James stands there looking down the one hundred foot drop below him.
"Now I can't hurt you. Now I can't hurt anyone. My purpose never existed. So I shouldn't either." Said James as he closed his eyes.
"I am so sorry." He said as he allowed himself to plummet down.
As he was falling, he saw Ashley. The reason he was killing himself. At that moment, his life flashed before his eyes.
It went back to when he was in the hospital where he saw both of his parents die after a car accident.
Next it flashed to the first day at his new school in a new city, with his new parents that always abused him for simple things.
He walked into his class where he was always treated different. Always felt different. After a few months of abandonment a girl walked up to him, her name was Ashley.
James sat there and said "sorry, am I in your way?"
Ashley simply responded with a giggle and she sat down next to him. They didn't speak for the rest of fifth grade.
His mind than went to all the times he saw her in the deli at Walmart. He would always say hi and she would say hi with a smile.
His mind than went to sixth grade where he had eight classes. They were all spaced out and James got lost on the way to fifth. As he walked the hall, he crashed into a girl.
Once again, it was Ashley.
"I'm so sorry about that." I said.
"Yeah. No worry's. Where are you headed?" She asked.
"Reading." I responded.
"Looks like we are going to the same class." Said Ashley.
James fall felt like it was in slow motion. He regretted his action prior to this. He accept his fate.
His mind resumed to his short life's experiences. His mind flew across to when he was at p.e. waiting for his daily hug from Ashley.
In seventh grade it progressed even more. They were a family and they recognized that. They both had each others back until.. The didn't.
Ashley began departing from James. Every day, more and more. Farther and farther. To the point they didn't always speak.
Where all they did was either argue or say "hi"
Than one day on the way out from chorus James put a note in Ashley's pocket without her noticing. He than walked up to her and said "bye."
Than his mind flashed to him writing his note. "To the one person I loved, the person I cared for. The person I called family. I am sorry for waisting your time and I am sorry for all the problems I have caused. I will leave you forever on the top of muerte peak. It will be at seven in the morning. Thank you for your patience and love. Not romantically but as family. Goodbye."
Than his mind went back to his body falling fast, falling hard.
"No, why?!" Yelled out Ashley.
"Wait! Stay back." Said James.
Ashley ran right to where he landed. His head hit hers and he died on impact. The impact also killed Ashley.
