Broken Love

Chapter 1: The Encounter

The bell rings signaling the end of another depressing school day. I start walking to the roof of the school and I think to myself that today is the day that I'll end it all, I'm done living this sad, and lonely life. I realized that if I died no one would truly care, my parents never loved me because I was an accidental, and unwanted pregnancy. My dad would always fight with my mom because he didn't want a child, just the sex. After they fought he would blame it all on me, claiming it's my fault they fight. They won't have to fight much longer because they won't have a child to look after. I tried to make friends so I could have someone to talk to, someone to care about me, but none of the people around me cared, they would all ignore me. The only time they would talk to me is when they wanted to harass, and bully me to make themselves feel better. When I get to the roof I walk to the edge, I stop and stand there. I breath in the fresh air, and tell myself that it'll all be over soon, all I have to do is jump. I stand there for a while trying to convince myself that there are no other options left. It took me about halve an hour to finally convince myself to do it. I start to lean forward but I'm suddenly stopped just before I fall, I turn my head to see who stopped me and I see a beautiful girl. I thought to myself why did she stop me? I deserve to die because all I do is cause pain, and suffering to those around me. I started to cry, and all I could manage to say was "why?" She smiled warmly and hugged me tightly. She whispers softly in my ear saying that "I stopped you because I know how you feel, I know the pain, and suffering that is so bad it makes you want to kill yourself." She also feels lonely, and hates herself, which is why she stopped me. She tells me that "even if it seems selfish the other reason I didn't want you to die is I wanted to talk to Someone who will actually listen to me, and understand how I feel." When I look at her again she's tearing up, yet she still has a smile. it hurts my heart to see such a beautiful face covered in tears. I ask her why she came up here. Her smile suddenly fades. "I came up here for the same reason you did." She wanted to kill herself. "I come up here everyday after school and think about it, hoping that eventually I will push myself to do it." Her words surprise me, I think to myself how could someone so beautiful, and kind hearted enough to not let me die hate herself so much? "I don't know what to say." She shushes me and says "its alright, I'm here for you, take as much time as you need because if you need me to I can keep hugging you all day." Her words give me a strange feeling in my heart, is this what its like to be happy? "I think that for once in my life I feel happy." She smiles again and says "I haven't felt that so i don't know for sure, but i think that I feel it too!" I look into her beautiful dark blue eyes, they remind me of the beauty of an ocean. "so I guess we are friends then?" I can tell from her voice that she's very happy when she says "yeah I guess so!" I laugh a little and tell her "you can stop hugging me now" she let's go and tells me "I've never really had any friends so I might be bad at being one." I smile and say "that's okay, I haven't either so I'll probably be just as bad." We both laugh together, she looks at her watch and suddenly her smile fades to a frown. I ask her "Whats wrong?" Because I want to make sure she's alright. She starts to leave and says to me before she goes "I'm sorry but I really do have to go, it was fun meeting you, and getting to know you, want to meet up here again tomorrow?" I nod my head and agree, then she runs back downstairs and before I know it she's out the front doors of the school. I decide to stay on the roof for a little longer and enjoy the breeze, and view. I come to the sudden realization that I just made a friend and it shocks me, I didn't think that was possible for someone like me. Suddenly my day went from really plain, boring, and sad to the happiest day of my life! I have to come back up here tomorrow, I don't want to lose her, I have to make a good impression. I decided to start heading home and as I was looking around I noticed the beauty of the local park for once. To the Right there was a bunch of beautiful green trees surrounding a pond of dark blue water covered with moss, and cat tails. The various different flowers added lots of color to the park. I also noticed some ducks on the water. All these things combined create a beautiful, calm, and peaceful environment. I think to myself that maybe I should visit there more often. Suddenly I get an amazing idea, what if I take my new friend to the park! Then I realize that that's a bit selfish of me, I don't even know if she likes the park yet. I decide to take the alley way as a short cut to my house, but just before I make it out of the alley way I get jumped.
