Save Me

Next Step

A/N I never planned on publishing this but here goes.

"I'm going to DH. Please tell me where you are and what you're doing right now."
"M-my name is d-dan.. d-d-daniel h. im at my house obviously".
"Okay Daniel. Where's your house?" I tried to ignore his stutter; even if it was adorable.
"if I tell you you'll send someone and they'll take me away! I-I can't do that! Not again."
"Again? Okay Daniel, I want you to listen to me closely... what are you doing right now?"
"I-I'm on a chair.. with a rope around my neck."
"Okay Daniel, remove the rope and get off the chair."
"I could just... jump off the chair."
"Why would you want to do that?"
"its easy when you have nothing you need to keep going for."
"How about family? Friends? Your future?"
"they hate me. my future has nothing worth going for.."
"Daniel how old are you?"
"18."
"Please get off. You're young."
"How old are you?"
"22."
There was that unbearable silence again, and I heard a thump from the other line.
"Danielll?"
....
"Daniel?!"
"DAN!"
"DAN?! STAY PUT OKAY IM SENDING SOMEONE!"
"calm down phil."
"Dan?!"
"I'm getting off the chair."
"Safely?"
"does this sound safe?"
Suddenly I heard his breath hitch and a sudden sound of swinging rope caused my heart to beat 10 times faster.
"DANIEL?! DAN?!" I practically cried into the phone,
"Daniel can you hear me? I'm sending someone over!" I remembered how important it was for me to remain calm.
"y-you." I heard a grunt.
"Dan?"
"p-phil. i dont want this!" he was struggling out and I heard the rope swinging from side to side.
"It's okay Daniel. Where are you?"
He spat out his address, he sounded out of breathe and struggling to keep up with the world around him.
