Non-diegetic voiceover from Charlotte, illusions to it being her suicide noteCharlotte: I’m sick of trying to please everyone when in the end no-one even cares, all I wanted was to be like a normal teenager but I’m stuck in-between these two worlds. I’m pregnant. And I know you’ll tell me to get rid like he did but I can’t, I can’t! I can’t kill my own child, what kind of person kills their own child? So I’ve come up with something else, I’m done with you all!
