My body was shaking with adrenaline. Oh god. Start. Please start. I jiggled the keys furiously, willing the car to move. It didn't budge. "Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!" I muttered to myself as I saw the approaching train. This was not the time or place for my car to break down. Of all places the place where my old beat up Chevy could die, it chose a train stop. Seriously! The rain was pouring down all around and the drops hitting the metal of the car was deafening. I could barely hear myself think, and the only noise that was audible was the horn of the train sounding off at full blast trying to alert me. The train was getting closer. It was pitch black outside, and the lights of the train were getting awfully close. Real fear started to set in. My hands refused to stay still; they continued to shake as I tried the ignition again, and again. The keys slipped through my sweaty fingers and were lost to the floor. The train was too close now. No way could it stop. If I stopped to breath, I would be able to see all the rivets and bolts that made the train, perfectly. "Come on!" I screamed. There was no reply. There wasn’t enough time to get out of the car. I looked one last time at the train as it barrelled toward me, only a couple yards away. I screamed as loud as I could, unable to move. My body braced for the impact of the train that was surely going to kill me.

She wanted to die. He wanted to live. ••• A hand grabbed onto my wrist, yanking me back just as the train rushed past, before I'd even had time to comprehend whether or not I'd carry out the action. I stumbled back into the person's chest, my heart jumping out as I swivelled around, startled to find myself staring into piercing dark brown eyes. "Were you going to jump?!" "No," I drawled out sarcastically, ignoring the intensity of his eyes as they bore into my own, "I just stand on the edge of train platforms at midnight because I feel like it." Seeing the stranger tense, I stepped away from the edge, feeling his hand let go of mine as I picked up my bag before moving to sit down on one of the platform benches. Letting out an evident sigh of relief, he sat down after tentative movements towards me, and I could feel his intense gaze raking across my features. His eyes never left me, I was sure of it, with every step both he and I had taken. "Are you okay?" He had asked warily, apparent apprehension in his deep voice while he spoke, "Do you want to talk about it?" "What's there to talk about?" I threw his question back at him, watching him study me for a few critical moments before his potent gaze switched to our surroundings. "I did just watch you nearly kill yourself; that might be a place to start?" ••• She didn't expect for a complete stranger to stop her milliseconds away from committing suicide. She didn't expect him to be so kindhearted and patient. He didn't expect to stop her from jumping in front of a train the first time they met. He didn't expect to find himself falling for the one girl he knew he shouldn't. [Word Count: 180,000 - 200,000]
