L-o-v-e what McKayla had waited 16 years of her long, hopeless life to find. Now she had found it, she wasn’t going to let anyone take it from her. It was the only time in her whole life she ever felt loved by anyone other than her family. She finaaly found someone she cuold be herself around, the real her. She could joke and act as stupid as she wanted and still be called smart and beautiful, even on those "unbeautiful days".And this miracle’s name was James.
How could anyone like him be with someone like her? She was pretty, but not gorgeous, nothing compared to his old girlfriends with the bleach blonde hair and blue eyes. No, she was only McKayla, a geography major, and a brunette with light brown eyes. Nothing too remarkable.
He was amazing. He had almond-shaped hazel eyes, a quirky little smile, and dark brown hair. It wasn't only his looks though. He had talent, he was the high school quarterback, A-B student, and even works at the Charity Bank. He has it all.
She could remember their first date, how perfect it was, yet so unplanned. The 11 rozes, with the one fake rose, a classic! The table for 2, and her first real kiss.
Now she was waking up in James’ arms. They had fallen asleep on the beach! She kicked sand on him, waking him up. Noticing him getting up, she ran! He got up and chased after her, finally pushing her to the ground and kissing her.He finally stopped kissing her and got up and walked hand in hand home.
About 15 minutes after she ha gotten out of the shower, her mother told her James was waiting on the line. She went to her room and answered the phone. He said he had left his phone on the beach and asked her to get it, and bring it to him tomorrow. Willingly, she went walking to the beach to get the phone.
It was vibrating! She flipped open the phone, and saw he had 5 new text messages. She went through and read them. They were disguisting! Some of these girls really need to put some clothes on! One of the texts said 'I can't wait till tonight!'. She KNEW it was too good to be true!!
She was SO mad! And humiliated! She went and saved a message into his phone saying ‘I somehow knew love was too good to be true! By the time you read this, we will be OVER. I’ll be gone, someone else’s problem. And, it’s all your FAULT! You did this to yourself, and you killed me!’
When she got home, she went straight to her car and drove over to his house. She silently got out of the car and climbed into the window she always used to sneak in. Knowing the bed was right under the window, she put her foot down slowly. She heard a girl giggling, and she knew it was true! She threw the phone down and said, “It is over! And, read your messages!”
She climbed back out of the window. –Ring Ring. McKayla’s mother heard no one answering the phone, so she did. It was James, he asked to speak to McKayla. Her mother made her way upstairs to McKayla’s room and opened the door. And SCREAMED!
McKayla was on the floor in a pool of blood! She had a razor and a note in her hand. Her mother read the note. It said:
‘To mom, dad, family, and friends-I love you and always will. This is DEFIANLTY not your fault. It was his, who hurt me the most, the one I loved, but to him I was just another girl. You took my love and broke my heart, so because of you, I took my life. Mom, I tried to clean up most of the mess, so you wouldn’t have to clean up the spilled blood, I hope I cleaned most of it up. But don’t worry, it didn’t hurt, I didn’t feel a thing! This was nothing compared to how much pain he put me through.’
James came by later that day, and he saw all the cops there. They pulled him aside and talked to him. He was ashamed! He broke her heart, and so she commited suicide! It was all his faullt.
When they got through talking to him, he went home. He couldn't stand the thought of her dying because of him. So, he just acted like she broke up with him a long time ago, and she was talking about some other boy.

It has an unexpected twist at the end than what you thought would happen at the beginning. Did you like the twist?

This was a nice little piece, although as FA has already mentioned, it seemed a little rushed. I would have liked to see a bit more description in some parts and a bit more emotion from your character. How did she feel reading the messages? Not just their content, but how did she feel about violating his privacy.
As I said though, the story has potential, and that’s really what I was looking for with this contest. I enjoyed that little twist at the end too.
Nice work. -
I liked the twist, but I thought the story was very rushed and hurried. Tou should slow it down and put in more detail, Instead of saying she just 'loved' him, try to explain what love is. You should put more imagery in the story. What did the characters even look like? How did James react to the suicide? It has potential, but definitely needs some work. Oh, that reminds me...you spelled the word 'definitely' wrong in the suicide note.
Good job.
