I live on the 22nd floor so i took the lift down. It seemed to be a slow ride but when i got to the bottom it started to rain. no one else was about and it was dark. I walked onto the street. I would cross the bridge and go from there. There was a man, or rather a boy, around my age he didn't see me until i got closer but i had my hod up. His hair was a black and his eyes a glittery green. He wore a grey sweatshirt a jeans. He gave me a faint smile and i smiled back. He seemed to want to hide something but i just walked on.I got to the end of the bridge and looked into one of the shop windows. The reflection was just me. I wanted to see if I could see the boy. I looked hard in the reflection where he was but he wasn't there. I turned. There he was standing on the wall of the bridge. It only took me a moment to think of what he was doing. 

"Hey!"

He slipped. I screamed and started running to where he was. He was sat down on the ledge. He looked up at me. His eyes startled as they locked with mine. 

"Why were you doing that?" i asked.

"Someone told me too." His voice was shaking.

"Who?"

"A man in the street. I feel asleep on his door way."

"Ok, whats your name?" I needed to help him.

"What? Oh ...Kei. " He said.

"Ok, do you have your phone can you call your parents?"

 His eyes started to fill with tears. He blinked and they came out.

"Whats wrong?"

He looked down. 

"They died."

Crap.

"Siblings? Friends?"

"Dead. Don't have any." He looked sadder than ever.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Where do you live then?"

"Nowhere i'm a... tramp."

Now this is getting awkward and i was getting nowhere.

"Right, do you want me to help you out a bit by giving yo-"

"I don't want money."

"Well can I help you in any way?" I asked.

"No. I'm fine."

Obviously he wasn't fine.

"Oh ok. I guess i'll leave you too it?"

"Ok. Bye."

I wasn't to sure about leaving a suicidal man on a bridge, like he could walk of the edge but i tried. So I just walked of. I'm sure he would get on. Hopefully.
