TRUE
STORY:
I was taking a walk. Getting things
off my mind. I always take the same path when I take a walk. A
long dirt road that passes by fields of green, tiny bridges and
rivers.
When I was walking, I saw a girl who looked about 15. She was
beautiful. She had silky, wavy brown hair and hazel eyes.
At first, I was just going to keep on walking. Mind my own
business. Until I saw her lift up her foot to step onto the
bridge rail.
I ran over to her before she could go any further.
I grabbed her arm and she screamed. I asked her what she was
doing.
And she answered "making everyone happy"
I pulled her down and told her that suicide was never the
answer.
She took out her phone and told me to read the latest text
messages.
They were all from a guy named "Stephen" and a girl
named "Alexia"
The Stephen guy was just saying how he didn't want to be with
her anymore, cus he can't 'stand to look at her face'
and she isn't worth anything. And the girl Alexia was saying
that she 'won' and that she didn't deserve Stephen,
Alexia did. And calling her ugly and stuff. I handed her back her
phone and told her to not listen to them. I said
"Alexia is right. You don't deserve Stephen. You deserve
a guy who knows how to treat a girl. You deserve the best guy in
the world. You're not pretty. You're beautiful. And
beautiful girls don't deserve to cry." And I wiped the
tear from her eye. "A girl like you doesn't deserve to
be in this position. Leaning over a bridge, ready to end her
life. You deserve to go on, live happy and healthy and smile. The
right guy will come along, and realize how amazing you are. And
he will be one lucky guy. And you will look back at this day, and
think 'what was I thinking?'
Don't get worked up over two immature people. It's not
worth it. Stephen will soon realize that he was lucky to have you
and that he messed up. And this Alexia girl is clearly jealous of
you. Please, walk away from this bridge. Walk away from these two
people. Delete the messages and smile. Show them that it
doesn't hurt. Show them that you are strong. I believe in
you."
She paused and said "I've always dreamed of this.
Dreamed that some amazing guy will save my life." She kissed
my cheek and said "Thank you. If it wasn't for you I
would have ended my life. I've never had any confidence my
whole life until today. You've just changed alot. You've
changed how I think of myself. You're my hero." She
chucked her phone into the water and walked away
smiling.
And right there, a tear fell down my cheek.
Most amazing experience of my life.
