Purpose

Nine

Arms wrap around me quickly drag if me off the ledge.

"Ya! What the fuck do you think you a real doing?!" I scream as I try to free myself from the is persons grip. Throwing my body around. To only fall in the ground. My hair falling onto my face.

"What the hell? What were you doing in that ledge? You should be thanking me not yelling at me. You are just lucky I'm in this roof too." He huffs. His face, it looks all too familiar. But it's bruised.

"What are you looking at?" He asks.

"Nothing..... Now get lost. You saw nothing! You don't know what you at doing! I was meant to die in the ledge!" I stand. "I hate you!" I hit his chest.

He grabs my wrist and hold them close to his chest. Letting me try to hit him. "You are not the only one who hates me." He lets go of me.

"Ugh!" I stomp back over the ledge. "Your choice to watch." I sigh.

"Why are you doing it anyway,huh? Did Something happen?"

"I..... I want to die. So let me."

"No."

"Why do you care anyway?"

"Last night, I saw you at the convenience store. Buying beer for you father, right? D-did he do this to you?"

"This? Ha. He has done much worse."I sigh.

"Please don't jump. Think about all the people that care about you."

"If only there was more than one. Why are you still here anyway? Want to see a girl jump off a school building up close?" I turn around, tripping......

"No, to save a girl who is trying to jump off." He hold me in his arms as he once again drags me off the ledge. "I'm not going to let of you till I know you won't try to jump." He holds onto me tighter.

I can feel his heartbeat against mine. His warmth. His hope hidden under the pain."Why?" I cry falling into the ground bringing him down with me.

"It's going to be okay. I understand. Just please stop crying. Please." He wipes away my tears with his thumb.

"Stop it. Stop being so nice to me. You shouldn't care for a girl like me. You should let her jump you shouldn't save her. I'm not worth saving." I hit his chest. He grabs my hand and I can feel the grip on it get tighter.

"I won't let you." He whispers as he lets go.

I stand walking back over the ledge.

"Aye, JuMin, just think how much you could mean to someone. Think about what you could do with the pain you have now. You can always turn it to happiness."

"What do you know?" I hiss turning back around, I can feel my face heating up the more I notice the sorry look in his eyes.

"Just don't." He looks down, his eyes now avoiding mine.

Taking a deep breath before taking a step forward. Is my life worth living? Can I go on like this? Taking another step and my leg gives out causing me to hit the hard cement.
