Same Words

Fluff!
Mental health topics and mentions of suicide!

I stood on the roof of the tallest building in all of Battery City.
Something is wrong with me.
Something is so wrong that my friends left without me.
Something is broken to the point where it cannot be fixed.
I tried and tried and tried but I couldn't do it.
I am broken, unwanted but soon to be free.
This city tells us to "keep smiling" but I will not smile anymore.

I looked at the sunset, soon I'll make the colors of the sky brighter than they've ever been before.
"Goodnight Battery City. Never smiling again"
I ran towards the edge and heard someone yell.
I closed my eyes and jumped.
I was pulled away from the edge and someone pinned me down.
I started crying and the person sighed.
I covered my face with my hands and tried to get myself together.

Kobra's POV:

We got to the roof and I saw a boy just standing there.
"Goodnight Battery City" he sighed. "Never smiling again"
I recognized something about those words.
My brain started going 100 mph and realized that I had said those same words years before while standing on this roof.
The others stared at him in shock and I ran towards him.
He tried to jump off the edge and I grabbed onto him and pinned him down.

The guy started sobbing uncontrollably.
I couldn't say anything as my brain snapped into place again, making me realize what I had just done.
I saved a Battery civilian because- because- why did I save him?

I let go of him and got up.
"Kobra you-?" Jet tried to ask.
"Shut up" I snapped.
"Kid are you okay?" Party asked, kneeling down.
"I'm sorry" he whispered. "I can't stay here anymore, I have to-"
I took a step back and looked away.

Jet picked up the stranger and started walking to the door.
Ghoul went with him and Party was about to go too but stopped when I didn't move.
"Kobra" He said. "Why did you-?"
"I don't know, he was doing what I tried to do years ago" I sighed. "Same words, same roof"
"You saved someone today and I'm proud of you for that" he placed a hand on my shoulder and I slapped it away.
"Whatever, he's just another civilian"
Party turned around and followed the others.
I took my glasses off and looked into the sunset.
"I may have stopped you because someone did the same for me once"

Y/N's POV:

I woke up in an unfamiliar bed.
It was kind of uncomfortable but I couldn't really think straight.
Then I realized that I was indeed still alive.
I started crying again and just lay there.
Someone walked in and sat down on the floor of the bed.
"How you feeling?" He asked.
"I-" I could speak.
"Mhm, I'm Jet Star and I guess your name is Y/N? It was written on the inside of your jacket"
He looked down. "And if you're wondering, no, I wasn't the one who stopped you"
"W-who?"

Jet got up and went to the door. "KOBRA!!"
Another person walked in, he was skinnier and had very sharp features.
He didn't show even the slightest bit of emotion.
"What do you want?" He asked, sounding incredibly angry.
"Why did y-?" I was about to ask.
"I DON'T KNOW!!" He snapped. "I DON'T KNOW WHY I SAVED YOU!! YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER BATTERY CITY BITCH!! I DON'T CARE!!"
"But I did" I said. "I cared about you, Michael"
He twitched and his sunglasses fell onto the floor.
"And you may still hate me for that but it's okay, I understand your anger now"
Tears flooded his eyes and he stared at me in disbelief and terror.
"If you don't care, don't try to stop me"
I got up and walked past him.
"I'll be leaving soon"

Kobra stood silent in the room and I could hear him break down as I closed the door behind me.
I went into the bathroom and locked the door.
"Kobra!? What's wrong?!" Jet yelled, running past the bathroom. "Party come here!!"
I could hear the faint voice of Kobra crying.

I grabbed the blade from my pocket and pressed it against my already messed up arm.
I started cutting myself, deeper and deeper until I could only see blood.
I took my jacket off before looking into the mirror.
I took out a pill bottle and just chugged them.
"Hey kid, you won't make it this time" I said. "There's no getting out of this now"

I fell to the floor, slamming against the bathtub.
"Y/N? Y/N!!" Someone banged on the door.
"Y/N LET ME IN!!"
I felt a tear slide down my face as the warm blood pooled on the floor under me, soaking into my clothes.
"Y/N!! PLEASE!!"
The banging got louder. "IT'S ME, IT'S MIKEY!! Y/N PLEAEE LET ME IN!!"
"Mikey..." I whispered.

The door was pulled off its hinges and I saw Jet Star behind it.
Mikey ran inside and fell next to me.
"Y/N" he whispered.
"I'm sorry" I sobbed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
"No, no, you'll be okay, I do care about you, you're fine!!"
He pulled me up and just shoved his fingers down my throat to make me throw up the pills.

It took him a while to get everything out of me.
He pulled me into his arms and started sobbing uncontrollably.
I closed my eyes and smiled. "Thank you, Kobra"
"Everything w-will b-be okay" he sobbed. "I w-won't let you d-die"
He had wrapped my arm in loads on bandages to stop the blood.
"I remember t-that night on the roof, how you held me. Y-you refused to let me jump, even though I was screaming and crying for you to just let go"
"But I didn't let go, I couldn't" I whispered.
"And I love you for that"
