Dan's POV
The rain gently dropped on my face. Dark, ominous clouds hung above... I was running. Trying to find a way to escape. A way to just end it. End it now.
After all, there was no point in staying. I just moved from my home town with my family. My mom is dying in the hospital. My dad is just weak, he's trying to make us money to keep up but the hospital bills are too much. And my older brother.... Well he died a long time ago. AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT.
As these thoughts ran through my head I was getting closer and closer to the way out. The way to end my life.
I saw the point that would just be perfect. But as I was sprinting to end what I thought would be the perfect idea, I ran into someone.
They had beautiful jet black hair, with sparkling blue eyes. Slowly he started to stare at me. We were both just looking. Admiring. Well at least I was.
"You ok man?" Said the handsome man. He looked like a kind person, wearing a space cat t shirt and black jeans. Of course rocking a pikachu hat.
I was speechless.... After a moment I wheezed "I think so"
"Well you don't look like it... Hi! I'm Phil!" He said as he stretched out his hand.
Slowly I grabbed his hand and whispered. "I'm Dan.."
"What were you doing there Dan??"
"Oh nothing... Just running to the library to um. Study... Yeah..."
Phil obviously wasn't buying his lie. But I can't blame him. Red face. Red eyes. Tears. Shaky voice.
"Ok...." He said suspiciously. "Anyway what school do you go to?"
"East London high school..."
"Me too! GO FIGHTING UNICORNS!!!"
I started cracking up.
"Fighting unicorns?! That must be the stupidest thing I have ever heard."
"I know but hey, better than fluffy bunnys, am I right?"
Soon we both started laughing.... That was the first time I laughed ever since my brother died. Usually if my parents laughed at something "really funny" then I would just smirk. But the kid. Phil. Made me happy.
"So how long have you been going to ELHS? I know everybody there and I haven't seen you around..."
"Oh I just transferred from south England. I start tomorrow..."
"Well you know what, come sit with me tomorrow at lunch, I'll introduce you to everybody."
"Um ok."
It's hard to believe that just ten minutes ago I was about to kill myself... About to end everything once and for all.
But then I ran into an amazing human being. And I felt more positive. Think about this almost made me cry. Not because of sadness. Not because of my mom. Not even my brother.
They were tears of joy. Tears that made my life so much better. The happiness.
And that is where it all began. When I started to be happy. When I was saved. When I met Phil.
