IMPRORTANT NOTICE (UPDATED 2015)! I am a fifteen year old girl (now sixteen) and don't really know much about the real work life and stuff yet (but I now have a part time job...), so basically half the shit related to work in here is made up! (That parts still true...) So if you have anything against that, please don't complain! I did do research but it wasn't much to go on.

Oh and there's loads of swearing in this book :) So yeah have a good day dudes :) Love youuuuuuuu ;)

Prologue:

"What the fuck are you actually doing dude?!" I screeched whilst getting out of my car, the cold instantly nipped at my skin. This guy was just standing on the other side of the bridge as if he was going to jump off! Who does that? Well I guess... suicidal people and maybe mentally instable people, but who does that?!

"Go away!" he shouted back. What is he drunk? Drunk and suicidal! This is not going to go well...

"Do you want to die or something!?" Well duh... "Come on get your ass on this side of the bridge! Do you even know how dangerous that is!?" I slowly edged towards the guy but he still had his back to me.

He gruffly glanced backwards and mumbled, "I said go away."

"Not until you come over," I'm seriously not going to leave some drunken guy alone on a bridge.

"Well fine you can witness my death," he muttered. No wait what?! He can't, no please. Oh God please help me!

I looked at him trying to sum him up, he looked like those type of guys you just wanted to steer clear off because they were rich and jerky, and then he also had that professional and scary look. But he looked sad, broken and vunerable. Okay person analysed. What now? On impulse I started to clamber over the bridge to. Okay not a good idea, scared of heights, remember idiot? Come on, I think it's finally time to face my fear. Oh yay. "Okay, uhm sir? Look, if you jump, I'll jump; because I'm positive my life is almost as bad as yours..." And I wasn't even joking when I said that. I would definitely jump, but my gut was telling me he wouldn't want some random crazy chick to die too, right?

"You know nothing about my life,"

"Well, so far I definitely know something really bad just happened in your life but then bad stuffs been happening from day one for you, right? Which is why you're here, you think that jumping off is the easiest thing, but just imagine how painful it's going to be if you don't fucking die, like how many bones can you break?!" I paused, realising what panicked nonsense just came out of my mouth, "Okay, wait not helping... I mean imagine how much pain you're going to put other's through, even though you might think you have no one, there's always someone out there that cares. Plus imagine the one person you have ever cared about was going to do what you're doing right now, how would you feel when you find out their dead? Like, I love chocolate and if chocolate became extinct I would bawl my eyes out!" What? Don't judge, it's my guilty pleasure, and I tend to talk bull when I panic, "Uhm, also not helping.... Please don't do it... There's always, always light at the end of the tunnel, even if you've had to make the light yourself." I pleaded, using clichéd quotes and making half of them up. Yeah I may not be the best at this.

The man looked at me; his eyes were so full of pain that I could almost feel it, "What if there isn't? What if I can't?"

"There is, trust me, plus it's the darkness you want to get rid of right? Then just whip out your phone and use the torchlight on that, done problem solved. Or just use some rocks to make a fire. And when you've got that light use it to lead you to the end of the tunnel. Don't let that light go, ever. I'm sorry I'm really bad with analogies, but please don't do it. It's not going to last, I promise you."

He looks so vulnerable, it was heart breaking, "What if it does?"

"What if it doesn't? You'll never know if you jump tonight." I counter. After what felt like years of silence, the man clambered back to the other side and I let out a breath of relief but stupidly glanced down, my heart instantly started beating faster from fear then it had been already. Oh shit. I squeezed my eyes shut.

Okay come on Charlie you can do this! You just have to safely get back on the other side.... Easy peasy lemon squeezy... right? Or maybe not. Holding onto the bar extremely tightly I carefully turned around. This isn't going to work.

Before any other frightening thoughts could enter my head a hand appeared right in front of me almost making me jump. Man is this guy scary. Gratefully taking his hand, I managed to make it to the other side.

"Than-" but as I looked up after dusting myself off the man was already walking away from me into the dark night.
