Crossing Over

Ashlee was coming back from a restaurant late one night, walking across the bridge home. That's when she saw him, looking down into the water, teetering between life or death. He was someone familiar. He was the guy who sat at the back of her Math lectures, the guy she would nod to. She never really realized he was the kind of person who could be driven to something this big, this final. She went over to him, gently touching his back, taking him down from the ledge. She quietly listened to his story, slowly falling in love. She used to have a bad past too, and she hopes to help him cross over onto a better path, to a better life as she had before. But of course, no task like that is easy and comes without obstacles..
