Tomoe's POV:

Ugly…

You should die…

You're a freak…

I don't know why anyone would be friends with you…

These notes… Why did you keep them hidden from us? Why didn't you tell us anything? Why…

Standing at your locker, seeing all those horrible words… it makes me wonder just what you were going through. How long has this been going on for? How did you hide it so well?

I couldn't do anything but stare. I couldn't begin to count the number of notes I saw. It looked like they were the only thing in your locker. Why… why wouldn't you say a word to us…?

You left me here… so unexpected

Himari's POV:

That girl is dead? Good. She deserved it.

Yeah. What a freak. I'm glad she's gone.

These people… are they the reason you did it? Their words hurt me. Hurt all of us. To think people like this were hurting you and we didn't know…

Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you show any signs of suffering? We would've helped you. It wouldn't have had to end this way. If you would've just told us… none of this would've happened.

Is it our fault? Did you give us a sign and we just missed it? These words I hear… were they worse when you were alive?

You changed my life… I hope you know

Tsugumi's POV:

You should die!

You know they don't care about you!

Freak!

You're a weirdo. No one likes people like you!

These messages on your account… they're old. Some are almost a year old. You've been dealing with this for so long. And we never noticed a thing. How could you hide this? How could you pretend to be alright when people were telling you these things?

I wanted to reply to them all. To yell at them. To tell them how horrible they are. But, all I could do was stare at them as tears fell down my face.

Even if I did yell at them, what would it do? You're gone. You can't come back. It won't change anything…

'Cause now I'm lost… so unprotected

Moca's POV:

Here lies Ran Mitake

You will never be forgotten

It feels so surreal. I'm standing before your grave… it's not a dream. This is reality. You're gone. Gone because of what other people said. Gone because we didn't notice.

I screamed as I punched the ground. Why? Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't you have just told us? We could've fixed this.

And now… you're gone… gone forever…

It hurts. It hurts so much… I can't believe this is the end… it wasn't meant to be this way. We were supposed to stay together till the end. The end wasn't meant to come this early…

Oh I miss you now… I wish you could see

Just how much your memory… will always mean to me

Ran's POV:

"Why don't you just die? I'm sure everyone would be better off if that was the case."

Another day… more of those same words. I blankly stared at the girl who said it. If I died… would it truly be better?

I found myself walking up to the roof. My feet carried me there. Before I knew it, I was standing at the fence, staring down at the courtyard below. It was empty. Most students had left already.

If I jumped… would it hurt? Would I die?

I found myself climbing over the railing. My body was moving on its own. But, it wasn't like I really wanted to stop it. I trusted it knew what to do. To make this all end, I just had to jump. Then everything would be better. They'd be happier. No one would have to deal with me.

"R-Ran!"

A voice cried out. They continued to scream my name. I knew I didn't have much time before they would grab me and stop me. I had to do it now.

"I'm sorry…" I whispered, not caring if they could hear me, "It's for the best I die…"

With that, I let go and fell. I heard them scream my name again, this time louder and a lot more panicked. It was too late. They couldn't reach me. I was already falling.

There was a moment of pain, and then it was over.

Yukina's POV:

"I'm sorry… it's for the best I die…"

I still remember that day… those words you said. I was too late. You were gone before I could do anything.

I heard some girls laughing, saying you had gone to the roof to die. I didn't know what to think of it… but, I went to check to make sure. I truly didn't think you were doing it. And yet… I walked out and saw you over the railing.

I had called out your name, but you didn't look behind. I didn't think you had heard me, but when you said those words, I knew you had. If I had been a second earlier, I could've saved you. You were just inches out of my reach.

I failed… and it hurts…

I don't remember what happened next. But, Lisa told me I had tried to kill those girls. I don't know if that's true, but I don't doubt it. They had done that to you. I still wish I could've finished the job, but… Lisa stopped me. At least, that's what she told me.

The only thing I remember is seeing your body. Lisa asked me what was wrong after she pulled me off of the girls. I didn't say a word. I just ran outside. I fell to my knees as I saw you. I still can see that image. It haunts me.

I think I passed out after that. It's all black until I remember waking up in my bed. I had thought it was all a dream, but when I saw Lisa's face, I knew it wasn't.

I had to tell her what happened. She hadn't heard those girls. She didn't know what had happened. It was hard to tell her. But, I did. None of us are the same. Not with you gone.

Shine on… shine on

On to a better place...

DIVIDER--

Lisa's POV:

I don't know what happened. I don't know what you were going through. But, I know the outcome.

That day is still fresh in my memory. Going to find Yukina, seeing her trying to kill someone. I was scared. Just what could make her snap like that? I pulled her off of the girl.

When I asked her what was wrong, she just ran away. I chased after her. I realized she hadn't been avoiding my question.

Seeing you there. Your broken body, your blood, your... peaceful expression. It was filled with pain, but yet, it looked peaceful too. Like you knew the fate that awaited you. I remember blanking out, unable to think. I only came back when I heard more screams.

People had noticed. I turned to Yukina, but she wasn't really there. She was spaced out. She didn't notice the screams. She was in her own world. I tapped her on the shoulder, hoping to snap her out of her daze, but it didn't work.

Then, she just went limp. I panicked and shook her, but she didn't wake up. I calmed a little and realized why. She had seen so much. I knew then that she had seen something I hadn't. I later learned it was that she saw you jump.

I struggled, but got her home. I remember texting the others, telling them practice was canceled. They didn't know. No one but us two knew out of the five of us. When they asked why, I had to explain. I didn't know what to say.

It still felt so surreal. You were dead. I had seen your body. I wanted it to be a dream, but it wasn't. You're truly gone. It was tough to come to terms with that.

I just can't believe it…

In the blink of an eye…

We never got to say goodbye...
