Save him

9~ Breath from a sewer

Warning: Scenes may be triggering

I glared at the lady who must be Caleb's mum "There is no reason to be rude I said sorry" I snapped at her and she just scoffed "That's why you have eyes!" I could see Caleb trying to get her away but I wasn't finished here oh no not yet! "Is there a problem?" I heard Carter ask wrapping his arm around my waist. Caleb almost looked hurt but it went away and he continued trying to convince his mum to leave.

"Tell your fucking whore to watch where she is going!" She yelled and jeez this lady needs a breath mint I swear! And I cracked it "I am NOT a whore! For your information I am still a virgin and YOU, you have breath from a sewer! Ever heard of breath mints?!" I yell, she looked a bit taken aback by my outburst and I ended up being pulled, well more like dragged away by Carter. "You need to calm down okay you cant just yell at people and say stuff like that it looked like that lady was on drugs or some shit, I wouldn't be surprised if her son was on them to" I pushed Carter off me

"Caleb does NOT do drugs, don't accuse people you don't even know" I growled out, sheesh when did I get so protective over him? Carter raised his hands in the air as surrender "Sorry I didn't know you knew him" He mumbled looking away, he was acting weird... "Are you okay Carter? You seem different" He shrugged and slumped down to the ground so I sat next to him "I broke up with my girlfriend last week" He whispered my eyes went wide, Carter and Rosie were such an adorable couple! "What...why?"

"It just wasn't working...but i did fall for someone else, I like them and I have for about a month now" Just what? Huh he fell for someone else, guess he wants to be with her more than Rosie wow "Who is she?" He looked up at me and opened his mouth to say who and "Guys hurry up the movies gonna start" Jason yelled, I looked over and Carter and helped him up hugging him lightly "Its alright, everything will work out in the end lets go watch the movie" He nodded

Caleb's POV

"Is there a problem?" Some guy asked wrapping his arm around Kristinas waist, I have to admit I felt a little jealous but why? I have no clue. "Come on mum lets just leave" I pleaded but she didn't listen, she had a a few drinks before we left shes normally not this bad

"Tell your fucking whore to watch where she is going!" Oh jeez this isn't going to end well, knowing Kristina she wont let this slide to easily. Yep I knew it her face boiled with anger "I am NOT a whore! For your information I am still a virgin and YOU, you have breath from a sewer! Ever heard of breath mints?!" Nice one Kris I thought to myself smiling a bit before she get pulled away by the guy. "We are leaving right now you were no help! Do you not give a shit about your mother!?"

"Do you give a shit about me? Or even your daughter that got taken away by YOUR parents!" She was angry now, I shouldn't have said that "Your worthless you know that fucking worthless" She spat she looked at her watch "I have to go somewhere walk home or better yet get lost" She growled walking away leaving me there. I looked down, I am worthless... No one cares for me. I walked out the shopping center to my house it was about a 45 minute walk, after a while all things were running through my head

Worthless...

Waste of space....

I don't need you...

All the things my mother has said to me, it broke my heart honestly i don't know what i have done wrong. I sighed as my eyes started to water slightly. I grabbed my phone and opened the messages between me and Kris

To: Kris

Im sorry... thank you for being there you really helped me though a lot you kept me alive a few more days I am really thankful. Im sorry I wont be able to help you finish the project

Goodbye

I shut my eyes and walked. When I got to the house no one was home course. I breathed heavily and walked, rope check, write something? No who cares right. I looked at my phone and saw I got a message 20 minutes ago

From: Kris

CALEB PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID PLEASE PLEASE WHERE ARE YOU I WILL HELP JUST NAME THE PLACE PLEASE! I CANT LOSE YOU JUST PLEASE!! YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!

I put my phone down "Im sorry Kris" I whisper, I tied the rope up and put it on my neck...Am I going to do this? I have one person to live for but it could all be fake it could be a dare... I shut my eyes 1......2.....3 I jump... "NO! DON'T!" i felt myself losing, my eyes shutting and my body being moved around. I fell to the ground I was cut down... My eyes opened slightly everything was blurry but I saw one person an Angel... "Keep your eyes open" The angelic voice ordered...The angel that was crying that's all I remember before everything went dark, death? I think I hope so...

****

I opened my eyes slowly, bright light "Am I dead" I mumble

"No" Someone says sternly I rub my eyes and look around it was the voice of the angel... Kristina her eyes were puffy and red, she was sitting on a small couch in my room "You were going to leave me" She whispered, I tried to get up but I felt weak. "No one cares...and did you call anyone?"

"No I didnt I was panicked.. Also that Is not true! What am I doing here then Caleb?! Tell me am I just here for the fun of it!" I looked away feeling slightly guilty "Probably just a dare" I mutter and then she stood up angrily

"A dare?! WHY, NEVER HAVE I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TO CUT DOWN SOMEONE FROM A ROPE SOMEONE WHO MEANT SO MUCH TO ME!" She yelled with new tears streaming down her face. Beauty Is all I can think. Beautiful is what she is... crying or not. I sat up looking at her she is the person I want to live for I stood up and looked down at her then cupped her face with both my hands and leaned my forehead against hers closing my eyes "What are you doing to me Kris...."

"W-what do you mean?" She asked her face relaxing slightly. She makes me feel alive, she is my reason to live the one the keeps me here and makes me feel like im worth something "Don't worry I am sorry okay...I am so so sorry" she wraps her arms around my waist and I wrap mine around her neck securely. I am now sure, I have got feelings for this girl...I Caleb Ross have got a crush on the schools popular girl, Kristina Harp and I am okay with that.
