He was alone this time, unlike the time before.

He wanted to do it alone.

He leaned over the edge of the building and felt the wind embrace his body.

He felt free.

He stretched out his arms on each side and felt how the faint rain moistened his hands.

He opened his eyes and looked down.

A fence of barbed wire waited on the ground.

He wondered how far he would have to jump in order to not land on it.

He didn't want it to hurt.

He was interrupted by a voice on the right side of him.

He began to talk to a man.

He told him that his name was Liam and found out that the man's name was Oliver.

At the same time he saw how three police cars drove into the area and blocked the roads.

People had begun to gather around the house.

It was in the middle of the night and he wondered why people was out this late on a Tuesday night.

He heard a man down on the ground screaming "jump you coward!"

And that was enough.

He felt how his body became lighter and lighter, his feet were soon off this roof and that's when everything would be alright.

Or at least that's what he thought.
