Warning: Story contains Angst/suicide theme.

Happiness is fairytale, it happens to the lucky ones, and the unlucky ones, sit on top of buildings, looking at the pavement 30 stories up and wonder whether it's going to hurt when they hit it. I've been sitting here almost an hour and now I think I'm ready to fly. I've got to be, because after everything, my life has brought me here and if I wasn't truly ready, I wouldn't have come all this way. I stand up and get ready, here goes.
The door opens not far behind me and someone walks out.
"Excuse me, OH MY GOD! DON'T JUMP!" The voice scares me, I turn my head and look at the young boy who was almost a witness to my own self murder. The boy was shivering in fear, his eyes had tears streaming down them and he looked white as a ghost.
"Go away!" I tell him.
"Don't do it. Please. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you did this right here in front of me." The sweet boy says. With a growl I step back and sit. The guy walks over and sits beside me.
"Go away." I tell him again, weaker this time.
"My name is Kevin, Kevin Woo." He introduces himself.
"What's it matter? The dead don't remember names." I scoff.
"Well, you're not dead, so don't forget it." The guy smiles at me. "What's your name?" He asks.
"Kiseop."
"Why were you going to jump, Kiseop?" Kevin was sweet, I'd dealt with so many pricks and assholes in my life, but I'd finally met a sweet one, right before I died.
"My life isn't worth living anymore." I reply sadly.
"I don't believe that. You can't possibly know that." Kevin shrugs.
"What would you know?" I ask.
"Well you have to not jump if you want to find out what I know." Kevin replies with a cheeky grin that fades to a solemn face when he notices I'm not amused. "Ok, I know that people are assholes and they hurt you and that sometimes you can feel worthless and useless and pathetic, but I also know the sun comes up again every day and new things happen, and you never know, you find new places, learn new things and meet new people. Every day, there is a chance that you may just find what you never thought you would. If you give up now, you'll never know what you could have achieved and who you could have achieved it with. Your future isn't going to like this, you're not going to feel like this forever. You're going to miss out on something amazing. And maybe that one amazing thing you miss out on, is going to happen tomorrow, or in 5 minutes. If you jump now, then you are the one that is deciding you're unworthy to continue living. If you don't jump and you just hold on and wait and see what tomorrow brings, you might find out there's an awful lot of people who love you and think you are the most worthy of life, out of anyone." Kevin concludes and I didn't realise until he stopped speaking that he was smiling to himself, not a happy smile, a sad one. Like he was still convincing himself of these things. He was being strong.
