Everything seemed perfect in your life, but deep down, you felt an emptiness that you couldn’t shake. You often wondered what would happen when you die, and now, here you were, standing on the edge.

The wind blew through your hair as you stood on the rooftop, hands in your hoodie pockets and one foot resting on the rail. You looked down, strangely unafraid of the height that once terrified you as a child.

It just takes one step… you thought.

A deep, calm voice broke through your thoughts, startling you. “You going to jump?”

You turned around quickly, guilt flooding you as you saw Simon standing there. His presence was reassuring, yet you felt exposed.

Simon closed the distance between you in a few strides, his arms wrapping around you gently but firmly. He slowly pulled you away from the edge, his grip secure and comforting.

All it took was one look into his eyes, and the dam broke. You crumpled in his arms, tears flowing freely as the weight of your emotions finally found release.
