Thoughts of Suicide
Attempted suicide (I think)
----------------------------------

George's pov

Me and Georgia had just ran out the house when we had a bottle thrown at our head. We had no idea where to go so we just kept running untill we stumbled upon a woods.

We ran and ran untill we found a cliff side with a beautiful view. The birds were flying in the sky and the sun was setting. My eyes shone brightly in the crisp evening air. We sat wondered at the sight in front of us.

After a while, I decided to speak up.

"Hey Georgia?" she hummed in recognition,"Woukd it actually hurt anyone if I just jumped? I've had this thought playing through my mind like a broken record player since we got here."

"Georgie. Suicide is not the answer to your problems. You have a full life ahead of you. You don't need to end it all here because of one man." She explained. I nodded in recognition.

In a trance, I stood up and slowly walked over to the edge of the cliff, looking at what could be my impending doom. I was almost about to jump when Georgia defensively rapped her arms around me whilst crying.

I showed no expression on my face. I didn't know what to feel. Mixed emotions stirred in my stomach. Why did she stop me? I could have ended all of the pain I had ever felt just by jumping. Why did she save me like that?

After a while, me and Georgia decided to explore the forests and not too far away from where we were, we found an abandoned shack/ house thing. It looked old and uncared for but we decided it would be out second home.

We opened the creaky door and turned on the light (which was surprisingly still working). We cleaned up all the old things and dusted around. The shack had a few small cupboards, a sofa and a bed so it was comfy enough for me and Georgia.

That night, we found some berries around our 'new home' and ate them for dinner whist talking about anything random that came to mind.

After we had eaten, me and Georgia decided that I would take the bed and she would take the couch. I insisted that she take the bed but she refused and took the sofa.

It was long after Georgia had fallen to sleep but i was still wide awake, tossing and turning in the bed.

My mind kept racing back to the thought that I could go and jump off the cliff and it hurt nobody. I hated life anyway and Dad was not making it easy to resist.

I quietly clambered out of bed and walked out the creaky door, trying to close it quietly as to not wake Georgia ( failing miserably). I quietly walked to the Cliffside, occasionally getting scared of myself stepping on a twig.

I sat by the edge just staring at the full moon and stars. I admired the bright lights as the shone lightyears away. They always reminded me that even if your far from your goal, you can still succeed. It made me realise that ending life was not the solution to my problems.

I laid on my back and stared at the beautiful lights, shining like a bunch of LEDs in a dark room.

At that moment, the world felt at peace. It finally felt like I belonged.
