The bells ring out from the bell tower, I get ready to jump, to end my life at the stroke of midnight between new years eve and day. I don't want to live anymore, I am tired of living a life of which no one cares for me. The bells ring out and I jump, only to be stopped by a pair of strong arms. I look up and see my best friend who left 2 years ago. He lifts me up and back onto the bridge."Don't jump", he whispers into my ear. "Why? I ask. He leans forward and gentle presses his lips to mine, the moves back. "That's why", he whispers as he carris me home bridal style. The bells ring out from the bell tower wishing everyone a happy new year.
