Warning: death and suicidal thoughts ahead

Charming's POV

I was getting worried about Ella, she's still refusing to take a break. She's been pushing herself and working on her homework that isn't due for another month, but even then when she completes all of her homework she'll write or find something to work on. I didn't know how to stop her and get her to take a break for once. She'll start her day at four or five am, and go to bed, if at all, at three am. I tried to distract her, but it doesn't work. I've taken her to the zoo, but she stared off into space the whole time. I didn't know what would work to snap her out of this.

I walked down the hallway to Ella's dorm. Once I got there, I knocked softly on the dark brown, wooden door. "One minute." I could hear Ella say. I then heard shuffling and Ella appeared at the door. "Oh, hey." She said when she spotted me.

"Are you okay, you've been more...distant lately." I commented.

"Yeah, just been busy with homework." She tried to reassure me and smiled a little. "I would say come in, but I'm not quite sure what the school would think of a girl and boy in the same dorm. So, if you want to talk for a bit, we could take a walk in the gardens," she told me. I nodded in approval, and we started walking.

"Honey, I know that you feel like your heart has been ripped out with what happened to Lilly. But, you shouldn't distant yourself like this. Can you promise me that you'll do other things besides homework," I begged her.

She hesitated before telling me, "I can try, no promises though."

"Trying will be fine for now." I told her with a gentle smile on my face. I stopped walking and pulled her close to me. "I love you so much and I don't want to see you in this much pain." I told her, before connecting our lips.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was five weeks since she said she'll try to not be as distant. It worked in the beginning, but now she was being distant again. She hasn't come out of her room now for 35 hours. Her roommates said she's just been on her bed, sleeping, starting at the ceiling, or working on homework. To make matters worse, her father had gotten deathly ill. She was afraid he didn't have much longer, I was very worried for her.

I was now laying on my bed, trying to get rest without success. My mind kept wandering back to Ella. I was very concerned for her, I didn't know if she was going to hang on for long. Little did I know, that she wasn't going to hang on.

Ella's POV

The pain was so awful, I couldn't bring myself to do much. My loving, sweet sister, gone. My amazing sweet father, about gone. He hadn't been feeling well, but didn't say anything. He ended up having an illness so bad, he was on the bed of death. I forgot what exactly the sickness was, from the shockness of hearing he probably wouldn't make it. I sobbed into my pillow, I didn't know how much longer I could take it.

'End it now.' Something hissed into my head, 'It won't be too bad, just end it now.'

My sobs slowed down and I asked out loud, "W-who are you?" Still sniffing from the sobs.

'I am you, just a different part than you know." It hissed again, "Jump from one of the top floors. It won't be too bad.' I nodded my head and sluggishly got out of my bed. It felt weird moving around again, but it was like my body was on autopilot. I slowly walked around the school. I walked out of the school and went into my car. I drove a little while before an abandoned building appeared in my vision. It used to be a factory, but was shut down for an unknown reason.

I parked and got out of my car. I walked into the building and to the top floor. I walked into one of the many rooms, then got closer to one of the windows. There was shattered glass lying on the floor near the window. It crunched under my feet as I walked over it to get to the window. I hesitated before I took a step onto the window.

'Very good,' The voice hissed. I took a step out of the window preparing for the fall, when I felt a hand on the collar of my shirt who then yanked me to safety. I saw a boy in their early twenties in front of me. He had rust colored hair and forest green eyes. He smiled mischievously at me, before wrapping his hands around my throat.

"I'd rather murder you, than see you kill yourself. It's more fun this way." He told me casually, before squeezing his hands tighter. I choked, trying to gasp for air without success.

'Well you're still getting death.' The voice commented, as I was struggling for air. He then squeezed as tightly as he could, smiling evilly. He was starting to giggle insanely. The edges of my vision were starting to go black. A couple minutes later I passed out.

Third person's POV

No one found Ella, she categorized as a missing person. All her friends were destroyed, especially Charming. Her father died only a few weeks after Ella's death. Charming and the others finished school, and got jobs. Ella would always be in the back of their minds though.

An: I know it isn't the longest book and y'all probably hate how I ended it. But I don't regret it. *laughs evilly*
