“Your story ended, so I will rewrite it.”
Hey. This story contains suicide.
I didn't have the exact words "Your story ended, so I will rewrite it."
I wrote it, and didn't know where to put it without interupting the flow.
The version I have fits better, I think.
I just kinda let this guy out.
Also I like the pairof names, Milo and Albert (Al). They might appear in future stories.
This is one hundred percent fictional.
He looks up. He swallows an antidepressant. He tries to stay positive.
He wakes up at exactly 6:00 AM.
He gets dressed. By then, it's 6:10.
He takes his pills. 6:15.
He eats breakfast. 6:40
He walks to school. 7:00
He's there until 2:30.
He walks home. 2:50.
He Does his homework. 3:30.
His father gets home. 3:35.
His father screams at him until 4:00.
He cries until roughly 4:15.
He showers. 4:30.
He practices his guitar. 5:00.
His mother gets home. 5:10.
He helps her cook dinner. 6:00.
They eat. 6:30.
He gets his bag ready for the morning. 6:45.
He makes sure his room is pristene. 7:00.
He sleeps.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Every day.
Until he talks to his father.
This is where Andrew's story begins.
It's 3:30. His medicine has worn off, and he has finished his homework. He is ready to talk to his father.
3:05. Time is flying. His father walks into the door. He starts to scream.
Then, Andrew yells back.
He gets hit.
Andrew is furious.
This was a break in routine.
Andrew broke his routine to try and help his father.
And got hit for this.
He shakes his head, then storms off to his room.
He cries, and wonders when his father will realise what he has done.
Tonight, he broke routine again. This time, he is awake until midnight, and his internal clock is ticking deafeningly.
He hides his father's alcohol, and then goes to sleep.
He goes to sleep.
The next morning, He continues his routine, but instead, he runs to school, getting there at 6:50, and tells his friend what he has done. Milo Is surprised, but he's also proud of andrew. Andrew goes home, and is mentally abused for even longer today, and his guitar is smashed.
Now, for Milo's home life.
Milo has a morning routine, too, but it's a lot less orderly. Wake up, eat, goto school. His mom drives him, and he's usually at school way before andrew is.
Andrew goes to school the next morning at 7:00. The right side of his face is severely bruised, and his arms are too. He avoided Milo all day.
At 2:30, when school lets out, Milo follows Andrew home, and hides. He had already told his dad where he would be, so that was taken care of.
Andrew, unaware of his stalker, completes his regular routine as normal, except for, thereis some alcohol on the table, and Andrew can be seen downing a few pill bottles.
Two days later, Andrew's funeral was held.
A couple of weeks after the funeral, Milo had succeeded in putting Andrews father in Jail for second degree murder.
Milo goes on to be a lawyer, and His brother, Al, becomes an author.
Al was also close to andrew. He tells his story.
Andrews father went to prison for 21 years. He got out and disappeared.
Andrew,
Your story is over.
So let me rewrite it.
-Al.
Al wrote this on a sticky note inside a diary that was later discovered.
