Harry's POV

I stood on the edge of the bridge staring down at the long drop and the ice cold water at the end of it.

Just one step and it would all be over.

One step and they wouldn't be able to hurt me ever again.

So why couldn't I move my legs.

I reached up brushing my fingers over the still bleeding cut on the back of my head.

FLASHBACK

"You little bastard!"

Those words where normal to me that was my dads way of saying hello to him.

It wasn't the words that made him tense up it was the way he said it. His words where slurred and the house reeked of vodka.

SHIT.

"You're late!" His farther yelled coming through into the hallway.

I didn't reply,

"Answer me!" He yelled grabbing me and pushing me up against the wall

(It was easier to get him mad when he was drunk.)

"I had to go see the principal."

"What did you do this time?" He asked banging my head against the wall.

"Nothing."

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" He bashed my head again, harder.

"I'm not!"

"You pice of shit!" He banged my head against the wall one more time before dropping me to the ground.

FLASHBACK OVER

That was how I'd ended up standing on the edge of a bridge trying to convince myself to jump.

I'd taken enough of his bullshit.

"Hey you, what the hell are you doing!?"

I turned around almost loosing my balance but retaining it quickly.

Standing there behind me was a tall boy with red hair styled into a quiff with misty blue-grey eyes that I couldn't stop looking at.

"What does it look like I'm doing?"

"Well it looks like your trying to jump of a bridge."

His voice sounded half concerned.

A quarter sassy.

And a quarter confused.

"Why do you care?"

"Well, because if you jump I'll have to dive in after you."

I raised my eyebrows at him but he looked genuinely serious.

"You'd die."

"Nah the fall wouldn't kill you, now drowning that's a different story."

He walked over to the edge holding out his hand to me,

"Come on, you don't have to do this."

"You can't stop me!"

"Ok then."

He stepped back from the edge and started taking off his shoes and jacket before looking at me expectantly.

I shut my eyes taking a deep breath.

This guy wouldn't jump after me.

Would he?

I opened my eyes looking him in the eyes.

They looked sad, as though he really cared about me.

I sighed stepping away from the edge.

A huge smile spread across his face as he pulled me into a hug.

I felt tears running down my face.

"Thank you..."

"Louis."

He said hugging me tighter.
