Broken Things

chapter 1 Broken meets broken

I saw him at the pharmacy, I was buying sleeping pills and he was buying antidepressants. Its factual knowledge in this quaint little town, how Eli is a loner and hates the world. There were rumors going around that he was suicidal. I never believed it but it may be true with all the antidepressants he was prescribed, the idea doesn't seem so farfetched. I just don't understand how a guy who used to be so happy could just, become the saddest person in the whole town.

I wonder if he is thinking why I keep looking at him at him. I don't know why either; its just he captivates my interest, I wanna see how this boy ticks, and what made him want to isolate himself from everyone. He used to be friends with Cameron my boyfriend, he used to be the lfe of the party, the shoulder anyone could cry on. He was so sweet and outgoing, but then he just stopped talking to everyone, he became cold, angry, and alone.

~~6 months later~~

I'm driving on a bridge, I just had to get out just leave the house. Its getting harder and harder to breathe. Why would she say that, why couldn't he defend me. She said I was a disappointment I ruined her life, all I ever did was bring her pain. He just watched, my dad, whom I have never known to show me a ounce of love watched my mother make me die inside. In the words of adventure time, " Every move I make is just another mistake I wonder what it will take because I feel like there's a whole inside my body like there's a whole inside my heart."

Its deserted on the bridge as I drive back and forth. But then I see Eli, he's just walking, why is he here, where is he going, then I saw him on the edge. I kept thinking how did he get there, why is he over there . As he was inching closer and closer with a piece of paper gripped in his hand, I realized he's gonna jump. I wish I could jump but I don't have the balls. Then I realized, oh shit, I should stop him and I did. I tackled him to the ground away from the ledge. He cursed me out.

"Why the fuck would you do that, you dumbass bitch, what the fuck is wrong with you, i was gonna finally be happy, i wasn't going to suffer anymore."

"Suicide is not the answer dumbass its just a long term solution to a temporary problem. " That problem may not be as temporary as you think, but it doesn't matter, why am I telling you this its not like you would ever understand." he said.

"No one ever understands" he whispered quietly, bit loud enough for me to hear.

"Oh I understand more than you could ever know." I said with my voice cracking towards the end.

I got back in the car. I barely even knew him, so why should it matter what he thought. So I left and drove off without a word of goodbye, I guess goodbye just wasn't for us.
