Save Me

The world below his feet whirled by in deafening silence as he stared down. The lights of cars blinding him as he peered over the ledge he barely stood upon. He felt nauseated from the height but suffocated in life. He didn't think he could go through with this before he stepped up onto the ledge of that roof, but his life was slowly crumbling out from under him.

He'd managed to pick himself back up when he lost his job. He'd managed to pull himself together when 4 of his friends were killed in that tragic car accident. He could lose a fifth friend from the injuries he sustained in that accident and he couldn't bare losing his soulmate. Jimin had been there for him since their childhood and he honestly considered him a lifeline when things got too hard. Now though. Now he was going to lose all that and he couldn't comprehend why such horrible things would only happen to him.

He felt the wind across his face as tears trickled from his eyes. He clutched his chest and doubled over, unleashing the cry within him that threatened his life. He felt hopeless and utterly useless as he continued to break down, allowing his cries of bitterness to fill the silence around him. The sounds that escaped him were that of someone who'd finally lost all hope in life. Someone ready to end it all.

He finally silenced his own cries, sniffling audibly as he straightened back up. He wiped his eyes and face of any remaining tears. He wanted the people below to know that this was what he wanted. He didn't want to be without his friends or his best friend. He didn't know how he could possibly continue without Jimin, even if he hadn't lost him yet. He was certain he'd lose Jimin too with the way things had been going in his life so far.

He stepped even closer to the edge, hesitantly peering over as he felt a wave of vertigo hit him. The drop alone would kill him if he didn't have a heart attack first. He sucked in a deep breath and closed his eyes, but before he could walk over the edge, he heard someone call out to him. He froze almost instantly and glanced behind him to see someone running in his direction. "Wait! Don't do this," the person cried out, finally reaching him as the other inched away. "What do you want? You have nothing to do with this! You should have minded your own business," the other lashed out, gripping the wire fence against his back.

The other male heaved a massive breath as he stared up at the other that was ready to throw his life away. "You made it my business when I could hear you from down below," the intruder barked out, pleading for the other to reconsider with his eyes. "I don't know what's going on in your life, but you don't have to do this. I'll listen if you need someone to talk to," the male added softly, trying to coax the other back over the chain-link fence to safety.

The other glanced over at him, sniffling as he wiped his eyes but remained motionless otherwise. "Why do you care?" He asked briskly, still trying to offend the stranger and get him to leave. He wasn't going to reconsider his decision until he made the mistake of looking into the stranger's warm and magnetic eyes. "I don't want to see more death in the world. There's enough of that without people killing themselves. You may feel like there's not a lot to live for right now, but you don't know what the future holds. Please, I'm begging you. Reconsider this decision and take my hand," the other offered, holding his hand through the fencing.

The other stared at his inviting hand, contemplating taking it. Although, his thoughts were still far too jumbled for him to make a sound decision. What if he regretted taking this guy's hand later? What would he do then? He didn't think he'd have the strength or the stomach to attempt this again if he did regret his decision. "Why should I trust you? You don't know me and I don't know you! Why are you trying so hard?!" the male cried out, gripping the sides of his head in frustration and confusion. He honestly had no idea what he should do.
