Warning: Suicide attempt

(Rui's POV)

Tsukasa-kun came to school again after a week

His eyes are dead just like last week

After school, I decided to quietly follow him

I don't want him to run away again

(Tsukasa's POV)

I'm wandering aimlessly after school, but I couldn't control myself

It's as if the inner demons are controlling me, leading me to...

The rooftop...

No, Tsukasa, get a grip of yourself, fast, before it's too late

I can't do it like this

But maybe...

Maybe I could be with Saki again...

It's just a small price to pay...

They won't notice anyway...

"Only if Rui likes me back..."

I mutter to myself as I slowly drift towards the rooftop

(Rui's POV)

Did he say something?

Nevermind that, I have a person to save

I need to give him a hope he will never forget

I followed him to the rooftop, I have to act, fast

I ran as fast as I could, he already jumped off

But I managed to grab him by his arm

Tsukasa
Rui?..

"Yes, it's me..."

I confess my feelings as tears form in my eyes

"Please don't leave me, Tsukasa-kun!"

His empty eyes widened

"I've liked you ever since way before all this happened, and once you stopped showing up to school, I realised that you mean everything to me"

A few tears ran down, dripping onto his face

"I'd be miserable if you were to leave me now, I would turn into the same empty state you're currently in"

His eyes showed a little bit of light

"So please, don't leave like this!"

I can feel my grip weakening, but I feel Tsukasa-kun holding my arm

Tsukasa
Can you pull me up now?
I can't confess my feelings down here

"Fufu, right"

Through the tears, I still let out a giggle

I pulled him back up

Tsukasa
Ever since she died, I couldn't get a hold of myself

I could hear a bit of sobbing through his voice

Tsukasa
But when I accidentally bumped into you last week, my sadness eased a little
After a day or two I was sure I wanted that feeling again
Today I've been following you around for a bit
And I feel a bit better
Now, I'm sure that I have feelings for you

Now crying, he hugged me

I hugged back, speaking in a very soft voice

"It'll be fine, I'm here now"
