On the Edge

~ronnys pov~
I was sitting on the edge of the bridge humming a song. I heard a car and looked to see a black Audi screech to a hault. I stood up and started walking on the edge of the bridge. I was doing surprisingly well despite my drunken state.
"Ronny get down. We can talk this through." Bill called. I turned around a little to quickly and one of my feet slipped. I caught my self on a support beam an looked down at the water, mesmorized. I looked back at the twins who were slowly edging towards me. I loud clap of thunder sounded over head and rain drops slowly started to fall. I looked up at the sky mistified.
"yooouu guyss should go. I don no want you to see thiss" I slurred.
"we aren't leaving you. You need to come home with us, somewhere safe and where you can be happy" Tom said.
"I will never be happy" I yelled. Hurt spread across his face and he turned to Bill.
"you've been happy with us" Bill said. I scoffed.
"my mother ruined all chances of me being happy again when she said she wished I killed myself. Here I am about to do what my mother wants for the first time. It'd be best if I just got out of every ones way" I said looking down. The rain was growing heavier and the thunder was louder.
"your mother is going to get help! She agreed it'd be best if you stayed with us" Tom said. They were on the bridge by now.
"don't come any closer." I warned. They stopped walking. There was about 2 yards between us.
"please Ronny, suicide is a selfish way to go" Bill said. This was something I had often told my friends, what a hypocrit I am.
"by killing yourself your going to be hurting a lot more people." Tom continued.
"Sally wouldn't want this for you. Not after she died saving you" Bill said.
"how did you know about that?" I stuttered.
"you mom told us about Sally angling the car so she would take the impact. She wouldn't want her death to be invain. Ronny you're strong enough to get through this" Tom said. He was inching closer.
"it was just a matter of time" I said stepping away from them and away from the beam I held. Bill yelled something in German towards Tom and Tom waved him off.
"you've been so strong, you've heard from your mom she wished you were dead before! Why let it get to you now?" he asked.
"she's never said I wish you would kill yourself before. It's different then I wish you had died." I spit. I was soaked at this point and my brightly colored bra was very prominent under the white tank I wore.
"please Ronny. I don't want you to be the inspriration for any depressing songs. You are too beautiful and too sweet to end your life, it'd be a waste. Just step down and we will go home have some cocoa and curl up in bed" he said, outstreching his hand. I looked at his hand and then turned to face the water. My sobs grew louder as his words sank in. I thought about everything, what Sally would say to me, who would go to my funeral. How much would I hurt Bill and Tom by doing this. I slowly turned around but the board I stood on was slippery. Somehow I managed to throw my self forward. I skinned my knee on impact with the bridge flooring and only started crying harder. I didn't welcome the pain but rathe hated it. Tom was by my side in a second. He pulled me into his lap and we sat against the side of the bridge.
"Bill call her mom and tell her she's safe" he called. He stroked my face softly and I looked at him. His eyes were Geary and I guessed he was crying despite the small smile on his lips. He stood up slowly and lifted me up bridal style. I was shivering in his arms a mix of the sobs shaking my body and the freezing rain pounding against my exposed arms and legs.
"Tom, Bill" I said quietly when we were driving. They both looked at me expectantly.
"thank you. Thank you so much for caring. Thanks for saving me from myself" I said. Bill reached over and took my hand and toms grip around my waist tightened.
"we will always be there for you Veronica" Bill smiled.
"always" Tom said. I closed my eyes and squeezed Bills hand. I turned my head into Toms chest and drifted to sleep.
