He stares into the night sky. The stars are the only ones who can see him cry. He laid  beside a silver object hidden under his hoodie, he held his hand out to an invisible being, hoping that if there is some kind of God, that that God will send him some type of angel to keep him from doing this.

He slipped his hand under his hoodie reaching for the thing that he thought would help him the most... He held the object close to his head, his eyes were calmly shut as his face relaxed. His finger squeezed the trigger a loud click rang through the thick night air. The young teen felt a soft touch on his shoulder, he turned to see who was with him. He was met with a pair of large round blue eyes, and a warm smile on pink plump lips. Her brown hair seemed to have a golden halo around the top. His smile was broken as he cried "You came here to watch me, huh?" Her eyes were sad as she spoke " no, I came here to stop you."

Yea, this girl was his friend who had died in her bathroom. She had committed suicide, just like he was about to do, but why was she trying to stop him?

The girl before him frowned when a click sounded from beside his skull, tears flowed soundlessly from his eyes. "why try to stop me? its not like stopping me would ever  stop THEM..." She touched his shoulder and he hesitantly leaned into her touch. It was so calming, so warm... He missed this type of warmth. He missed her. "why did you have to go?" he asked as his hand began to shake and the gun yet again clicked. her eyes moved from his down to his hand on his lap, she touched it softly, "because I was weak..."her voice was barely above a whisper. "but I want you to be stronger." She looked at him in the eyes " I want you to be stronger for me." her eyes traveled from his to the gun shaking in his hand. he was, yet again, about to pull the trigger. "you need to be stronger for me, I want you to be stronger for me and, for your little sister." Fresh tears poured from his face as he dropped the gun, his body was racked with his sobs as he was pulled into his late friend's chest. She forced him to look at her. "I love you, please remember that, your the only thing that has ever mattered to me"

She leaned forward placing a soft almost bitter sweet kiss on his lips. his eyes widened, when he had shut his eye and opened them again. he was met with the thick night air and a cold breeze. He glanced over at the silver of the gun. He picked it up and he threw it an into an unknown area. he didn't want to look at it... NEVER Again he thought as he made his way down stairs to his little sister. The young girl smiled a large smile seeing her older brother come from down stairs, she ran and hugged him tight. He smiled finally content with him self.
