For everyone who saw her at work, she mostly looked like an average 28 year old woman, if you ignore the gloomy look she almost always had on. She wasn't a gloomy person at all, that's just how she looked. But people around Sam were mostly used to her slightly gloomy look and didn't really think about it that much. What they didn't know about was the world of pain that hid behind that gloomy look of hers.

In a mere instant , not only did Sam's entire family cut her off, she also got betrayed by the one person she thought she could completely trust, through thick and thin. But as she found out, her trust was misplaced. It all started when Sam went on a visit to her parents house with her best friend Marie in tow. At first, everything seemed alright. Sam hadn't seen her parents in a good bit, so she was focused on catching up with them on life. Marie was also engaged in the conversation and all seemed well.

After about an hour of talking to her parents and catching up, Sam decided to go excuse herself and go to her little sisters room, to which none objected. She wanted to check up on how she's doing, since she hadn't seen her in so long. Her little sister Samantha was 15 years old and was eager on seeing her older sister again. Sam approached the door and started knocking: ,,Hey, Samantha! It's me, Sam. Can I come in?" she asked. Before Sam got her answer though, the door swung open and Samantha hugged Sam with a smile on her face. ,,Where have you been, sis? You haven't visited in ages! I'm so glad that you're here now. said Samantha while still grinning. ,, I've missed you too Samantha. I'm sorry I didn't pay you a visit earlier, I have just been so busy with work and all. Sam answered. They hugged until Samantha finally let go after about 20 seconds. Samantha told Sam to come inside and she took a look around. Very little had changed since Sam last saw her sisters room, except for a few new items on her shelves here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary. Samantha asked Sam to sit down on her bed, to which she obliged.

,,So, Samantha. Let's ask the big question before I ask you all the boring stuff." Samantha said while staring at Sam with a mischievous grin. Sam already knew where this was going, and just sighed. ,,For the 10000th time, I don't have a boy- or girlfriend." Sam frustratedly answered. ,,Ok, Ok, I'll stop bugging you about it. Didn't know you were into girls too though, since when is that a thing?" Samantha asked. ,,To me atleast, gender is second. First and foremost will always be personalty and inner values. Now, can we talk about something besides me being too ugly to date someone?" Sam says. Samantha agrees to switch the topic and apologizes. Samantha asks Sam all kinds of questions, about work, living, her job, and so on. But the answers didn't really change from the last time that Sam was over, which didn't bother Samantha though. She was just happy that her big sister was finally over again. They kept talking for about an hour, until ,,it" happened.

Coming from between the kitchen and living room, a loud scream could be heard that echoed across the whole house. At first, Sam didn't understand what the scream said, but then she heard the scream again. It was her name being screamed and it sounded like a scream full of hatred and disgust. Sam just looked at her sister, who was equally as shocked as she was and just said to her: ,,I seems like some drama is about to go down, though I don't know what it is that I did. Just stay here, OK?" Sam hurried down the stairs to find her parents and also Marie looking at her with disgust. Sam was more confused than enraged, she didn't even know what had happened while she wasn't down in the living room to cause everyone to have such a look on their faces. Before Sam could say a word, her father shoved Maries phone with what seemed to be pictures of chatrooms in her face. Sam couldn't believe her eyes. There were about 16 pictures of chat logs from Sam, in which she tried to groom and invite a minor to her house. The more she looked, the more anger started to boil up in her. She didn't write those messages. She would never even dare to have a sexual relationship with a minor. And worst of all, the pictures were all on Maries phone. Which could mean only one thing and one thing only. Her mother, finally breaking the silence screamed: ,,How dare you do such a thing! I thought we raised you better than to be a pedophile! You should be ashamed!" Sam saw her life flash before her eyes. All of the ups and downs, for something like this to happen? Her own best friend, faking chat log screenshots to make her look like a pedophile? In Sam's mind, there was almost no worse crime than false rape or pedophilia accusations, she had seen countless articles about people's lives being ruined by something like this, though she could have never imagined that it would ever happen to her.

Sam went back and forth with her parents and Marie, everyone except Marie getting ever closer to reaching their breaking point, until Sam's father just sadly sighed and said: ,,We love you Sam, but there is just no coming back from this. The evidence is just undeniable. I wish that I didn't have to do this, but I don't think there is another way. After seeing all of this, me and your mother agreed to... cut you out of the family. Atleast for now, to protect Samantha. Now please get out of here."

Sam didn't even react to what she just heard. Her whole world just got destroyed in an instant. To her, family was something to die for.

She left the house, broken and feeling worthless. After she got kicked out, over the next few days she would get bombarded with messages from every part of her family, some sending her messages full of hate, some full of disgust, some just filled with disappointment. Every time one of these messages reached her, she broke a little more on the inside.

Sam tried to just ,,get over it,, but this was something that none could just get over.
Sam went to work, tried putting on a facade for every single day after the incident. But it just didn't work. After a couple of days of this, Sam had had enough.

Sam worked in a very tall building, and she had access to the roof. It was clear to her what needed to be done. If everybody she cared so much about decided to abandon her, why should she stick around any longer?

But before going through with her plan. Sam tried contacting her sister one last time, but to no avail. Everything was swiftly blocked off by her parents, telling her to just stop.

And so it was that Sam had lost it all, over some chat logs that weren't even real to begin with.
For her, it was the beginning of the end. Sam made her way to the rooftop. She walked over to the edge of the rooftop, looking empty. She felt the wind go through her hair.
