Chapter 1
I don't know what made me think of doing it. Why would anyone want to throw away his or her life? Well I can tell you that I thought about doing it and more then one. Here I stand on the edge of a cliff. Rain pour down hard, lightning flashed across the sky and loud trembles of thunder was heard. Yet I didn't care. All I wanted was for my life to be better than this.
Everyone thought that I was this happy, outgoing popular girl with a great life, great friends and a great family. Yeah right. My family is broken. My life is shit. The only things that have kept me from doing this earlier were my friends. And yet they are probably all snug and warm in their homes whereas I'm here, drenched and thinking about committing suicide. I couldn't care less about my home with its broken family. My mother, she's a psycho. She's tried taking her life many times before sometimes by horrific means. I don't know why because our family is filthy rich and all. Maybe it's cause of my dad and his alcohol and gambling problems. Both of them couldn't care less about me. Or about my brother who left a few years ago. He promised me that he'd take me with him someday but I just can't wait for that day to come.
The rain was coming down harder now, making the edge of this cliff slipperier. You're probably wondering who I am. Well I'm Winter Garner and tonight was the night I'm actually going to jump. I'd often come here and stand exactly where I was standing now and look down the cliff but I was never able to jump. Well I'm going to forget those attempts. I took a step forward so that my right foot was half off the cliff and half on. I moved my left foot and slipped on the wet surface. I guess destiny couldn't wait any longer for me to be out of this place. I closed my eyes and waited for my body to hit the jagged ground below. However I never felt the impact. I didn't even feel the wind rush around me. I opened my eyes. Someone was holding onto my hand. I couldn't feel it though because of the bitter cold. I looked up and slate grey eyes looked down at me as ice blue hair fell into those eyes. For a second I thought I was looking at a reflection of myself until I realised that my hair was long and wavy and it had snow coloured tipping. And not to mention that I am female and that the person who saved me was male. Then it hit me. I was looking into the face of my brother. He was here. I couldn't believe it. Out of everyone in the world, he was the one that saved me. My older brother, Cloud, had finally returned.
He pulled me back up to solid ground. All I could do was fling my arms around him and cry.
"Its ok," he said as he hugged me tight, "I'm here." it felt like ages before I finally stopped crying. I looked up and him. He wiped the last remains of my tears.
"It's not worth taking your life because of someone else's mistakes."
I sniffed and nodded at his words.
"I've come to take you away from here," he said as he smiled at me.
"What about my friends?"
"You'll make new friends," he said, chuckling a little to himself, "and have you ever heard of things called phones and cars." I nodded again as he placed his arm around me and walked me home. As all this was happening, the rain continued to pour.
After I have a shower and got out of the wet clothes, I rang my friends telling them that I was leaving. All of them were sad and didn't want me to go. The last person I rang was my boyfriend. Was he pissed off or what.
"…It's your entire brother's fault," he practically yelled into the phone.
"No its not," I said calmly.
"Yes it is. You are leaving just because he showed up. He hasn't even been there for you over the past few years," he yelled.
"Yeah well we have always been close. He has always been here for me. And besides I feel loved when I'm around him even if it's brotherly love," I started yelling.
"But…but," was all he could say.
"If you're finished, let me talk. I don't think this relationship is going to work now that I'm moving further away," I said.
"What do you mean it won't work?" he asked.
"Well you clearly showed me that you don't appreciate what my brother does for me and so therefore you don't really appreciate me," I said, "So. We. Are. Over."
"But…," was all he could say before I hung up on him.
Cloud came in just as I got into bed.
"Well be leaving tomorrow," he said. I nodded and hugged him before he walked to the doorway and turned off the light before going to him room which was just across the hall from my room. I fell asleep with a smile on my lips.
"Snow, Snow get up," came a voice, using my nickname. I cracked an eye open to find Cloud standing next to my bed, "Get up, we'll be leaving in an hour." With that he went downstairs and got something to eat. I yawned and climbed out of bed. I looked at the clock, which read 4.00am.
"Fucking hell Cloud. Why are we fucking leaving so early," I whispered to myself, as I got dressed into a pair of jeans and a black-sleeved shirt. I brushed my hair and cleaned my teeth before going downstairs and getting something to eat, all the while cursing at how early it was.
After a quick breakfast, I went upstairs and grabbed a suitcase before shoving my stuff into it. In the end I had to leave some of my dresses behind. I met Cloud in the huge garage. We picked the closest car to us and silently pushed it down the driveway before hopping in and driving away.
It felt so good to be free from my parents. I turned the radio up and begun singing along to the songs. My singing and laughter brought a smile to my brother's face.
"Sing with me," I smiled.
"I'm busy driving," he said.
"Come on, open your mouth and sing," I said as I continued singing. Cloud shook his head and continued driving. After a while I fell asleep and didn't wake until Cloud shook me telling me that we had arrived.
