No one's POV
An empty school hallway fills with students as the alarming noise most find reliving, sounds. There's bumping, socializing, and bullying. Normal for this school.
A young girl notices her friend is down so, the worried blonde goes and checks on a brunette boy, who must be her friend.
Kim's POV
"Hey, Jack. Are you ok?"
He sighs, "Just tired of this school and its students."
"Yeah, but think, in just two more years we'll be away from this place." I smile.
He closes his locker and leans his forehead against it, "But what if I can't survive two more years?"
"What do you mean, 'can't survive'?" I say with a little edge at the end.
He sighs again, "Never mind, let's just go to class." He left and went to class without me. What's with him lately?
As soon as I walked into class I see Jack staring down at his desktop, lost in thought. I was going to ask him if anything was up but the bell rang and I had to take my seat, luckily my seat is behind his and one spot to the left.
Jack's POV
I can't keep living life like this. I hate Frank and his gang. God he's a jerk. Ugh, my stomach and chest still hurt. Well, it did just happen before class.
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad.
Where the west
Was all but won.
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette.
He said, "Where you been?"
He said "Ask anything."
**Flashback**
"Hey, Brewer!" I heard Frank
Not again, I can take him when he only has three friends helping him but when he brings seven Black Dragons along with him, I barely stand a chance. He knows its not fair too. He makes four hold each limb down while he punches or kicks me, and the other three are if things get out of hand.
"Brewer!" He got close to me so I could feel his breath on my face,"I don't like to be ignored!"
"Well what am I suppose to say?" I yelled back at him.
His face turned red and he ordered some Black Dragons to hold me down so he can beat me up. As soon as he punched me stomach I questioned to myself, where's hope?
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
After many punches to the stomach and arms, he started to kick me in the legs and ribs. I didn't notice that the Black Dragons let go of my arms and legs but I guess Frank thought they didn't need to hold me anymore. Which was true, I hate to admit it, but it was true. I am in just too much pain to move so I laid on my side with my back being shoved against a wall. Frank kicked me about three or four more times before he decided to leave. After lying on the ground for a while I decided to get up, clean myself up and head to class.
**End of Flashback**
My trail of thoughts was interrupted by something hitting the back of my head. I saw a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. That's probably what hit me. Then another, and another, and another. The teacher finally told Frank to stop, no surprise that it was him that was the one throwing the paper. After the teacher turned around to continue with the lesson, a folded piece of paper landed on my desk and said,"From Kim" on it. I unfolded it, making sure I didn't make a sound, and read it.
R u ok?
I turned around and looked at Kim, then nodded. She's such a good friend, and really beautiful. So nice and kind. I want her as mine, but right now she's my best friend. If only she knew what's going on in my life.
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Kim's POV
I haven't seen Jack all day. I'm getting really worried. He wasn't at the dojo which was weird because Jack is always at the dojo. I guess I'll give him a call...
No answer.
Ok something has to be up. I walked to a very tall apartment building me, Jerry, and Rudy call home. Jack lives in a big house because of his grandpa and Milton and Eddie live in regular homes that aren't big, but not too small at the same time. I opened the front door and was greeted by the person that manages the lobby during the day hours. I pushed the botton in the elevator so it could rise up to the eleventh floor. I got off the elevator and entered my apartment. I threw everything on the coffee table and sat on the couch to do homework. When I pulled my stuff out of my backpack I got a text.
Turn on the news
-Jack
What? But why?
Jack's POV
I want to do this... no, I have to do this. It's not like anythings going to change. I took a look at the city of Seaford and made my decidsion. I'm going to do it.
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not, who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Kim's POV
No. N-no. I couldn't believe what I am seeing on the news. How come he wants to do something like this? Why didn't he tell me? You can't do this Jack, especially not now!
I quickly opened my window, stepped onto the fire escape, and started climb the stairs of the remaining four floors I have to pass before I can get to the rooftop of the building. I don't know what I would do with myself if I let him do this. I hope he didn't make his decision yet.

Jack's POV
She still isn't here yet. If she didn't want me to do this then she would've been here by now.
I took a step closer to the edge.
I bet she doesn't care.
I took another step closer to the edge.
I bet if I do this it won't change her life one bit.
I was so close to the edge by now that my toes were over the edge, the only thing saving me is my heels. I took one last look at Seaford, this is it.
Early morning
The city breaks
I've been callin'
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
Ya never send me no letters
You got some kinda nerve
Taking all I want
I lifted my right foot and hovered it about a half foot over the edge. I started to lean forward.
"Jack!" I heard a familiar voice but I thought it was just in my head,"Jack!" I heard it again. I put my foot back on the ledge and heard soft loud sobs. I turned around and saw Kim. I can't believe, she actually came!
"Jack, don't do this!" She said between sobs,"You have an amazing life!"
"You call being beat up by Black Dragons everyday an amazing life?" She looked shocked after that. I didn't mean for that to slip out of my mouth but I continued,"My mom's never around, my dad is dead. I'm practically living on my own!" I yelled
She calmed herself down,"Jack, look around you. Look at what you do have rather than what you don't." Every other word she would take a step closer to me,"You have friends that love you and look up to you. You have an amazing career ahead of you and..." She trailed off.
"And what?" I said softly because she was right in front of me,"Nobody's life with change when I'm gone." I looked down at the ground.
She pulled my face up so I could look into her eyes. She pressed her lips softly against mine and held it there for what seemed like forever.

You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
I wrapped my arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around my neck. Once we broke the kiss she cried in my shoulder,"Don't do it Jack, I love you more than a friend. I don't know how I could go on if you jumped. Just please Jack, don't-"
"Shh," I cut her off,"I'm not gonna. I have too much to lose if I did."

Hope didn't find me, something much better did.
