She, Scarlette, could give you a list of reasons defending her decision to end her life. She could go on and on about how it isn't fair that her foster family is looked down upon by the community, all because her brother is gay. She could tell you how hard it is to focus in school because of the bullies. She could tell you how much she feels like a burden to her foster family. She could walk right off the edge of her high school's roof, too.
But she can't.
From his house across the street, high-school drop out Gerard sees her on top of the school. He races over to her, and gives her an ultimatum: step away from the edge, or he'll jump after. How could she be responsible for his death? All he asks for is all of Spring Break, two weeks, to convince her that the world isn't better off without her. That there are so many things for her to live for. As she agrees not to end her life that night and to give him two weeks, she truly begins to live. Even when she's put to the ultimate test.

What I Do For A Living (MCR Fanfic)
It’s all but a white cloth separating the 2 friends, as one lays on a cold, metal table. And the other friend- alive, standing in dread, still shaken by all the stuff he had to undergo. Although, deep down, he knows that this is really how life works; you live, you breathe, you die. But he is very certain that the last part wasn’t supposed to happen to his best friend today, of all days, and of all ways. It could’ve been many years later, and it could've been because of old age. Not on his birthday, and not a suicide. -- Gerard Way wasn't the shiniest example of smart human evolution when he accepted the job as the Suicide Department Head, but he didn't have a lot of choices (well, he did, but it was death). The job was fairly easy- fetch souls. He had two supernatural bosses, a supernatural secret, and a supernatural job. But everything has a loop hole. Gerard found his when he had to kill someone. WARNING: definitely contains matured (no smut) content, but if you liked the band, that wouldn't be an issue.Complete
