( is IS thy first one shot! @PartBoy_PureQueer has suggested a Juni X Peggy X Theo!!! Without further a do, let's go!)
Juniper's POV----------------------------------
A person commits suicide every four seconds.
I'd just be another number.
My hair was pulled up into a tight bun as I overlooked the side of the bridge. The night sky was as dark as black ink, and a light breeze rustled through the trees.
Life hurts, but death doesn't discriminate.
I take a deep breath, realizing that unavoidable tears are starting to roll down my cheeks. I shakily swing one foot over the side of the short railing. But then a thought comes to me.
Love doesn't discriminate, either.
Theo's warm smile, the way her nose scrunched up when she laughs, how she always knew what to say to make you feel special, and how she would rest her head on my shoulder.Theo.
Peggy's bouncy skips as she walked, the way she would reach out for my hand, and could always light up a room even if you felt so dark and lonely on the inside. Peggy.
I wipe my tears, and swing my leg back over the railing, so that both feet are firmly planted back on the ground. Mom and Dad didn't mean to leave me. I knew the way their loss weighed on me, consumed every waking minute. I could never die knowing I left people I loved behind to grieve, not if I had a choice, anyway.
And I did have a choice.
I choose them.
Peggy's POV-----------------------------------
Juniper had been missing for four hours. I grasped Theo's hand as we ran around the campus screaming her name until our throats were raw. I sank down on the grass in the pavilion, sobbing, Theo stroking my hair while she silently cried.
"Y-you don't t-t-think S-she..." I can't finish my sentence before I begin to cry uncontrollably.
"No. No. She wouldn't do that."
I felt responsible for what was going on. I should've realized. I should have seen that every "In fine" was a lie. I should've seen that despite looking whole on the outside, inside she was lost.
She was lost and screaming, begging for help.
And I didn't notice.
Theo's POV--------------------------------------
Dark storm clouds rolled across the sky as I cradled Peggy in the grass, holding her tight as she cried into my chest.
The rain started slow at first, but slowly picked up in severity. When I was confident the rain could block out any noise, I cried.
I cried because we couldn't find Juniper.
I cried because for all we know she could be at the bottom of the lake right now.
I cried because I should've noticed all the signs.
I cried because I just wanted her back.
Juniper's POV-----------------------------------
It took me thirty minutes to find Peggy and Theo, huddled in the grass patch on the pavilion, the rain pouring down on me. I pulled out the umbrella I had grabbed from the dormitory before searching for them.
I ran over and wrapped my arms around them, smiling while simultaneously silently crying. They both looked at me with shock before returns the hug, so that we were just one big bundle lying on the wet grass.
"I was so worried!" Peggy exclaimed while holding my hand tight.
"We spent hours looking for you!" Theo explained while grasping my shoulder.
"Juni, please tell me what's going on." Peggy pleaded while holding my hand. I shake my head. Too soon. Too soon. Right now I just wanted to be with them.
I popped open the umbrella and we all huddled underneath, standing so close I could feel the others heartbeats. I wanted to be with them.
We jumped in puddles on out way back to the dorm, laughing and giggling like nothing ever happened. We walked through the dorms, up to the seventh floor, leaving a trail of water from our shoes wherever we went.
These were the girls that saved me.
These were my loves, my beauties, the ones who showed me life was worth living.
Peggy's POV--------------------------------------
Back at the dorm we all cuddled underneath a blanket, sipping hot cocoa. Theo drifted off to sleep, her wet hair sticking to her forehead. I looked up at Juniper, into her warm eyes that seemed so far away.
I stared into her eyes, because I believe they are a window into the soul. I wanted to see her soul right now. I wanted to see it and tell it not to worry. Not to be afraid.
Me and Theo were here.
And I guarantee you will be found.
And I will help.
(A/n: that was a lot more depressing that I planned but I think it turned out good, except now I'm crying. I'm open for one shot suggestions, so ask awayyyyyyy!)
