"My life's at stake," you cried out, tear after tear rolling down your pained face. "What even is there to do now. What is there to live for?" Your voice was cracked and obviously you were in a lot of pain. It was all too odd though. What kind of loss could bring so much pain to one life, that the brain would begin to malfunction, only to think it serves no more purposes in this world. It begins to think that there is no one else out there that you need to live for, and there's no on else to comfort you or for you to bring a smile to their face. And then the brain begins to wonder, what even is the point of redemption when it's impossible at the current state you're in? What a terrible thing the brain can be at times, making you think the impossible, when after every storm there is sun.
It all happened to soon, the loss. Terrible events following after previous events that were also horrid. Everything kept on tearing you apart, there was no end. But one terrible change broke you. Not just you, but it sent your brain into a stage that makes it believe it needs to just deactivate. And put every bad thing to an end, hoping heaven is there to great you in the other side. The times weren't always pained like this. Just last year, you never had a reason to cry. No deaths, no bullying, no arguments, no sorrow. Most people claimed you as to be the happiest person in the world, with such an easy, joyful, care-free life. However, loss is a terrible thing, a terribly powerful thing that can rip you apart piece by piece.
First your dog died. Your loyal companion that was always there to cheer you up and comfort you, ever since you were born. What an old creature, but everything's time comes. Of course you were terribly upset, who wouldn't be? But then the terror kept coming. You got a call from your best friend's mother, which was rare. She only ever called if it were important or saying that your friend was sick. Immediately you grew worried, and weren't expecting the statement that came through the phone. The statement that made you a nervous wreck. She had cancer. Your best friend got cancer. Oh no though, this wasn't all. Lucky lucky you, getting to face all this pain in just a week or two. This is why your loss, or losses, broke your brain so badly. The next event that happened was the loss of your grandmother. That wasn't the last bad news, but I think you get the point. You've lost more things then just your dog, grandmother, and figuring out your friend is now in a fearful battle against a tough opponent: cancer. This is too much to handle. No one in this world should go through this.
Where's the redemption then, you might ask. Redemption is a great thing. You truly can't move on successfully in life without the hardships, without the death and loss. You want not to forgot those big events that broke you, as they're what drives you on to succeed. However, they're also what drives you into depression. "Of all people, why me?" You sobbed, choking on tears. Your head hit your knees, burrying itself into them as you curled into the corner of you dark bedroom, feeling your pants soaking up the salty, pained tears. This was the beginning of your redemption. Emotions must not be concealed.

(May edit this, I don't know if it's the type of story needed) edit; 598 words, I'll need to shorten it xD
Also, for the song guess, I really don't know. With the whole science lab table thing, I couldn't help but think of the song "She Blinded Me with Science" xD
