Slowly I Fall

Chapter One: Jump

   The tears slide slowly at first then quicker as I look off the edge of the building. One hundred feet down... that's enough to kill me... I walk until my toes just touch the edge of the building. I turn, my back to the open air. I lean, lean until I feel my heels leave the ground, then I let gravity do its work. I don't struggle, I just close my eyes and wait for the peace to set in, the peace of knowing this horrible life I've been leading will soon come to an end. But that peace never comes, all I can think about is him. He seemed to make it all go away, the pains I felt from my mother's death, the abuse I got from my father, the teasing... everything. He made me happy for once in my life. He protected me from everyone who hated me, they all hated me. Girls jealous of my body, boys mad that I wasn't easy like all the others. I was top of the class, called a nerd. He kept my father away, he got my father put in jail. He comforted me. I didn't deserve him. He loved me. Or at least, I thought he did. I thought he would end my pain, but he only made it worse. He added so much to it. He's the reason I jumped. Natsu Dragneel... the reason I decided to die.
