    About this ebook

    “Just do it all ready, you idiot, he thought, No one cares and no one will. You’ll be the laughing stock of the school if you go back. He reached for the gun but something was stopping him and he couldn’t figure out what. He had no real friends except one and that guy would be better off without him.” Ever wonder what life would be like without you? Feel as though there’s nothing left worth living for, that no matter what you do from this point forward you will be a failure and worthless? Ever have those moments were suicide becomes an easy way out? After a prank pulled by the “popular” crowd at school, Gabe Ledford sees no other way. His life isn’t worth living. In the wake of his death his best friend Brian and the girl who pulled the prank, José, have to work together to get through this emotionally demanding turn of events. Will Brian be able to contain his anger towards the girl who pushed Gabe over the edge? Will José be able to forgive herself for her contribution to Gabe’s death? Will they be able to reach closure or will their efforts to remember Gabe lead to something more?“She let the lilac scented letter fall from her grasp. “Oh my god,” she whispered as she slowly walked into the living room. “Such a waste don’t you think?” her mother ask when she noticed her. José didn’t respond. She just kept staring at the screen. “You okay?” her mother asked. “I...I know that house.”
