Prologue
If people would just think before they speak, so many innocent lives could be saved. But no one cares. No one cared about mine. I always wondered what it would be like when I died. I guess I will know now. I thought suicide was the only way out. I was wrong, though. If I had only talked to someone that could’ve helped me, maybe… I don’t know where I am right now. I think I’m somewhere in between. I’m between life and death.
Chapter 1
“Get your ass out of that room right now or I’ll lock you inside of it!”
My mother is a wonderful person, isn’t she? My name is Julia Cindle. Some basic facts about me are that I am 14 years old and pretty average. We’re starting the story a couple of days before it all ended.
“I’m coming.”
“Why is the bathroom not cleaned up yet?”
“I didn’t get to it yet.”
“You’re just a lazy waste of space.”
“Thanks, mom. You really help with my self-esteem issues.”
“Don’t try to be sarcastic with me. I am a fantastic mother. You, on the other hand, are a pathetic loser. I don’t even know why I had you.”
That was the point at which I broke. I went into my room and cried myself to sleep. As I was crying, I wondered why God hates me. I figured he must hate me because there was no other explanation for my horrible life. Other people had called me names before. Names too horrible to repeat. I never thought that my own mother would ever be that cruel to me. That was when I started forming my plan. I tried to figure out which way would be the best to go.
Chapter 2
“Hey, freak show! How’s it going?”
That is Tasha, my arch-nemesis. She hates my guts for some unknown reason. She calls me freak show 24/7. I would be surprised to find out that she was smart enough to remember my name.
“Hello Tasha,” I mumble.
She was part of the reason I decided to off myself. I would finally be rid of her and her brain dead followers.
_________________________
I must be brain damaged. I told my best friend, Emma, what I was planning on doing. This was her response:
“NO! You’re not allowed!”
“How are you going to stop me?”
“I don’t know. I mean, what would I do without you?”
“You’ll find something, I’m sure.”
“You’re just being selfish.”
“SELFISH?! How?”
“Give me a minute and I’ll give you an answer.”
“I’d love to stay and finish this oh-so-fabulous conversation, but I have to go.”
Chapter 3
I had felt unreasonably calm all day. The time had come.
I took some money that I had stashed in my room and paid someone to go buy a gun for me. He was back in about two hours. Neither of us asked any questions.
I was crying before I did it. I don’t know whether it was because I was happy that it would finally be over or because I was sad to leave my life behind.
I wondered what would happen when it was over. What would the afterlife be like? Is there a heaven and a hell? Where would I go? Would anyone even care that I was dead? Would they stop and think about me?
I put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger.
Chapter 4
Do you know what I thought about before I lost consciousness? Tasha. I thought about how pathetic she would be with no one to pick on. I almost felt sorry for her.

“Julia. Julia, wake up.”
“Who are you?”
“My name’s not important.”
The boy was beautiful. He literally glowed. He had wings the size of cars.
“You have to go back, Julia”
“Why? I don’t want to go back. Please don’t make me.”
“It’s not my decision. The doctors will save you. Goodbye.”
“Wait!”
_____________________
Now I’m somewhere in between. Not quite dead, but not completely alive.
“We’re losing her!”
I see a very bright light and feel like I’m moving very fast. Almost like I’m flying.
“She’s lost a lot of blood! Hurry up!”
There is way too much pain for me to possibly be dead.
I guess I survived. I’m too stupid to kill myself properly.
Who was that boy? Did I imagine him or did I really see an angel? I will find out.
I have a second chance. What will happen?
