Just until I finish something else, take an old Immortalfox one shot. I love you my Cheeses! I'll get back into the swing of things soon! I'm hoping to have one done tonight but with how I've been- don't put too much trust into it.

Well, I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that, it's never that bad
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And you're not sure you can take this anymore

Aleks sat crying over his sink. The razor wasn't helping this time. He just needed release from the words that surrounded him and suffocated. All he wanted was freedom. Permanent freedom.

So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone

As Aleks ran towards the cliff, he heard his and Eddie's song play. He knew Eddie must be worried sick. He was the only person who cared.

So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Aleks stopped running and let tears fall as he reached the edge.

Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come

But Aleks knew he was done. Eddie always tried to save him, to show him he cared. All Aleks wanted was relief. He wanted the hurt to stop. He was done. He had made it far enough.

Aleks felt his phone begin ringing, playing their song:
"So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone"

Aleks was sobbing now as he stepped forward. He just couldn't bare the thought of Eddie right now. He needed to leave. To be done.

So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Aleks closed his eyes as the song stopped. Tears fell more as he stepped forward more.

Well, everybody's hit the bottom
Everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on...

"Aleks!"

Just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone

Eddie quickly pulled the boy back from the ledge and held him close. He sang to him as he calmed down.

"So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby".
