i looked back down at the ground, seeing the shards of broken glass spread everywhere.

it looked inviting, screaming my name to fall against it.

i thought about it though.

this is the first time i've had second-thoughts about suicide.

the reason for that: harry.

i'd hate myself if the last thing i left harry with was a picture of my splattered self against the black pavement.

i love him too much for that.
