Avery's POV

I walked down the street crying. I cry too much, I know. My tear ducts aren't very strong. Any pain blows right through them, leaking the whole damn ocean out.

I finally made it to the beach, sitting on the sand. It would be better if I just ended my life, no one wants me here. I mean, my own mother killed herself because of me.

I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them. I sat there looking at the beautiful blue water, it looked amazing. It was pretty hot out too...

I looked around, not a person was in sight. I smiled slightly, pulling off my clothes. I stayed in my undergarments and ran down to the water. I stop at the edge of the tide, the ocean suddenly looked 10x scarier.

I have always been a little intimated by the open waters. I brushed it off, maybe I needed to be daring for a second.

I walked slowly into the water, curling my toes at the temperature. I kept going though, I continued until I was about waist deep, I could barely see the bottom. I walked a few more feet and then laid back letting the water hold me.

I floated there and looked at the sky. This world is too beautiful for me. I slowly closed my eyes, the salt water seeping into my arm hurt, but not as much as my heart. The pain I felt right now was unreal.

Why did this happen? I finally got Kian, I was in love, full on love. But then all hell broke loose. As soon as I get a pinch of happiness, my depression comes and eats it up.

I opened my eyes once more, the sky had some how darkened in the few minutes I had been at the beach. I laughed, but my voice sounded gross. I closed my eyes again.

Slowly the tide picked up, the waves pulling on me ever so slightly. It would of been smart to get out, but I'm not smart right now.

Kian's POV

I patrolled the streets searching for Avery. Where would she be? My house? No, she doesn't have a key... Her house? Her dad would flip, no way.....Fuck!

I drove a little faster towards downtown. Maybe she went to Starbucks or some shit. I don't know!

"God dammit! Baby, please be alright." I prayed. I smiled a little thinking about her. She was literally my everything. I have no idea how this came to be. But just the way she.. ugh everything!

You could name anything about her, I loved it. She was utterly beautiful, and smart, and funny, and laid back, and cute, and just easy to be with.

I would take a bullet for her. I cringed at the thought of her hurt, the thought if her hurting herself. Before I knew it, my eyes stung.

"Be strong, motherfucker!" I pepped talked myself. But without Avery I almost felt weak. I need her as much as a druggy needs drugs.

I tightened my grip on the steering wheel now certain I would find her. I pulled out my phone just as I made it to the beach. I looked out on the ocean.

Wait! What's that? I stopped the car, and jumped out. Sprinting towards the beach, the sight became clearer. I smiled and sped up.

"AVERY! BABY! AVES!" I screamed waving my arms. I reached the waters edge, throwing my phone down and slipping off my clothes.

I swam as fast as I could. Faster, faster, faster! (That's what she said... ok sry) I sprang out or the water, causing her to jump.

"Ki-" I cut her off by smashing my lips into hers. I cupped her face as she wrapped her legs around my sides. She brought her hands to my hair, playing with it. I smiled, into the kiss.

"Baby." I breathed out. She wrapped her whole body around me tightly. I kissed her head, holding her up for support.

"Your not mad?!" I noticed she was crying now.

"Of course not. But please please please please stop. Aves you have to understand that I can't handle you hurting yourself. I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were this sad. I'm sorry, just please don't do this to yourself." I hugged her close.

She didn't respond. I pulled away a bit, and held her arm. She ripped it out of my grip. "No."

"Babe, I love you." I kissed her cheek. "I need to see you baby girl." She slowly gave me her wrist, looking away.

I looked down at her arm. "Avery, baby. No!" I sobbed, I wasn't ashamed of crying at this point.

I could cry for days. Her arms, I'm so stupid. "I'm sorry, Kian." She sobbed. I pulled her even tighter.

"Baby, please stop. You have to stop, Avery!" I whispered. She nodded, but didn't say anything. "We can find you help-" She cut me off.

"No."

"Fine, I'll help you myself." I cried into her hair. She rubbed my back, why is she so calm? "When did you do this?"

"Last night. In the shower." She looked down, I saw a tear dribble on her chin.

"Baby, no!" I sobbed again, louder. I was in the other room, I could have stopped this! "I'm so so so so sorry! I love you so much, please don't leave me." I begged.

"I won't. I love you too much to let you go." She kissed me. I smiled, she said she wouldn't leave, that's progress. "Come on, it's cold."

I scooped her up in my arms, holding her to me as we walked. I ran to our clothes and set her down. "Kian, I really am sorry."

"You don't have to be sorry. I'm sorry, I should have been there for you. You needed me and I wasn't even there." I scolded myself.

"No, baby, it's my fault. My dad just..." She trailed off.

"What did he do?" I straightened up.

"I can't, um.. right now." She looked at me. I nodded and grabbed her hands. "I love you."

"I love you too, baby." I leaned over and kissed her cheek. "You have me forever and ever. I'm here."

"Thanks Kian." She squeezed my hand. I smiled, happy to have my baby back.
