~~langst~~ (one shots)

come with me

"Something fucking stupid I'd say" he says putting his hands on his hips. He walks forward a little.

"It's not stupid if you knew why...".

"Then why don't you come down and tell me what's up" he says calmly.

"Why do you care, who are you?"

"I'm Keith. Keith kogane. Now will you tell me what's up?"

I shake my head.

"you'll only try to talk me out of it" I tell him. He walks closer. "I'm done backing out".

"Maybe it's not backing out, it's just changing your mind. It's just finding something new to live for" he says shrugging.

"why are you trying to stop me? You don't know me" I say closing my eyes.

"I don't need to know you to care whether you live or die" he says.

I feel something other then sadness in my stomach and I try to force it away. I don't want to back out again

'maybe it's just changing your mind. It's just finding something new to live for'

"So are you gonna tell me why your up there?" He asks nonchalantly.

I swallow thickly.

"Fine! Fine..." I don't move though. "It's my dad, he... He abuses me and my family, he keeps us from making friends, he ignores our problems if we're sick we take our chances if we've broken something it heals badly or not at all. He's so goddamn terrifying...." I cry.

"It's my birthday today and we couldn't even sing the song because we were all too scared to speak, I blew out the candles and we were locked in our rooms at 7" I feel like a child, a baby for saying these things

I lift up my shirt and show him the gashes my father made with a knife and the burns and cigarette burns.

"This isn't even half it" I sob. "He hurts my mother... My baby siblings... My older siblings even our dog!" I cry.

"I can't handle it anymore. He starves us if we're bad... I wasn't allowed to eat any food today or yesterday because I stood in front of my sister when he was beating her" I'm sobbing so hard that the sobs are making my slip a little.

"It's too hard. I can't do it anymore! I've had enough!" I scream.

I slip off the ledge and I feel weightless for a second then my arm is pulled.

Keith grabbed my hand, he actually managed to grab my hand.

"That sounds like shit, but we can send him away we can punish him for it!" Keith yells his face screwed up with the weight of me.

"but for right now you need to help me get you up! Please don't give up! Please" he begs.

There's something about him is so disarming... I start to try help him lift me up.

After a lot of struggling and yelling random shit, Keith drags me on to the bridge, I land on top of him and go completely red and roll off him.

We both lie on the path panting and sweaty.

"If I live... long enough... I... Should start.... Working out" I pant.

"me... Too"

"why... the heck... did you... put that much... Effort" I grab my chest in pain. "Into saving me?" I ask.

"Because... You don't deserve to die" Keith says regaining his breath.

I take a final deep breath and relax.

"Don't you dare get back on that bridge after I just busted a goddamn nut lifting you onto it" Keith growls.

I put my hands up in surrender. "alright alright! There are other ways to get it done" I mutter laughing to myself.

"Ouch!" I yell.

Keith smacked my arm really hard.

"YOU KNOW WHAT!-" He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. "I get you're going through a hard time, a really hard time right now and have been for a while but your luck can change" he opens his eyes and looks at me now calm

He seems like he's dealt with this stuff a lot...

"that's unlikely... My dad isn't just going to up and die any time soon I'm not going to suddenly become likable and have friends" I say laughing.

Keith stays silent. His phone buzzes and he checks it quickly

"you know what?" he asks, standing and up brushing off his pants.

For a minute I think he's going to leave me and I just think "how appropriate" but he holds put a hand to me smiling.

I take it slowly and he yanks me off the floor and onto my feet.

"you're coming with me"
