Mending Hearts

TW: mention of suicide attempt.

~~~

She took a deep breath, she knew she didn't have to do this but she just had to end it all. She was tired of everything life had to give. Another deep sigh escaped from her lips . All her time with life, she felt it was useless.

She moved her feet a little as she stood on the balcony. Looking down, she could see the cars moving around and people walking up and down the street , minding their own business. No one seemed to care about her and she didn't even care about that. Besides, if she end it all, no one would even notice she was gone. Right?

A little tear escaped her eye as she looked up to the sky. The feeling of hopelessness overwhelmed her. Nothing she ever does seemed to work out. She just felt like a living corpse.

Meanwhile, a knock was heard on the door of her apartment but she didn't even dare move an inch . All she wanted was just to end it all and this was the right time for it.

Meanwhile, a young man of about 20 years old stood outside the apartment door knocking, hoping someone would answer the door.

Was this the right apartment? He thought to himself as he looked at the brochure he held his hand and of course, it was the right house.

But why was nobody answering his knocks?

Getting impatient a bit, he pressed the knob then got himself in. His eyes roamed around the furnished apartment, the way it was arranged captivated him so much.

Later on, he kept his luggage in the free room that he guessed must have been his own part of the apartment. Then an idea popped in his mind. Maybe a little tour around the apartment won't hurt, right?

He walked out of his room and began his little tour around the apartment. Being the nosy person he was, he went over to the first room and the decors really made him shocked. His roommate's room was carefully decorated with pink and purple stuffs and the walls wore a shade of pink. Then he guessed, his roommate must be a girl.

" Hello?" He called out hoping someone would hear him and reply. But unfortunately, all he got back was silence. He then noticed that the apartment had a balcony.

Curious, he walked over to the balcony but when he got there, he was beyond shocked by what he was seeing.

" Excuse me?" He said to the girl. Out of fear, she slipped off the balcony and was about to fall onto the busy street but fortunately, the young man grabbed her immediately preventing any disaster that was bound to happen making the two fall on each other.

" Are you alright?" He asked the trembling girl and all she could just do was look at him in fear. She stood up quickly, the young man doing the same.

" Hey, I'm not going to hurt you" he said to her , trying to get her to calm down but all that seemed futile as she ran back into the apartment and locked herself in her room.

Weird.  The young man thought to himself. He was still shook by what he had just seen and that was when he had the feeling of knowing who the girl was and why she was about to do what she wanted to do.
