Joe and Dianne: My Suicide Saviour - Part 2

I've got you

Joe's POV:

I felt my heart flutter slightly as I saw her turn around. I know I shouldn't have been thinking about this but It showed me that Dianne really did love me. I had finally done something good. I had stopped her from jumping.

As she faced me, I stood close to the balcony railing to help her. I held out my hands in the hope that she would hold onto me. She didn't.

She kept her shaking hands clutched firmly onto the slippery, metal railing. I didn't think it was a good idea so I watched her carefully as she began to raise her leg over the railing.

As she looked me in the eyes, I could see just how scared Dianne was.

It wasn't right seeing her like this. She was usually so happy. So welcoming.

But right now her eyes were like pits of despair. Her fear showing like a flash light through her broken features. That smile that I loved so much was no where to be seen. The dimple on her cheek hiding away. I couldn't look into her eyes any more. They were a broken shell of who Dianne once was. Who she was before she met me.

I looked at her feet through the metal bars on the railings. I saw her back foot slip off of the narrow ledge. My heart dropped and I began to panic.

I instinctively leapt forward to grab her hand to stop her from falling. I moved so quickly I whacked my ribs onto the metal bar. I felt a bruise come up but that wasn't important.

I just managed to grab her arm in time. I knew that I was hurting her with how tightly I was gripping on, but it was for her own benefit.

The rain water had made her arms wet and slippery and I could feel my grip loosening on her pale flesh. Dianne was left dangling over the side of the railing. Her precious life flashing before her broken eyes. Her arm was slowly slipping out of my hands and I could feel her body weight dragging her down. I used every muscle I had and heaved her up to the balcony. Using every ounce of my limited strength. Eventually I got her high enough up. I let go of her arm and wrapped my arms underneath her armpits, pulling her up over the railing to safety.

I collapsed backwards on the floor and Dianne fell on top of me. I was breathing heavily and so was she. I wrapped my arms around her as she left her weary head onto my chest that was rapidly rising up and down.

"I've got you Dianne." I held her closer to my body. My breaths were heavy and my thoughts were a mess.

"I've got you."

A/N Sorry it's only a short one. I'll try and upload later tonight. xx
