Hundreds of friends over facebook and not even one whom she could talk to. Loneliness haunts her each day. Depression has overpowered her body. This wasnt the life she had imagined. Her laughter got lost in the incessant chatter of the city. The glitz of the city had attracted her so much. But all that glitters is not gold. Although she realised it, but it was too late. Now she thinks, had she listened to her parents, life would have been so much better. All she could do is mourn over her loss. Losing her virginity wasnt as painful as being aware of the fact that the person whom she loved dearly and had surrendered herself to, wasnt even in love with her. All he did was, use her as a mere object for fulfilling his sexual desires. He was her first acquaintance at the college, soon they turned out to be best friends and with time their friendship gradually turned into love. They enjoyed so many parties together, made memories to cherish, but in the end she realised all that was a lie. She remembers the day when she told him about her pregnancy, how he had insulted her infront of the whole college and had called her a whore. She couldnt ever get out of that shock. How she had pleaded him to not leave her. But all went in vain. She would cry daily, her life had turned miserable. She didnt eat all day long. Her health degraded. She decided to end it for once and all. After gathering all her courage she took a decision. A decision that would change everything. She held the revolver and pulled the trigger. And before even stepping out of her teenage, she stepped out of the world.
