It's a misty morning, my eyes are fuzzy and I'm tired of this world. My Life is dull and lifeless it's like i'm drifting through the days, almost like a brainwashed zombie. No one wants me here, no one cares about my well-being and i'm sure of it. Losing my day dream, i pull myself back the reality realising where i was, i'm standing on the edge of a cliff face with one foot hovering in the air; below me is the harsh cold water of the ocean waiting to consume my lifeless body. I inhaled the fresh clean air believing it's my last breath, whilst closing my eyes picturing how better the world will be without me. The wind will carry my down into the welcoming life of the dead where i can be at my happiest, hopefully. I hear distant shouting behind me. 'They're coming to stop you.' the voice inside my head informs me. 'Do it now or you'll never get the chance again. The voice is coming closer i begin to prepare myself to jump to end it all, to leave this world, to be finally be free. I lean forward clenching the hem of my shirt shutting my eyes. A strong force pulls me back and slamming me to the ground. "What were you thinking!?" a male voice screams at me.
"What does it matter to you?" i yell back as a tears stream down my heated cheeks. I refused to open my eyes and see something i didn't want to see. Life. Its to much for me i can't handle what the world has gave to me, i'm not strong enough to carry myself through the challenges of life. I feel the grass beneath me and i can smell the salty air still, nothings changed.
"Hey, please open your eyes and realise what you were just going to do." the man's voice is calmer now. The only way this guy is going to leave me alone is if i say something. "I was going to fly with the birds." i mumble. "What? So you were just going to end your life like that." He said whilst clicking his fingers. This really bursted my bubble. "No i was going to make the world a better place without me existing." i yelled. " In Fact people want me to die so i'll just do them a favour and hurry up and do it, no one wants me alive anyways." i was out of breath after announcing my life story. I gave up on keeping my eyes closed and slowly opened them, at first it was the sun that blinded me but i soon got over that. The second thing was him.
*Flash back to her past life*
"Go kill yourself! you're a waste of a life." This was a subtle comment for me they're usually worse, I carried on walking trying to ignore the disgusting words; the words felt like knifes piercing my self esteem. By now my esteem is probably lower than the grades that kid gets, but that's probably the reason why he says these comments to me to let his anger out. In the real world he's screwed because in high school he has everyone 'under his control' but it's the other way around when you leave school, you have to do everything yourself and you can't bully people to do it for you.
*Continuing from where the story left off.*
"Look, you're going to have to tell me your name." the 'man' demanded as he pulled me up from the grass. I brushed off my knees and straightened my back. "It's Mae." i announced. I stared at him trying to take in his features and realised he's not a fully grown man but a teen. His hair was dirty blonde, his eyes were a light shade of blue; his body was lean, tall and slightly muscular. The clothes that dressed him were all black, the converse, the skinny jeans and a band tee. It was almost like he was 'trying' to be punk rock. He looked perfect with the morning sun shining on his fair skin it's like he's an angel. *snap* the sound of his fingers clicking dragged me out of the daydream. "Mae? I like that name. Mines Luke." he held out his hand for me to shake but i just stared into his eyes wondering why he stopped me. I could just come out with the question, I mean I've got nothing to lose? But what would his answer be? "Why did you stop me? It's not like you know me?" It took all I had to ask, I've never wanted to know what people thought about me I was always too scared,but this was different. "Mae I stopped you because I can't let someone end their life without actually living it, I believe everyone deserves a life.'' Luke mumbled.
" I don't need to live my life, there's no point it'll just be hell for me and everyone else around me." I back fired. "Well then, I guess you're sticking with me." He smirked.
