You Saved Me - JLS Fanfic

My Darkest Hour

Chloe POV

I looked at my watch .. 3am no one will be around at this time I thought to myself. I hauled myself up from the couch slipping my trainers on before silently slipping out into the cold dark night. I took the short walk through town til I got to the river. I looked back towards the town sighing before climbing on the bridge sitting on it dangling my legs off the edge of it. Let's face it I had nothing to live for anymore I honestly had the worse six months of my life. My fiancé had left me at the alter for some skinny plastic fake b*tch, if that wasn't enough a month later I find out I'm pregnant with his child to which he fails to acknowledge then I have a miscarriage when I was 4 months pregnant then to top it all off I flunked my last year at uni. I thought back to my old life where I was happy, loved and free and then I look at my life now where I'm sad, lonely and depressed. With that I held onto the side of the bridge pulling myself up so I was standing completely on the river side of the bridge. I pulled myself so I was diagonal with my face looking down. I took one last breathe as I went to jump closing my eyes ready for the pain to be over. But it wasn't I opened my eyes as I felt two hands round each of my wrists holding me up and refusing to let go as I struggled to let them slip so I could end my life.

'I'm not letting go you know' a strong voice said sternly but I continued to struggle in his grip what the hell was this guy doing around at 3am for Christ sake and why won't he just leave me be. 'Just relax and let me pull you up there's other ways out of your pain' the stranger said as I sighed knowing that this guy would not leave. This does not mean I am not going to go ahead with it but I guess I'm gonna have to do it at some other time. I stopped wriggling as the tears started to fall silently down my face as he pulled me up. As soon as he lifted me back over the bridge he let go of my wrists as I slumped down into a heap on the cold, wet ground.

Aston POV

We had just finished our video shoot and I was on the way home it was a little after 3am I was just going past the bridge and I saw a figure I began slowing my car down. Who in their right mind would be out alone near a bridge at this time in the morning as I got closer I realised what they were doing SH*T this person was leaning over the edge. I immediately stopped the engine running as fast but as quietly as I could. I wrapped each of my hands round their wrists holding them up I was point blank refusing to let go. I could tell this person was a female but that's about it what was so bad with her life that she felt that it wasn't worth living anymore. She continued to struggle in my grip twisting and turning her wrists but I remained a strong grip on them. 'I'm not letting go you know' I said sternly I needed her to realise that I was not letting go. My arms were beginning to ache after a while so I knew I had to try and persuade her to let me pull her over. 'Just relax and let me pull you up there's other ways out of your pain' I tried to say softly to her but loud enough for her to hear. Eventually I heard her sigh I silently prayed that this would be her giving up thus allowing me to pull her over. She stopped wriggling as I pulled her up over the bridge before letting go of her wrists as she slumped down into a heap on the cold, wet ground. I couldn’t leave her here out in the cold so I grabbed her lifting her up in a fireman’s lift carefully putting her in the car. I honestly felt sorry for her I could hear her sniff indicating that she had was crying. ‘I’m Aston’ I said quietly I felt like I needed to introduce myself as I had every intention of taking her back to my place she could crash in one of my spare rooms tonight I had no idea what was going on in her head but I guessed she didn’t want to go back to where she was living currently. I didn’t get a reply not that I was at all surprised as we drove in silence as I pulled up to my place getting out  helping her out I grabbed some towels saying that she could shower and sleep or whatever she wanted to do. She gave me a half smile telling me her name I just left her to it and told her if she needed me I was in the room opposite hers I figured that she wasn’t in the mood for talking she just needed to be alone. I shut my door pottered around my room before going to bed myself deciding on trying to talk to her in the morning.
