The ground was pulling me towards itself until it wasn’t and I was abruptly stopped and hanging in the mid air with a hand holding mine and pulled me again back up. Another hand held my waist while that one was holding my hand and pulled me towards the rooftop floor again until I landed flat on my back on the hard ground. I noticed my head was on top of something soft and when I looked up I saw that I was lying on top of someone’s arm. I immediately tried to get up but noticed that the person was holding my waist stopping me from getting up. “Thank god you are alright.” The person slowly mumbled. “Let go of me!” I said and got out of that person’s arms. “Hey you should calm down. I wasn’t trying to hurt you or anything” she said softly but I wasn’t ready to listen to her at all. I was mad as hell at her. I was this close to ending it all but she just came out of nowhere and ruined everything. “I think you should sit down as your knee is kind of scraped” she spoke softly. That’s when I felt that sharp pain on my knee and noticed the blood flowing from my jeans. She quickly held my hand and made me sit down on a bench. She rolled up my jeans till my knee, cleaned off the blood and applied some lotion along with a band aid. I kind of flinched as she applied the lotion. “Its done.” She said and rolled down my jeans. “Why did you do it?” I whispered to her. “Hm? You said something?” she asked. “Why did you stop me? You did know right that I was going to end my life?” I asked. She sighed, sat beside me and spoke “I did know that you were going to end your life but I stopped you because I didn’t want it to happen something like this to me again just because of a bit of my ignorance. I know you must be angry at me for doing it but believe me it was for the best of you.” I was lost for words. I didn’t know what to reply to her. I was about to speak again when she interrupted me and spoke again “I know you must have been through a lot of things but don’t just end it here.” She slowly gazed at me and smiled sadly. Her smile made me feel a sort of a weird feeling like a tiny flutter on my chest. I looked away and my face heated up. She stood up and spoke again “do you live in this apartment?”I got startled “huh? Uhh yes…” I mumbled. She came up to the bench again, held my hand and asked “want to go back?” I nodded. We walked down together by holding hands and she dropped me by my home. “Oh you live here?” she asked. “Yep” I mumbled and asked where she lived. She kind of smiled and answered that “next doors to you”. I was confused so she explained that apparently she shifted to the house next door to me today. So we are going to be neighbors I guess.
