Can you make me cry?

I want the saddest story you can come up with.
Could be based around a personal experience, death, love, bullying, anything really but in sick of happy endings!!!
Most of the time there isnt a happy ending in life.
So come up with some thing that will bring me to tears.

Rules
1) No erotica
2) NO HAPPY ENDINGS!
3) 250-1500 words (im not really into reading long stories on the internet sorry)

So yea not many rules but please keep to the ones I have set.

Good luck and get writting
Im pretty happy at the moment so it might be hard to make me cry.

oh and I'd rather a story with meaning and depth please.
