Hey, it's Hannah. Hannah Baker. Don't adjust your...whatever device you're hearing this on. It's me, live and in stereo. No return engagements, no encore, and this time, absolutely no requests. Get a snack. Settle in. Because I'm about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. I'm sorry. I can never make it right, I can never say all this to you, but I love you, and I will never hurt you. I'm not going, not now, not ever And if you're listening to this tape you're one of the reasons why. I'm not saying which tape brings you into the story. But fear not, if you received this lovely little box, your name will pop up. I promise. You're one of the reasons why You're one of the reasons why I'm not going, not now, not ever You see all these "don't kill yourself" posters up on the wall? They weren’t up before. They put them up because she killed herself. And why did she do it? Because the kids here treated her like sh! Jenson, that's enough But no one wants to admit it, so they paint over the bathrooms and put up a memorial, because that’s the kind of school that this is. Everyone is just so nice until they drive you to kill yourself. And sooner or later, the truth will come out. Why you're taking care of Hannah like you are? It's gonna come out Of course not. You needed to know. You're my friend. The rules here are pretty simple. There are only two. Rule number one: you listen. Number two: you pass it on. Hopefully, neither one will be easy. It's not supposed to be easy, or I would have emailed you an MP3. When you're done listening to all 13 sides, because there are 13 sides to every story Rewind the tapes, put them back in the box, and pass them on to the next person. Do you remember the winter dance, the one you deejayed? Sure. You remember that song you played, that one slow song? That one slow song? Uh, I'm gonna need some more, Clay. It was the most amazing song. I can never say all this to you, but I love you, and I will never hurt you. I'm not going, not now, not ever. You're one of the reasons why. You remember that song you played, that one slow song? That one slow song? Hey, it's Hannah. Hannah Baker. You're one of the reasons why. I can never say all this to you, but I love you, and I will never hurt you. I'm not going, not now, not ever.
