This is not really a regular, its very AU, I didn't really imagine any character for this, but you can choose anyone you think is suitable. This piece is about self harm and suicide but please remember that it is not the answer, it is never the answer. I wrote this in the heat of the moment. This piece is not written to promote suicide or self harm.

She stood all alone overlooking the sea, the view from here was simply beautiful. The cool breeze sent shivers down her spine, causing her to hug herself tighter, the tears were pooling behind her eyelids and she finally allowed herself to feel the turmoil of emotions churning inside her. She was numb, but somewhere in the back of her mind, she noticed that her thoughts were pulling her down, it felt as if someone was hurling arrows at her heart, she made a weird choking noise as her emotions finally got her. She collapsed on the stones, scarcely feeling the pain of her fall. She curled up in a ball and allowed herself to weep, for she was also a human, and a human can only go for so long without succumbing into one's miseries.
She made no noise as her heart twisted but the tears never stopped their flow. She was weak, exhausted from all the pain and all she wanted was for it to end. She lifted her head to look at the scars which adorned her wrist and gently traced them with her finger. She smiled softly, he was coming soon, she could feel it in her bones. Her tears had dried by now, eyes glistening with hope, she stood up and walked to the edge of the creek, any moment now.
Then she felt his presence behind her, she turned around to see him, but he looked nothing like the illustrations in books, he did wear a long black robe, and his head was indeed hooded but he did not hide his face and she could see his eyes, she had often thought they must portray sorrow and loss. She was wrong, for they sparkled with joy and his smile gave her a sense of peace, " How can you be so happy?" she asked nonplussed, " I welcome those who have seen enough, who have accepted the truth and understood- Life is the beautiful lie, but death is the painful truth," he replied with an aura of mystery and divinity. She was filled with hope, " take my hand, lead me where I can forever feel this way," she said breathlessly.
" Are you sure my friend? You have time and a chance, if you turn away from me today, I shall wait for you till destiny calls me to you again," he asked, smiling at her but she was filled with doubt at that moment, what he had said made sense but did she really want to? but then she thought about how she had no one who understood her, and so she smiled and nodded " I'm ready, will you please take me?" she asked with a slight quiver, her eyes filled with confidence,
"Gladly," he answered smirking slightly, they shook hands and then without any fear or hesitation, she threw herself. The wind roared beside her ear, and her blood pounded, but all she felt was a relief. "Goodbye," she whispered before she hit the water, and when she did, he held her close to him and brought her to the place which humans may never really understand, was this heaven? she knew not, for it did not have white pillars, it was a forest, a forest which made everything look flawless, and she understood how, the heaven is what each individual wants it to be, what one wants to see.
The one who delivered her was nowhere in sight, perhaps he'd already gone to get someone else who was just as weary. She was startled out of her musing by someone clearing their throat behind her and as she turned around to look at all those who had gone before her, grandma opened her arms wide apart and she went running to her as all other thoughts vanished and hugged her tightly.
She was at peace, something that she thought was impossible to feel.
