Coruscate

Prologue

Trigger Warning...

"Ayoko naaaaaaaa! I just wanna die!!!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was screaming so loud but nobody can hear me. Nobody can see through the smile I'm always faking lately. Nobody understands me. Nobody.

I'm about to get up from the railings so I could jump to my death. Nobody will miss me naman kasi. I was gripping the railings so hard and was about to push myself up and over when someone held my waist and put me down safely a bit far away from the railings.

"What the?! Yaaaaah! Don't touch me! Put me dooooooooown!!! Bitawan mo ako!" I was kicking and punching the guy who held me until he dropped me and I fell on my arse.

"Ouch! Why did you freaking dropped me?" I said while rubbing my behind. Ang sakit ng pagkahulog ko ahhh.

"Well you said bitawan kita. Why the hell are you trying to kill yourself by jumping off from the 42nd floor? That's such a gruesome death. And I don't wanna be a part of that." The guy was still animatedly talking how gruesome my death could have been but I can no longer focus on his speech. I was entranced by his handsome face and his tall stature. I know he's handsome even tho my vision of him is blurry because of my tears. He just got that confident vibe in him that adds to his appeal.

"Who said I wanna be saved? You could've just let me." I finally had the guts to talk as I removed my stare at him. I just grabbed my bag from where I left it and marched towards the rooftop exit of my condominium building. My plan was ruined anyway, might as well leave and plan a 'better' way to die.

"Hey Missy, you were trying to kill yourself. I just cannot let that happen. Besides, sayang naman ang maganda mong mukha if hinayaan kita magsuicide. I'm sorry for butting in your business but I believe there's always a solution to every problem other than death. Okay?"

I kinda stopped my steps when he said I have a pretty face. How can he say that when I know for a fact that my mascara is running down my face due to my tears and my hair is a mess because of the blowing wind.

Why does he think there's a solution other than death to my problems? Is his life perfect? Well I'm sorry mine isn't! I was about to take another step when he grabbed my arm forcing myself to look at him. Why is he grinning??

"I'm Denzel by the way. You can talk to me about anything. I am here to listen. No judgements I swear. I just don't want people resorting to suicide when I can be of help." He was even raising his right hand in a promise kind of way. He's kinda cute like that which is a bit distracting.

"I'm tired. Please let go of me and just forget that you saw me here. I don't need you to listen to me. I don't need your help. Just let me be." I was struggling in his strong hold. He was holding me as if I am about to go attempt suicide again. I mean, dude killed my plans. Buti pa yung plans ko dead na, while I'm here still freakin struggling!

"I'm sorry but I won't let you." He dragged me towards the rooftop exit and straight to the lift. He pushed the G button and the elevator started descending.

"Let's go clear your mind for a while. I know a great place where we could eat our hearts out. That will take your mind of your problems for sure." He said it with such a dazzling smile, I just sighed and let him drag me to wherever...
