The Suicide List

"Kayleigh stop."

Stella said as Kayleigh stopped from falling off a tall bridge.

We traveled for two days as fast as we could. Ferdinand and I would take turns driving just so the trip goes straight ahead without stopping. Two days later, we were in Indies. We immediately helped one another in looking everywhere to find Kayleigh until we did, where she was already trying to fall off the bridge. That was when Stella went out the car and stopped her.

"You can't stop me Stella. It's too late. I want to die." She didn't look at her. She looked at the bottom of the bridge.

Stella then looked at me, "I know I can't stop you Kay. But he can."

"Kay."

This time she stopped and turned around, "Sebastian? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to stop you Kay."

"Just go home. Bring my sister along. It's too late-"

"No. I won't go home Kay. I won't go home unless you come with me."

"And why would you do tha-"

"Because I'm not supposed to leave you alone Kay. I made a promise to you. I love you."

There were tears in her eyes, "Sebastian-"

"Please Kay, don't leave me."

She shook her head and looked at the bottom of bridge. I then knew that nothing would really stop her. So I went to the bridge and looked down as well.

"Sebastian." Kayleigh gasped, "Are you fucking crazy?"

"Yes." I replied, "I'm so crazy that I'm willing to do this. I can't stop you Kay. But I can't live without you either. So it's best that I kill myself and be with you than lose you for good."

"Sebastian-"

"Give life another shot Kay. You said so yourself. You saw beautiful things you thought you'll never see. Imagine if you lose them all just because you killed yourself. Please Kay, don't leave me. Don't leave us."

After moments of hesitation, Kayleigh finally looked at me and Stella, and didn't jump off the bridge. Instead, she sat by the side of the road and sobbed. I then took it as an opportunity to approach her.

She then looked at me, with tears in her eyes, "It's hard to lose you Sebastian."

I wiped the tears in her eyes and smiled, "Then don't."

"Do you... really love me? Do you still love me even if I hurt you?"

"Of course I do baby. Heaven knows just how much I do."

She then hugged me, "I'm so sorry."

"Hey. It's okay. You don't have to say sorry."

And with that, I cupped her face. And after a month, I kissed her. I miss her lips on mine. She also kissed back with tears coming out of her eyes again. Afterwards, we pulled apart and I wiped those tears again.

"I love you."

"I love you too Sebastian."
