Kirstie

Mitch bent his legs and leaped. I ran and grabbed his arm, pulling him up with all my strength. His head smacked into the side of the bridge and I felt his body go limp. I set him down in the ground and looked at his limp form. I started crying and I picked him up bridal style and began walking as fast as I could. About 10 minutes in I noticed him shaking violently and his lips had a blue tinge. I quickly set him down and took off his wet cloths, leaving him in only his boxers. I took off my coat and wrapped it tight around his small body. I put the hood over his head and turned him so his face was on my shoulder. I then kept walking.
I finally saw the bus in the distance.
"AVI! KEVIN! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I yelled, my voice cracking and I was still sobbing. I watched as Avi ran, with Kevin close behind.
"Kirstie! What the hell are you doing out here!" Avi said sternly. He then noticed my coat.
"What is that?" Kevin asked curiously.
I cried even harder before setting Mitch on the ground. The hood slipped off and his head lolled to the side. He had a cut in his head that was bleeding. I heard them both gasp.
"W..what happened to him...?" Avi asked, his voice shaking. I saw Kevin run into the bus.
"He... He..." I tried to tell him but I couldn't. He picked up Mitch and unwrapped him from my coat. I looked over his body and started noticing thing I didn't before. His ribs were sticking out and his entire body was covered in hundreds of cuts. Avi saw to and he started crying. Kevin ran out.
"I called 911, they have an ambulance conning." He said.
"$hit!" Avi said loudly.
"What?!?" I asked.
He set Mitch on the ground and got in his knees.
"He stopped breathing..." Avi said before he started to do compressions on Mitch's chest. I hugged Kevin and started crying. Then I heard a gasp and foot steps. It was Scott.

Scott

I woke up to screaming and crying. I shot up in bed and noticed that everyone was gone. I heard Kirstie crying and followed the sound outside. I gasped and covered my mouth. I saw Kirstie crying into Kevin's chest while Avi was giving Mitch CPR on the ground. I slowly walked toward Mitch and Avi. As soon as I laid eyes on him I started crying. He was in only boxers, I could see his ribs very clearly, his chest arms and legs were covered in scars, and he had a huge cut on his head.
"What happened to him...?" I asked bearly able to whisper.
Kirstie let out a sob and walked over to me taking me into her arms. I heard sirens getting louder.
"He tried to jump..." She said quietly.
I looked at her in shock.
"What do you mean...?" Kevin asked.
"I watched Mitch take a whole bottle of pills and then he tried to jump off a bridge..." I started crying.
"Why would he do that..." I asked
Then the ambulance arrived.
About 6 doctors rushed towards us. Two started CPR using a AED.
"CLEAR!" I heard one yell and I watched Mitch's body convulse.
After about 5 minutes they got him breathing again. I watched them load him onto a stretcher and move him into the back. They wrapped his head and attached loads of wired to him. The put on an oxygen mask and started to close the doors.
"Wait!" I yelled running towards them. "I am coming as well!" The let me in. The drive to the hospital was total chaos but at least Mitch was still alive and breathing.
