I walked to the ledge. I could feel my heart sinking, tears brimming in the corners of my eyes.
"Stop! You don't want to do this!" Someone shouted.
I turned and saw a boy from my school and almost laughed at his words.
"What? Kill myself? I'm pretty sure I want to do that. Why else would I be here?" I told him.
"This is a ten storey high building. One missed step and you could fall!" He continued, as if he didn't hear me. "You have so much to live for!" He shouted again.
I had the overwhelming urge to stomp over to where he was standing and slap him in the face.
"My parents took everything from me and told me to study. Don't get me wrong, studying is important, but that's all my life consists of and its making me miserable. Would you want to live an unhappy life? I doubt it. So why should I live mine? If I'm not happy at all?" I finished and felt my heart shatter as I took one last glance at this guys face, before turning to the ledge and taking a step forward.
