There were hundreds of reasons why I would leave but, based upon the one sole reason you gave me to stay.

I stayed.

Jump

Is all I could think

Maybe if I jumped the constant thoughts would leave me in peace

My palms became sweaty as I took a step closer, I was on the edge of the cliff

All I needed to do was jump

I was taking one last look at the world And as I shut my eyes and took a step closer to the edge a voice interrupted me.

"Stop" he screamed

"Please stop." He pleaded

"Why?" I ask sadly

"Because you have so much more to live for"

I turned around to look at his face, he was very handsome

Clear olive colored eyes, colorful red hair, and tattoos scattered on his arms

"Please, don't do this" he repeats, his eyes filled with worry and his arms wide open

Tears spill from my eyes and I run into his arms. He just started rubbing my back soothingly and he pulled away from the hug to wipe my tears

"Thank you" I whispered

"You scared me, don't leave"
