At age 12 a girl named Sara began to smoke,only her parents and her boyfriend knew she smok’ed. Her mom’s side of the family was shocked whent hey found out she smoked.

Aunt: “I remember thinking, this cant be happening, this has to be a mistake. My neice can’t be a smoker.”

But it was true, 12 year old Sara had become a smoker, and she couldn’t turn back. Sara had a major depression issue, her depression was recognized at the age of 10. Her boyfriend Tom told investigators about why she had started smoking.

Tom: “She once had told me a year after she started why she had stgarted. And it wasn’t the answer she gave everyone else.

Jace: “Sara was a friend I made back when I turned 14. She was an amazing friend, but back then she didn’t smoke and I did. I will admit I tought her everything she knew about smoking. She said she wanted to try it. It was not peer pressure that made her try it, but I never believed the reason she gave me was the one one.”

And like I said no one knew the real answer. Sara’s boyfriend Tom was the only one who knew the truth.

Tom: “She was not into suicide, basically cause she had been hidding her depression from her parents, She told me the same thing she did to Jace at first but later she admitted the truth. it was not wanting to try it that made her smoke, it was suicide.”

Tom’s confession opened up alot about Sara, she knew the risks, but didnt care because she wanted to die, she wanted cancer to kill her. It was a hidden suicide try, one that would have worked out right if not for Tom. Sara came into Toms life whens he was 13. He had been the new 8th grader who had not wanted to have to worry about mkaking and keeping friends untill Sara came into his life. She had been a close friend from the start and he fell for her hard.

Tom: ” Sara had been beautiful that day. I had not caught a glimps of her untill lunch. She walked proudly into the lunch room. Her gaze never moving from her freinds as she walked. She had amazing greenish eyes i have ever seen. She had been so stunning.”

But under her skin was the effects of depression,abuse, and tobacco effect working its way into harming her.

Tom: “I fell hard for her. Hard into love. I had not wanted a girl friend or love when I first came, but suddenlt I was inlove again and afraid to admit it.”

Sara had slowly become apart of Tom’s life and vice versa for her. When Tom admitted he loved her it went up hill from there.

Tom; ” Though I accepted that she smoked I wanted he to quit. I loved her and I wanted her alive.”

But Sara could not bring hereself quit. Something in side of her made her want to keep smoking, and she did.

When she tunred 17 she found herself pregnant because her birth control pillls had failed. Eight months later her baby was born dead from the tobacco sara smoked.

Tom: “She was heart broken, she always wanted to atleast have a baby boy or girl, even though I told her that we could have another kid, she said it would not be the same and that her baby was dead”

Through Sara’s loss came her depression and Tom didn’t know what he could do to help. A turn for the worst he already begun. Sara had become so sensitive that a small fight between her and Tom had caused her to take off in her car. Soon Tom called Sara”s friends hunsband Carl to see if Kate had heard from Sara. She had and Sara was close by a cliffand had told Kate that she was going to drive her car off it. Tom paniced and called 911, scared for Sara’s life. It took an hour but police soon found Aara in her car which was almost completely totalled on the bottom side of a cliff. She had in deed drove her car off a cliff. Luckily she had not gone into the water but insead on land below the cliff. Though Sara had not been successful in her attempt of suicide, she ended up in intensive care with large cutgs and head trama. At this moment she is in a hospital off the coast of Cali. and whether or not she lives or dies, still remains a mystery.
