In a downtown area of souther Canada a man is running through the twon desperately searching for his partner.

I'm running faster to the highway. I know he's going to be there I can feel it.

Snow is starting to fall. Just fucking great. Hopefully it won't start falling faster.

I turn the right corner and I see him in the street light he's looking over the highway. A blank expression on his face.

"GILLAN!" I yell.
He doesn't even look at me. Damnit you bastard.
"GILLAN!" I yell louder using every bit of my speed to get closer to him.

Still he doesn't turn towards me, instead he begins to pull himself up onto the railing. Fucking shit.

"GIL PLEASE!" I scream. I'm almost there.

He's going faster now but I'm faster. I get to the chain fence and begin to pull him down.
Of course he struggles and starts kicking and screaming once I get him off of the fence.

I turn him towards me and take both of his wrists in my hands.
"What the Hell were you thinking?!" I almost yell "You dumbass! Do you have any idea what would've happened to the rest of us if you had-"
I can't finish the thought. Instead I grab the man in front of me and pull him into a tight hug.

He doesn't struggle against me, instead he holds me back almost like he slumped into me.
"I'm sorry." A quiet voice says.
The albinos body begins to shake.
I have so many questions for him but tonight isn't tonight.

"Can I take you home?" I ask quietly.
Gil nods into my shoulder and I seperate us from the hug, but I make sure I grip one of his hands before we begin to walk home.

When we get to my house he's cold and it's early in the morning. I take him into my side bathroom by my bedroom and start a warm bath for him.

"Why do you want to die?" I ask softly remembering to not get angry.

Gil was quiet for a moment and just sat on the closed toilet seat looking at the ground then his dark eyes shifted to me as he said in a whisper.
"I am nothing. I am just wasteful."

I take his freezing hands thst are clasped together and shake my head.
"That's not true. You go to the hospital and help kids you make them laugh, you calm them down. You are my friend."

"You mean something to people."

He isn't responding.

I sigh "Gil say it with me please."
He looks at me and I speak.
"I am not nothing."

He looks away from me. I turn off the warm water and get up to kneel in front of him looking into his eyes.
"You are not nothing."

Still nothing.

"I will get it out of you somehow." I say stubornly.

I wait a moment before going to his sides and I begin to tickle him.
Gils' eyes go wide amd he thrashes around for a second before he falls on me.

I fall back onto the tile floor my head hitting the rug. A smile on my face while he laughs still, trying o take deep breaths.

Then his eyes meet mine and we look at each other for a long time we don't say anything. Then he leans down and hugs me.

I hold him back.
"Please." I almost whimper out my heart breaking as I know I almost lost him tonight.
"Never do that again. Talk to me first. I'm here for you. I always. Will. Be. Here."
I say trying to control my voice.

Soon we're both crykng on the floor holding each other.
We ditch the bath and just change into pjamas. Gil sleeps with me that night and has for a long time.
I can't loose him. I really can't.

If you or someone you know is dealing with suicidal thoughts please call your local suicide hotline.
I know that a lot is on the line and you could be worried about friendships but they could die one day and you would have known and not done anything about.

Lives are worth to live not just survive.
