Well THAT is one hell of a story, and you, the person that is reading this note that\u0026nbsp;I hastily scribbled on a lined piece of paper, are about to find out.\n\nYou see I was dating this girl that I Loved with all my heart.\u0026nbsp; My friends had got us together during high school, and we sort of just \"Clicked\".\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;You could say it was\u0026nbsp;magical. She made me the happiest being in the world. It was\u0026nbsp;like I\u0026nbsp;found\u0026nbsp;my other half in life. She was Just \"Perfect\" in everyway possible.\u0026nbsp; We dated through our\u0026nbsp;high school years and then continued to the same college together!\n\nOne night I finally decided I was going to ask her to marry me.\u0026nbsp; I drove up to her house that night, got out of my car and knocked on her door.\u0026nbsp; She didn't answer, I waited\u0026nbsp;for at least 5 minutes before I got my spare key and invited myself inside.\u0026nbsp; I called\u0026nbsp;out to her\u0026nbsp;\"Taylor you\u0026nbsp;there?\" but\u0026nbsp;there was no response.\u0026nbsp;Now at this point I was getting worried.\u0026nbsp; I was starting to have crazy thoughts about her being, kidnapped, killed or worse. As I got close to\u0026nbsp;the stairs that led upstairs I heard a strange sound coming from upstairs. As I\u0026nbsp;moved\u0026nbsp;further up the stairs and to the\u0026nbsp;sound I realized it was coming from her door.\n\nI stopped adjusting the engagement ring box I had in my right hand, and took a deep breath and opened the door.\u0026nbsp; She was with ANOTHER MAN!\u0026nbsp; I stood there speechless.\u0026nbsp; I finally\u0026nbsp;barely uttered \"Taylor? What are you doing?\".\u0026nbsp; Taylor and the man\u0026nbsp;whipped around to look at me, still in the midst of their embrace,\u0026nbsp;having not noticed me standing there until that point. \"Nate! What are you doing here?\"\n\n\"I wanted to surprise you\", \u0026nbsp;I\u0026nbsp;whispered, after standing motionless for what seemed like hours.\u0026nbsp; I looked down at my right hand and\u0026nbsp;held up the engagement ring box. \"I thought I would take you out for a special night, and finally make you mine after all these years\".\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;My voice got more and more slurred the longer I talked. \u0026nbsp;\" But apparently I was wrong about making you mine\".\n\nMy eyes started watering and I felt like I couldn't breath. She tried to respond, but nothing came out. \"Ill just go now\" I said.\u0026nbsp; Before she could respond I turned and went back down the steps. I made it to\u0026nbsp;my car and was about to drive way until I heard pounding on my window. It was Taylor. She stood there gasping for breath with ruffled clothes on. I rolled down my window and motioned for her to talk.\u0026nbsp; \" Nate listen.\u0026nbsp; People make mistakes all the time, and this time I made the mistake. Please, Please forgive me.\"\u0026nbsp; \"No\u0026nbsp;I will not forgive you. I saw in there that you made your choice, and\u0026nbsp;the choice\u0026nbsp;sure as Hell wasn't me\"\u0026nbsp; After I said this I rolled up my window and pulled away. As I was driving away\u0026nbsp;the tears\u0026nbsp;flow freely down my cheeks.\n\nWhen I got home I realized I lost the \"Real\" only good thing in my life.\u0026nbsp; I had a awful job that I hated, I was getting kicked out of my home because I couldn't make rent due to the lousy pay and I lost the girl of my dreams.\u0026nbsp;Then, at that realization, I decided what I was going to do. I grabbed my computer mouse cord and\u0026nbsp;tied it into a noose. I hung\u0026nbsp;the cord\u0026nbsp;over my ceiling fan and got a chair.\n\nAnd that's where you find me now, struggling for breath as I die. It is\u0026nbsp;kinda funny I thought, as I slowly die. This wasn't the way I thought tonight would end or, for that matter, the way\u0026nbsp;I thought I would die.\n\nAt the final moment before I died I thought I saw a light then........ Darkness.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
