I decided on my birthday I would end my life , being somewhat poetic and all . I went to school that morning and went to all my classes . I thanked each one for being my teacher , most of them grunted , most met my gaze with confusion, only one actually asked me why I was thanking him. I shrugged my shoulders as if it was just out of the kindness of my heart and left at lunch. I used all my allowence, which wasn't much , and treated Val and Sam to lunch at In and Out . We ate and laughed and we all had milkshakes . We all got on the bus and they got off on thier appointed stops . I was left all alone on the bus gazing out of the window and felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I looked to see a text from my mother ,
Get home now ... you have ten minutes .Don't make me call you .I sighed and felt nothing nowadays my heart went cold when it came to my mother and even when I thought of feeling a shred of remorse I was reminded my the old and healing scars placed on my body thanks to her .
I dailed my father's number . When I heard his voicemail I was releaved I didn't know how I would be able to say goodbye to the only parent I would even ever consider.
Hey dad , it's me , I was just calling to say - to tell I love you and hope you had a great day , no a great week .. a great life . Dad just be happy .I hung up, turned off my phone and put it in my pocket . I know my mother would be calling by now asking me where I am . I got off the bus and started walking towards the bridge 20 blocks away . It would give me enough time to gaze out at the sunset and jump off the bridge being the suns gaze the last thing I see . About an hour later , I arrived at the bridge the sun already down but the night just as beautiful . I put my hands on the rusty rail gazed out on the man made channel , even though it was man made it was still beautiful , it still reflected perfectly off the moon . I pulled out my phone and turned it on 12 unread texts and 13 missed calls from my mother . I already had my letters for Sam and Val ready in the drafts of my phone , all I had to do was press send . After I pressed send I put my phone on the safe side of the railing and climbed over.. I looked out again and I felt tears fall from my face , it was the first time I cried because I almost felt at peace . Just as I was about to let go I heard a mans voice behind me screaming he was far enough away to not catch me in time ..
"Stop!!"the man pleaded.
And with that I let both of my arms go at once and was falling forward . Most people fall backwards do they have something pretty to look at ,nope not me. I want to make sure I died -if not from the force but from the unknown garbage at the bottom ensuring my death ...
Its probably weird but I felt closer and closer to release as I got closer to the water . Just as I was about to hit the water I felt a pair of muscular arms grab my body ,pinning me to his chest . He was warm too warm almost burning even his touch felt like home . I tried to turn around and see who was holding me back only to hit the water and felt as it stung my skin ... I purposly breathed in water to make sure I drowned . Then I blacked out, thanking god that my life was finally over and I felt guilty that a man, who probably had good intensions , died with me .
I felt groggy I couldn't open my eyes , well shit don't I get a fucking bright light ! Goddamit if I still alive ,because of that wanna be hero will rue the day he was tried to save me ... Slowly I began to regain my senses and was listening to the things around me . Damnit I'm alive , I heard a heart monitor and a someone moving around in a chair but thats all I could do. I could only hear . I heard a door open a toilet flush then the door close. "How is she ?" .A man said
"I dont know , but she is going to live." The other said .
"Of course she is going to live, do you smell that ?!" The man said excitedly.
"Yea I know she's one of us , but she is just so weak , whats wrong with her ?" He asked
"Maybe she was beaten, look at the scars. " he stated .
