It was a cold night.
I just stared at the body of water in front of me.
The streetlights were dim. Two of the lights were switching on and off.
A soft breeze rustled my hair around.
Dead autumn leaves softly brushed against the street.
There were no cars on this bridge at this time.
The world around me looked scarce.
I heard the muffled sounds of the train station intercom playing a few yards away from where I was standing.
Seeing that there were no people around me relieved me.
No people to bother you.
To hurt you.
Or judge you.
Being alone is a great pleasure.
I sighed. And looked at how softly and slowly the streams of water moved.
Then, disturbing the tranquility I was experiencing, a car was driving fast and abruptly stopped where I was.
That car was definitely not following the speed limit.
"My god! Where the hell were you?! I was so worried. Were you- were you going to take your own life???" My mother screamed while running to me.
She hugged me so tight I thought I was going to suffocate. I'm not kidding.
"No, mom!" I managed to say while out of breath.
"Then why are you here? You didn't even leave a note or text!" My mom said in a rebuttal.
I broke off the hug with the last bit of strength I had.
"I didn't leave a note because I wasn't going to die. I just wanted to be alone." I said.
My mom smiled sadly.
"But that's dangerous for you! You can't be alone." My mom cried.
"But, what if I want to? It makes me feel better." I said quietly. My neck started to heat up, and my eyes started to burn.
My mother didn't know what I was going to do.
"You can't. You have to be safe." My mom whispered.
"No," I said firmly.
And I ran away. My mom screamed my name loudly. But her screams became fainter the more I ran down the bridge and into the woods.
I ran into the woods so my mother wouldn't be able to catch up with me in her car.
I'm not sure what I am going to do after this. Die, or live.
But I am sure that I'm not coming back.
The End.
