Christmas Lights and Dangerous Heights
As the blissful moment passed another feeling came, my self conscious.
It was screaming in my ears, saying that I'm not good enough and that he doesn't love me.
That he was just doing it because he had to.
I quickly pulled away, leaving a confused looking Shane staring at me.
He extended a hand towards me, I quickly backed away.
Turning on my heel I ran up the stairs, tears starting to stream down my face, I knew he would never like me.
My feet were numb as they ran as fast as they could, only stopping to slam my door and fall on my bed.
My sobs filling the room, I'm nothing but a screw up.
---(Shane's POV)----
My whole body froze up as I watched Molly run up the stairs crying.
I shouldn't have kissed her, she probably hates me....just like everyone else.
My mom died because of me (she didn't, its just his dads words corrupting him), my dad hates me because I'm a screw up, and now Molly hates me.
She was all I had left, and now she's gone, my only ray of sunshine in this sick twisted world that has tooken everyone I love.
I can't do this anymore, you win world....I give up.
The blood in my veins ran cold as my mind slowly drifted into depression.
Everything around me was silent and blurry, the sound of my broken heart beating in my ears.
So this is what it feels like to be dead on the inside, cold and alone with no one to pull you out.
A warm hand was placed on my shoulder, Jace was standing in front of me with Kass beside him.
His mouth moved but I couldn't hear, I didn't want to.
With one push I shoved him out of the way, trudging up to my room, head hung low and my heart slowly beating.
Something pierced through the silence, it broke my heart even more to hear.
Right beside my room, the sounds of quiet sobbing was heard, Molly's sobs.
My chest hurt, tears threatening to spill.
I only cried once and that was when my mother died, but this felt worse, I felt broken.
Quickly I ran in my room, picking up a notepad and paper.
Scribbling a good-bye note through blurry vision, a tear splatting against the paper as the pen stopped, sealing my fate.
There was no going back now, and no one was going to stop me.
I slipped it under the door to the bathroom, Molly's sobs growing more unbearable.
My feet bolted towards the door as I slammed it open, flying down the steps and out the front door, tears streaming down my face and the sounds of voices yelling behind me, Jace and Kass.
I knew exactly where I was going, it was only a few blocks from here, the town's bridge, commonly called 'Death drop' since so many people have jumped from it.
Guess I'll just be another one on the news, talked about for a day then forgotten.
Snow was still falling, my feet crunching on top of the now six inch coat.
The bridge came into view, red paint glistening under the Christmas lights wrapped around the rail.
Snow was gathered on top, making it seem beautiful, to bad I couldn't enjoy it.
Finally my feet pounded against asphalt, no cars were driving by, due to the winter storm warning in affect.
My feet stopped, breaths coming in greedy gasps as I walked towards the edge.
My hands wrapped around the cold rail, looking over the edge to see the dangerous drop, water still flowing over the sharp rocks below.
At least if the drop didn't kill me I would die of hypothermia.
One leg swung over the rail landing on the other side, which was only four inches wide.
The other came over soon after, my hands clung to the rail behind me as the toes of my sneakers hung over the edge.
All was quiet, the soothing sound of running water below and crickets chirping.
My brown hair blowing in the slight breeze as white snowflakes clung to the brown locks.
"I'll see you soon mom" I whispered.
---(Jace's POV)---
"Shit!!" I yelled, watching Shane run down the road.
This is not good, I have a good idea of where he is going, and we better move fast.
Kass clung to my arm, starting to let out whimpers.
"It's ok" I cooed, but in my head, I knew it wasn't. Time is of the essence, Shane's life depending on it.
If he dies....I don't know what I would do.
He was there when my family disowned me, he's the only family I have left.
"We have to go, now" I said, looking in her wet eyes.
She nodded, sprinting up the stairs to Molly's room.
She's the only one who can fix this.
-----(Molly's POV)-----
I had finally calmed down, sitting under my covers and taking heavy breathes.
I overreacted, my feet swung over the other side of the bed, slipping on my slippers to go explain to Shane.
My thoughts were interrupted by a crying Kass barging in my room.
She clung to me, crying into my shoulder, her tears staining my already wet shirt.
"Shane...h-he's go-gone to t-the bridge" she stuttered, starting to hyperventilate.
My blood ran cold, what have I done.
Without another thought I jumped up and ran down the stairs, running right past Jace and out the door.
Strangely he didn't say anything, just watched me leave as he held Kass.
The snow was now a blizzard, only being able to see a few feet in front of me as it blew by.
My fuzzy slippers crunching in the deep snow as I ran.
Not paying attention that I only had on a tanktop and shorts.
Instead it was on the brunnete, in a short sleeve shirt and jeans, standing on the edge of the bridge.
His brown hair covered in snow as it blew in the breeze and his head hung low.
My heart skipped a beat, he was still alive, but not for long.
He opened his eyes and looked down, slowly leaning forward.
Tears started to stream down my face as I picked up speed, snow blurring by and the cold air nipping at my skin.
He was about to let go, "Shane Stop!!!" I screamed, my sobs filling the air.
---(Shane's POV)---
"I'll see you soon mom" I whispered, leaning forward and letting my fingers loosen on the cold metal rail.
I was hanging on by a few fingers when something stopped me in my tracks.
The voice that I thought I'd never hear again.
Her sobs filled the icy air, my breathing picking up as the little clouds left my mouth.
"Please.......don't leave me" she cried, looking behind me I saw Molly in short shorts, tanktop, and slippers.
I let out a dark chuckle, "I'm sorry" I said, letting my other three fingers slide off, a smile on my face as the cold air took me.
That's when I heard Molly's horrified scream, what have I done?
Is Shane going to die?
