Chapter Two
Mercedes stands at the cliff edge, the mountain breeze caressing her hair. She looks at the green all about her; she remembers when her and her father used to come here. How her father used to lift her up and how much it scared her when he stepped too close to the cliff edge. The grass tickles her legs and tears cool her cheeks as she picks up her father ashes. She hears a car behind her and thinks great someone's come looking for me she turns around to see Kurt walking towards her, his blue eyes rimmed with tears looking at hers. She looks at his hair moving slightly in the wind, his scarf waving about his shoulders. Kurt runs to her and pulls her away from the cliff edge with strength she didn't know he had in him; he pulls her close and strokes her hair. "Don't you dare do that again!" he shouts at her when they pull apart Kurt, looks Mercedes in the eye "You broke my heart just now, don't do it again," Mercedes looks at Kurt and lets him drag her away "But why not? Why can't I do this, you done the same thing to me when you left and you do it every time I see you with Blain?" she laughs
"I guess you're gonna say that it's different but I have been making other people happy for so long that I forgot how to make me happy!" she tries to run back towards the cliff edge but Kurt pushes her onto the jeep. "Cedes, I am sorry for how your life has gone but that is not a good enough reason to kill yourself, is life really that bad?" he looks at her with those eyes, that have tuned as green as the grass around them "I-I love you, and I don't want to see you like this, so lifeless, where did my best friend go?" she looks at Kurt, then at the ashes in her hand. She and Kurt get into the car, they travel in silence and Mercedes stares out of the window blankly. They pull up in Kurt's driveway "Why are we here? Haven't you got a hot date with Blain?" Mercedes says as they walk into Kurt's house. "Yes I have, but you're more important right now and I think you should stay away from your house for a while."
