I walk for ages. The sun sets and the lamp posts turn on. The number of cars that go by decrease and no ones around. My eyes fill up with tears but I refuse to let them trickle down my face. I carry on walking. I was starting to enter a place I've never seen before, but it didn't bother me. No one would notice that I'm gone. No one would care that they wouldn't see me again. What was my point here. Across the road I see a pub called The Empty Boot. I walk over and enter. There's not too many people there. I walk up to the bar tender and ask for a pint. It doesn't take long before I've finished it all. I ask for two more and they're gone within 10 minutes. The bar tender refuses to give me anymore. He could see I wasn't right. "Look. If I give you anymore there is going to be some issues. You've managed to drink three pints in less then 20 minutes." He looks at me concerned. Without saying anything, I get my wallet out. Or so I thought I would. I forgot i didn't bring it with me. "Umm. I'm sorry. I. I um don't have-" He looks at me and says "Don't fret. I'll let you have it free. I can tell you've had a few problems." He smiles at me but I can't smile back. I've lost all happiness inside of me. All I can say is thank you. I turn around and leave. I went in the opposite way to my house. I didn't want to go there ever again. Anyway, it would probably of been robbed as i didn't lock the door and bring the keys. I switched my phone on. My phone had 5% battery. It was dying. I was dying.
I carry on walking when I come across the bridge...

A bridge that goes across a river. I walk up the path. I walk fast as I want to be quick. The bridge was steep. No cars past by. No people. The whole town was asleep. And soon enough, I would be asleep. Be in a permanent sleep. My eyes tear up again. But this time I let them stay. One at a time, they start to run down my face. I started to regret everything. My whole life. Everything. I knew what I had to do though. I eventually go to the top. It was a long way down. My heart starts beating faster than normal. I feel sick. I see someone at the bottoms of the bridge starting to run. I stand on the ledge. "GOOD BYE" I scream at the top of my lungs. I see the person getting closer and closer. I close my eyes and slowly lean forward... JUMP
