This lil one-shot is dedicated to one of my best friend, T., and to everyone who feels that they are alone. i want you to know that you aren't alone. there is always someone there for you, you just have to look, and trust.
"Lullaby"
Well, I know the feeling Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge And there ain't no healing From cutting yourself with the jagged edge I'm telling you that, it's never that bad Take it from someone who's been where you're at Laid out on the floor And you're not sure you can take this anymore
I read the letter that had been left on my bed. " Dear Jack, i want you to know that i love you like you were a brother, but not even you can keep the pain away. its just, just too uch, and i can't take it anymore. so, tonight, its all going to end at midnight. Goodbye Jack. you're my best friend." oh no... nonono... she couldn't... she wouldn't... but a small vice at the back of my mind said she could and is going to. i have to save her! i blasted through the window, going a thousand miles a minute to reach her. please let me get there in time! please don't let it be too late! but the little voice inside said in a cruel tone, "it will be too late. it was too late from the moment she made up her mind. you failed her jack. you failed to keep her safe and happy. this is all your fualt!" "no!" i yelled, angry at it. i pushed myself to go faster. i just had to get to her in time. i knew where she'd be.
So just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby
i tried her cell. it rang and rang and rang. "Hi..." " Wyntia!" "You've reached my voicemail. leave a message at the beep, and i'll get back to you when i can! bye!" "NO!" i hung up, redailing it. everytime, i got her voice mail. " Dammit!" i cursed. i sped onwards.
Please let me take you Out of the darkness and into the light 'Cause I have faith in you That you're gonna make it through another night Stop thinking about the easy way out There's no need to go and blow the candle out Because you're not done You're far too young And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby
i remembered when i first saw her. i had stumbled across her by accident. she was walking towards a ledge, crying. "Why are you crying?" "Because i'm sad." she said, surprised by my appearance, but too distracted to care. "Why?" "Because this world is a hideous, cruel place, and i can't stand it." "So, when are you gonna stop being sad?" i asked. she now stood at the very edge, peering over into the rocks below. "Right now." she said. then she surprised me. she jumped. that fall would have killed her if i hadn't flown down after her, catching her and bringing her back up to the top. "Now why are you gonna jump? don't you know you would have died?" i asked. she struggled against my hold "That's the point Idiot! let me go!" she yelled. "Wait, you want to die? why? you're so young." i said. "Because... because i can't take the p-p-pain!" she said, breaking into tears and slumping to the ground. "Hey. hey... it'll be alright. here, let me take you someplace good. someplace happy." i said. i took her to north's and she never left. although she had made progress from the first time, i always had to keep an eye on her, just in case she slipped again. clearly, i had let my guard down to let it get this bad.
Well, everybody's hit the bottom Everybody's been forgotten When everybody's tired of being alone Yeah, everybody's been abandoned And left a little empty handed...
i remembered a fight we had had the other day. what if i never got to apoligize? we had fought because she had brought up suicide, and i snapped at her. we hadn't talked since. i called her phone agian, and again, i got her voicemail. this time, i left a message. "Hey, Wyntia. i just wanted to tell you that i'm sorry. im sorry for the things i said, and for not being there when you needed me, for not listening. im sorry for everything. please, just, don't do it. please? i love you, and i don't know what id do without you. you're like my lil sister. please, don't do it." i ended the call, flying on. i was almost there...
So if you're out there barely hanging on...Just give it one more try to a lullaby And turn this up on the radio If you can hear me now I'm reaching out To let you know that you're not alone And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'Cause I can't get you on the telephone So just close your eyes Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby Oh, honey here comes a lullaby Your very own lullaby
i spotted her. she was by a blossom tree near a pond. the japanese gardens. she had always said that if she were to die her way, it would be here. she was sitting under it, staring up at the stars and the moon. she checked her watch. it read midnight. she pulled out a orange bottle full of little pills. she opened it, and i shot forward. she lifted it to her lips... i reached her in time! i knocked it out her hands, holding her in my arms as she struggled against me. i turned her to face me. "What were you thinking? do yu know what you did? you gave me a heart attack! don't you ever, ever do that again! you're my best friend!" i said, holding her to me. we rocked back and forth. "you came. i thought you wouldn't. i thought no one would. Thank you Jack Frost. thank you." she said, crying. I held her to me, singing the lullaby my mom used to sing to me when i was sad. "I'll always be there for you lil devil. don't ever forget that. you're my lil sis after all, are you?" she smiled, laughing behind her sobs. "Come on. its late. you better get some sleep." i said. i took her back to north's and we spoke not a word of what had happend. as i laid her down, she asked me to stay. i agreed, sitting down on the bed next to her. "i promise to get better Jack." she said before dozing off. " And i promise to always watch out for you."
