CHAPTER 1: DON'T DO IT!

Shane notice something, it was a man standing at the edge of the cliff then suddenly she saw his face, it was Cael.

Shane's heart stopped when she saw the sight before her. Cael was standing on the edge of the rooftop, his head hanging low, and it was clear that he was in immense emotional pain. Shane ran towards him, her heart racing as she tried to reach him in time. She cried out his name, her voice filled with fear and concern. She was so worried, she couldn't even find the words to say. She was scared of what might happen if she didn't reach him in time. She didn't want to lose him.

Shane's heart was pounding, her mind whirring, as she grabbed hold of Cael's wrists. "What are you doing?" she cried, her voice choked with terror. "Are you trying to jump off?" Tears flowed down her cheeks, her gaze fixed on his face, pleading for answers. She knew he was in pain, she knew he was suffering, but the thought of losing him sent a shockwave of despair through her.

Cael look at her, with a weak look and scared

" Shane? What are you doing here?" Please let me go! " He said as his voice is getting weaker.

As Shane's voice trembled with fear, she looked at Cael, her grip on his wrists tightened. "Please, don't do this. We can talk about this," she pleaded. "I'm here to listen, let's talk it through first, okay?" Shane's eyes were filled with concern as she struggled to find the right words. She feared that her intervention might not be enough to change Cael mind. The thought of losing him was too much to bear.

Cael looks down at Shane, while a tear fell in his eye.

"i can't anymore..." he said it in a low tone and sounds weak..

Shane's heart broke as she saw the pain in Cael's eyes. She could see the weight of his emotions, the burden of his past, and the exhaustion of fighting for so long. She wanted nothing more than to take away his pain, but she knew she couldn't do that. She wrapped her arms around him, holding him in a tight embrace, and whispered into his ear. "You don't have to do this alone. Please, just tell me what you are feeling. You can be honest with me," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

*Cael looks down at Shane, as she didn't let go his arms.

"Shane, my love. I can't take it anymore..." "Cael sobbed, his words dripping with desperation. "There is no more fight in me, and I can no longer find the will to live."

Shane struggled to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill from her eyes. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, and her entire body was aching for this person, desperate to hold onto them and keep them in her life.

"You're my everything," she spoke softly, her voice trembling with emotion. "You can't just leave me like that," she continued, her pleading eyes locked onto Cael.

"I need you, and I don't want to be alone again. I don't want to be heartbroken again," she begged, desperation creeping into her voice. "Please, don't leave me... I can't lose you," she whispered, fighting back the tears that were now burning her eyes.

She didn't want to lose him to something that could be changed, to something that could be helped. She was begging him to stay, begging Cael to let her help him, and she didn't care who else was listening. This was her everything, and she refused to lose him.

Cael look at her with tears in his eyes "Shane, I can't take it anymore. I'm tired. I don't wanna live these pain anymore. I just want to die. He's voice is trembling as he spoke. It can see the pain in his eyes that he's giving up. No more pain.

The world around Cael seemed to fade as he spoke, the sadness in his voice so overwhelming that Shane felt like she was drowning in it. His eyes met hers, and in that moment she saw his exhaustion, his despair, his hopelessness...she saw the end of everything. It was too much to bear, and she felt the tears spilling down her cheeks as she gripped his hand in a desperate attempt to hold him back, to hold onto him, to hold onto life itself. "Cael, I can't let you go," she whispered, her voice breaking on the words. "You mean everything to me, you are everything...I need you." Her mind raced, trying to find the right words, the right way to reach him, to reach his heart, to reach the part of him that still wanted to fight, that still wanted to live. She was afraid, she was afraid of losing him, afraid of never having him in her life again, afraid of what the world would be like without him. And she was afraid of being alone, so very, very alone. She knew that they were both walking a tightrope, a tightrope that stretched over the abyss, and she would rather die than let Cael fall off of it, than let that chasm swallow him up. Her heart was beating so hard, so fast, she could feel it in the center of her chest, thudding against her ribs, threatening to break free, threatening to escape. "Cael, please," she begged, "please don't give up, please don't leave me." The tears were flowing freely now, wetting her cheeks and her throat, and her voice was barely above a whisper, but she meant every word, every syllable, with every fiber of her being. "I can't lose you, Cael, I can't...not you, not ever, not now." It was a desperate plea, a whisper of hope, a lifeline thrown into the sea of despair, and she hoped, oh God she hoped, that he would take hold of it, that he would take hold of her, her voice rising just a little, just a little more than a whisper, strong enough, just strong enough to reach him, to reach his heart, to reach the part of him that still wanted to live. "Cael, please, don't go."
