"So I would have come back from checking on Uni, our food in hand, and see you dangling from the f**king chandelier. In the f**king hallway?"
"I didn't think of that. I did try a few other places."
"Like what?"
"Well, I tried the bar that hangs across the shower. Yeah, we need a new shower."
"Hmm. I don't get it."
"Silver, this has nothing to do with you."
"No, the hallway. We- and the rope. Why a rope?"
"Whats wrong with a rope?"
"Isn't the rope all, like, old fashioned?"
"Isn't the whole point of hanging to strangle you?"
"Nope, it snaps your neck."
"I should have probably done more research."
"You should have at least bought pills."
"They only sell you one pack at a time."
"That's probably why they do that..."
"Not slitting my wrists. Don't have the balls for that. Not throwing myself in front of a train. Not being THAT guy."
"Pfft. Dick heads. Nothings worse then saying your last goodbye and a big F*CK YOU to the conductor."
"Don't have access to a tall building."
"This one."
"Don't tempt me. In the movies, they have beam that go across the ceiling. We don't have those."
"So your next best shot was the f**king chandelier? In the f*cking hallway?"
"Yeah... I guess so."
"You realize, that's not gonna hold your weight. It'll come down with you."
"No it won't"
I sit with the rope around my neck, the chandelier on the arm of the couch. I started eating the food that Silver brought home.
"Did you leave a note?" Silver asked me, turning her head.
"A note?"
"Yeah, like a note. You know, like a final goodbye. Like, people do that."
"A video."
"You made a video?" She paused. "oh... that's nice." she smiled. "can we watch it?" She chuckled, a grin on her face.
"Can we not?" I look at her. "it will be so weird."
"Hmm?"
"Fine, it's on my desk."
She put her food down and bounced up, going to my desk and picked up a dvd.
"A DVD?"
"It's the video..."
"You put it on a DVD?!" She laughed. "that's doesn't sound right. Suicide DVD."
"I tried to kill myself."
"It's a tape. like, it's ALWAYS a tape."
"The only tape I have is The Sleeping Princess or something."
"Did you actually think Sleeping Beauty was... that?"
"Yeah that, I couldn't tape over that."
"What if Once Upon a Dream came on after?" She laughed. She put the disk into her laptop and started singing the 24th Century Fox theme.
"Don't... don't be a dick." I sigh. She put the laptop down and looked at me. She pressed play as she sat down.
