Alec's POV. 

---

My alarm goes off three times before my brain starts to even function. Are you fucking kidding me? It's morning already? I don't want to get up, I just want to stay in bed and sleep.

My alarm keeps ringing and I try hitting it, my hand swoops out of bed and attempts to get the annoying machine. I miss. I think they have created technology that will now move when you want to destroy it. What is this a robot alarm revolution? After one more attempt

I hit the off button and the beeping silences. I fall back asleep.

My mind is dreaming of faraway places and unfulfilled dreams, until I hear a clattering from the kitchen that jerks me awake again. What time is it? I turn on my alarm and check to see what time it is the clock shows that it is nearly 8:00AM. Wait, what day is it? Oh shit, it's Monday I kinda need to get out of bed. School starts in like a few minutes...

I rush into the cold shower just to wake myself up slightly, then I apply some hair gel and conditioner to my hair and I run down the stairs while still putting on my shirt.

On the way down I stub my toe against the stairs. It hurt like a bitch and I may have accidentally vocalised that in front of my younger siblings.

"Honey, don't swear in front of you siblings. Run or else you are going to be late for school,"

My Mom yells from a the nextdoor room. Her hearing is bloody astounding.

"Thank you, Mom!" I shout and I grab by lunch and my bag. Why did no one in this house wake me? I'm going to be late for school, not that I really care - but at this point I have more absences and tardies than presents and the secretary is getting really pissed at me.

I speed to my car and try to turn on the car. The engine revs and half-heartedly bursts to life twice. It's not going. My luck is incredible.

On the third try it jumps to life and I'm very grateful I didn't have to deal with a faulty car as well as being late this morning. I check the time it's 8:10, I still have 5 minutes to get to the school and then to my class. Pushing it close, even if I don't get stuck in traffic.

So. I turn the corner and there is traffic as far as the eye can see. Nice!

Frantically I look around I see a narrow street on my left. I risk it and turn into the street, somehow managing to make it into school only a few minutes late. I'm upsettingly proud of myself.

I park my car and I can still see the few stragglers walking into the main entrance of the high school. Yeah, this is practically early for me. I lock my car and slowly walk towards the entrance just as the last bell of the morning rings. Thank goodness, honestly, if I get another late, I think my mom might kill me.

As I'm trying to get in, I pass Amelia storming out of the building. She's followed by the majority of the school populace, all whispering things.

"Look there goes the slut,"

"What a whore,"

I stop in disgust for a second before pulling myself together.

"SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTHS!" I yell.

I need to find out what happened to her, I can see her crying and clutching her bag, tears rolling down her cheeks and she clearly and openly sobbing. She grabs her bike off of the rack and starts riding.

I need to follow her just to check if she's ok, and if she needs someone to talk to. I'm assuming she's going to the cliffs. She usually goes there when she is upset. Look, I'm not a stalker I swear, it's just that is one of my spots to go to when I am upset or angry with the world. I have seen her there a couple of times before.

I unlock my car and hop in the engine starts the first time and I'm already off. I don't care about skipping school, I'll just tell my mother that I needed to help a friend.

I lose track of the way because I am so lost in my thoughts, but after about 20 minutes I make it to the cliffs. I can hear a soft song quietly playing as I see amelia putting her phone next to her bike. I walk in a faster speed towards her, she is dangerously close to the cliff, what is she doing?

I'm right behind her - I can smell her perfume and her hair flicks gently into my face because of the wind. I just reach out to touch her hand, wanting to say something to her when she jumps.

My whole breath stops and catches. In that moment only one thought is running through my head. No, I'm not losing her now.

Pure adrenalin and raw emotions flood my body, and I grab her by her arm. She's dangling off the cliff, the only thing still holding her in this world is her frail hand holding mine.

As she dangles there, I can see her pain and anger and sadness etched across her face. I hoist her up fast and move her to a safer area a few meters away from the cliff. No one should ever feel this way. She was about to commit suicide and there was no way in hell I was going to let her, regardless if she wanted to die or not.

I grip her tightly and hug her as if I was never going to let her go. I am never going to let her go.

"I've got you, I've got you" I keep repeating to her Her body is as close to mine, she's so frail, so weak. She's crying on my chest, trembling, tears dripping down her face and onto my chest.

"I will never let you jump, Amelia. You are just too important to me." I feel raindrop on my forehead and I grab her tighter.

I'm such a believer in the whole "everything happens for a reason" thing, if i didn't wake up late then I would have never seen Amelia storm out and run off. She would have been dead, ripped out of my life.

I just realized just then that I cannot live without her. I've not been nice to her - the opposite really. But that's going to change.

Heavy rain falls all around us as we stand here, Amelia resting her head on my chest and I am resting my chin on her head.

"I will never let you go," I tell her.

"I will never let you go."

getting close now everyone. next update next Sunday! x
