"IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!"

-PrettyinPunkClifford probably while she's reading this.

HERE'S ANOTHER TRIGGER WARNING.

HERE'S A SECOND WARNING - POV CHANGES GALORE.

----------

This was it, this was the night. The incident with Hank sold it for me.
I tightened my hands on the wheel of my car, driving down the street to the place that I swore I'd go to when I made up my mind.
Once I parked my car across the street, I made my way through the pouring down rain to the top of the building. I had texted my goodbyes on the way up.
Walking slowly to the edge, I thought. I thought about everything. My family, my friends, Bobby. I thought about how some were good to me, but most were awful. 'What's the sense in this?' I had asked myself, 'What do you hope to gain?' I only hoped to make everyone else happy.
Once again I thought about everything, everyone. My thoughts came to one person in particular...
"ADALINE!"
...Jack.
"Adaline," Jack yelled, "Please don't, w-we can get through this, we can talk about it. We can do this, together."

*Jack's POV*

"I can't." she yelled at me through the loud rain hitting the cement roof, taking a deep breath, trying to prevent the tears even though they were already falling down her porcelain skin, "I can't do this anymore."
"Adaline-" I moved closer to her.
"Jack don't," She said, inching closer to the edge, "I'll do it I swear."
"Adaline listen to me-"
"No! Jack you listen to me!" She yelled, "After everything, all the abuse, nobody listening to me, nothing is okay anymore, I don't want to do this - I can't do this."
"Yes you can Addie, we can talk about it," I said loud enough for her to hear me through the rain, tears now starting to fall down my face.
"We can't do anything Jack. We won't be able to," She said, looking over her shoulder, "You can't fix me. I'm already broken."

*Addie's POV*
He looked as though he was about to collapse; his knees were weak, his breathing looked unsteady, and his overall posture looked weak.
I slowly turned to Jack, my full body facing him. I looked at him, weak.
Weak, that's what I am, isn't it, weak... weak.
"Adaline, please," He begged, his voice brittle. He was falling apart, and so was I.

*3rd Person (No One's POV)*
The pain, the loneliness, the deceit, the crying. She wants to make everyone happy, and what better way to make them happy than to rid them of herself. She isolated herself, thinking everyone is against her, that they hate her, and that she's just a pain in their side.
But she's just a person... or... a monster. That's what she is, isn't she? A monster. That's why they hate her, that's why they'll always hate her... because she's her... and not... them.
She's always kind, she tried to be. She never hurt anyone else. They hurt her though. Called her names, beat her up... and what did everyone else do? She never saw them do anything... she was alone, alone like she is now. Is that a bad thing? To be alone, if she's alone there's no one to stare at her, if she's alone there's no one to insult her, she's not screamed at, she's not hurt, if she's alone, she's okay. But she doesn't want to be alone.
"Adaline," she looked over, realizing Jack was still there, tears and rain streaming down his face, "Please don't."
Jack looked feeble, afraid to make the smallest movement that would cause her to jump.
She's not alone.

*Adaline's POV*

I fell to my knees, burying my face in my hands. This is when Jack finally ran over, kneeling next to me, embracing me like he'd never done before."I'm so sorry, Jack." I sobbed. 

"No, no, no, don't be sorry. I love you so much," He cried along with me, his tears falling into my already damp hair.

"I love you too."

#WhoopsAgain.

It almost happened again.

But it didn't.

I'll try and stay more on track with my schedule.

By the way, this part and the last one were both written a long time ago and have been in my drafts... Same with the next few parts.

See you when I see you.
