In the morning as I wake up, I see Léo in front of me, still asleep.
He looks cute when he's sleeping now that I think about it.
As I give him a little kiss, he seems to suddenly wake up and happily smiles.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
"H-Huh, oh y-yeah, I slept well"
"Well, I'll make us some breakfast, besides, it's hard for you to move around at the moment since the suicide attempt caused you to fracture your legs"
As I lie in bed and wait for him, he soon comes back into the room with some breakfast for me.
"Here you go, hopefully you like it."
He smiles as he sits down next to me, helping me eat.
It doesn't take long until he finishes and when he goes to clean the dishes, I let out a sigh and lie down.
As he comes back up to see me, he softly runs his hand through my hair and smiles.
"How about we go for a walk, I'll help you walk on crutches as well"
"A-A walk, I-I'd rather stay inside"
"Come on now, don't be shy, I want to show you something"
As he helps me out of the bed, he also helps me walk on the crutches until I get used to it.
"Come on now, let's go to the park and enjoy a leisurely walk"
"B-But, won't there be people there?"
"Well, yeah, it's a park, but you need to get out there some"
Just the thought of people assaults my mind with that night.
I quickly drop down to the ground, crying, screaming, and flailing my hands.
I could feel those hands touching me, I can hardly take it.
I couldn't hear or see Léo either, all my eyes would let me see is the grin on those peoples faces, all I could hear was their laughter as well.
I couldn't scream for help, I couldn't move either, it felt as if I wasn't in my own body.
Eventually, everything went black, I couldn't feel myself moving either.
I eventually was able to open my eyes again and move around again.
"Oh thank God, your awake, I didn't expect you to have such a violent reaction, you don't have a history of seizures or anything?"
"S-Seizures, n-no, not that I'm aware of?"
As Léo looks down at me, I can feel myself slowly becoming upset when I see Léo shed a tear.
"Sorry for trying to get you to go outside, if I knew you'd have had a violent reaction like you did, I wouldn't have suggested it"
As I bring him close to me, I wipe away his tears, trying to smile softly.
"P-Please don't cry, it'll m-make me cry"
He nods and smiles while hugging me, I'm about surprised at first but the hug, but I soon accept the hug, smiling as well.
"L-Léo, can I ask you something?"
"Huh, what is it?"
"W-Why did you s-save me, w-why didn't you let me die?"
"Because, there's a lot of things in this world that are worth living for, now then, about going outside, what if we tried somewhere that only has a little bit of people?"
"I-I c-can try"
As the rest of the day passed, I either slept or spent time with Léo, but once it was nighttime, we went to the park when there wasn't any people around.
However though, while we're enjoying the night, we hear a girl screaming.
The moment I heard gunshots though, I stiffened up instantly, but the moment we hear more gunshots, the moment we see a female weakly walking up to us, bleeding heavily, I freaked out, I couldn't take it.
I drop to the ground, I wasn't in control of myself, the last thing I could hear before flashbacks of that night came back to me was Léo screaming my name.
Why, why me, why was I the one who had to suffer?
Why was I the one who had to have my parents killed?
Why was I the one who had to experience those people doing awful things to me?
I could hardly take it anymore at this point.
Yet as I saw a knife in front of me, I thought I was still conscious, if I just stabbed myself now, I could be free, all my pain and suffering could no longer harm me.
As I picked up the knife and slowly raised it, I stabbed myself.
I continued to keep stabbing until my body felt cold and went numb.
I could finally be free now, free from all my pain and suffering.
An escape was finally in view, I couldn't be happier.
However, before I could take that escape, as life seemed to suddenly shoot through me, I wanted to scream and cry, even throw a tantrum.
I don't want to be alive, why can't I just die and escape all my problems!
As my eyes no longer feel glued shut, I'm finally able to open them and when I wake up, I see myself wrapped in bandages.
"It's strange, there's almost no crime around this area, why is it that now of all times there's suddenly crime?"
"H-Hey, L-Léo, w-why am I wrapped up in bandages?"
"I took my eyes off of you for a moment to check on the girl who walked up to us, she was dead unfortunately, I couldn't do anything, but as I carried you and tried to run home with you, I heard a girl weakly crying for help, when I went to the source and found a girl, I tried to treat her wounds with what I had, but, I shouldn't have taken my eyes off of you, that person who killed that girl in front of us, they tried to shoot the girl I was treating but they missed and shot you instead, I'm just glad that both you and that girl I was trying to treat are fine"
