And Few years later, and i'm here on this bridge ready to jump in the water and let myself drown.
I was done with my life,I just felt like dying.I took a deep breath and jumped from the bridge down into the cold water.
You are such a disappointment
Why aren't you more like your brothers!
What are we going to do with you!
We give up! do what you want to do!
I Closed my eyes and heard all the horrible things my parents have ever told me, I didn't even try to swim back up I just let myself sink deep down into the water and eventually started to choke on water over and over again. And dark greeted me.
I felt a pair of strong arms pull me out of the cold water and lay me down on some grass.
"hey wake up!" a deep voice shouted.
Am I in heaven cause all I see is black.Well I'm kind of disappointed, I thought it will be all white and goldish, where is the yellow light--
"Wake up!" the deep voice shouted again but this time slightly shaking me.
I Then felt like someone was banging on my chest over and over again.
"Come on.. fight it! wake up!" the deep voice shouted again.
Eventually I spat some water out of my mouth slowly opening my eyes.
"Thank goodness you woke up!" the voice said again and sighed.
"wait? am I alive?" I asked weakly and looked at the boy with dirty blonde hair and green eyes.
"yes, you are." he replied running one hand into his wet hair.
I groaned and sat myself up. Fucking great.
"Why did you jump if you couldn't swim?" he asked as his fingers ran through his hair.
"I do know how to swim." was all that I said.
he was processing what I just said and suddenly shouted "wait! That means that.." he gasped standing up looking at me with wide eyes.
It was pretty silent and he eventually calmed down and sighed "Come on" he said extending his hand, I took it and stood up.
"Where to exactly?" I asked looking down at my soaked clothes.
"My place, I can't let you walk around with soaked clothes like that you'll catch cold." Was all he said before walking.
"Why should I trust you?" I crossed my arms as he turned around slowly.
"I just saved your pretty arse from drowning!"
"I didn't ask to be saved you..you.. You dimwit!"
He stared at me with amusement "dimwit? Are we giving each other cute nicknames now?" He kept on walking and yelled " So are you coming or not!".I looked at him walking away and realised that he wasnt looking back to see if i was coming or not, huffing I ran up yelling for him to slow down.
We walked quiet a lot till we stood front of this white looking house he opened the door and stepped inside, Looking back at me he opened the door wider and I entered, warm immediately hit my skin.
The living room seemed cozy I thought to myself walking around before realizing that I was leaving a trail of water behind me. "Yikes!" I whispered.
"Don't worry about it" He said chuckling slightly before turning around and headed upstairs. Leaving me to stand in my own puddle of water. Great now what?.
I awkwardly stood in the living room for a good minute before he came jogging back down with a pile of clothes in his hands.
"here" he said.
"These are my sisters,she's in university for the moment so I don't think she'll mind. The bathroom Is upstairs" he said and disappeared into the cute looking kitchen.
I slowly walked upstairs and turned the knob of the bathroom door.
I quickly changed into the dry clothes this boy gave me before heading back down with my wet clothes in my hand.
"Um do you have a plastic bag where I can put these wet clothes in.." I said awkwardly and he nodded opening a cupboard and took a black plastic bag out of it before handing it to me.
"thanks" I whispered and he nodded again.
"here" He said handing me a cup of coffee. For someone who doesn't know me he is kinda nice.
"Thanks." I said and followed him to the living room before plopping down on the sofa.
"I'm Aaron by the way" he said sipping a bit of his coffee.
"I'm Elise." I smiled weakly and he smiled back.
"I don't mean to be nosey or anything but why the hell would you do that?" He said referring to me trying to drown myself earlier.
I sighed "well..my parents are a main reason of this whole thing.." I sighed again. Why am I even telling this stranger my life right now.
"It's okay you don't have to tell me now" He said and I smiled at him.
"Thanks" I said.
"For?" he asked placing his mug on the coffee table.
"I think you know what for."
"Yes I do." he nodded looking at me, almost as if he wad studying my face, heat crept up my neck slightly making me blush. I turned my head the other way so he wouldn't notice it.
"I-- um, better go back home." I said standing up and placing my mug on the the coffee table.
"Oh?,okay..yeah." He got up and opened the door for me.
"See you soon." He said making me smile.
With that I went home.

"Where were you!?" My mother yelled at me. Come on woman, I haven't even set foot into the bloody house.
"Out." I replied heading upstairs.
"Come back down Elise!" my dad yelled and I turned around staring at them, Waiting for them to yell at me but instead I received a slap from my mother making me stare at her before few tears rolled down my cheeks.
"You irresponsible child! Do you know how worried we were!" She yelled.
"You have a funny way of showing it." I said touching my left cheek.
"Elise.." My mom said instantly regretting what she did.
I shook my head and ran upstairs.
"El?" I heard Jack's little voice calling me.
I wiped my eyes and smiled at him.
"Hey buddy." I whispered as he sat next to me on my bed giving me a side hug.
"I don't like seeing you cry El.." He said wiping a tear that rolled down my cheeks.
I smiled at him and wiped away my tears and hugged him. What would I do without this little boy.
