I Don't Have Wings

Suicide

Ohio's POV

I wandered around town, it was nighttime, I have been getting incredibly depressed over the past few months. I just wandered around town looking at my feet most of the time then I look up and see a decently tall apartment building, looked around seven stories tall. All of a sudden I got an idea, a bad idea that I would likely regret, I sighed and headed for the building wondering why that came to mind, and specifically why I was going through with it. At the thought, my hands started getting shaky and sweaty, a shaky breath left my mouth slowly as I got closer. I looked up at the building that moved closer since the last time I looked, and soon, I started running towards the building. I, I didn't even know why I wanted to go through with jumping but my mind told me to, so I listened to it.

Soon enough, I was at the entrance of the building and I hesitantly entered, there was a reception desk but nobody was there so I headed off to the elevator. I stood in front of it and pressed a button that would send the elevator down and I waited for it, and when it did come down and the doors open, there was a man in there. I entered the elevator not saying a word to the human, he looked young though, around in his twenties. When the elevator doors closed, I was confused on why he never left, but then we made eye contact, it was rather awkward as neither of us tried to make conversation and only starred before the man made a move. "Um... what floor are you going to?" He asked. "Top floor." I said blankly and looked away at the floor.

I noticed the man nod at the corner of my eye. "Hey, are you a state? You have a flag on your face." The man said and I froze my eyes widening realizing I forgot to go into my human disguise when I went out of the house. I looked at the man like he murdered a child, my breathing had hitched trying to not maul the man right then and there. The man looked scared, he had regret in his eyes then my mind took over and I went for the mans neck and tore it off like an animal and spilled his guts, blood went everywhere. When I gained control again the elevator doors had opened and I stared at the mess I made and ran out and looked for the stairs to the roof and booked it up there.

I locked the door when I got on the roof my heart pounding and my body shaking, it, it happened again. I slid to the ground as tears began to pour from my eyes as I crawled away from the door to the roof and I held my shirt over my mouth breathing in the smell of blood that wasn't mine. My arm couldn't hold my body anymore and I fell to the ground hitting my head as my brain felt like it hit the inside of my skull. My head started to pound as I cried there processing what I had done to that innocent man, I guess I had a real reason to jump now.

When I had calmed down, I sat up grabbing my head as it began to hurt and I soon stood up and got closed to the edge of the roof. I took off my shoes and the accessories I had on me except for one thing, an oval locket that had a picture of my family, I wanted to take that with me into the afterlife. I grabbed the locket and opened it, I looked at the once complete family in the locked, but then I noticed somebody, a ghost, I couldn't make out who though but they were hugging dad from behind. Who was that person? I tried to get a closer look but the flag had red and white on it.

I starred at the locked for so long but closer it after a while and let it rest on my chest again. I looked up and looked over the edge, nervous, my whole body shook as tears streamed down my face and it started to rain. I starred over the edge getting even more nervous than I already was but convinced myself to jump and I rest one foot halfway over the edge and took a leap. I ended up falling head first and realized, that I didn't want to do this but I hit the ground my head shattering, I felt pain for a spilt few seconds before everything faded away to nothing.

America's POV

I sprinted around the empty city knowing that Ohio got out, I was looking for him everywhere Imperial following behind me. I soon changed to a full on run looking for him and not stopping til I did. Eventually I got lost in the city looking for him, I even forgot Imperial was still running around with me, trying to catch up. Soon enough, I slowed down to a walk when I was out of breath, I looked around to see Imperial running up to me, slow ass. When he caught up he looked at me completely out of breath. "How the fuck do ghosts get tired." I asked staring at him and he shrugged not talking to me, I sighed and started to walk, when I turned the corner I saw Ohio.

His head looked like it exploded or something, blood was everywhere and I ran to him falling to my knees. I didn't touch him but I sat there, tears forming in my eyes, I was just used to crying at this point. Imperial sat next to me and pointed out the locket, I looked at it and unclipped it from Ohio's neck as some of his head was still there. I opened the oval locket and looked at the picture, it was of all the states and me, the picture was untouched by blood and somehow the locket was not damaged. I stared at the picture, then I noticed a ghost, they were, hugging me? After getting a closer look, the ghost had a green looking uniform on and the flag was red and white. "Is this you?" I asked quiet and shakily holding up the locket the Imperial, he denied it, I could tell he was lying.

"Yes, yes that is you, I can tell when somebody is lying, even you, but why?" I asked him and he shrugged. "That locket was from more than a decade ago, I don't remember why." He said, his ghost silhouette turning from white to a pinkish hue, I was suddenly just confused, then he noticed and jolted up. "We should go home." He said. "Why are you pink though." I asked. "You ask too many questions." Imperial said putting his hand on my shoulder. "But is was only one question-" before I could finish he teleported us home, I was in my room and he was in the rocking chair I had and he only stared at me creepily.

We had an awkward moment of silence before I spoke up. "Are you gonna watch me get into my pajamas." I asked blankly. "nO-" he said and teleported out of the room. I sighed and went to my closet and got out my pajamas, and went to my bed and sat my pjs on it. I got undressed, I did it slowly because I had to undo the shoelaces and take my shoes off, it was always a pain in the ass to do that. I set the locket on my dresser then there was a nock on my door. "Are you done yet? You're taking forever." He asked. "No, unless you wanna see me naked." I said and there was just silence and I finished changing. "Ok come on!"
