Chapter Nine: Save Me

I stand there alone. The wind picks up and it chills me to the bone. The coldness starts to give me pain. I hear the leaves moving behind me. I don’t really turn to look. Then I hear a footstep. I turn. There she is. She is standing there looking like the angel that could help me. She stares deep in my eyes and sees my pain. She understands why I’m here. She understands what I need to survive. She wants to help me, but knows she can’t. She steps on the ledge with me. She turns and faces me. She leans in and plants her lips on mine. This kiss is amazing. She stops and moves away a bit. We stare for a moment till I decide to speak.

“What was that for?”

“Seem like you need it.”

“I really did.”

“Well I’m glad I could help. Can we leave this ledge?”

“No. It doesn’t change why I’m here.”

“You can’t be all hopeless romantic for one person, there will be others.”

I yell out, “Honestly I don’t care; I don’t want anyone else, Alice, I’m done!”

“Honestly Charlie. A lot of the time, it's when you focus on yourself and STOP looking for someone else that they come It's really weird. But you should focus on yourself. Focus on school. Focus on friends. What makes you happy?”

“You make me happy, and I can’t have you so I’m happy here. Nothing else makes me happy. I dread everyday I’m here alone without you.”

“I wish I could find someone for you but I can't. And I can’t be what you want me to be.” Alice says, tears running down her face.

“I know. But Alice, it’s not your fault. My problem, my life. Just know I love you.” I say it and place my hand on her face. I lean in and kiss her soft lips. I step back.

I turn and jump. I hear Alice’s screams. It gets drown out by the wind passing through my ears. I’m at peace now. I hit the water. I don’t feel pain. My life turns to black. I’m dead.

AHAHHAAHAHAHAHA! SUCH CRUEL WORDS! Sorry..
Great book and a very great chapter.
I think you keep missing some words, and grammar needs some help.
It's okay though, I really enjoy reading this.

NOOOOO!! This almost made me cry...because I've had a guy so in love with me he'd try and kill himself just seeing me talking to another guy so it hits home. It's good though...but...I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S DEAD!!! D':
