A bad jump
****
I sat on my bed and stared at my ceiling. There must be more than this, I'm tired of the same life, going to school being swarmed by people all wanting to be
your new best friend to come up on the popular scale, I just can't handle the fake girls all trying to be nice when really there planning against you, I'm just sick
of it. If there's nothing more than this... well what the hell is the point to it all.
I jumped off my bed and ran to my garage and got in my car and drove to Samek Bridge, once I arrived to the bridge I got out of my car and walked to the
railing and looked down. It was a long way down I had a slim chance of surviving it, and even if I did I knew I was not strong enough to swim against the
current.
I gripped the railing and kicked my leg over it and pushed myself up and brought my other leg over and stood up, here we go...
Jordan Stone's P.O.V
I was talking a long walk to Samek Bridge, it had a beautiful view and I always went there on a Sunday night, call me lame being by myself on a Sunday night
but that's what I do, I never get invited to party's being a geek at school, I'm not saying I didn't have my own friends, I do but I also enjoy being alone
sometimes.
I was turning the corner and saw the bridge, but that's not what I saw first. The first thing I saw was a girl on the railings of it, and not just any girl. It was Hilary
May, the most popular girl at my school, I don't personally know her since we run in different circles, but that does not mean I'm going to let her kill herself.
I slowly came up to her and wondered how I will make my presents known because I'm pretty sure you shouldn't scare somebody who's ready to jump.
"Hilary." I said calmly
She gasped and turned her head. I saw she has been crying because her eyes were swollen, red and her make-up was running.
"Who are you?" she asked with a scared voice
"I'm Jordan, I go to your school, now come down and I'll help you." She laughed sarcastically
"Oh yeah, how are you going to help me, your part of the issue!" she yelled the last part and she started to cry
"Please Hilary, come down and we can fix it, whatever the issue may be."
"You don't understand. Nobody every does..." she trailed off and wiped her tears with her sleeve
"You can come down and we can talk about it, and I'll try to understand."
"You can try all you want nobody ever does and I'm done talking at this point."
She turned back to the lake and bends her legs and jumped.
I ran over so quickly I was able to grab her arm.
"LET GO OF ME I WANT THIS!" she yelled angry at me
"Well I'm not letting you, so you can just forget about it!"
I summoned all my strength and pulled her up as she continued to yell
"Shut the fuck up! I'm not giving up so you can just save your voice."
That seemed to shut her up and I finally pulled her over the railing and we both fell backwards on the ground.
"That. Was. A close. One." I said in between gasps
I looked over and she was already in the fetal position crying. I crawled over to her and I asked if I could do anything, that just made her cry more.
"Is your car here?" I asked and she nodded her head
"Give me your keys." And she did
I picked her up and carried her to her car, which was in the parking lot, wow nice car. I put her in the car and buckled her in, and then went to the other side
and hopped in, I knew where she lived because everyone did, since I always heard about her party's and where they were, I swear I'm not stalking her or
something.
Hilary's P.O.V
I can't believe someone was there, I'm such an idiot I know I'm going to get the shit kicked out of me I bet I'll be hearing about this Monday.
"A-are you g-going too-too tell people?" I stuttered out
He turned his head to me and I thought I saw hurt in his eyes
"Of course not." He answered like it was a stupid question.
I don't know how he knew where I lived but here I was home, what is he stalking me, Is that how he knew where I was tonight? The car stopped and he got
out and came around and opened the door for me.
"Can you get inside by yourself, or do you need me to carry you?" he asked
"I-I can do it myself." I said and came out of the car I walked like I was drunk and he came over to me and put a arm around me and walked me walk inside,
thankfully my parents were gone tonight so they would not ask where I was.
"Thank you." I said quietly
"Don't worry about it." He answered
"So you're not going to ask why I did it?"
"I don't think it's any of my business, and if you want to tell me you would. Now do you want me to stay here with you or leave?"
"I think I'll be fine now."
He walked to the front door and opened it but he stopped at the door frame and turned his head back to me and said
"Oh yea and Hilary, please don't try to hurt yourself again."
Tears spilled down my cheek and all I did was nod my head.
