〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Every day. Every day she would put up with it. Every day she would wake up feeling the same, feeling sad, careless, reckless. She never knew how to interpret these obnoxious feelings into something good. Nothing ever worked. She tried and tried and tried, but nothing ever worked. Tyler would go to school almost every day hoping that something will be different, hoping that everybody would leave her alone. Did her hopes go through? No. They never did. None of her three friends knew of these feelings. She always hid her weaknesses so well. She always knew how to hide her sadness with a smile so bright. A smile that Dick Grayson had fallen in love with. Did she believe anyone when they told her this? Never. She always thought little of herself. How could someone like him fall in love with a girl who cries all the time and who gets baggy clothing because of her body? How could she even see the light through her own life? She couldn't.

Maybe she should end everything. Tyler stood at the top of Wayne manor, staring down at the flawless green grass. If she jumped, would everything stop? Would everything in her head just stop? She would finally be free. Between her parents wanting her dead and the people at University, she couldn't handle it anymore. She would always sit in her room alone, crying and thinking about her own death, wondering what would happen if she were to die. Wally, Roy and Dick.... She always tried to think of them, her family, her crush. It never worked. What if she were to hold on a little bit longer? Nobody would miss her, right? She is just another girl who lives in a world full of chaos.

Tyler leaned forward across the ledge. Everything in the world seemed to stop and center on her.

"Where's Tyler?" Dick asked Wally and Roy. Dick was on a search for her, for is lover, for his lifeline.

"Maybe the roof, she said she needed some air," Wally responded. Dick felt something in him snap. He ran. He ran faster than he had ever ran. He reached the roof as Tyler stared down, her toes hanging off the ledge. Tears falling down her face. Dick tried to calm himself. Nothing could calm him as he looked at Tyler leaning over the ledge.

"Tyler..." his voice was barely a whisper. He could barely make out any words. He just stared. "No...." Tyler heard him. She slowly turned her head to face him. Her face had tear stains along her cheeks as her sleeves were bloodied on her wrists. The sight made him break. Made his heart shatter. He just broke, nothing could help this. Tyler looked at him with an unreadable feeling filling her green orbs. "Don't...."

"Why not?" Her voice was raspy as she spoke. Her eyes had bags under them as if she hadn't eaten or slept in days.

"Please...Tyler. Pleas just stay there, don't move...." Dick had talked many other people out of suicide on his job, but he would've never thought it would be his own friend, crush.

"But if I do, and I jump, will I even make a difference?" Tyler spoke as if nothing really mattered. As if she didn't matter. Dick broke even more inside. Tyler stood there, looking down and back to Dick repeatedly. She wasn't reconsidering her plan, no. She was thinking why Dick would try to save her, why he would go through the trouble for her.

"Tyler, you don't deserve to do this!" Dick shouted. Tyler shook her head and leaned a little more towards the edge.

"What do you know?! I've been treated like shit my entire time at University! You don't know what it's like! It's horrible, nothing can fix it!" Dick began to cry. He felt hot tears roll down his cheeks as he listened to her.

"I know that whoever has made you feel this way deserves to die! Tyler, you can't do this!" Dick yelled to her. He shouted and pleaded with her. Did Tyler try to reason with him? No. She simply stared down once again.

"Why can't I do this?! Why can't I do the one thing that might help me?!" Tyler yelled back. She screamed as if she was a banshee.

"Because I love you! I'm not going to let the one I love kill herself! I need you and you need me!" Tyler's expression had softened when Dick announced his feelings to her. "Hold on just a little longer...please?"

Tyler eased back a little bit so that her toes were on the ledge. "Why? I'm not okay. Every time someone asks me, you ask me, it's so hard to tell you that I'm fine! I can't deal with this! Every morning I wake up hoping everybody will ignore me and leave me alone, I hope that I can actually be okay for once."

"I know. I'm here to help so please...just let me help you....please?" Dick pleaded with her. Tyler shed tears even more. Dick held out his hand as he went closer to her. She stood there, unmoving and silent. Dick moved closer. He tightly embraced her figure as he sunk down and sat with her on his lap and in his arms. They cried together. "Why?"

"I don't know... I just want to escape and be free," she answered, her voice quiet and raspy from sobbing. Dick pushed his head into her multi-colored hair and closed his eyes.

"I don't know what I would've done if I was too late. Tyler, promise me yo won't ever do that again?" Dick begged. Tyler sat still. He used his thumb and pointer finger to raise her head. "Promise?"

"I don't know..." Tyler wanted to promise him, she really did, but she couldn't. She didn't know what was to happen in the future. What if something similar happened again and she didn't have Dick? "Dick, I don't know what I feel sometimes. I just want to hurt myself so that I can feel physical pain rather than emotional and I just don't know what...to...do..." her voice got quieter as she spoke. She was slowly losing consciousness. Dick looked at her and panicked.

"No. No, no, no, no, no. Tyler? Tyler! Stay with me!" Dick stood and carried her to the garage downstairs. He met Roy and Wally on the way. Both of them had choked on air once they saw the girl that they called sister dangling limply in their best friend's arms. Roy almost instantly cried and Wally stood frozen. Dick rushed to put her into a car. He had to get the hospital. He had to make sure that she was gonna be okay. He needed her. He wanted her to live. If she were to die, Dick would lose his will to go on.

"Dude, what happened?!" Wally was panicking. She was his best friend. Why would she do this?

"We need to get her to a hospital!" Roy shouted.

Dick placed her gently on a gurney as the doctors rushed to her side to help. He last saw her when they were taking her to an emergency room.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

"Dick?" Dick lifted his third head to see Tyler. He smiled brightly and cried tears of joy.

"Tyler!" He breathed out. "Oh my god, I thought I lost you..." he cried into her shoulder as she held him. Roy and Wally walked into the waiting room to see the two lovers crying and embracing each other. Wally dropped his food and ran to them. He embraced the two while Roy stood there and watched as his best friends were reuniting.

"Roy..." Tyler said silently. "Come here." Roy obliged and tightly hugged her. He let out his tears and hugged her, his first best friend. Dick and Wally soon joined in.

"I love you guys. I love you too, Dick."

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

Okay guys. No joke, I actually cried while I wrote this and please if any of yo are experiencing something like this, talk to someone. I know it's hard because I've been through stuff like this before and it's hard to talk, but please, don't do anything that can hurt you.
