You held his hand and laughed.
He always made you laugh.
Even when he was doing nothing.
You let go of his hand and ran, turning back once.
"Come catch me if you love me!"
You looked down into the water beneath you.
Frigid.
Cold.
Murky.
If anyone was going to find your body after this, it was a miracle.
You hugged the few strands of wires on the bridge and rested your head against them. Tears silently fell down your cheeks as you peered back over the edge.
"Hey! Come look what I made!"
He stepped up behind you and raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
"Haha, it's us! See? That one is you, and that one is me!"
He ruffled your hair and kissed your cheek.
You loved when he did that.
You shook your head as memories flooded you.
This wasn't a time to think about such things.
He broke your heart, and you wanted nothing more to do with him or anyone else.
You slid down and sat on the edge of the railing.
"John... John!"
"What?"
"I'm sorry..."
"I hate you!"
You ran out, you couldn't believe it.
You couldn't believe what he did.
You didn't care for anything anymore.
You hunched over and choked back a few tears.
Even though he told you he didn't love her, you felt the pain.
You felt betrayed.
Forgotten.
Rejected.
And everything in your world was meaningless.
You ran.
As far as you could without stopping.
You hunched over, gripping the metallic railing.
You hurled away your final memories.
You fell to your knees and cried.
You shook your head and held it.
Why did this happen to you?
You never did anything.
You were always so nice.
So caring.
So silly.
Why you?
He stepped up behind you.
"John..."
"Leave me the fuck alone! I hate you, dammit!"
You ran.
Again.
Even when your legs couldn't take it.
You ran.
You stared down at the water, seeing your reflection.
Did he even love you anymore?
Did he ever love you?
Or were you just another play toy to him?
Was this all just a lie?
You stood on the railing of the bridge.
You were going to finish it all.
Nothing was worth it.
He stood behind you.
You didn't notice.
You never noticed.
He stepped up behind you and wrapped his arms around you.
"I love you, John."
"No you don't..."
"I do. Only you, John. Only you."
"You love her."
"All of my love is for you. All of it."
He held you in his arms and you collapsed against him.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too..."
"I really do love you."
"I love you too."
