The next morning I walked down to the same beach I was born at. The water is beautiful, and the breeze was so perfect. The clouds were grey, but they matched everything about this beach. I could feel every emotion that has been shown on this beach.
I never go to the beach, but I was alone. I've never been in so much pain, but also felt at peace. I needed to feel peace again. If only it didn't have to come to this. I was being honest when I told Tom I haven't self harmed for months. And ever since then I still haven't. It's been almost a full year since I've done it, and I never had the intention to end my life. I just wanted to shed some blood to feel less pain. Which makes no sense. I started into the water, and took off my jacket. It revealed the many scars I've given myself over the years. I'm not proud of it, but they mean I was a survivor.
I still had the knife Tom gave me, and it's still the knife that I stabbed him with. I stared at its beauty, and remembered every moment I had with Tom. I took the blade and cut from my wrist to the top of my arm. Both my arms were covered with blood, and I felt peace again. I still held onto the knife as I walked out into the water. The closer the tide was to my arms, the more the blood was dying the ocean red. I would be dying in the place I was born. I layed down on my back, and felt the blood come out of my arms. I could feel myself loose vision, and then all of a sudden. Everything went black, and I felt my heart rate stop....... I...died.

Tom POV:

I saw Roxanne walk down to the ocean, and the time I reached her. She was already dead. The water was red, and she was holding the knife I gave her. "I'm still alive Roxanne. Why can't you be?" I grabbed the knife from her hands, and took off my shirt. I did the same cut as she did to both my arms. I saw the blood rush from my arms into the water. I grabbed Roxanne, as I saw a huge wave coming towards me. I was ready to die.
The wave hit me, and kept me under water, and the blood continued to pour out of me. My vision was leaving me, until I was brought back to the surface with Roxy. I layed on my back while I held her hand tightly. Before I knew it, my eyes closed and I couldn't hear anything anymore. I could feel my heartbeat stop....I was dead...and I was holding Roxy's hand. I died with her, and I knew I would be with her forever now. I was finally at peace with my life, and I knew that this is where I was meant to be. Holding her hand while we both lie in the ocean painting the blue water red. I loved her, and I still love her. And I know she loved me, and she still does.

The end........
