I looked out my window to see a boy standing on the train tracks. His shadow danced along the forest tunnel, like flames against the dark night. There's another one. I've stopped about 6 people from committing suicide since I renovated the old station. I was disowned long ago, but already made a camp here. I walked out to the platform and studied the kid. Tall, about 6'. His dirty blonde hair swayed in the autumn breeze. He looked skinny, but not unhealthy.
"Hey, kid! Watcha doing out there?" I called. My voice echoed in the in the air. The stranger stumbled and almost fell, as he was balancing in the rail. I traipsed toward him
"No, stay away from me." He backed up, slipping off the rail and almost falling again. His goldish locks wavered from his face, allowing me to see his sparkling eyes. The left eye was a deep ocean blue, the right, a stunning steel-grey. I can only think of one person in the whole town that had two different colored eyes. Marshall. His appearance baffled me. My fucking crush is about to commit suicide. Now I know I have to save him.
"Come on, Marshall. Do you really want to die? You've got so much to live for." I stopped, he was in the middle of the tracks and I felt the faint rumble of the oncoming train. My eyes flickered down the tracks, a bright headlight tore through the pitch black of the night.
"Don't come near me!" He screamed. "I want to die. My parents found out I'm gay and beat me senseless. Mark found out, and now I've been bullied for weeks. No one is there to help me up. And don't tell you know what it feels like. To feel so alone that you can't go on anymore. To know that there's no hero to fight off the bad guys. To have these feelings bottled up inside for so long, that you want to just scream. I sink farther and farther everyday knowing that everyone is thinking about hanging with their friends, and I'm just there wishing I could jump off a building." His knees buckled and he fell to the tracks. He looked at me with red eyes and tear stained cheeks. I walk up to him.
"Believe it or not I do. And I fought it. I had one person to live for. I know they don't like me, but I'm alive because I knew of I was patient enough they'd notice eventually. Everyday,I would look at their smiling face and wish that I could be the cause of the smile one day. Come with me and let everything out. I'll listen and help in whatever way I can. I promise" I held my hand to the beautiful boy in front of me. He shakily raised his own and grasped my own tightly. I pulled him off the tracks, partially dragging him. Before we got to the platform the train came roaring past us. Marshall looked back with longing eyes, but continued to follow me. I jumped onto the platform and pulled him up behind me. His foot caught on the overhang and he tumbled, I able to regain his balance.
I fell over into me and we both went sprawling across the cement. We landed with him on top of me. One of his legs between mine and the other on the side of my left leg. I shook the stray gravel from hair and glanced up a him. I saw a blush creep onto his cheeks and felt my own heat up too. Marshall's expression softened and his hands moved so he was hovering over me. He mumbled something. I cocked my head to the right to hear better so I could hear, but it didn't help.
"What?"
"Ya know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna do something I've wanted to do for a long time" He gently pushes his lips on mine. I was shocked but slowly kissed back. After about a minute of the first fairy tale kiss I've ever had, he pulled away. A mischievous, but adoring loo was in his eyes. "Sorry but I had to do that. I've loved you since the first day I met you Arthur."
"I love you too, Marshall."
"Thanks for stopping me."
"Like I'd ever let you leave." I stated with a wink. He chuckled and gave me that beautiful smile I wished to be the cause of. I finally was. He slowly got off me but kept our hands intertwined. We walked inside, out of the freezing weather. We talked until the sun rose and fell asleep in each others arms.
This was the best day of my life. And I will never forget it
