It was all too much...
 
A cold wind gently brushed against her face. The weather was beautiful at this time of year, it was a rather poignant feeling, how could anyone hate a place with such beautiful weather? She couldn't explain, but she could not simply throw away the resent she held for it, the resent for herself and those around her, concentrated and pure. A stark contrast to how she had felt only months ago. It seemed a lifetime gone now that she was alone.
 
Inverness, Scotland. Such a beautiful place, she had been invited back here by her parents, the parents that loved and cared for her so, the parents that silently resented her for who she was, and made their resent ever clear with the things they said and did. They saw her as a burden, maybe that's why they left for this place so long ago? It wasn't important now, anyway.
 
Another burst of cold wind touched her face gently. The bridge that once echoed with the gentle sounds of society was dead quiet, which only served to enhance her melancholy, she was much too aware of what was going on around her... nothing.
 
It was still too much...
 
She had left whatever happiness she had gained behind, where a boy with a broken heart had come into her life and made a lasting impression on her own. He had always cared, regardless of how little of herself she was actually willing to give to him. She never wanted to burden anyone, perhaps that was why he had forgotten her after such a short time, even through what they had, where had she gone wrong? Tears broke their way through her defences, slowly filling her with an emptiness of indescribable magnitude.
 
Even her sister had left her behind, so absorbed in the delicate workings of the family business that there was no time to be with her, to see what was becoming of her little sister, maybe her sister thought she was a burden as well? It was hard to convince herself otherwise at this point.
 
She took in the delicate scent of damp air, a product of the river below, such a calming scent, she knew she would be at peace this way, there would be no need to be a burden on anyone any more. The sound of her cane lightly tapping a soft edge rung in her ears as she discarded it and grappled the fencing that was meant to stop people from falling. She felt it's cold metal embrace, dead and mechanical, just like herself now. She knew that this was the end for her.
 
And just like that, she was gone.
