That Girl

Everyone saw her as a pretty, not very talkative, goody good, but was that who she really was? Maybe the reason why she kept to herself was it because there was another side of her that no one would ever see. Michaela Belshure had a mystery about her that no one knew. 

            Every night when she returned home from school she would eat as much food a she could, then shower and intentionally make her self vomit, she thought the only way she could get attention from guys was to be skinny!  She worked out at least 4 times a day for two hours, trying anything to look “good”.  She had hundreds of scars on her thighs from cutting herself, she was always home alone because her mom was never home, and her dad died when she was fifteen.  He died from a heart attack in the car with his daughter driving.  She rushed him to the hospital but it was to late.  Since her dad was gone her mom was becoming an alcoholic again from the tragedy, and she had been bringing home different guys all most every night! She wouldn’t even look at her daughter to re-direct the pain she blames her for her husband dying.  But in a way it seemed like she was happy that her husband died; more money for her to spend. 

            Michaela’s family was very wealthy; she drove a BMW, an Audi, an Escalade, and a truck to school.  Needless to say she was a spoiled brat with a major depression problem.  Michaela hid it from all of her friends and none of them noticed.  She was still as preppy as ever on the cheerleading squad, she was the captain and the main flyer. She was the girl that everyone wanted to be on the outside, but on the inside she was a mess!

            As Michaela came home from school one warm spring day she had was fed up with everything, and everyone.  She found her mom’s sleeping pills in the guest bathroom and filled the bathtub up with scalding hot water. You could see the steam rising from how hot the water was. She took all of the sleeping pills there had to be about 20 still in the bottle.  She set her suicide note on the counter in the bathroom that told her mom that she was sorry for letting her dad die, she immersed herself in the water and that was the last time she would every breathe.  Michaela died of an over dose, and now the whole world would see what she was really going through!
