^Hero's pov^

"Wait!" I turn around and see the girl that I was staring at earlier and I freeze. I don't know what happens next but all of a sudden she's by my side.

"Don't do what your going to do." She says staring me in the eye.

"Why not, no one would miss me anyway," I tell her and turn back around.

"How do you know that?" She asks me.

"Why are you even trying to help me. I'm not worth anything I don't even matter." I tell her.

"Why would you think that?" She asks me, "You are important and you matter."

"My parents seem to think otherwise. They don't give a shit about me, they just care about how I make them look." I tell her and it hurts because I'm not lying.

^Jo's pov^

"If I told you that I cared would you still do it?" I ask him. I'm trying to stop him in time for me to some how pull him of the wall.

"You don't care though do you? Your just saying that so I don't kill myself. You don't care if I live or die, you just don't want that on your conscience." He says with tears poring down his face and my heart breaks for him.

He doesn't even realise how much it is killing me seeing him this way.

"Please just come down because I can promise you that if you come down from there I will give you a thousand reasons why you should live." I reach my hand out and hope he'll take it.

^Hero's pov^

I'm not sure what to do.

Part of me wants to jump but the other part is telling me to take her hand and never let go.

So I close my eyes take a breath and reach my hand out.

I grip her hand and she pulls me off the wall and pulls me to her. She wraps her arms around me and let's me cry.

She walks over to the grass and sits down. Wrapping her little arms around me again and just holding me while I cry into her chest.

"I can't fucking take it anymore!" I cry.

She whispers in my ear, "It's alright everything will be ok. I promise."

"Please," I whisper, "Don't make promises you can't keep." She doesn't understand and I don't expect her to.

"How about we take our minds off what happened and we play a game of twenty questions?" I'm not sure where this is going but I just nod my head because I do need to get my mind of what just happened.

"Right I'll go first," she pauses for a minute and then continues, "Was that your first attempt?"

"No." I answer her honestly.

"Oh."

"My turn, whats your name?" I ask her realising that I don't even know her name.

"Josephine Langford." She smiles, "Why don't you want to get married?"

"Because I don't even want to be king of England, I want to be normal and have the freedom to do things without worrying about what my parents will say or do, I want to be able to fall in love with someone who's not just there for money, I want someone to love me, Hero not Prince Hero Fiennes Tiffin." I'm not sure I even knew that but now that I've said it I realise it's true, I want to be loved for me and not my title.

I realise it's my turn, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Perth Australia, but I had to leave because my dad couldn't afford to feed both me and my sister, so I left."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's fine but I better be getting back, I was told I could look around but be back in time for supper because I need to help them with it." Josephine says and gets up.

She starts walking away, "Wait Jo, I'll walk with you!"
