Chapter 1:
Savior
I don't remember being this miserable when I was little. Charlie and Renee were always with me, making me happy; there wasn't a dull moment in my childhood. But now I was alone, they were both gone and no longer in this earth. I remember the night when I woke up to the thuds on the door, only to find two police officers standing before me when I had opened it. The poring rain was now stronger as I walked deeper into the woods, my tears blending right into the water dripping down from my face. I moved slowly down the muddy path, sobbing uncontrollably. I didn't care about anything anymore, my life was over as I knew it. Not because some cute guy broke up with me or because I was embarrassed in front of the school, this was real my life had no meaning anymore.
The loud thunder clasps shook me slightly, I gripped the tree beside me to hold on to. The lightning lit up the way. I felt so weak, my knees trembled with the frigid wind. My dark hair now stuck to the side of my face, I was completely wet, my shoes were soaking wet and I could feel the water in them.
I slowly regained my composure and walked closer to the road. I remembered everything I wanted to be and this was nowhere near my prediction. I picked up my speed to hurry out of the woods and into the road and to my surprise there was a car coming full speed my way. It looked like a silver bullet coming from the mist and into my direction. I was puzzled not a muscle in my body moved, I stood in the middle of the road struck by this vehicle coming my way and I wouldn't move. Maybe I didn't want to move, maybe this was the answer to my agony. I closed my eyes waiting for the hit, but nothing came. I slowly opened my eyes to see the silver car still in front of me, my body shivering from nerves.
No screeching tires?
My eyes were much too blurry from my tears to see the people in the car, I wondered what their expression was. I kept walking to where I was headed like nothing had happened, like I hadn't been about to get killed by a speeding car. My jeans dragged along the pavement with my shoes as I walked across the car and into the woods once again. I was determined to get to the ledge where I would stop my misery. I ran this time among the trees, to my surprise not hitting a single one of them. When I finally reached the precipice, the thunder got louder. My chest moving rapidly with every breath I took, my heart beating faster with every step I took. The clouds were a dark gray, what a perfect setting for someone to die.
The moment felt so serene, staring at the dark sky was one of my favorite things to do. One of my favorite pass times with Renee, I sobbed once again. I wanted to be with them, I didn't want to be in this earth by myself. What was the point of living like this?
Walking closer to the edge of the cliff, I slowly shifted my head sown to see the empty space at the bottom. Well this was it. I let out a loud sigh and prepared myself to step over the edge.
"Stop!" I heard a voice behind me.
I didn't bother to look behind me, I didn't want to.
"She's about to commit suicide," I heard someone else mumble.
"Shut up," I heard another voice answer his obvious remark.
"Please stop," he repeated. "It's okay"
I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My mouth felt sour, I had barely spoken in the past month.
I tried again, "don't…don't save me…because I don't care." I muffled. Tears streaming down my cold face. "I'm not okay," I said not looking behind me once. Not even curious of whom this guy might be.
"Don't, please." He pleaded. His voice was raspy, concerned but cold at the same time.
His comment had come too late my body leaned completely into the vacant space. My eyes squeezed shut as the wind blew past my hair, it felt like less then a second when I hit something hard. I opened my eyes to see a handsome man leaning in into my dazed face. I realized that his body was the thing that I hit, not a rock, not the ground, but his chest. It was then I blacked out.
