She know that she's my heart.

She knows that.

And she knows

that she can practically get

anything out of me that she want,

you know?

I can't give her what I don't have.

But anything that I have is hers,

you know?

Growing up, he taught me

many life lessons,

like time management,

how to write, how to carry yourself.

Like, just to be, like, you know,

respectable and stuff like that.

Where I live, he doesn't want me

to, like, fall in the black hole

and become, like, this monster.

Hold it.

Hold it!

I held it, coming here.

Well, people were supposed

to already be here, but nobody's here.

So...

Yeah.

Anything, anything, I don't know.

Whatever you want to wear. OK.

Yeah, hello?

Yeah, forget it, don't come.

Because I don't feel like going no more.

Because I don't understand,

I told you we had to be here at one.

OK, so everybody should have

told me that.

I don't understand.

You should have told me that yesterday

because you told me you was gonna

be here at one.

Anyway, I don't have to come.

So thanks, anyway.

No, because I just did my nails,

so when they're dry.

Well, I'm not going anywhere,

so I'm gonna be here all day.

I said I'm not going anywhere.

Cos I'm not going nowhere.

Cos I don't want to go anywhere.

Yeah, you don't have to come no more.

Because I'm tired now.

Alright.

Well, one of my friends

is gonna still come.

You give all the information to me.

There was a particular boy

and it was just really, really

a complicated situation with him.

And the fact that

I felt so worthless about myself

made everything to do with him

just really, really difficult

to deal with.

And I'd found out

that one of my closest friends,

she had slept with this guy.

And she was meant to be my friend

and it was just like,

you know, how could you do that?

I don't blame her in any way,

shape or form for what I did,

because it was my choice.

In the afternoon,

I took a bunch of pills

and I waited for a while

on a really busy road, you know,

hoping that I'd have enough courage

to step out in front of a car.

But every time, it was just, you know...

I don't want to step out

in front of that person.

That person has a kid in the car,

you know,

that person looks too nice, you know,

that car's going too slow.

I couldn't do it.

When I got home,

I was talking to one of my friends,

and I didn't tell her exactly

what happened and what I'd done

but she pretty much figured it out.

And she was talking to Paisley and...

Paisley rang my home

and spoke to my parents.

And so we got a phone call,

10:
30, 11 o'clock at night

and basically told us

what Katie had said on the Net.

And so I went, knocked on her door
