The Jump

•Chapter 1: The Bridge•

*Aria's POV*
I stared down into the water. Thinking of my fate that was awaiting me. People walked past me, but they didn't notice me standing there. I slowly put my hands on the rails, preparing my mind for the jump I was going to take. The jump that would save me from this cruel world that carries many false opportunities and false smiles. My grip on the rails became tighter as tears started flowing down my face as memories flow through my head.

*Flashback to a couple days ago*
"Hey Beth!" I called out to her, making her turn around and give me a death glare, "Beth, W-What's wrong?" I started to shake.
"Can you just leave me alone for once?! Honestly I can't deal with your crap anymore, just because you have issues it doesn't mean you're special!" She screamed at me like I had killed everything and everyone she loved. My mind went blank, my heart was racing, I didn't know how to feel. She was my best friend, I told her everything, I told her about my anxiety, I told her about my depression, I told her about my life story and my family because I trusted her. She stormed off, her steps were slower in my mind than what they actually were in reality. Those footsteps were what began my misery.

*Back to the bridge*
The bullying had become worse. It dragged me to the rails of the bridge closest to the school. Staring at the waves thinking of the perfect time to jump and get this over with. I slowly threw myself over the bar, once my hands left the rail, regret filled my mind, a movie of my life story appeared in my vision. Everything I went through played in front of my eyes. My father and his actions, my mother and her death, my sister and everything she suffered until she wandered into the light. Their eyes all appeared in my mind, their mental scars reflected in their eyes, showing the damage. I will never see their precious faces ever again. I hit the water, sinking slowly and running out of air. My vision began to fade as I accepted my fate.

I woke up to two pairs of eyes that kept looking at me then back to each other. One noticed my eyes opening and told the other person and started to talk to me.
"Hey are you ok? What happened to you?" The guy said, trying to communicate with me. I was silent as I was still confused. Am I dead? I thought to myself.
"Can you speak?" The girl also tried to talk to me. I didn't want to speak. I didn't feel well enough to speak.
"It doesn't matter if she can speak or not we just need to get her inside, she's probably cold!" The guy spoke. I felt my vision fading again, the last thing I heard was their words but they sounded like gibberish, making it difficult for me to understand.

My thoughts were still running as I was blacked out. I was still unsure of my situation, I think I'm alive. I didn't know what was happening and I didn't understand how I could be alive. I didn't know how to feel, all I had to do was wait and see where everything takes me.
