Open your eyes

by Ashley   Jan 22, 2005


One day when my brother got home from school he had tears in his eyes and I asked him why he had been crying. He said he was teased, beat up, and laughed at. All because he was different then the other kids. I said oh and went to bed. The next day the same thing happened…I just ignored it though. Then the next day he asked me to help him, I told him to stand up for himself. Finally it was Friday, the day I could go to my friends house and forget about my crybaby brother. That day I got home and I didn’t see my brother…he was in his room. So once I was done putting my school stuff down n changing my clothes, I walked to my friends house. We had so much fun on Friday and Saturday. But on Sunday my world stopped….

My mom called me and told me to come home right away, with a hint of sadness in her voice. So I had my friends mom drive me home once I got off the phone. Once I pulled up in the drive way I was so scared I saw the police and the fire department at my house! As I walked threw the door I saw my little bro, he was on a stretcher, dead! He had hung himself that day! Right in my room! And I didn’t even see it coming! He also left a note….

Dear Ashley,
I love you so much you mean the world to me. I’m sorry you hated me and I’m sorry you didn’t love me. There where kids at school who hurt me everyday, and when I came home you where the only one who could make me happy! But this last week you made me cry, because you didn’t care about me. That was when I realized that life wasn’t worth it anymore. I killed myself today because you weren’t home and I knew you wouldn’t care. Although I didn’t want you to be there. There is just one thing more I have to say,
I love you, but why couldn’t you see me hurting inside?, love always,
Your little bro for life,
Zachary.

When I read that I cried so hard I about died! Now I realize I should open my eyes and hear it when people cry. Before this I couldn’t care, but now I’m always going to be there. So once you’ve read this look into all you friends eyes and make sure that there never want to commit suicide.

*i know this is more of a story, but please read, rate and comment anyways.*
