Just You and Me

1. Hey

"Hey."

I heard the voice, but I didn't react in any way.

"What are you doing up here?"

What's it matter to you? You don't care about me. No one does. Living had become pointless. My life is pointless. I'm a waste of space. A waste of time.

This guy is wasting his time.

"I felt like this once."

What? You don't even know me. You don't know why I'm up here. Who even are you.

"I felt like...I don't know. I felt like I didn't matter. That I didn't have any reason to be standing on this earth."

So what? You felt the same way I do. Doesn't change the fact that my life actually is meaningless.

"Then...I thought about it a little more. And I remembered what my mom told me. I think you should hear it too. So...can you look at me please?"

What is this feeling? When I came up here I hadn't felt anything for years. Now...I feel like whoever this person is...I feel something towards them.

So I turned to face him.

He had ash-blonde hair with grey tips. He looked around the same age as me and he had brown eyes. When I turned to him he gave a small smile before he closed his eyes and said, "Everyone has a reason here. Some find it faster then others, but that doesn't mean you don't have one" He said before he chuckled.

"I think I just found mine...so I think you could find yours." He said before he held his hand out for me.

His words repeated in my head.

That doesn't mean you don't have one.

I've been looking for years, and I've never found it. Why should I believe him?

I don't have a reason. Nobody cares about me, and no one ever-

"Please. Please just take my hand."

If no one cares though...why is he still here?

Why is he still here trying to stop me from killing myself.

Maybe...he's the reason?

I thought about it for a minute, before I slowly reached my hand out for his.

He reached out further and grabbed my hand. He smiled as he helped me off the ledge of the building.

"My name is Semi Eita."

I couldn't help but start sobbing.

I don't know why. After all these years of feeling absolutely nothing I felt a flood of emotions hit me.

Happiness, sadness, anxiousness, hurt, curiosity.

Semi Eita.

How are you making me feel these things?

He pulled me in a hug and I immediately hugged him back.

I cried into his shoulder for what felt like hours, thinking about all these things that I was feeling.

I knew almost all of them from my childhood, from before things went wrong.

But there's one I couldn't recognize.

I've never felt anything like it before, but it's a feeling that feels great. It feels like more then happiness it feels like my heart is racing. Not from fear but from happiness, but it's more then just happiness.

Maybe...love?
