Highway Suicide

I was driving home from my moms house out in Baton Rouge, in Louisiana, when I saw someone get out their car with a rope and walk towards a tree. I slowly pulled over on the other side of the freeway and watched. The person threw the rope over the tree and tightened it, then they put it around their neck. I let out a scream in my car and jumped out to get them to stop. They were in the middle of climbing up when I got there.

"STOP!" I scream. The figure freezes and slowly turns around. I gasp when I see the person. It was Hunter Hayes, my idol. He was giving up. Lately he'd been getting ALOT of hate for something he didn't even do and in a way I don't blame him for giving up.

"Who are you?" He asks.

"Y/n. Come down Hunter. Please!" I beg. He shakes his head fast.

"No. This has to be done. So many people want me to do this. So, I'm doing it." He says sighing and starting to climb.

"But more people want you to live! I want you to live! Don't kill yourself. Show them they can't bring you down like they do to us. Please." I say tearing up a little. He looks down at me and frowns when he sees me starting to cry but looks up and climbs more. I frown and let all my tears fall and climb up the tree after him. He saw me coming so he climbed faster.

"Oh my god. How big is this tree?" I groan. I grab ahold of a brand but it starts to break and there was nothing else for me to grab. I heard it snap a little.

"H-Hunter?" I whisper-yell. He stops and furrows his eyes brows at me but his mouth drops when he sees my situation.

"I-I'm coming." He says climbing to me. Right as he was about to get to me, the branch breaks off. I let out a scream as I start to fall but Hunter jumps down and catches me. I gasp and his face starts to turn purple, from no air. I somehow get onto a branch and pull him onto it and get him some air.

"Are you ok?" I ask him while he was breathing deeply.

"Yeah, I guess so, Are you?" He asks grabbing my hand. I had got a couple splinters into my hand and I didn't even notice.

"Yeah, you should be worried about yourself though. Not me." I say. He pushes some hair behind my ear and smiles.

"I literally just risked my life, that I was about to end, just to save you. And in the end you saved me. I'm not sure what to say but I guess thank you?" He says. I let out a little laugh and smile at him.

"You're welcome." I say hugging him.

"Now let's get down." I say scooting over to climb down. He nods and follows behind me. We get down to the bottom of the tree and I look over at Hunter.

"So where are you headed?" I ask.

"Anywhere where you are." He says smirking. I smirk back and head to my car and hop in. I look over and see Hunter's car pull up next to me. I smirk yet again and take off onto the, surprisingly, empty highway. I look behind me and see him following me. I smile and turn my radio up and jam to 96.1 all the way to Lafayette.
