*Flash Back*
"I'm talking to myself, oh god I really am crazy now aren't I?- Of course I am, I'm talking to myself what sane person would?" Okay so I'm sitting on a rock talking to myself in the woods on a cliff. This is completely normal.. "Rosa pull yourself together and think of whats at stake if I jump." I stand here for a while trying to think of people or things that would be sad if I'm missing... "My mom. My dad?" No he's in prison he wouldn't care... "Uhm, My grandparents are dead so out of the question. I have no friends so I can't name them.. " Of fucking course there would only be my immediate family, I'm so disappointed I yell out in frustration.
Chloe's POV.
I'm really glad I'm hiking today, I really needed the peace and quiet, I'm about half way up the mountain and suddenly I hear talking. I hate other people who hike! They're very rude to me like they act like I'm 5 and lost! As I stop to listen I can only hear a muffled voice just grunting to themselves, I only take two more steps before I hear a very loud yell, Its not like a sad one or a scared one... Its more like an angry one, then I listen a bit more closely and they start talking again.
"I have no one, I might as well just do it already!" I hear running then it coming to an abrupt stop, I start running towards it but then as I reach the spot I stop. There's a girl standing right at the very edge staring down towards the ground. "I'm such a fucking wimp I can't even get enough nerve to do it!" What the hell?
Rosalyn's POV.
I turn around staring at the ground just walking back over to the rock when I look up and see a girl standing there confusion marked on her features. "Can I help you?" She must've not expected me to talk because she hesitated before answering.
"Why, yes you can. You can help me by telling me what the hell are you doing on the edge of a cliff."
"That's none of your business!" I swear she's going to make me lose my temper and the last human who did that..Well lest just say he never saw it coming.
"Okay, I'm sorry that was rude, I was just concerned since it looked like you were about to jump off.."
Wait.. She's apologizing? Its a real apology, I practically taste remorse. I've never had a genuine apology before. Then human starts babbling, and it's honestly quite annoying.
"Omg! No way! You were gonna jump!? That's totes crazy! Why would you want to? I mean sure you've got like a temper but you're like super pretty and kinda nice!" I think my jaw dropped because I can taste here scent from here.. Its kind of like strawberries.
"Maybe I was and maybe I'm still going to! Its none of your business, nobody cares so I might as well." She just stares at me like I'm crazy.
"What about your family and friends?" She looks intrigued now, well might as well tell her the truth. I'm just gonna jump any way.
"Only my mom would care, I have no friends.." I can feel myself start to tear because I've never had to admit that to anyone and now after hearing it out loud I sound so alone.
"Well what about you're siblings or dad? Omg I'm supes sorry if I hit a nerve with the dad thing" I feel my face changed as she says 'dad' and she smells of guilt. "Don't worry about it my dad is in prison, he doesn't care about me if he did he wouldn't have killed all those people!"
Her face turns to horror but despite it she begins speaking again. "I'm so sorry about your dad" she pauses to contemplate her next sentence "What about me? Am I your friend yet or no?" I almost faint she doesn't even know my name or I hers!"You want to know if were friends? Seriously? I don't even know who the hell you are and you don't want to know who I am." If she did find out who I am she'd be risking her life in two ways, 1 way is social life, if she is friends with anyone who knows me then she'd be kicked out of that group immediately and 2 is her living, beating heart, breathing life, I'm a fucking hybrid! There's no telling what would happen if she befriends a Mermaid/Vampire hybrid!
"Oh, I guess I just figured" she looks down at the ground and plays with the bottom of her shirt. "Uhm... Never mind I guess.. My name is Chloe by the way I just moved here from Michigan.. I just thought, well maybe since I cared you wanted me to be your friend...I guess not." well I'm a douche.. "Fine, well I'm Rosalyn I guess for the next few minutes I'm alive you can call me Rosa. Why do you care? Oh and you don't want to be friends with me, look for some popular people they're more your style.."
"Please don't kill yourself, you're my first friend here. I love your hair and your name, they're both beautiful.. Wait my style? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY STYLE!? You don't know maybe I'm goth or a nerd! Maybe I'm not popular and never have been!" Oh shit I stuck a nerve, I smirk in response. "Well you look like a pop. so yeah, and thanks. This is my real hair color, my moms is red and my dads is green"
"That's so wicked! I wish I was like that! Do you wear contacts? You're eyes are like sapphires."
"Nope, well sometimes but this is my real eye color." I'm trying to sound less interested."Wow that's so amazing, why would you want to die!? Guys must be all over you, what about your boyfriend? Wouldn't he be sad?" Back to the 'million questions'
"You have those amazing green eyes and auburn hair, Mines abnormal. Boyfriend..? Hahaha you must be joking, the last boyfriend I had was in elementary." She so shocked right now its not even funny, okay a little funny. I just want to jump, but now I kind of don't. She's holding me back some how, I mean yeah she's a annoying human but there's kind of connection now."You're very pessimistic aren't you? You like being difficult..." I just shrug in response. "Well, do you still want to jump or do you want to come to my place?"
"I do but I don't I guess I'll come with you and if you're not who I think you are then I'll come back and jump.." She looks completely shocked now.
"OMG! This is going to be totes funtastic!!"

I look up again and see Riley throwing his apple core in the trash and exiting"I'll be in the library, Okay...?." I whisper it very quietly and start packing up at a fast pace. I don't care for her answer because I know she doesn't care as long as I'm safe.
