I almost made it. I almost died. I almost hit the pavement like I wanted. 

Almost.

 Almost isn't good enough. Not for me, but before I could hit the pavement that looked so soft and inviting in my mind, something hit my side and I was smashed through a window. 

"NO!" I screech, clawing, hitting, kicking in every direction, trying to get whatever hit me off my stomach because it was incredibly heavy. It was like a boulder had hit me, and was now refusing to move it's heavy ass off me. 

I give up and quit moving, hoping that this thing will just squish me into a little puddle on the floor. 

"I'm sorry mom..dad...I didn't mean to. I really didn't, but I hope you'll forgive me when I come to visit you soon." I whisper into the air when suddenly, what I thought was an inanimate object, started to move! I hear it groan a little, while I feel the weight slowly lift off me. It's too dark in the room for me to see this person's face, but I can see the strong frame of what I think is a man.

"W-What are you t-talking a-about?" the voice stutters, while the person quickly moves away like a ninja, all the way across the dark room. I hardly heard a thing, but the whooshing of air flowing by him. I sit up an quickly try to find where he went. He sounds no more than 15, 16 at most. 

"Nothing." I reply, a cold harshness accidentally creeping into my voice, making me come off as meaner than I wanted. 

"A-Are you O-OK? I'm p-pretty sure I didn't let you get any g-glass shards embedded i-in you, but I-I just wanted to make s-sure..." The voice stutters again. What the hell is he stuttering for? I'm the one who tried to jump, but he stopped me. 

Looking down at the blood that is flowing from the gash in my arm, I lie and answer, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry, You can go now." I try to keep the tears at bay, but I can't. The tears start flowing and I can't breathe anymore. "Fine! I-I-I'm not OK! I've d-done so many things! I-I can't go on, w-why did you even save me anyways? We don't even know each o-other!!" I cry out, as he rushes over and pulls my frail body into his strong arms. I don't even try to fight it. I just curl up and let it all out. I don't want to be alone anymore. I don't want my only escape to be suicide. I don't want it. I hate it. I hate it all.

"Shh... It's gonna be OK.." He repeats over and over into my ear, while rocking back and forth for what felt like forever. He didn't run, he didn't leave, he just stayed there. Holding me. No one ever cared as much as this stranger has in the last few minutes. I guess there are some good people in this world, but I'm not one of them. I don't deserve to live. What if I accidentally do the same thing to him?

"Thanks..." I whisper as he slowed down to a halt. Now we were just sitting in the middle of the floor, him holding my limp body in his large arms. Odd enough, I didn't want to move. I wanted to just stay there forever. I feel like everything doesn't matter anymore, just by being this close. How? I don't know. Its too hard to explain. But maybe, just maybe, I can make it through this Hell called Life. Maybe I don't have to die to feel better, because I don't want to. I want to live, and feel this feeling again.

"Please don't leave. Everyone always does." I mumble, hugging the stranger that has been so kind to me, as tight as I can.

"Never." Is the only reply I got, as he quietly stood up, pulling me up with him. And just like that, we stood there. Not moving at all.



OK, so I think that was a good ending to chapter 2 don't you? ~Love Misty-chan~ :)
