I hang up the phone and shrug on my jacket. It may be spring, but it's been oddly cold this year. Not that the cold has ever bothered me, since I grew up surrounded in snow.
Locking the door behind myself, I rush out to my car and get going. It'll take me about fifteen minutes to get there… depending on the traffic. Hopefully it's not all the bad, and so far it doesn't seem it. I turn on the radio, letting the music drift softly throughout the car, mainly for background noise.
I don't see it coming, and I really shouldn't have to. The light's green, I get to go, and that's that. But the other person obviously didn't understand that.
A sigh escapes my lips as I stand there. Another closed casket funeral, another person I love. Halfway through Antonio has to lead me out. He says comforting words, though they do nothing. At this point, I don't hear him. I need an escape, I'll go insane. I feel so weak and I can't stand it.
Being vulnerable… it not something I can stand. Antonio stands after a moment and says something—I nod, though I didn't really hear his words. He walks back into the services, the doors shutting softly behind him.
I could leave, too, if I wanted. And I do. But how? I look around. Right out the doors, but then what? I want to leave in a way where it's a mix of Chiara and Madeline. Suicidal car crash? But that would risk someone else dying, and I could just end up injured. With my luck, it would be just that.
No, I'd just jump in front of a car. Yeah, sounded great. Just hopefully that person wouldn't mind. And if they do, I'm honestly not sorry.
So, I leave. No one's watching me. The street isn't that busy, a few cars passing up and down occasionally. I step to the edge of the sidewalk, looking down. Waiting is the worst…
I hear a car coming and my head snaps up. It turns the corner and is going too quickly to stop… they'll swerve, this is stupid, just go home and kill yourself there.
Ignoring this, I watch it. The driver isn't paying much attention, they're too busy chatting with someone. Closer, closer…
At the last second, I jump out, and it's all over.

…And that's it. So, uh, did anyone cry at any point of this? Because I want to know if I can make people cry while they read ghgrhnd. I don't think it would've, it's not all that wonderful, but hey, I'm asking anyways. |D
Um, so, yeah. Did you guys like it? Was it something you enjoyed reading? Will you please drop a review if those last two questions were answered with a yes? Should I stop asking so many questions? Yeah, I should. Okay, bye guys, I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for reading.
