A/N: Hey hey, I am back with another fic :D This time it'll be a multi-chapter. But bear with me, because maybe the chapters will upload slowly since I'm busy with college (freshman year). So enjoy!
Cars drove by beneath your feet. They resembled tiny ants, scurrying about with food they've just obtained, eager to get back to their nest. You wondered if any of the people below noticed a girl sitting on the edge of a building, carelessly swinging her legs back and forth as if she was not ten stories above the ground. Probably not, you concluded, because nobody ever cares about you. Not your alcoholic mother who cares more about her ever-changing boyfriends than her own child. Certainly not your estranged father who is more content to live with his perfect new family. Even the one person who you thought would never leave you, is more than happy to have you out of his life. Nobody cares for Jade West.
A sudden gust of wind carried a desperate call of your name. You didn't bother turning around for you have known that voice by heart. The same voice, once made your knees grew weak, now wraps your heart in a frozen embrace. You could hear more voices talking frantically behind you. He has brought his friends—never yours—along perhaps to mock you, maybe even to cheer on you when you take the final step. Fine, if that's what they want, you thought as you get up to your feet.
"Please Jade, please don't do this," he pleaded. "You promised, remember? You promised not to harm your self."
You almost laughed at the irony. Yes, you did promise to stop harming yourself, at the same time he promised to never leave you in this cold world. He broke his promise so it's only fair that you get to break yours, isn't it? As you inched closer to the edge, the voices from behind grew louder. You are so close; the fronts of your boots are already over the edge. Just another small step, and the pain is over. The thought brough a small smile to your face. You want to be free of the pain and darkness that have consumed you ever since you could remember. You just want to be happy again; as happy as you were back when you can still call him yours, when his kisses would drive away the demons.
Black strands clouded your vision as you turn your head around to take one last look at him. Instead of seeing him standing at the back, smiling smugly like you have envisioned, instead his handsome features were contorted in worry, body tense as if ready to pounce. A part of you revelled in the fact that he still cares about you, perhaps even love you again. But the darker part of you refuse to acknowledge it, believing that everything is too late now. You have made up your mind. You want to be free. You whipped your head back around and closed your eyes. With a deep breath, you took a step forward. Screams, not your own, echoed in the air. Wind rushed through your hair and the nightmare is finally over.
To be continued
Don't worry, it'll be a happy ending ;)
