Chapter one

Humphrey woke up to the sound of his alarm clock which read 6:00am. Humphrey got up and walked to his closet, pulled on a pair of jeans and a black tee. Humphrey exited his room brushed his teeth and went downstairs. The first thing Humphrey saw was his Dad passed out on the couch drunk… Again. It was like that everyday, his Dad would come home drunk and pass out on the couch (on a good day) if not he would beat the crap out of Humphrey telling him it was his fault that his Mother had died. Humphrey grabbed his backpack and started his walk to school.

Humphrey entered the school and went to his locker and placed a rose he had picked on the way there in it. When he closed his locker door his face was meet with Garth's (The school bully)

"Who's the rose for?" Garth said.

"No-one you would know." Humphrey said turning around and walking away.

"You'll look at me when I'm talking to you!" Garth said as he pushed Humphrey to the floor and kicked him in the stomach. "You are a FUCKING loser! No girls ever going to want you!" Garth said kicking him in the stomach again. Garth leaned over, picked Humphrey up by his shirt and threw him against the lockers, and spat in his face, then walked off. Humphrey wiped the spit off his face and leaned down to pick up his papers but before he could someone else picked them up for him. Humphrey looked up and saw a snow white wolf with Lavender eyes hand him his papers.

"Thanks." Humphrey said looking down at the floor.

"No problem. I'm Lilly by the way." The wolf said as the bell rang. "Well I have to get to class, see you around." The snow white wolf Lilly walked away. All through out the day Humphrey couldn't stop thinking about her, but brushed it off because she was just someone being nice, she probably wasn't interested. The bell rang and school was out for the day, Humphrey went to his locker, put away his stuff and grabbed the rose and walked out the door and to the graveyard. The sky was blue and clear and the wind billowed softly through his fur. Humphrey arrived at the graveyard and walked to his Mother's grave and laid the rose on it. Humphrey opened up a beer and poured a little on the grave before he chugged the rest and tossed away the bottle.

"I'm sorry for what happened that night. Dad is wrong it's his fault you died. He was drunk and shouldn't have ran that red light, but I'll be with you soon." Humphrey said with tears in his eyes as he opened and chugged another beer. Humphrey grabbed his backpack and walked to a nearby building. Humphrey looked at the top of it, 30 floors high. "Yeah, that should be enough." He said to himself as he climbed the fire escape to the roof. Once there he walked to the edge and sat down on it and let his feet dangle over the ledge. Humphrey opened his backpack and took out a notepad and a pen.

To anyone that finds this I want to tell my story. My name is Humphrey Woods.

I am 15 years old. My Mom died in an accident last year and Dad is an Alcoholic. My Dad blames me and beats me for her death, but it's not true. The night she died she was in the passenger seat of my Dad's car. He was drunk and speeding, ran a red light and the passenger side was hit head on by a car breaking my mothers neck killing her instantly. I'm glad she didn't have to suffer. My Dad came out of the accident with no injuries, not even a scratch. Everyday I'm bullied my others. A kid named Garth at Jasper high won't leave me alone, he beats on me and harasses me everyday. I don't want to feel the pain anymore, and maybe I'll finally get to see my Mom.

Humphrey folded the note and put it in his pocket. Humphrey opened his bag and pulled out his glock and set it aside. He reached in again and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. Humphrey opened the bottle and started to drink it while he watched the sunset. Humphrey set down the bottle and decided it was time. Humphrey picked up the gun and held it to his head. "This is it." He thought. Humphrey was going to pull the trigger when he heard footsteps behind him and a voice.

"Humphrey?" It was Lilly, she must have seen the gun when she yelled. "Humphrey!" and tackled him and pulled him away from the edge.

BANG!

Humphrey laid on the ground Lilly over him. Humphrey felt a pain in his stomach and put his paw over it and saw the blood.

"Oh my god! Humphrey! Why would-" Lilly stopped when Humphrey handed her a folded piece of paper. "Humphrey, you can't leave me… I love you! I've watched you ever since you were at this school, I've always liked you, I was always to afraid to come near you or tell you." Lilly was sobbing. Humphrey put his paw over Lilly's and squeezed it tight.

"Lilly… I… Never knew… I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you… I'm sorry…" Humphrey felt himself get drowsy feeling the most intense pain everywhere and he started to close his eyes, the last thing he felt was Lilly's lips touching his. Suddenly Humphrey could hear sirens, He looked down and saw his body being taken from the roof on a stretcher into a helicopter. "Is… That me?" He asked himself. Humphrey looked down and saw Lilly crying. Humphrey walked forward to put his paw on her shoulder but it fell right through.

"I'm dead." Humphrey said to himself.

Humphrey followed Lilly home in the rain as she was sobbing. Lilly walked in to her house and straight up to her room, not even saying a word to her parents. Lilly laid down on her bed and sobbed. Humphrey sat down in a chair next to her bed, Lilly still had his blood on her shirt and paws. "How can I ever talk to her, or tell her I'm here?" Humphrey asked himself but decided to wait till morning.
