Suicide
Two days ago in the middle of working on my AP Literature homework, my dad calls me upstairs. He sits me down next to my mom with a serious face.
“I just got a call from Danielle from church. Becky had been missing for about two hours. She committed suicide…” my dad told us.
Just the thought of death is something I don’t wish to talk about but the fact that someone I knew, someone close to me had left me for good just scared me.
Death. The only things I have ever become so emotional about were my great grandmothers, my dog, my grandfather and now Becky.
And for that matter: suicide. Suicide is the most selfish thing in the world. The fact that someone thinks that their life is not worth living and that others will not care confuses me.
Becky was depressed but never showed it. Every time I saw her, she was always smiling and making sure my theatre and band activities were keeping up. During the holidays, she would make different things to make people go “awww” when they saw them.
She must have been so lonely and scared about what she may have to do. I still don’t understand why she did it but there must have been a reasoning behind it. Whatever the reasoning was, I hope she found it under the water where she was discovered.
Someone will always care for you. No matter if you leave someone with infinite amounts of debt, someone will still care for you. If you feel like everyone around you does not like you, in fact someone still will care about you.
Rest in Peace Becky Herring wherever you may be.
