Awkward Travels Lead To Awkward Conversations

So Andrew and I started West for no where I guess since he came from the north and I came from the south. And we walked side by side but with like a 6 inches rule so we dont collide hip to hip with eachother >.<. We walked for about half an hour until I might have broke the silence in the wrong way.

"So why did you leave?"
"Huh?" He said confused
"You know why did you run away?"
"Oh well it's a long story" he said shyly.
"Well it's a long freaking walk to no where land so we have tons of time..." I said sarcastically.
"Well I guess I could. But as long as you promise me why you left your town probly for good too." "Deal?" He said.

I had to think about that for a moment because I am not much for telling any personal business. So I guess I could give it a go since I'm the one who started this, and he is offering to tell his story.
"Deal" I finally said. And then he nodded his head and then once we looked up we came across this beautiful park. And we both looked at each other and walked over to a bench under this tree. We didnt care if we were here cause it was almost dusk and no one is here anyway. I nodded at him for approval that I was listening. And he gave me one in return.

" I hated it there. In my town. Even though I know that I should love it because it is one of those rich and snobby neighborhoods. But that is why I left, because of the rich and snobby kids that lived there with ther rich and snobby parents. And it had its own school and stuff and I had no choice but to go to that stupid school. Every day when I would go to school or for a walk I would get these god awful stares at my clothes or at my hair or just romotly in my direction. I didnt pay much attention to those kinda of things but just the other day aka the day i ran away. They gotten physical with me and for no apparent reason I didnt know why. I was walking out of the lunch line because I wasnt in the mood to eat and then this jock walked by and tripped me. My ribs were showing and then the scars on my wrist arm and waist were showing. They started calling me every name in the book I guess. And i lost it. I ran out of the school and ran home, it started raining and stuff when i left but i didnt care i grabbed clothes and money and shoved it in this bookbag" he said pointing to the bag next to him. " and i ran all the way down here. Then i was looking at the bridge wanting to jump. But then i saw you. I knew i had to do something. So i did."

I was shocked. Not only because he wanted to stop me. But because the same damn thing happend to me. The exact.

"So what about you Jade? What's your story?"

"You wont belive me but it was the same damn thing. Except it was in the gym and my short went up and showed everything you said pluse my legs."

"Oh no I belive you... Maybe it was fait and we just happend to be going through hell and it just was a coincidence..."

I agreed and then we leaned up on eachother so we can get some sleep before we started walking again. We stared up at the first stats in the sky probroaly hoping for a mirical of a shooting star when I started opening my stupid mouth again. "Can you tell me why you still did it though..." "Did what?" He said confused
"You know save me from jumping of the bridge plumiting to my death."
It was quoted for a minute and he say up and looked at me dead in the eye... "Only shitty people deserve stuff like that. And you are the total opposite. And you dont deserve to die alone or just because this horrible world says too. We deserve to fight till we fall. Not cause we jumped..." He said. I was shocked and fluttershy when he said that. When we layed back down I belive I actually had a real smile on my face.

Maybe running away with him wasnt too bad...
