Bury a Friend | G.d |B.e

Chapter One

One afternoon, Grayson Dolan and his brother Ethan Dolan were on their roof cleaning the gutters from the snow and leaves; as they were finishing the job, they heard a yell and looked up to see a girl preparing to hang herself from a nearby tree on the other side of the street.

Grayson quickly jumped off the roof onto the soft snow on the floor, and grabbed the ladder and raced across the road to try and talk her down, but when he was barley reaching the girl that's when things got real.The moment Grayson started to climb his ladder, the girl jumped. Luckily, He managed to catch her in his arms, holding her far enough off the ground to save her life. Less luckily, he found himself now stuck up a ladder, holding the girl desperate to squirm out of his grasp and finish the job.

Grayson and Ethan lived in a isolated area with only about 4 houses near by, it being the afternoon meant that all their neighbors were all at work; or school. Ethan still trying to get down from the roof to help his brother but with out the ladder made it harder for him. Ethan finally just jumped and started to run to Grayson and the squirming girl.

Ethan had no way to get up to the girl or Grayson because He didn't want Grayson to loose his balance on the ladder.

"Go call for help" Grayson grunted.

Ethan nodded and quickly ran back to the house to call the police.

Grayson balanced on the ladder, holding a hysterical, suicidal girl in the searing cold. Once Ethan called the cops he ran back quickly holding a knife. Grayson took one of his hands off the girl and reached for the knife. Once it was in his hand he reached up and cut the rope from her neck, then letting her and himself fall into the snow below them. Grayson while falling turned the wrong way and his arm was up right. The girl falling onto his up right arm then heard a crack.

The girl quickly got up to see Graysons left arm bent in a way it's not supposed to be.

"I-i didn't mean for this to happen" she softly said. She started hyperventilating as Ethan ran to his brothers side.

She then collapsed onto the cold soft snow as the police and a ambulance started to arrive.

Grayson got up slowly grunting at the pain in his left arm, and went to the side of the girl. He moved the hair out of her face as his brother ran to the police to go tell them of the situation.

Grayson had a chance to see her face fully and sighed.
He didn't care much about his arm; he knew it would heal.
This girl was more important to him.

She really was beautiful; she had pale fair skin, red cheeks due to the cold.
White, silver like hair with hints of blue.

He touched her pale skin with his good hand and she Furrowed her eyebrows.

Then the police came closer to the 2 and told Grayson to let them do their job.
Grayson took a few steps back and saw his brother coming to his side.

"She'll be okay, don't worry" Ethan said as he put his arm over him.

They put the girl on a stretcher and rolled her to the ambulance as Grayson followed and sat in the back with her.

Ethan stayed at the house, he was going to drive to the hospital later.
