Chapter 5
It's Thomas.
"Don't come any closer!" I shout "Please."
"Get down now."
"I can't'!"
That's when I hear some muffles. Someone mentioning about calling an ambulance.
"Just come down Margo!"
"And then what?"
"We'll work this all out?"
"We can't... Everything's so messed up. Can't you see that?"
"Of course I can,but you can do it. Just come down."
I start to feel panicked again.
"Thomas..."
"Yes?"
"I can't breathe."
"That's okay. I'm right here behind you,just fall back into my arms."
I close my eyes and do as I'm told as I fall gently in to his warm embrace,my arms wrapped around him as I cry into shirt. But he doesn't seem to mind.
I can only hear blurry sounds,they echo around me. I hear the siren as I lie in the ambulance. With a hand gripped in mine and I know exactly who it belongs to. I keep my eyes closed and relax as they pull me out and whisk me away. I imagine what it would've been like if no one noticed.
Everything's so fragile.
I wake up in a blurry room,to see Thomas and a few doctors beside me.
"We'll give you two some privacy." The doctor says,smiling at us both then waking out,closing the door so we just sit there awkwardly.
"Are you feeling any better?" He asks.
"A little,how did you find me?"
"Once I saw that letter I ran out and asked some people,someone said they saw you here."
"Oh."
"Would you really have done it?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"To end my pain. And my parents?"
"What about your parents?"
"They want me back. They won't leave me alone. I don't have to go back,right?"
"Not if you don't want to. Just stay with me. And I'm not leaving your side until you get back on your feet."
"Do I have to stay in the hospital?"
"No,just as long as you take some medication. And counselling."
"I don't want that."
"I think it's what I need."
"I need you. That's all."
"If you're sure."
"Yes I'm sure."
I reach out my hand and he squeezes it tightly.
"Don't be cross with me Tom.."
"Why would I?"
"I smoked one of your cigarettes."
"Why would I be cross?"
"Because they're yours."
"Margo. That's okay,but why,I thought you didn't smoke?"
"I don't. I just wanted one.. I wanted to keep on doing it.. Until the cigarette was emptier than me."
