Minicat - What Do I say?

Craig sat his phone on the counter, screen down. He sighed heavily, thinking over the messages that have been sent and recieved over the past hour. He was texting a close friend of his, who he considered as a younger sister. Her name's Amanda. It was a normal conversation for a while, until it took a turn.
"I don't want to be here anymore tbh. Being alive hurts to much..."
That was what made Craig worried. But it only got worse.
"Tbh, I want to die... Like, everyday. I feel like I won't be able to hold on anymore... It hurts to much to try..."
Craig was nearly in tears as he thought about losing her. He leaned his head down on the counter, trying to collect his thoughts. He sighed heavily. "What do I say?!" He thought to himself. He looked at his phone quickly after hearing it vibrate. He checked the notification. It was from Amanda.
"I'm sorry I bothered you with this. I'll leave you alone now."
Criag was quick to reply, not wanting to drop the conversation in fear of the consequences of leaving her alone.
"No, it's okay. You aren't bothering me. I want to able to try and help."
Craig stared at the screen, ignoring anything around him. And that included the person who joined him in the kitchen. "Mini, what're you doing?" Tyler asked as he walked next to the shorter male. Craig jumped a bit, completely forgetting that Tyler was at his house. He turned to Tyler and smiled awkwardly. "Umm, I'm texting a friend." Tyler gave Craig a skeptical look. "Why are you out here though?" Craig sighed. "Something was wrong and I was getting upset so I came out here hoping my head would clear up and I can think correctly." "Well, what happened?" Tyler asked as he leaned back on the counter. "What's with all the questions?" Criag asked. Tyler just smiled slightly. "I'm just seeing if you are alright. You look emotionally drained." Craig was surprised by the sudden care in Tyler's voice. He looked down at his phone to see a new message from Amanda.
"I feel like I'm bothering you though. I feel like I bother everyone..."
Craig sighed and replied.
"You aren't bothering me. And you aren't a bother. You are awesome to be around."
Tyler looked over to Craig's phone to see the conversation. He read the next text that came in.
"Maybe I should like, just disappear. I don't want to be here anymore..."
Tyler looked up from the phone and to Craig's face. He saw tears well up in his eyes. Tyler watched Craig as he typed his response quickly.
"Please don't disappear..."
Tyler could tell that Craig didn't know what else to say. He heard Craig sigh. "Hey, Craig." Tyler called out, gaining his attention. Craig looked up to Tyler. Tyler could see the worry in his eyes. The phone vibrated again before Tyler could continue to talk. They both looked at the screen quickly.
"But being here has put me in so much pain... Can't I just put myslef to rest so I don't have to hurt anymore? Do you have any idea what it's like to constantly hurt for no reason every fucking morning?"
Craig stared at the screen, not knowing how to reply. Tears finally made their way down his cheeks. "What the hell do I say to that..." He mumbled to himself. He sat his phone down and placed his head in his hands. Tears spilled from his eyes quickly, as if trying to make a river run down his face. Tyler pulled Craig close, hugging him tightly. Criag cried onto his chest. His body shook with every sob. Tyler rubbed his back in a comforting way. "I'm sorry Craig." Tyler said quietly, not sure on what to do or say. Craig's body trembled as he cried. He didn't want to lose Amanda. "I-I don't want to l-lose her Tyler... She's l-like a sister to m-me..." Craig said through sobs. Tyler pulled away a bit so he could look at Craig's face. "Then tell her that. Explain to her how much she means to you. But don't just text it to her, call her. Explain it to her. It's more powerful if she can hear your voice." Craig looked up at Tyler, his vision blurry from the tears. Tyler smiled slightly and took Craig's glasses off of his face. He wiped away the shorter male's tears and kissed his forehead. He placed Craig's glasses back on his face and smiled a bit more. "Let's go sit on the couch, and you can call her. I'll be right here to be some support." A small smile formed on Craig's lips. "Thank you Tyler..." He grabbed his phone off of the counter and walked to the couch, Tyler following. They sat down next to each other as Craig quickly dialed Amanda's number. Tyler held Craig's other hand to give him reassurance. Craig placed the phone to his ear and waited, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself from him crying earlier. His eyes lit up a bit as it seemed the call went through. "Hey, Amanda. I wanted to tell you something." Craig took another deep breath and looked over to Tyler. Tyler smiled encouragingly. Craig smiled as well, and started to tell Amanda how much she means to him.

(A/n) so, this was something i thought up becuase of that problem that happened. This is pretty much what happened. I was in Craig's shoes here in this story, but i didn't have someone like Tyler to be there for reassurance. But things are better now. I'm going to try to get more updates out soon. Things are lighting up so far. Thanks for reading all this stuff. You all really help tbh. Seeing notifications from you make me smile a lot, so thank you all. Thank you all very much.
