I s.a.i.d step d:o:w:n

[Етеяиiту]

A young boy, broken family, broken heart, the days go round the blood continues to flow. Syoun is just an ordinary high school boy, his parents fight and beat him, his dads a drunk and his mom is a workaholic. He has an exact count of three friends. All the kids in school either ignore him or bully him, cutting and self harm was his only form of release and now as he walked down the dark street headed towards the bridge which it wasn't uncommon for suicides he didn't really just want to be one of those people but it was really the only way unless he cut his wrists deeper than usual. His arms were covered by a long sleeve black t-shirt, his pants were white and he wore black and white vans, he stopped walking and just thought /wouldn't it just be better if my parents found me and felt that guilt/ he looked to the ground his black hair slipping into his face.

But then, a strange tapping noise could be heard. It sounded something like a stick hitting the ground. Soon, a strangely dressed figure could be seen walking towards him. This person was dressed in some strange long robe-like outfit with an assortment of things hanging around him. His hair was black and white, and his eyes were a neon green. The stranger looked up as he approached, a walking stick in one hand. He raised an eyebrow as he neared the other. He nodded a hello.

[Етеяиiту]

He looked up at him "hi" he said giving him a small nod and stepping out of his way

[deepwallow]

"What ails you, stranger? You have the look of sadness." The stranger said, stopping a little past him and glancing back.

[Етеяиiту]

"What does it matter?" He asked quietly, looking back to the ground

[deepwallow]

"It matters because I have a feeling that you may end up doing something you will regret. And stranger or no, you don't seem like a bad person. You seem worthy of saving from whatever you have planned." He said, turning around half-way.

[Етеяиiту]

He looked away from him thinking /your a stranger you know nothing of whats happened/ "well..." He trailed off

[deepwallow]

"Why don't you tell me? So I can understand what ails you?" The stranger asked, now turning fully around and giving him his full attention

[Етеяиiту]

"What do you mean tell you, tell you what? I dont even know you."

[deepwallow]

The stranger shrugs. "Sometimes it's good to tell your troubles to someone outside of your normal life. You don't feel judged or feel the need to hide things since you don't see them very much or won't see them ever again."

[Етеяиiту]

He looked over to him. "I guess so"

[deepwallow]

The stranger shrugged. "So, want to talk?" He asked honestly, his face devoid of any judgement and regarding Syoun with curiousity but also openness

[Етеяиiту]

"If you want to"

[deepwallow]

The strangers nods. "I do. So, why are you out here, by yourself?" He asks curiously

[Етеяиiту]

"Well, i was going to jump off the bridge" he said

[deepwallow]

The stranger raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't judging, only curious. "Why would you want to jump?"

[Етеяиiту]

"Because i wouldnt have to deal with my parents or school if i did"

[deepwallow]

The stranger thinks for a second, as if digesting his words and taking them into consideration. "Why would you want to escape from your family and school?" He asks eventually, looking back at him

[Етеяиiту]

"My family abuses me and my dads a drunk my mom doesnt care about anything but work, and everyone at school bullies me." He said

[deepwallow]

The stranger thinks again, taking it in, before looking back. "Then why do you return? Why not just leave? It seems your misery is centered here. Then why stay?"
