Here I am, standing at the edge of the roof...
Waiting for the right time to do it...
I can feel the raindrops on my face. This somewhat helps me to release my emotions, at least I won't be crying alone.
The rain is usually described as something dark and depressing but I just couldn't agree with that because the rain makes me feel less lonely.
I hate living, I just want to end it all. Who would actually care if I was to be dead? I have no one but myself. My sister, she is amazing I don't want to leave her here in this world all by herself.
Anytime soon would be good. I think to myself. I really need to do this today, but what's gonna happen to my sister? All these thoughts... These thoughts have been stopping me for months. But today is the day I do it.
"Ummm, hey. It's not safe to be that close to the edge!"
Says the boy who I don’t know nor have seen before. Mind you, I'm fourteen and have no friends.
"What? I can't hear you," I say sarcastically.
"Well come closer then," he says in a trusting tone.
I don't know why but I think I can trust him. He seems like a good person.
So, I walk towards him, and he smiles as I do so.
The last I remember is walking to him. I assume that I then started to cry because he was hugging me and telling me that it was going to be all right. Also, my eyes were hurting and they were red and puffy.
"My name is Luke. What is your name?" Luke asks so politely.
Today, it was raining, and I was wondering why he was up on the roof.
"My name is Tobias," I say through the tears.
"Nice to meet you, Tobias." Luke pulls me in closer to keep me warm...
I am crying a lot harder now. I wish I could have stopped right there, but, nope, this amazing,
cute looking young man came and saved me from jumping off this building. At least now I know that I'll have someone in my life other than my sister and my huge collection of stuffed bears.
"Tobias, why are you up here?" Luke tilts his head to the side while saying this.
"I don't know. I think I was gonna jump, but now I can't think straight." I finish what I was saying before I faint...
I wake up to him. He stayed with me. I look down at my hand and I start to feel my face heat up.
Ever since that day. I have been in love with Lucas Thompson.
