A Quick Pick-Me-Up

by Vanilla_shark

Summary:

16-year-old Clay has hit rock bottom. He made a plan, a plan to kill himself two months from now. Nothing was gonna change his mind. No one was going to stop him, especially not his strange neighbor, who seemed to hate him no matter what he did.

Chapter 1: 0 - Rock Bottom

   "Clay, what are you doing with your life?" my coach asks. 

   No one had ever asked me that before. What am I doing with my life?

   "I don't know."

   "That's not an acceptable answer. You can't just bedrot all day and expect things to go the way you want!" 

   I hate my life.

   There's no point.

   It's all futile.

   I'll be dead soon anyways.

   Wether that's tomorrow or next week or in a couple of years—I'm going to die.

  I want to die.

  "I'm sorry."

   "You should be! You're failing your classes, and I have no choice but to kick you off the  team!"

   Okay. Cool.

   I don't care about baseball.

   It'll all be over soon.

   "Get your grades up. Maybe you'll be able to make the team again next year."

   Fuck, no. I don't even want to try.

   "Yes, Coach."

   And with that, he was stormed away. The room went silent. I couldn't feel anything anymore. Nothing brought me joy.

  The only person I had ever truly loved was gone. And she isn't  coming back. She is dead. She is dead. She is dead.

  My mom is dead.
