The Lock To His Key

76. Astronomy Tower 🗼

Tw: Suicide

(Isabella's Pov)
"DRACO!" I screamed.
I was in utter shock.

That letter was heartbreaking.

I still love him, I just needed time.

"DRACO!" I screamed again.

My tears blurred my eyes, and my throat stung.
I'd never forgive myself if he died.

I looked at Mattheo, who was looking around in silence. This is how he gets. He sees what's going on, processes it, but can't respond.

"Draco?" Said Jackson.

I spotted a figure on the opposite side of the railing.

One step and he's gone.

The three of us ran over, and Draco turned to face me.

"Stay back." He said teary eyed.
"D-DON'T." I sobbed.

My hands shook, and I dropped the letter.

"Don't do it, please. I love you so much,
I need you." I sobbed.

"Isabella you don't need me. I ruined you,
I'm ruining everyone." He cried.

He lifted his foot, and I screamed.
"WAIT."

I grabbed his arm from across the railing.

This was such a weird thing to have to go through. It hurt seeing the person I love the most wanna kill himself.

It hurt even more that I understood how he felt.
I remember back when I tried. I felt helpless.

"Let me go." Cried Draco.

"I know you think it's better without you, but it's not. We'll work through our issues, please just come back. Draco I haven't been happy either, we'll get through this together."

"Isabella I cheated on you. Nothings gonna change that."

"We can look past it, Draco please."

I've never been this terrified in my life.

I can't believe Draco was seconds away from death. I didn't wanna startle him. I had to stay calm, but it was incredibly hard.

"Isabella I'm better off dead, you know it's true. You're upset now, but you'll see. All the pain I've caused will go away."

"No it won't. I love you so much more than you'll ever know. I know these past months have been hard, but all I need is time." I said.

"Please just let go!" Sobbed Draco.
I grabbed his arm tighter.

"Draco this isn't the right choice. I'll never recover from this. Your mother will never recover. I know you feel unloved, but I promise that's not the case."

"Isabella I don't wanna breathe anymore.
I'm suffering. If I do this I'll finally be at peace. Please." He begged.

I looked at Jackson and Mattheo.
"HELP ME GRAB HIM." I said.

Mattheo walked over, but didn't move.
He was still frozen.

"Jackson please help me." I said.

He looked at Draco, and his chest heavily rose up and down.

"Don't freeze on me too!" I cried.

"It's no use Isabella. They're not gonna help you, and you can't overpower me."

This can't be it.

"I've tried fighting against it, but I can't anymore. I don't wanna hurt anymore Isabella.
You'll be okay, you have it in you to recover.
My times up." He said.
