Depression has a hero

Chapter 2

Luke;

"Luke, bro you can't leave, you'll get in trouble. " Dale tried to persuade me. But I'm just not feeling it today. I can't go on, I'm not sure what it is, but I just feel kind of down.

"I don't want to struggle through the day man. Just cover for me, tell them I felt sick and went home. Please." I begged him, a sigh left him as he shrugged in a bare agreement. I pat his back and got up from the lunch table. I started to sneak my way to the door, hoping no one would see me, and I quickly slipped out. That was easier than I thought. I flipped my hoodie over my head, seeing as the rain was pouring down. My house was near school. So it wasn't that long of a walk. When I walked inside, (because I always forget to lock it) I walked with my bag and books thinking about how was dumb it kind of was for me to leave school. It wasn't like I would get caught, maybe I'm just over thinking. I walked to my messy room. I dropped my bag on my bed and ran back downstairs. I locked the door (this time) and put the keys in my jean pocket. The weather still wasn't the best but I was in need to just walk and think about something that wasn't school. I was thinking of places I could walk to, then it hit me. I decided to walk to the train tracks. It was always quiet there. And from that point on, I walked with my head down, so that no one around would be able to recognize me. I put my ear buds in, kind of tuning out the world for a brief moment. I turned up the already loud rock music until it felt like a concert was playing around me.

-

I finally made it to the train tracks. It took longer to get there because I went the long way. I heard the screaming of the train coming this way. Which was unusual because it is usually quiet when I'm here. Well, I barely come here, but when I did visit this sorrowful place, it was quiet. I looked down the tracks to see the train coming. But I saw more than just a train. There was this black figure, moving its way onto the train tracks. I began walk

There was this black figure, moving its way onto the train tracks. I began walking in its direction, so that I could get a better look.

"Hey!" I yelled, trying to call out the person. It scared me, I could hear the depressing wails of this person over the screeching of the train. I started running towards them now. It was me, against time. The train was starting to approach them, faster with each fast step I took to reach this person. "Hey! Get out of the way!" I yelled again, but they didn't move. They put their arms up, ready for this train to impact them with its heavy steel exterior. The train was almost here. I could hear the horn going off, trying to move this person out of the way. There was no slowing down this train. I made it to the person, with only a few seconds to spare.

"W-What? No. Get out of here!" They yelled. I could tell it was a girl by the way her high pitched voice blended in with the high screaming noise of the train. I looked down the tracks, I can say I've never been so close to a train in my life. That's when I stopped listening to her plead, and pushed her off the tracks. I held on to her as we rolled onto the field on the other side. "No! What are you doing! Get off of me!" She cried out. She tried to escape me a couple of times, but I wouldn't let her go. She finally gave up and began to cry in my arms.

"Shhh, it's going to be okay." I whispered to her. I don't know her, but I'm guessing she needs all the support she can get right now.

"I want to die." She emphasized the dying part as her cries became even more sadder than before.

"No, please don't talk like that. Why would you try something like that?"

"Because everyone hates me." her voice become gill and she looked up to my eyes before she leaned her head against my shoulder. "You do not have to pretend like you care." she took a heavy breath and was going to stand up and walk away, but when I took her hand, she stopped. "I care, please talk to me," I said and held her hand harder. She started to cry again. I stood up and pulled her close to me. "Don't cry it's going to be okay." I whispered.

"Please tell me" I loosed my grep around her but hold her close to me.

"Everyone hates me, even my mum. She is always on her job and work so I don't see her. Everyone in school and just every singel person hates me" she started to cry before she told me about how she missed her dad and that they had divorce and she told me about how she always felt hated and she never understood why.

"Why do you think everyone hates you? I don't hate you."

"Well, you will soon. So don't worry about me." She said. She then stood up, leaving my arms. I didn't want her to go because I was afraid she would try to rid herself off again. I grabbed her hand, but she managed to slip away.

"Uh, I suppose I thank you. You saved me when I really didn't want to be saved. But um, yeah. " She started walking away from me. I sat there, wondering if I should call after her or not.

I sat at the same place while I was thinking about what she said "we'll you will soon"

I was so confused. Why should I start to hate her? I stood up and started to go home.

The thoughts of her were running through my mind. What if I didn't save her? I would have been a witness of her death. I couldn't live like that. Even though she didn't want me to save her, I have no regrets of what I did. I wonder if she goes to the same school as I?

So soon as I came home I started to search for her in the yearbooks I had. I I started to ask my friends about her and while I explained how she was looking I realized how beautiful she was.

Thick blond hair, cute eyes and a cute voice, she looked to have soft lips. Even if her makeup was messed up from all tears I could imagine her infront of me.

I didn't find her in the years books and I didn't know her name so I didn't know what to search after except how she looked. My friends didn't know about her. I started to think about if she run to another place and tried to kill herself and the thought gave me a big pain in my stomach.

I woke up next day and I fixed me so fast I . I wanted to be at school so early I could. I need to find her.

The whole day was I searching for her in school.

I turned around to see a girl with curly blond hair walking the other way. I coudnt understand it. It was she. I started to run after her and when I was close enough did I take her hand. She turned around and looked at me with big eyes.

"Leave me alone! " She nearly yelled. But I felt like she quickly came to realization of who I was and she started to back away from me. Slowly.

"No where are you-" I couldn't finish my sentence because she then started to walk away from me. If I chased after her, it would make a big scene. And I think that's the last things she would want.

I let her go. She walked away from me, I couldn't react to it much. I turned myself around, forgetting my friends were standind there, and I also began to walk away, to my class that is. It felt a bit longer to get to class. Usually I'm the first one here, but not today. I looked around, my thoughts were over powering me, and I started to walk around until I sat down in a seat, it wasn't my usual seat. Nothing has been usual lately.

Am I taking this all too seriously? I began to think. Should I just leave her alone amd continue my life, pretending I don't know her?

She doesn't even want me to help her and I dont know how to help her either. She's just another stupid girl that I'm wasting my time on and cant stop thinking about.

"This is so stupid" I Told myself. I tried to think on something else, but my head was stuck on her. It'll blow over. I'm just over thinking it. Yeah.
