/ Please Don't Leave Me / Story: Hold On / by Script Singer /-/
Script and Ember have been together for a few months now. But he has no idea how she truly feels inside; Suicidal.
She sat on her bed, her nose stuffy, eyes puffy and red from crying. She had been there for almost an hour now and she showed no signs of stopping. She slowly got up and walked over to her desk. She decided to try writing something to help express herself.
After a few frustrating minutes, she was unable to successfully write anything, so she then decided to write one last thing; a suicide note to her lover, Ember.
She grabbed a quill from the side of her desk and pulled out a piece of paper.
Dear Ember, She wrote.
It pains me to write this, but I can no longer bear the pain of my burdens any longer… I'm sorry that I must make this decision that affects us both. I love you so very much but the pain has grown too much to be able to cope.
I've decided to finally end my life to end my suffering. Please don't try to stop me, I've already made up my mind and you can't change it.
I love you very much, please don't make the same mistake that I made.
Goodbye, my love…
Script folded up the note neatly and walked out of the door, grabbing her saddlebag before she left her house.
Ember was enjoying a nice night in, when he heard the knock, he wasn't expecting anyone, confused he opened the door to an empty doorstep. Just a single note.
He picked it up and began to read it. He dropped it once he saw what it was and began flying to Script's house, hoping beyond hope that he wasn't too late. He didn't even read the whole note nor did he need to.
"Script, wait!" He shouted as he spotted her. Script only ignored him, she opened her door and slammed it behind her. "Script, please!"
Ember frantically tried the door, finding it locked. He backed up and bucked down the door, he refused to just let Script go. He rushed upstairs, calling out her name.
"Script, where are you?!"
He rushed through every room in Script's house before finding her in her room, standing in the window, getting ready to jump. His heart dropped into the pit of his stomach as he rushed over to grab her, but she jumped before he could. Ember flew out of the window and chased after her.
He flapped his wings as fast as he could, watching as Script hit the ground hearing a loud crack.
"NO!" He cried, landing beside her and picked her up in his arms. "Script, talk to me!"
Script opened her eyes slightly, letting out a soft moan. "E-Ember…" She mumbled. "I'm Sorry… I love you so much..."
"No, don't leave me! I need you here, I can't live without you!" Ember cried. "I love you…"
Script grew a slight smile on her face. "I love you too." She put her hoof on his cheek. Ember grasped it tightly as he leaned in for a kiss on her forehead.
"Don't leave me, please…" He whispered.
Script slowly shut her eyes. "I'm just gonna rest my eyes a bit…"
"Script, no! Don't close your eyes!"
Ember watched in horror as Script slowly shut her eyes and her chest stopped moving. He held her close in an embrace as he began to wail at the top of his lungs.
Script woke with a start, sweating and panting as tears streamed down her face.
"Script?" Ember spoke groggily from his position beside her. Script turned toward her coltfriend, taking in his sleepy appearance, she reached out just to make sure he's there. "I'm here, I'll always be here." Ember pulls Script into an embrace as tears roll into her pillow.
"I-I tried to-" Script cuts herself off with choked back sobs. "I tried to jump…and...and… d"
"It's ok." Ember rubs Script's back comfortingly. "I'm here." Script wraps her hooves around Ember, burying her muzzle into his hair. "I'm here," Ember whispers again, pulling Script impossibly closer as her breath shudders.
They lay like that for an eternity, yet not long enough, never long enough.
"I love you." Script whispers.
Ember hugs her tightly as he kisses her on the head. "I love you too"
Script let out a content sigh as she felt her exhaustion overwhelm her and finally found peace. She shut her eyes as a soft smile grew on her face.
He would always be here for her, no matter what.
