Buffy was at the docks looking at the water, it looked so calm and beautiful she wished her life was like that, she wished her parents wouldn't argue and that Dawn would grow up and get some responsibilities, Dawn was what cause the arguments, Buffy was the favourite daughter but it never made her pain go away. She had been depressed for two years almost and it wasn't getting better it was getting worse. To anyone else Buffy's life seemed fine, she played happy at school with all her friends and they thought she was fine, but she hated going home after school and she hated school. She was trapped. She had self harmed once or twice, scratching her arm with a compose or scratching her skin making it come up with scabs but she didn't take it any further due to the fear her father caused her. She couldn't pinpoint when her life had gone downhill she thought it was when she had to put down her dog. She had him her whole life, he was her best friend and then he was gone, also that year two of her family members had died. At school she had great friends but they didn't understand, they had their own problems she knew that, but she wished she could scream and shout just to be heard for once. There was also this guy that she had fallen for called Liam, no one knew but he had fallen for her too, he was funny and sweet but they were in to different world. His mates hated her mates and her mates hated his mates, it was a classic Romeo and Juliet situation, they would talk in lessons and when they saw each other outside of school they would meet seeing how they lived two doors away from each other but yet they didn't tell each other how they felt.
She also thought another reason why she is so depressed is that all her dreams where shattered to pieces by her family and friends, she dreamed of being a famous actress and being on TV shows and being in loads of film but her friends said that they didn't think she could become an actress and her parents said it most likely wouldn't happen so when she was at school she would do as much as she could to do with drama such as going to the theatre group but that didn't help her. Her friends that said she wouldn't become famous weren't good friends, so she wasn't mates this them and now her best friends where Willow and Xander they always tried to helped but Buffy never believed them when they said "wow you're great well done"
Buffy's life was doing downhill and there was nothing to be happy about she wanted everything to end. She kept a diary and would write all about her life but then it turned into wishing the world would end and it don't come back.
Buffy was in her room reading when she heard her parents started arguing again but this time it was about her, she pushed her ear to the floor to hear what they were saying "SHE IS ALWAYS UP IN HER ROOM OR TALKING TO THAT GUY LIAM ON MSN, IF SHE DOESN'T LEAVE THAT MSN ALONE I WILL SMASH HER LAPTOP" "Hank stop if she wants to talk to her friends let her"
He dad had ago at her for that a lot, but this time it had made her feel even worse so she snuck out the house though her bedroom window and went to the dock.
She didn't know why she came here and she didn't know why she was climbing over the rails that stopped people falling over the edge but she was. She hadn't noticed that Liam had followed her, he watched what she was doing and also thinking how beautiful she was when she jumped of the rail and into the water he shouted after her "BUFFY" he ran and tried to grab her but she hit the water.
She jumped and felt free, no more shouting, no more pain just her and the wind and water, when she hit the water it hurt from the coldness of it, she went under and she was determined to stay there the oxygen left her lungs and her stomach tied to make her breath but she was too stubborn. It hurt. Water was in her lungs and it was stinging. Everything around her started turning black and her heart was slowing, when she felt hands around her waist and someone pulling her to the surface.
Liam had jumped in and followed her under but he couldn't see her, he had never been good with water, he had almost drowned when he was younger and since then he had been scared of water but for Buffy he would do anything. When they were at the surface he pulled her to the ground and put her down after climbing out of the water with her. He checked her pulse. There was nothing, and she wasn't breath she was dead but he did CPR. Her eyes opened and she coughed out water she lay there looking into his eyes he sat there stroking her hair "You ok Buffy? What were you doing?"
"It hurt too much" she replied with tears straining to come out but she didn't let them fall.
"Whatever it was can be sorted, you don't need to kill yourself to make the pain go away" she sat up with his help and he sat next to her "Do you wanna talk?" she shook her head "No, but thanks"
"For what?"
"Saving me I'm kinda glad you did. I guess you're my guardian angel," she says with a smile.
"Is that my new nick name? Angel?"
"If you want… Angel" they smile and lean in and kiss on the lips it was full of passion and love.
