TW: mentions of abuse, alcoholism, and suicide

~

Grian stood on the rooftop holding his shoes in one of his hands and the other was balled into a fist.

"Just as I was about to take my shoes, off on the rooftop there I see..."

Taurtis stood on the ledge of the roof with roses in his hand and was hanging onto the railings. He didn't seem to be upset, more relieved. That was until he turned his head to see Grian standing there.

"A boy with Raven hair here before me, despite myself I go and scream" 

"Taurtis wait!" Grian screamed. 

"Hey, don't do it please" 

~

"Whoa wait a minute, what did I just say? I couldn't care less either way!"

Grian crossed his arms as he looked down at the tile. 

"And to be honest I was somewhat pissed, this was an opportunity missed!"

Taurtis looked at Grian for a second with shame now in his eyes as he opened his mouth to speak.

"the boy with raven hair told me his woes"

"You probably heard it all before," Taurtis chuckled as he looked down to the ledge. Where he could escape his thoughts and be safe

"I really thought that she might be the one..." Taurtis was holding hands with Salex before taking her home and wishing her goodnight.

"But they told me, she was gone" Taurtis teared up as he remembered how he held the corpse of his late girlfriend and Paul Blart had to yank him off of her. Hearing Taurtis' story made Grian snap at Taurtis. 

"For God sake, please! Are you serious? I just can't believe! That for some stupid reason you got here before me!" Grian yelled at Taurtis with annoyance that this is why he thinks he should end it.

"Are you upset 'cause you can't have what you wanted?!" Taurtis looked down and realized that Salex wouldn't want to see him like this, but he wouldn't budge. Which caused Grian's eye to twitch and yell a comment that made Taurtis snap out of it and back away from the ledge.

"You're lucky that you've never gotten robbed of anything!" Grian remembered how he never did get his father's love and he lost seeing his mother happy. Now she gets by from drinking her worries away. Now he lost his sanity to someone he called a friend. Taurtis looked at him in pity before placing his hand on Grian's shoulder. 

"I'm feeling better! Thank you for listening" Grian looked up to see Taurtis give a faint smile before he walked away. Leaving Grian to just stand there.

"The boy with raven hair then disappeared"

~

" 'Alright, today's the day'! or so I thought, just as I took both of my shoes off" Grian scowled as he looked to see Pepe on the other side of the ledge sitting there, getting ready to jump.

"there was but a frog, sad as can be. Despite myself, I go and scream" Grian yelled something inaudible to get Pepe's attention. He looked away for a second before turning his head and Grian sitting behind the frogman. The bars separating their backs.

"the petite frog told me his woes"

"You've probably heard it all before" Pepe looked down and kicked his feet constantly.

"Everyone ignores me, everyone steals" Pepe's voice shook as he told him about constantly getting bullied and constantly being abused by others including Pete. He teared up at the last part.

"I don't fit in with anyone here"

"For God sake, please! Are you serious?! I just can't believe! That for some stupid reason, you got here before me!" Grian raised his voice at Pepe and grimaced. Pepe couldn't see it but he could feel it.

"Cause, even so?! You're still loved by everyone at home! There's always dinner waiting on the table you know?!" Grian growled and looked down. He was 7 when he and his little brother had to hide behind one of the maids and the butler because both of his parents, drunken and bitter, were screaming and belittling one another. His father hardly knew he had children and his mother was too intoxicated to see that they were scared for her.

Pepe lifted his hand up and asked for help off the ledge. He didn't stop looking down and put his hands into his torn pockets.

" 'I'm hungry' Said the frog, he shed a tear." Pepe looked up and grabbed a picture of him and Patty together. He gave a faint smile and waved slightly before walking away.

"The frog sad as can be then disappeared"

~

"And like that, there was someone every day!" Grian stiffed his hands into his pockets as he lost count on why he was still here because he had to stop someone else.

"Id listen to their tale" from Sookie and Soul because Soul's parents wouldn't accept her girlfriend, To J stating that he missed his and he didn't want their inheritance if it meant that they would still be gone.

"I'd made them turn away" Sookie and Soul had hugged him and they had planned to run away if they wouldn't accept Soul for who she is. J smiled and stated that he would be in his favor if he ever needed him.

"And yet there was no one who. Would do this for me the way I could," Grian felt numb to all the gifts and praise that was given to him during these times. He saved others, yet nobody would save him. Not from this but from anything.

"Let out all this pain!"

~

"For the very first time, there I see. Someone with the same pains as me..."

Grian gasped to see Dom standing on the ledge. He just looked out in the distance with a calmed expression. His clothing was slightly ripped but he had a purple coat and a black rock shirt with a couple of holes here and there.

"Having done this time and time again. He wore a purple hat instead"

" 'I Just want to stop the scars that grow, every time that I go home' " Dom shrugged and chuckled while Grian stood in shock. Everyone knew that Dom had a bad relationship with his father but to that degree? Throughout the entire fights, they have His dad would backhand him and Dom wouldn't do anything. Due to his rage, however, Mr. Dorito was able to flip the script and say that Dom hurts him.

" 'That's why I came up here instead!' That's what the boy in the purple hat said" 

"Whoa wait a minute what did I just say? I couldn't care less either way! Grian covered his mouth and looked away with tears in his eyes. Trying to convince himself that it will just happen all over again.

"but at the moment I just screamed, something that I did not believe" 

"DOM!"

"Hey, don't do it please..."

"AH What to do?! I can't stop this guy, oh this is new! For once I think I've bitten off more than I can chew" Grian curled up into a ball on the tile and tears poured down his face. He gripped his hair in frustration and grievance. 

" 'But even so! Please just go away so I can't see!' " Grian yelled at Dom and begged for all of this to end, that he didn't have to go through this endless cycle of helping people who won't help him. He wants the cycle to end but Dom to be alive. 

" 'Your pitiful expression is just too much for me!' " He sobbed only for Dom to get down on his knee and hug him. They had each other's backs as kids and they shared knowledge of the street life. Grian drifted apart but Dom held no grudges. 

"I guess today is just not my day" Dom chuckled while he cried as well before getting up and picking Grian up with him. 

"he looked away from me then he disappeared"

~

from a glance, Grian's life seemed better. He had a loving boyfriend, Caring friends, and he didn't worry about his family often. The empty feeling still grew until he stood back onto the roof. 

"there's no one here, I guess its time," 

"Its just me, myself and I,"

"Theres no one who can interfere, no one to get in my way here!" he took off his shoes and stood near the ledge and gave a faint smile.

"Taking off my purple hat instead" he had placed his note next to a faint memory of Dom's hat.

"Watching my raven hair come undone" he shook his "raven hair" out of place.

"This petite frog sad as can be..." He had gotten closer to leaving this Earth and all his troubles.

"Is going to jump now and be free!"

He was still here. He was still alive. Grian looked up to see Taurtis holding his waist tight and Dom looking at him with worry and tears from his eyes. Grian looked at them before tearing up as well.
