"Hey!" I heard the stranger scream. Deaf to his attempt and anything else, I let myself fall off the edge, preparing myself for the impact and hopefully my death. I soon broke the surface of the crisp, blue with a harsh sting. Falling further, I felt the cold and depth of the water that once beckoned me inside of it. It was eerie yet calm at the same time. How could I be so nonchalant about this? I mean, I was about to take away my only life and I all I could feel is guilt. I felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around my waist and snatch me out of the water. Breaking the surface once again with a sharp intake of breath, I let the pierced and tattooed man drag me onto the sand.

"What the fuck is your problem?!' I shouted at the man. He seemed generally worried about me, for reasons I didn't understand.

"Pardon me, Miss, but it looked like you were trying to kill yourself!" he replied in a voice that read too much concern.

"Well if I was, why would you care? I don't know you, you don't know me." I spat as I stared him deep in the eyes.

"Because I believe everyone has the right to live, no matter how much shit they've been through. You have a purpose, and I have one as well. You don't need to take away your life like this. Look, I don't know what it is about you, but I want to help you. A woman as beautiful as you has no right to be alone in this world." he answered, leaving me shocked.

"I uh--I'm Chloe. Thank you for saving me, I suppose."

He let out a small chuckle before replying, "I'm Brian. Nice to meet you."
A small part of me was upset that I was rescued, but the majority of myself was thankful. It reassured me that someone cared, someone genuinely cared.

"Well where do you live, if I may ask? I just want to take you home and get some food and fresh clothes." Brian asked me, attempting to break the long and awkward silence.

"I don't really have a home. I have nothing, no one." I silently answered as I sunk my face to the ground.
All I could pray was that he didn't ask me any questions. I just didn't want to replay those thoughts.
He let out a small, sympathetic sigh.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house. Don't worry, everything will be okay. I promise." Brian reassured me.


I knew I shouldn't have said yes, but what in the hell did I have to lose?

Notes

Sorry if it's pretty crappy. I had to find my direction I wanted to go in, plus the fact that my laptop is shit. Chapter 3 will be up pretty soon!
