentence Katie was out of the band room and out of sight.

Andrew looked up to God and he told him what to do.

"I understand Father that I need to be there for Katie no matter what happens"

Katie ran all the way upstairs, everyone else was in the cafeteria so she could be alone upstairs at the edge. The upstairs area opened up to the lower level seating area. Anyone around could look outside the windows or look straight down to see plenty of people during school hours chatting away or studying.

'Now is my chance' thought Katie 'No one will know if I jump now'
