Connor's POV:
"Hey, Connor. Your mom sent you a letter. It says it's from your sister Zoe," Derek said and I went up and grabbed it. I sat back down and opened it up.
"Dear Connor,
How could you do this? Did you think of Mom? Did you think of Dad? Did you think of me? You just…. Connor, when I heard, I acted mad but it really, really hurt. We've always been together, but now we're a million worlds apart. I tried to not care,I really did…. But the thing is, I can't. Connor, I need for you to care about yourself as much as I care about you. Connor, please try to get better. Not for me, not for Mom, but for yourself. Okay, I'm going to end this here, but please think about what I said.
Zoe."
I sat there after reading it, not believing what I read. Maybe Zoe does care. Maybe I should get better.
Author's Note
So, that was a short chapter, but I've just been thinking a lot about how I felt when I found out someone I cared about attempted. And, really how people who care about me felt. Um, yeah.
School's been up and down and I had a bad week, but I'm getting back to it.
Anyways, as always send your mental health / hospital questions and your reviews of this story. Here are the new ones I've gotten:
Anonymous:Thanks. I love this fic. I probably shouldn't be reading it because I've attempted suicide before and I have anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, but I really like it. it is very accurate, so thank you!
My Response: I'm so glad you enjoy this! I believe that you can get better, and I hope this story will show that as it goes along.
Guest: :o wo
Evan doesn't s-stutter l-like this
he repeats words smh
as somebody who has the same problems as him seeing the musical twice (ha, bootlegs)
he, yeah- he just repeats words?...
My Response: I did shorten this, but thank you so much for the advice! I read the first line from the notification and I got scared to read it. xD But I did and it was a very helpful message.
Hamiltronthelegendarymusical: I love this story and (having depression alot) it makes me think. Still, keep up the good work!
My Response: I'm so happy you love this story! Depression sucks and I hope this story makes you think in a good way. (P.S. I love the username)
A fan:What instrument do you play in band? I'm in a junior high band and I play alto saxophone, but I'm not very good at it.
My Response: I also play the alto saxophone! I'm in 8th grade, and I'm not the best either. All it takes is hard work and dedication. My band director says this a lot: "A good musician will practice until they don't make the mistake, a great musician will practice until they never make the same mistake again."
Percabeth Brason: Hi Wow! I really hope you continue this. It's very well written. Thank you!
My Response: Hi! Thank you so much! I hope you continue to read this.
