i'd written all of my notes.
they were all unlocked on my phone, one for my mom, one for my sister, one for Kevin, one for Veronica, even one for Archie, i'd even left them all a little gift to hopefully remember me by, your probably wondering why i'm doing this, i guess i'm sick and tired of living, i just can't do it anymore.
i'd put them on my bedside table, i took my bottle of Adderall pills and walked out of my house, not caring if i woke my mom up, i walked all the way to Sweet water river and sat on the bridge, watching as the water rushed beneath me, i took a deep breath and stood up, my shaky hands holding the pill bottle, i popped the lid off and shoved a load in my hand, i climbed up to the top bar and was about to swallow the handful of pills
"i wouldn't jump if i were you" i heard rough voice say, i looked down and saw a tall figure dressed in a leather serpent jacket, sitting down next to the empty bottle
"well your not me so please leave me alone" i sighed and looked down at the river below
"correct, but do you really want to jump? i mean you only live once, got a bucket list?" he said, patting the space next to him, ebbing me to sit next to him, i groaned and climbed down, hoping to soothe his worries so he'd leave early and i could get on with it
"to die"
"so you don't wanna like skydive? swim with sharks?"
"i wanna swim with dolphins?" i admitted softly, looking down at my fingers with had been picked to within an inch of their life
"well you have to be 17 to swim with them, how old are you?" he asked gently
"15" i mumbled
"well, you've got two years, just one more try just try to make it to see the dolphins" he said, hitting my shoulder in a joking fashion
"i'll try" i smiled
"same time tomorrow..." he paused waiting for my name
"betty"
"jughead, nice to meet you Betty" he said and walked off leaving me in a puddle of my own thoughts.
"glad to see your here, i got Pops, you want some?" he plonked himself down beside me and handed me a bag, which i peaked into and saw a load of fries with some ketchup at the bottom
"thank you" i smiled up at him, he grinned back and delved into his burger
"so, how are you feeling today" he asked, breaking the comfortable silence
"i still want to die" i sighed putting my fries down
"i know, just one more try please?" i nodded and continued eating
"so, what's your favourite colour?" he asked, trying to make easy conversation
"yellow"
"why"
"it makes me happy, looking at it, you just look at the colour yellow and think happy, how about you?" i asked, turning to him
"blue, always makes me smile especially light blue you know?" i nodded and we both went back to eating, after he'd finished we talked to a while before he looked at the time and started to dust himself off
"same time tomorrow?" i asked, the smallest bit of hope in my voice
"same time tomorrow" he assured me i smiled and waved him goodbye
he did come back, this time with a light yellow scarf, he sat down next to me and draped it around my neck
"it looked nice in the store" he shrugged, admittedly, i shuffled over and leant my head on his shoulder
"thank you" i grinned, rolling myself tighter in it, desperate to keep some warmth in.
we talked for even longer that night, he had a sense of understanding, he knew i wanted to die and he excepted that but some part of me didn't want to now he was here, talking to me every night, bringing me Pops, a scarf in my favourite colour, heck he'd even given me a nick name 'betts' he knew i cringed at it every time but still continued to call me it
"you wanna come meet some of my friends tomorrow night?" he asked once it had fallen silent between us, comfortably of course
"sure, if your okay with it"
"i wouldn't of asked if i wasn't" he chuckled wrapping his arms around me, shielding me from the winters chill.
