I am honestly freaking out.

He's not anywhere!

I can't find him.

It's been, like, 5 hours since the fight between Stephen and Jack and I can't find Jack anywhere.

I've searched the school, the shops, his and my house, and now I was driving to the park in the pitch blackness of night.

I parked, got out and collected my flashlight.

"JACK!" I yell.

I can't hear a thing and worry is eating away at me.

I've failed him.

I can't call his family, they won't care, I can't call my dad, he's probably still drunk, as always, I can't call the police, it's not a missing person until like forty-eight hours or something.

He has me and me alone to save him from his sadness and I can't find him anywhere.

"Dammit!" I mutter under my breath.

Then I hear it.

Soft sobbing.

"Jack?" I whisper so I don't startle him.

I don’t think he can hear me but it's coming from the railway bridge.

After 5 minutes of getting tangled in the shrub I find him.

Alone.

On top of the bridge.

Ready to jump.

"NO!"

I think I’m too late.
