Lost Edge - Peter Petrelli [1]

Don't Look Back

Sage

I was sitting next to Peter in the hospital, I just so freaked out about what happened. About what I did. Out of no where Peter gasped for air and Nathan grabs his shoulder "Whoa, whoa. Easy, buddy." He said pushing him back lightly "Where am I?" He ask, looking around. "You're in a hospital." I say leaning away from the chair "What happened?" He ask while holding hid head "You don't remember?" Nathan ask. Peter just sighs "No." He says while shaking his head "You jumped, Pete." What?! What is he saying? Why wasn't he telling his the truth. I looked at him with surprise but he ignored me. "Jumped?" Peter says with a groans, then he  sits up from the hospital bed. "Yeah. Off the roof of a 15-story building. You tried to kill yourself. You were a little wound up yesterday, but I thought you were just being you."I was about to says something but Nathan just looked at me. " What are you talking about? I didn't ... I didn't try to kill myself. You were in the alley below. I jumped, and ... you ... you flew."

" I what?" Nathan asked like he was surprised "You flew up and you caught me." Peter said somewhat repeating himself. He doesn't know what i did. I have to tell him the truth when Nathan leaves "You jumped ... Peter. Twenty-five feet to a fire escape. I climbed up and carried you down. That's what happened. The rest is just crazy talk. You understand?"

Peter (finally!)

Sage went to go get coffee but I guess she forgot something maybe because it has been a while. I sits in the hospital bed drawing, two stick figures. One floating in the air, the other not. In the top right corner, I drawn a symbol. Someone knocks on the glass. I looks up, my mom smiles at me.I quickly put the drawing aside and she enters the room. "Help me understand what you were doing on that roof." She says as she sit down on the chair thats next to the bed.  "I can't. Not yet. But I will. You just have to trust me." She just looks at me and starts taking clothes out of the bag that she's must have brought with her. "There's something you need to know about your father's death." She pauses "He committed suicide."

 "What?" I ask her in surprise "He committed suicide. I found him on the floor of the bathroom." She says and she starts to fiddle with her hands "You said he had a heart attack."I state "I lied. For his reputation, his heart was fine." She says as she looks back at me. "But he'd had two others before that." I state once again "Well, I lied about those too. Suicide attempts, both of them. He finally got what he wanted. When he was 23, he was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. He couldn't help it. It was just who he was." I sighs "Why didn't I know about any of this before?" I ask her, I tired my hardest not to sound angry "Your father and I decided not to tell you since the disorder can have a genetic link, and you were always so sensitive. We didn't want you to worry about it."

"But you're telling me now." I ask "It can start with delusions of grandeur. Thinking you're invincible or indestructible. They are irrational thoughts that then turn suicidal. It's time you took a hard look at your life. And if there are changes to be made, I want to be here to help you. Because there's something else I never told you. Come here. You were always my favorite. I cannot lose you." She stands up and kisses my fore head  "Yeah." She walked out the door and Sage was already at the door sipping her coffee, then leaves with my mom.

Sage -Time skip-

"Hello?" I  say while putting my phone on speaker ."Help me find peter" I chuckle "Is he hiding from you?" then wait for and answer "I don't know, maybe?" "You don't know your brother at all do you Nathan." I don't wait for an answer. "Meet me outside of my apartment building. I know where he likes to hide" I walk outside to see Nathan already outside my building. "Whatthe... Did you fly here or something?" He rolls his eyes at me "Haha, very funny, now lets go." We walk to my fathers building and go up to the rooftop, Peter is sitting on the edge of the rooftop. He looks down at the cars below."I've been looking all over for you. I even asked Sage for help" He ignores the fact that he looked for him all day "Did you know about dad's depression?" It was quiet for a bit, I didn't know about this, so this is news to me. "Yeah." Nathan said "Why didn't you ever tell me?" Peter asked, turning his head towards us. "Because everyone's entitled to their secrets, Peter." He say looking at me then at Peter "I was so sure when it happened. Now it turns out I'm just ... going crazy." Peter stands up. He looks down at the cars below.

"Look, hey ... we've been through this before. We've played this game, okay? Let's just ... let's just go."Peter looks at Nathan then at me "Tell me what happened, Nathan. When I jumped. Tell me you flew. I wanna hear you say that you flew. Tell me, or I'll jump again." I take a slow step forward "Peter don't" He steps closer to the edge of the platform and I try to walk towards him but Nathan gets a hold of my shoulder. "Hey, good luck on your campaign ... when I'm splattered all over the ground below." He says as he turns to us for a while. "Don't do this Peter" I said "All right. You want the truth?" Nathan says "Yeah."

"We both flew. Pete ... I caught you, and I lost control. You're too heavy. We both started falling to the ground and just before we — just before we hit, Sage caught you somehow" Peter looks at me then at Nathan "Are you lying to me?" I sighs "Why would we?" Nathan shakes his head. But Peter doesn't believe us. " You're lying to me" He takes a couple of steps toward Nathan and me "You're trying to tell me what you think I wanna hear. You're lying to me again!" We don't doesn't say anything. I look at Peter's feet, then back up at Peter. I point to his feet and chuckle. Peter looks down and sees that he's floating a couple feet above the rooftop. He looks back at us then promptly falters and falls to the ground. I laugh a little as I see that peter is thrilled then hugs us "Did you see that? Did you see that? I flew?"I chuckle once again "Yeah" I say as Peter smiles.
