Flashback two weeks earlier
Once Emily got home she sat on her bed as she reread the notes she had wrote to her parents and to her bestfriend. She let out a soft sigh and got off her bed and went down stairs to put on her shoes and coat so she could mail the letter to her best friend.
It only took a few minutes to get to the post office by bike. She took in big intake of air after she mailed the letter and was outside, she thought, there's no going back now. She hoped on to her bike going slow so she could take in the scenery one last time.
Once she got home she took of her shoes and coat and watched the snow fall from the sky. She grabbed the cat food from the shelf next to the refrigerator and poured some in Winter's bowl. She petted the black and white cat once last time and went up stairs to fill the bath tub with water.
When the the bath tub was almost all the full she turned the water off and grabbed the note from her bed and walked down stairs to put it on the kitchen table. She started to walk up the stairs and paused half way and turned around and looked around her childhood home. She let out another soft sigh and turned back around and began her journey back up the stairs.

She put on some old clothes and grabbed the razor blade that she hid from her parents. She stepped into the lukewarm water and slowly pressed the razor into her pale skin. She let out a whimper of pain as the blood started pouring out the long cut on her wrist and arm. Blood dripped into the water as she cut a vertical line on her other arm. She places the razor on the bathtub side and let her arms sink into the water. She leaned her head back against the wall behind her and closed her eyes as the the water turned to a deep dark shade red.

Scarlett and Steve Smith pulled up in their driveway. Seeing her daughter's bike in the garage. Scarlett walked in the living room and called out for her daughter "Emily." She was confused on way her daughter didn't answer back. She walked up the stairs not expecting to see what she was about to see. She knocked on the door of her daughter room. When she got no answer she walked right in. Not seeing her daughter alseep on the bed, she walked over to bath room door stepping in water. "Emily there is water all over the floor." Her mom said before opening the door. She screamed in horror as she saw the body of her only child in the tub filled with bloody water.
Steve ran up the stairs when he heard his wife scream. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his wife holding they're daughter who was not breathing. "Call an ambulance." Scarlett screamed at her husband. Steve nearly fell running to the nearest phone.

Flashback 1 week and 5 days ago
Sara was crying her bedroom. Her face buried in a pillow. She had just found out Emily had killed herself she couldn't believe that the last words she said to her were 'I hate you, I wish I never met you' Sara regretted the words right after she said them. She didn't mean to say it. It was said in the heat of the moment. Mid sob there was a knock on the door. "Go away." She screamed not wanting to see anyone. The door opened anyways. Sara didn't notice until she felt someone sit by her shaking body.
Charlotte rubbed her daughter's arm in effort to try and clam her down. Sara looked up at her mom and then looked down to see what she was holding in her hand. "What's that?" Sara asked sniffling and staring at her mom with her soft brown eyes. Charlotte looked down at her daughter with sadness in her brown eyes. "It's a letter from Emily, she must've mailed it before she died." Charlotte said sadly. Charlotte handed her daughter the letter and said "if you need to talk I'll be in the living room."
"Thanks mom." Sara said giving her mom a small smile. Charlotte returned the smile before walking out of the room. Right as the door closed Sara ripped open the letter.
Dear, Sara
I know you're blaming yourself for my death, please don't. It was my choice not yours. I just wish the last time I saw you ended on a good note. I would've come over to apologize but I knew if I saw you again I wouldn't be able to do what I did. I love you Sara don't you ever forget that.
Always and forever, Emily
Sara was crying even more after reading the note. She layed down after she places the note in her desk. She could feel the tears rolling into her ears, but she could care less. She grabbed the stuffed animal Emily gave her when they were ten. She pulled it even closer to her and cried herself to sleep.

Theo pushed Emily to the ground. She dropped all the books she was carrying. She went to pick them up but he kicked them away. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her up. "You're a worthless piece of shit, why don't you just kill yourself, nobody likes you anyway and Sara only pity's you." He said then pushing her so hard that she hit her head up against lockers and her head started to bleed.
