"Who are you"? I asked
His eyes stayed steady, watching my every move.
"Darick, my name is Darick." He said.
I ignored the way his pink lips moved in harmony while he spoke. My mind racing, my thoughts cramped in my head.
"What are you," i asked.
"Autumn, I'm not the bad guy," he said softly to me.
He took a small step toward the bridge. The bridge i was standing on top of.
"Don't," i shrieked, almost losing my balance.
This is what i wanted, want. Just to disappear, ease to exist.
"Please Autumn, i can help you."
"No you can't," i cried. "You don't
even know me."
"Yes i do," he said. "And you know me to. Autumn, this isn't your fate. This isn't how it's suppose to be."
His eyes shown his hurt, his confusion, and something alien to me.
"Your right," i said back to him. "This isn't how it's suppose to be."
Before i could think about my final decision, i thought of all the pain and heartache I've ever felt. All the times I've cried, and how i can never be fixed.
I thought about how much of a coward i am, that i let them ruin me.
I guess now the only person that can hurt me, is me.
So, i jumped.
