Saved

Saved {2}

I felt horrible. The drugs that they had given me had worn off and my real memory was starting to come back: like the reasons I wanted to die when I fell off my apartment building. I shuddered and looked up at my twelve year-old sister; who was the only people who almost stopped me from climbing to the top of my building.

Tears started to form in her eyes as she looked at me. I stood up and hugged her. She had been through way too much for her age and she was still one of the (mentally) strongest people I had ever met.

" I thought you were dead!" she cried. " I was right near where you fell. I thought I had seen my brother die!" her words did nothing to help though. Remembering my life made me want to kill myself. I zoned out of my sister's talk until something caught my ear.

"How did you survive? You fell twenty stories without stopping." She asked.

"What?" I asked. "That can not be right. I was almost positive that something else happened." I said.

" You fell twenty stories without stopping. What else happened?" She said looking questioningly at me. I then told her how from my point of view it looked like I had fallen almost all the way down then stopped- in midair a few feet above the ground long enough to stop my momentum before finishing my descent. After I told her this she looked at me weirdly. I told her that I wasn't just being crazy. Something truly super-natural was happening here.

"I'm not saying that you are crazy." She soothed. " I'm just saying that I saw something different. I didn't see you stop, and as far as I'm concerned no one saw you stop. You may have seen it, but no one else did." She said sadly.

I sighed. I was still looking for some explanation as to what had happened yesterday, but this new piece of information made the whole thing even more puzzling. At least in my version, it sounded like some supernatural force had saved me. Deep down, I knew I could still believe my eyes. I knew that somehow, I could find an explanation for these events.

I went into the small room that I had slept in my entire life. On my desk was a laptop that looked like it had sat there since the dawn of time. I sat down in my little swivel chair and turned on my laptop. I logged on, and then went straight to my home page: Facebook. I was already signed in to my account: Adamthedoodler. On my wall were the same old things: pictures of my friends and me, a couple not very good drawings, and then this one drawing which I had done two years ago.

It struck me as familiar now, but not because I had drawn it. It was a wing. I had spent hours doing the details. Each simple feather had taken me five to ten minutes. But now somehow it seemed familiar.

Taking my mind off that, I went to some of my school photos. There were a lot of photos of the sports players. I wasn't in most of them, because the lacrosse was not very popular at our school. I clicked on one of the faces of the football team. It brought me to his profile page where he had just posted something less than an hour ago.

It was a picture of me. It was a very high-quality photo, so I assumed it was from the news. In the picture I was sprawled on the ground but my face was turned towards the camera so you could still tell it was I. It must've been taken directly after I had fell for the ambulance wasn't in the picture. The caption was: repost this if you think he should have died. Frankly I think I should have died, but this... this was in utter hatred of me.

Half an hour later after looking at some other people's profiles to be greeted by that picture, I signed off. I closed my laptop and went to lie down on my bed. I had tears in my eyes. I had half a mind to go drink bleach right then and end it all. But something kept me hanging on to this horrible world. Like a small drawn wing that was holding me above the ground.

Thanks for reading! I hope this chapter gives some insight into Adam's life and why he killed himself.. or tried to. Thank you for all the good feedback so far and a VOTE or even more FEEDBACK might get me to write a little faster... you never know! THANKS AGAIN!! :D
