My Only Exception

Chapter 1

Today was the last day of school. While everyone other teen in my school went out partying and getting drunk and "having fun" I decided to go to the park and relax. After about 15 minuts of laying down by a tree listening to music, I decided to go by the rail at the end of the park. You could always feel the wind when you were leaning on the rail. To me it felt so good, and it was always what i did when I was stressed or afraid or if my depression was worstening, which was pretty much every day.

"Hey, What are you doing up there?!" I hear a voice call behind me as I climbe over the rail that puts a border between the park and the beach.

"Nothing!" I scream back. "Im just looking at something"

"What the hell could be so imporrtant to look at, that you would risk breaking your neck for?!" The voice calls back. I could sense frustration by the tone

"Whats it to you?, you dont even know me!" Iscream back, now completly over the rail

"Look, you need to get down! I may not know you, but i know that what your doing right now is pretty danm stupid"

"Look, why are you so worried about someone you do-" An arm is quickly drawn around me, pulling me over the rail and tossing me onto the grass . I look up to see a tall boy standing up infront of me,

"Oh wow. thanks mr. hero for throwing me onto the fucking grass" I say while getting up rubbing my wrist

"its a hell of alot better than what would have happend to you if you had moved any closer off the Edge"

"I wasnt going to do it actually" i say a little more calm

"do what"

"what you thought i was going to do, i wasnt going to jump off, i just wanted to know what it feels like to be up that high, just to see if im afraid of falling and anyways i would have only landed in sand"

"yea well, you could have still hurt yourself "

"well, I have to get somewhere, soo bye" i say starting to head towards the other side of the park

"No you dont. I know because you werent rushing when you were up there" His hand grabs mine yanking me back towards him

"Well if im being honest, i really just dont want to stand here with a stranger, i could be doing other stuff" I say snatching my arm and walking away

"So were are you going then" He ask while beggining to jog up to me

"HOME!" I scream.

"Oh okay. well then let me walk you. Its almost midnight and a pretty girl like yourself might not want to be walking the streets alone, you know there are rapist out at night?"

"Oh and how do I know your not one?"

"Do I look like one?" He says pointing to his outfit

"What the hell does a rapist look like? I really dont believe there is an exact look that lets people know your a rapist!" I say sorta giggling from the dumb conversation were having

"My name is Louis by the way" he says looking in my eyes

"Angela" I say while looking ahead and continuing to walk

We arrived at my house after a 40 minut walk. In those 40 minuts I had told Louis more secrets than I had ever told anyone, even my best freind. I honestly dont know what compelled me to do it, to tell a stranger all these things about me. But im sorta glad i did.
