I'm Ethan 25, years of age and I finally decided to end it, I'm here on top of a building whom my family own I'm ready to end my life since I'm tired, I'm so tired now I've been suffering for so long I've been suicidal for so long and this is the day I'm ending it this is the end of my suffering if you're wondering why am i suicidal well my parents died when I was a kid in a car crash and I'm the only one who survive our relatives blamed me for their death called me killer, murderer if only I didn't ask my parents to go on a trip they would have still been alive right now, well it's not my fault I was a kid that time I was 5 and all I can do is cry and also blamed myself, here I am now at the edge of the building I was about to jump when I suddenly heard someone screamed help so I looked around and I decided to look down and then I saw a woman hanging on the edge about to fall and asking for help

'Hey help me please' she said with a pleading voice

I don't know why but I helped her after pulled her up she thanked me I said its fine I asked her why she was there and she said

'I was about to jump but I changed my mind and then a strong wind blew me up and that's what happened I'm glad that you saved me' she said with a smile

'Oh I see, ok' I said in a somewhat depressing tone

So I went back to edge and was about to jump when she stopped me

'Stop!!' the lady screamed

'What' I said

'Do you want to die?' she said

'Yes now leave me alone'

'If you want to die then let's do it together' she said

I was astonished my eyes widened

'Huh?! Why?' I asked

'Well you saved me, I'm not going to let you die alone so I'm going to join you, lets die together' she said while giving me a smile

'So deal' she said as she went beside me

I was hesitant at first but I eventually agreed

'Deal'

'So what's your name?' she asked me

'E-ethan, you?'

'Elise my name is Elise' she said

We held each other's hands and about to jump and then I stopped I don't know why but it seemed like I changed my mind

It's been a few months since then

We tried everything to die but all of it failed

we checked in a hotel once we went to the bathroom and tried to hang ourselves in the shower but the shower broke we didn't know how to fix it so we ran away, we tried jumping off the balcony but then we fell down the pool, we tried so many ways but all of it failed we tried jumping off the bridge but cop stopped us so another fail for us, both of us started to travel around to find a perfect place to die I don't know why but I was enjoying myself.. I was happy

But everywhere we go everyone was looking at us weirdly as if I'm talking to a ghost so I asked Elise

'Hey why are they looking at us like that?' I asked

'I don't know, wait maybe we were actually with a ghost all this time!' she jokingly said while fake panicking which made me chuckle

both of us checked in a restaurant I ask a table for two and then here it is again the weird gazes but we decided to ignore it both went to our table after a few minutes the food arrived both of us started eating talking and laughing but I can still feel the weird gaze from people but and then again I decided to ignore it after eating we decided to check out
