>Be me
>At water park at god-knows-where
>With friend
>Looking to pick up chicks
>Friend tells me he'll be my wingman, or at the very least help me find someone
>Sure enough, not long after we find one
>She's in the lazy river
>I tell him I'll do it alone
>He leaves, I trail behind her a bit until I'm in a position to talk to her
>End up in line for a huge water slide
>Both halfway up, leaning against railing
>She's looking away
>Instinctively look to what she's looking at
>See the sun setting behind her, making it look like she's glowing
>Oh god she's like nothing I've ever seen
>"So beautiful," I whisper
>She turns to me and simply says "It is, isn't it?"
>Her eyes don't match her words, they're rather empty, dead even
>The line moves, turn away to move forward
>Look back at her
>She's standing on top of the railing
>Closes her eyes
>Leans back
>Ohgodno.jpg
>Scream as I grab her before she has a chance to fall
>Others notice and help me bring her back to safety
>At this point she's sobbing, pushing everyone away
>Before I can even think, I hug her tight, telling her nothing's worth losing your life over
>Someone called 9/11
>Cops and EMTs arrive
>They bring her to the hospital, I hear she was psyciatrically evaluated
>Apparently she's been through some heavy shit
>She's institutionalized for a few days as a precaution, put on suicide watch
>I visit her
>She's shocked to have any visitors whatsoever
>Tell her I don't know what she's been through but that if she ever wants to talk, I'm there to listen
>She smiles
>It's the warmest, yet somehow most wistfully depressing smile I've ever seen
>Heart skips a beat
>Isthislove.png
>Things start to get better for her, she's released from the hospital
>She gives me her number
>A few days later ask her out on a date
>She says yes
>So excited for the date
>Think of how good a time we're gonna have
>Wake up
