What I did before my friend committed suicide
Right now I just wish that I were dead, I mean this were the words Gabriel told me before he jumped off the building. Was he stupid? Why was he that weak? What was even his problem? I mean I could not stop from asking myself this questions. So I ended by asking myself one last question, was he different from me, from us?
Gabriel had for months now been facing depression caused by so many accumulated things, he felt like there was no more option, the only option he saw was suicide.
Now I know you feel good, strong, powerful, and you just want to lash on Gabriel but I just want you to know that you made for him, you were made to be his strength, and because you were not there for him, he died. The only way we are ever going to get out of this is if we all just stick together, stop thinking "me" and start thinking "we". Someone somewhere needs you right now, maybe your friend, maybe your brother, maybe your someone whom you have only met once. Kindly check on that friend of yours, kindly call that person, kindly send that person a text. Just tell him that he or she still matters. GOD BLESS YOU. Kindly drop your comments about this short story.
