Sick.

Chapter 7

Jeffrey's POV:

Claire seemed a bit weird recently. She wouldn't eat, she wouldn't talk, and she always just took naps. I felt bored as hell so I played on my phone until I got a call from Claire.

"Babe?" I answered.

"Hi is this Claire's mate?" A British accent came over the phone.

"Um yeah?"

"Right so your girlfriend is about to jump off the bridge." He chuckled.

Why the hell does he find it funny?
"Wait wait wait... She's trying to suicide?" I said.

She couldn't.

"Looks like it." He shot back.

I immediately hung up and ran outside to my car. I got there in 2 minutes since it was only a couple miles away.

Right when I got there people were surrounded around a high railing. Then I noticed Claire.

She had both her arms out and looked like she was ready to jump any second.

"CLAIRE!!" I yelled. I started running but tripped over a kids skate board. I flipped him off and kept running.

There was a massive crowd. Bigger then what I saw in the beginning. "Claire! Honey, please listen to me." I begged. I could feel tears start to build up.

"Jeffrey?" She sobbed. Her eyes were really red and puffy. "Please don't do this. We could talk it over." I pleaded.

"No Jeffrey... I'm sick of all of this. It's way easier to just jump then deal with all of this." She cried.

I stepped closer.

"No Jeffrey, if you tackle me down I swear I will never forgive you for it." She yelled.

I stepped even closer.

"I love you" she mouthed.

Then she jumped.

"NO!" I sobbed. I jumped and caught her right by her waist when Claire was in the air, then pulled her down.

We both fell on the floor and Claire began to cry. I was hunched over her, trying to get her to calm down.

"Why did you do it?!" She yelled. I told you not to Jeffrey!"

She repeatedly hit me in the chest. I hugged her tightly trying to comfort her, but she only sobbed in my shoulders even more.

"I love you too much Claire. You mean a lot and you've changed me. If you jumped and I wasn't quick enough to catch you, I would have jumped as well. You can't keep doing this love, your scaring me. If you need help tell me, please." I whispered.

I let go of her and cupped her face in my hands. I absolutely adored this woman. Her eyes were red and puffy. As well as clearly showing she hadn't gotten much sleep.

"I love you too." She smiled. Showing her cute little dimples. I gave her a warm smile and helped her up.

I looked over and saw a guy with Claire's phone. I guess that's the British dude.

"Thank you" I said to him, taking the phone.

"No problem, your girlfriends hot by the way." He said, again in the accent.

"I know" I shot back. Giving him a dirty look. I heard Claire laugh so I turned around and winked at her.

The rest of the car ride was silent but our hands intertwined with each other.

I glanced over and saw Claire trying to fight back her sleep.

"You can sleep if you want." I whispered. She turned to me then smiled. Then fell fast asleep.
