Doyoung
never in a million years would i have thought that i would be in this situation. never in a million years would i have thought that i would be fighting against time to save someone from dying. yet here i was rushing to park my car on the vacant street to save someone i didn't even know.
i quickly but quietly stepped out of my car to not startle the boy. i could hear sniffles and quiet whispers. things like "nobody wants me" and "this is for everyone's good" came out from his mouth. i stepped closer to the boy and was ready to pull him off the edge, but he turned around.
apart from being bloodshot red from all the tears coming from his eyes, he had a black eye and a few scratches on his face. "don't come any closer! i'm finally doing what i want to do! just pretend you didn't see me!" his voice was hoarse and he stumbled across his words due to his sobs. i didn't know what to do but i needed to act fast.
he started to turn around and my head started to spin. i couldn't just walk away. i needed to do something before he does something he regrets. i looked around to see if there was anyone there that could help me, but it's almost 2 in the morning so nobody was out.
i looked back at the boy and he was leaning forward. i wanted to shut my eyes but my legs acted faster. i ran up to the ledge and took ahold of his arm before he could throw himself off. "i told you not to come closer! please let go of me!" he shook my arm around but i kept a firm grip. "i don't even know who you are, but i know you'll regret this later. just come off the ledge and we'll talk."
he kept on thrashing around and my grip started to slip. my arms acted fast and securely placed themselves around his waist. then i used all my strength to pull him off the ledge and onto the side of the road. "i wasn't going to let you fall. just think of your family and friends. they would have been worried sick." he stopped trying to wiggle out of me grasp and let out a sigh. "i'm better off dead. i don't have friends and most certainly don't have a family."
my eyes widen at his words. i didn't know what to say. "just pretend you didn't see me. i'll finish what i started and you can get home to your family. they might be worried." he tried to stand up but i held him down. "i'm not letting you go. no one is worrying for me because i don't have a family either." i could feel him tense up at my words. "I am sorry mr. i didn't know." i felt him look down.
i don't know what i was thinking but soon i was hugging the boy while tears fell down my face. "please don't hurt yourself. you are special to someone out there, i just know it." he didn't respond. "i know you don't think so but everyone has a special somebody. maybe just maybe you'll meet them soon, so please, don't hurt yourself!" at this point i was sobbing with the stranger in my arms. i couldn't feel him shiver at my words. and soon he turned around to hug me back. "thank you for your kind words sir. but i don't think anyone will need me anytime soon. i do appreciate your actions. nobody has ever gone that far for me."
his words hit me like bricks. if no one takes his emotions seriously who has he been living with to make him feel this way? why does he feel so down? maybe, just maybe, i could make him feel happy? as soon as those thoughts popped up in my head, the words flew right off my tongue.
"would you like to spend the night at my house?"
