You: talking on the phone
Will do, okay have a good day too.

You hung up the phone and looked over at the living room to see Orlando practicing on the acoustic guitar, he's improved so much and Antonio's lessons are just so enjoyable for him.

You: clapping when he finished a song
Bravo! Bravo!

Orlando looked over at his shoulder and had a small smile on his lips; he was still very depressed over Abree's death and Noelia got suspended from school for almost a month due to the fight. The boy she punched up got a busted lip, several bruises, scratches and had to get several stitches along with heavy pain medication; no one expected to see such a reaction from her, she was completely devoted to Orlando, to the point where she proudly took her punishments.

Orlando: putting his guitar on the couch and frowning
Mamma, that was a sad song, you don't applaud a sad song.

You: looking at him with heavy eyes
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was talking with Giovanni just then and he said that Noelia is at the river playing, do you want to see her?

Orlando: hopped of the couch and walked over to the front door silently
Si mamma...

...

Orlando looked around the luscious park looking for Noelia, then he finally spotted a girl with long straight chocolate coloured hair dressed in a flowing light teal coloured dress that had black polka dots. She was sitting in between the handrails of a wooden bridge, swaying her feet back and forth, watching the water streaming by. Orlando ran over to her with a smile on his face and sat beside her, giving her a huge hug.

Orlando: pointing down at the sharp rocks in the river
Non cadere, l'acqua è molto profonda e piena di rocce taglienti. (Don't fall, the water is very deep and full of sharp rocks)

Noelia: looking up at him with lifeless eyes
Si, lo so. (Yes, I know)

Orlando: foolishly smiling
Quindi cosa vuoi fare? (So what do you want to do)

Noelia: sighing
Possiamo solo stare qui e parlare? (Can we just sit here and talk)

Orlando: picking up on her depressed vibe
Noelia, per favore non sento triste fuori quello che è successo a scuola. (Noelia, please don't feel sad about what happened at school)

She didn't respond, only fixed her eyes on the river, tears falling from her eyes and landing into the river being washed away. Something was differently wrong with Noelia and Orlando needed to fix it. He leaned in closer to her and brushed a strand of hair back behind her ear before taking a hold of her hand and continuously tranced a smiley face on it. She looked up at him with tear stained cheeks, taking in all his features before cracking a fake smile. A sudden hand full of coins filled Orlando's hands, he looked at her puzzled.

Noelia: Nodding over towards a gelato cart
Vai noi ottenere qualche gelato. (Go get us some gelato)

Orlando shot up and slipped the money into his pocket, before he could run off Noelia grasped onto his hand and stared up at him for a quick second. Scanning his face like this would be the last time she'd ever see him; then she let go and he ran off to fetch the treats. Noelia shakily got up onto her feet and scanned around looking for anyone, the gelato cart was rather far away and out of sight from the bridge; hulling herself up onto the bridge railings and holding out her arms to balance she took in a deep breath. Her eyes instinctively opened up and she looked down, the bridge was raised very high above the river; a fall would differently be fatal, carrying the body down stream easily. There was a reason why this bridge was named 'Il releaser di rotta' (The Broken's Releaser), this river was beautiful, but was famous for successful suicide attempts. It was all started by a woman on her wedding day that jumped off this bridge; it was said that she caught her future husband cheating on her with one of her bridesmaids. Then she jumped making everyone watched as she fell head first into the water wearing her wedding dress, being followed by 'red water' as her lifeless body floated down stream. Yelling snapped Noelia out of her daze as she felt someone grip onto her wrist pulling her back and landing on the main part of the bridge; Orlando had her tightly secure in his embrace as he cried into her shoulder as they both sat on the bridge.

Orlando: crying and stroking Noelia's cheek
No! Non farlo! Noelia no! (No! Don't do it! Noelia no!) Sono così grato ho dimenticato di chiedere che sapore che volevi! (I'm so thankful I forgot to ask what flavour you wanted!)

Noelia sat there stunned and soaking up Orlando's embrace, she wanted him to leave so he wouldn't witness her death.
She stuttered Orlando's name and he locked his eyes with hers, wiping away some of her stunned tears that stung her cheeks to gain a rosy completion.

Noelia: looking him dead in the eyes
Lasciami andare e lasciare. (Let me go and leave)

This only tightened his grip around Noelia.

Orlando: rubbing his nose against her cheek
Mai! Siamo in grado di lavorare questo fuori! Mi metterò qualcuno per aiutare se questo! Lo prometto! (Never! We can work this out! I will get someone to help you through this! I promise!)

Noelia cupped his chin and ran her other hand hair through his dark brown auburn hair, getting lost in the honesty and fear his green hazel eyes were drowning in.

Noelia: pulling him into a hug
Orlando, il corpo ho intenzione di lasciarsi alle spalle è solo una nave. (Orlando, the body I'm going to leave behind is only a vessel) Qualcosa ho usato per esistere sulla terra e userò mai per portare la vita nel mondo. (Something I used to exist on earth and will never use to bring life into the world) Aspetto, sesso, razza sono tutti senza senso e non sarà mai descrivere chi sono dentro. (Appearance, gender, race are all meaningless and will never describe who I am inside)

Those words must have been the strongest thing Orlando has ever heard, because he actually let go of Noelia and helped her to stand back up. She was shocked by how he acted, could he really see how passionate she was to be finally freed from this bitter sweet 'cage' called earth?

Orlando: pulling himself up onto the bridge rails
Pronto? (Ready)

Noelia: pulling herself up too
A rimanere in Orlando terra! Non è il tuo tempo! (You stay on earth! It's not your time!)

Orlando: holding her hand and trying to stay balanced
Dove mai si va, vado! (Where ever you go, I go)

Noelia: looking at their hands holding
Tutta la mia vita mi sentivo intorpidito, sapevo di essere in vita, ma non ho ritenuto vivo. (My whole life I felt 'numb', I knew I was alive, but I didn't feel alive) Tutto ciò che devo perdita è mio padre e voi, ma avete molto di più per la perdita, rompendo così tanti altri cuori. (All i have to loss is my dad and you, but you have so much more to loss, breaking so many more hearts)

Before Orlando could respond he was cut off by the sound of police sirens blaring and officers on foot running up to the pair. Noelia let go of Orlando's hand and looked him in the eyes, instinctively grabbing his head and placed her lips against his. Orlando was shocked by what was happening, adrenaline was pumping through his body and the foreign texture of something warm and soft against his lips startled him; it felt so right though. During the brief seconds of the kiss Orlando could picture himself living the rest of his life with the giver of kiss; Noelia was the Juliet to his Romeo. She pulled away with a flushed face and then looked down at the river, pulling something off of her neck and shoved it into Orlando's pocket.

Noelia: kissing him on the cheek one last time
Io ho sempre amato e aveva bisogno di farlo così ho potuto morire felice, il mio grazie di oliva! (I have always loved you and needed to do that so i could die happy, thank you my olive!) Prometto di dire ciao a Abree per voi e dirle che la ami così tanto! (I promise to say hello to Abree for you and tell her that you love her so much)

Noelia turned her back to the river with her heels hanging over the edge and watched as the police were almost at arm's length from her, then she leaned back.

Noelia: falling off the bridge and saluting Orlando with a smile on her face
I a~love you a~Orlando!

Orlando watched her fall with widened eyes and in utter shock, but was soon ripped down from the bridge railings by a police officer and safely placed back onto the main part of the bridge. He was utterly traumatised and trembling with fear as he attempted to comprehend what he had witnessed; his best friend just died, but also confessed to have loved him, he felt the lips of a now dead person against his less than twenty seconds ago. Noelia was finally free, but her feelings will forever haunt Orlando; he just lost his one true soulmate, but she final felt alive within her final seconds. He reached down to his pocket and yanked out her money and the item she placed in his pocket; her silver cross necklace that was identical to his laid in his palm mixed up with the coins. The necklace was proudly placed around his neck and he threw the coins down into the river yelling 'These belong to you!'; he had to be restrained by the police as they thought that he too was going to jump.

{#########PLEASE NOTE##########}
Suicide is never the right way to solve an issue, if you are ever depressed, dealing with anxiety, bullied, etc. Talk with somebody and get help, because there will always be someone there to help, such as family, friends, specialists, teachers, councillors, help lines and so much more, even talking to a pet can help release stress. Do something constructive to channel that negative energy, like sports, arts, music, spending time with friends, anything that makes you happy.
I know I killed of a character in this chapter by having her take her own life and it's even more shocking that it was a 7 year old, but this is all dramatised and meant for entertainment purposes. Just recently in my town a teacher at my school lost his 11 year old son to suicide, when I was in year 4 an older student at my old school took her life too in front of her friend and when I was around 9 I had a cousin that also committed suicide as well.
Suicide is a serious issue that is still existing and I have witnessed the damage it has done with my own eyes, so please seek help and remember that there is always gonna be a rainbow somewhere after the storm.

I'm so sorry if this chapter upsets anyone and I will add a warning in the bringing if people think it's needed.
Sorry for killing off another character literally after the first one died 2 chapters ago.

Thank you for reading!
