Save Me From Myself

Chapter 1

**First Meeting Jasper**

My mind swirled with thoughts of pain and death. My beanie was pulled just enough to hang above my eyes. The wind picked up blowing my blonde hair to the side, covering part of my face. I looked down at the ground. Nobody cares about me. I thought. All I wanna do is jump, but where's my courage when I need it. I stepped away from the ledge. I can't do this no matter how much I want too. I've got a lot to live for, but even my own parents don't care about me. My life is a mess. I walked down the stairs away from the roof top.

As I was walking down I saw another girl heading towards the roof. She looked up at me. Her eyes were dark and dull, with her black hair to the side and bangs covering one of her eyes.
"Hey, it's Alex right?" She stopped me. I turned to her.
"Umm yeah.." I looked to the side rubbing my arm.
"Give this to my dad in 34D. I just need him to know..." She handed me a note and wiped her cheek, heading towards the roof. Being the curious person I am I looked at the note.
It read: To Dad, I don't know anymore. It seems like no one really appreciates me. I'm so depressed and upset with myself and it's not even my fault.. Being bullied at school doesn't make anything better. I get laughed at for the cuts on my wrist, legs, and shoulders. Dad I love you it's just this world hurts too much now I'm sorry... Goodbye."
It was signed Jasper. I can't let her do this to herself. I mean I want to do it too but I'm not gonna let her. I walked up to the roof the see her looking down and the ground below her. I calmly walked over to her and stood beside her.
"Pain is nice isn't?" I asked her with pain in my voice. "The things people will do for attention. Including making people want to die." She looked at me. Her eyes were red and puffy.
"I just want to die. I've been cutting since eighth grade. Now it just seems better to die." She wiped her eyes.
"I know. I was in your place twenty minutes ago. I want to die too. It would be a great feeling cause then I wouldn't be able to feel anymore pain. It would be gone." I looked up at her and backed off the edge. "But I backed away, cause if I hadn't we would both be dead now." She backed off the roof.
"You read my note?" She backed down off the edge and sat next to me in the gravel.
"Yeah, just was curious. I'm Alex." I smiled and handed her the note.
"Jasper." She took the note.
