He's In Love With Her

Chapter One

Everyone dies but knowing that it doesn't, make somebody's death any less painful. When I picked up that phone and received the news that my brother Andrew died in a horrible accident, my whole world came crashing down. I fell to my knees and cried out in pain as my mother ran in from the kitchen and fell to hug me.

"Andrew," I said weakly. It's like my mother read my mind because she started crying too. We cried for hours, the sky went from a beautiful blue to a black empty void. After it was physically impossible for me to cry anymore I got in my car and drove for miles and miles.

I quickly parked my car at the top of the hill and I ran out to the edge. "Why him!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Why did you have to take my brother!" I screamed, my voice sounding horribly hoarse. I pulled my hair and screamed. I screamed louder than I ever have.

"I can't do this," I whispered as I lowered my head. I got closer and closer but then I heard crunching leaves behind me. "Please don't jump," A calming voice told me. "Can I come closer?" The boy asked.

"Please don't," I told him.

"I'm not going to do anything bad, I'm just going make sure you don't hurt yourself," He replied. "So can I come closer?" He asked once again. I nodded slowly and felt his arms wrap around my waist and pull me away from the edge.

He hugged me tighter so I wrapped my arms around his neck. "It's going to be okay," He whispered in my ear. "Don't be an asshole, you don't know that it's going to be okay and it's rude to give people false hope," I replied.

"I guess, do you want to talk about it, I may not give the best advice but I'll listen," So with that advantage I told him everything in my life from start to finish.

Why did I trust this stranger? I don't know, maybe because I will probably never see him again or because for some reason I feel loved. Maybe even just because he's willing to listen and that's all I want.
