Today is the day, I've finally found it. I've finally found a fool-proof way to end my never-ending hell. I've finally found a way to be forever reunited with my happiness that was taken from me before it was time. I'm finally going to leave my nightmares and the hell that I've lived through for the past sixteen years behind, for a new and beautiful paradise. I will finally see the best friends that I had lost, all because of two stupid assholes who couldn't control their anger. This will be the final chapter of my life, so to you and to the rest of the world I bid a not so fond farewell.

TEEN BOY KILLS HIMSELF AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING
Seventeen year old Richard Grayson was found dead in his bedroom yesterday with a gunshot wound to his right temple. Our sources say that the boy had been troubled for some time with an unidentifiable problem that no one seemed to have the answer to. He was later diagnosed with an irreversible depressive-like state that ultimately took over him until he could no longer live with it. "He was such a beautiful child. What could have troubled him so much that he ended up dead from it?" asked Cynthia Mathers, the boy's elderly neighbor. Clues about the boy's death later surfaced, saying that he was not murdered, but that he killed himself. There will be a small funeral at Holy Trinity Church on Sunday for those who would like to say their final good-byes and wish the family well.

My name is Cole Logan, and I was a classmate of the late Rich Grayson (we all called him Rich, short for Richard.) Everyone else knew Rich as a gothic head case that needed to be locked up in the psych ward, but I knew him as just someone who had different tastes than everyone else. You see, I, too am gothic, but not as dark as Rich was. He had the whole chains, dark eyeliner, razor-to-wrists, black nail polish wardrobe that made him the prime target for football players, cheerleaders, and pretty much everyone in the school.
The thing that set him over the edge was the death of his best friend Raven Roberts and later the death of CJ Hathaway. They brought with them the gift of life, of love, and, most importantly, the gift of friendship into Rich's life. After the student body heard about his death, no one but the other gothic kids felt the loss was of importance. We all plan to go to his funeral, and pay our respects, and let him know that there were people out there who cared about him, even if they didn't say anything or reach out to help him in his time of need.
