Hey people, I wrote this story for a good friend who has tired to kill herself and was lucky enough to be helped. I hope that everyone has at least one friend to talk with about anything and never think that Death is the only solution, because all it is an end to this life. A permanent thing that you can never undo.
Burnt
As I look at the black night
I can't help but turn of the light
In my soul and take this knife
You have a chance to save my life
Talk to me
Tell me things will be right
Lead me out of this dark night
Into a world of new light
Help me to remember
The warmth of a friendly love.
The warmth of a friendly love.
Jubilee sat in her burnt room playing with an old knife she had bought after she returned from the ordeal with Bastion. She reflected on how her room was burned and how Everett was killed only two days after. She looked at the cold steel blade and thought of how it would feel to have it pushed across her wrist. How would it feel to watch the blood slowly run down her arms and land on the burnt floor in drops? She ran the blade of the knife across her index finger and smiled slightly as a small drop of blood ran down her finger. She looked at the blade again and felt the cold hard metal's weight in her hand. She realized how easy it would be just to end her life right now. She could hear movement outside her door and turned around to see Paige and Monet smiling at her.
"Come on, Jubes, we're about to open presents." Paige said and smiled. Monet smiled slightly and Jubilee felt the tears come to her eyes.
"I'll be there in a bit" Jubilee told them and they nodded and left never noticing the knife she hid. Jubilee let the first tear fall from her eye and looked out the window. Every time she looked at Monet, she couldn't help but think of Ev. though it wasn't as bad as it was at first when Sean had told her to leave Monet alone for a few seconds after Ev.'s death, she still couldn't believe he had said that to her. Ev. had been the guy she liked and maybe in a way loved since god only knows when. It hurt, but she understood why in a way why Sean did it. It had been 5 months and 4 days since Ev's death. Jubilee sighed and looked at the knife in her hands.
"Hey, Jubilee, are you coming or what." Angelo said and looked over her shoulder at the knife. He sat down beside her sighing. "What's with the knife?"
Jubilee looked at Angelo and smiled slightly. "Just found it and kind been think about stuff." She said and Angelo put an arm around her shoulders.
"Ya know that we all love you here and if we lost you, we would be lost in a sense. I mean who's going to be the one the cheer us up when we get down." Angelo told her and smiled at her. He made a goofy face with his extra skin and Jubilee couldn't help but laugh.
"True, beside if I ever did leave, who's going to keep Emma in line? Come on Angle, we got some presents to tear open." Jubilee smiled again and they left the room, but before Jubilee left she threw the knife out the open window. They made it to the living area and everyone opened their presents. Everyone said their thanks and drank eggnog while some sang Christmas songs and others played instruments. Jubilee looked at her family and smiled. She remembered what the joy of Christmas was all about and how important family is to each and every person. Most of all she thanked Angelo for stopping her from doing something totally stupid.
