Hello
Sorry I woke you up.
It's alright. I wasn't really asleep.
Don't lie. I can hear your deep sleep through the phone.
*yawn* So what's up? Why are you up so late?
Couldn't sleep.
Are you outside? It sounds like you are at a windy place.
Yea. Just at the terrace though.
What's wrong A? You sound down.
I want to tell you something but you have to promise on your life that you will not tell anyone. Deal?
Okay. Deal!
P, I am going to kill myself. I am thinking of jumping off the building.
Don't be crazy, A. Look, i know that things aren't great back at your home and you are going through a lot of shit but don't do this.
P, I am not asking you, I am telling you. I am doing it. I just can't take it anymore.
This time you have really made up your mind, haven't you?
Yes.
Hmm. Can you wait for some time?
Why? You promised you will not tell anyone. I swear to God P if you do anything like that, I will never talk to you again.
Oh for God's sake will you shut up? I am coming over. Let's do this together.
What? Don't joke around.
I am not. I have my problems too. I know you have seen the cut marks on my wrists just I have seen the cut marks on yours. We both aren't strangers to suicide attempts, A. Maybe we can be strength for each other and just be over with it once and for all this time. Okay?
P, I don't know. I don't feel right about this.
Just wait there and don't do anything. I will be there as soon as I can.
You are weird.
So are you. That's why we are friends remember? See you soon A.
-beep- -beep- -beep-
He disconnected the call. I can't believe he is coming over. Not to try and talk me out of committing suicide but doing the same with me. Something is wrong. Should I go back to my room? That way I can just simply deny that I was ever planning on jumping from the terrace or should I wait for P just like he had asked me to?
Oh God! What have I gotten myself into?!
