I was pretty obsessed before on gaming honestly living in twenty's is pretty fascinating. Human's sure are so talented to make people forget everything from this world and make busy with something else. It's the devices. I am pretty attached with devices too.
One of a huge platform with different kind of high ended games suddenly popped up on my laptop. I played there for months. I became pretty skilled though. Ranked in there top fifteen. Of course i am good with battles and fights. Countless peoples do group chat there. But i was always kept them on read.
One day i got a mention from specific person. It's a guy named Shawn. He is in college about to graduate from this country. So one or two year's older than me. Though i don't attend college.
It all started when he asked me if i am a stalker or not. Honestly natural conversation always ignored by me. But this made me reply. He was pretty friendly but flirtish. I kept ignoring those words and we just kept in touch as a friend. Like he texted me one month ago and i left them seen for another month then again reply after next month.
Everything was going usually, after two years he kept telling me to meet. I wasn't giving it that much thought. Then one day he texted me, he is near a lake. He will take his life. It was already night's nine am. At first I ignored it thought he was kidding. We never seen each other neither we heard our voices. Then i texted him after few minutes. The message not sent. I understood, something is off. I putted my jacket on rushed that address he texted me. Of course I had to use bus to reach there. He lives pretty far away. Though that lake was nearest then his home. I seen a lot's of people their, beside the lake. I started to searching for him, then i spotted a boy. Seated at the lake shore. i could read his thought about doing something stupid. I ran toward him. slapped hard at back.
You fuckhead.
He looked at me, couldn't recognize me.
Who are you?
I said furiously,
Grim reaper. Why your phone is off?
He tapped beside him, signed me to sit. I realized he understood its me,
I seated beside him, remained silent. The cold breezing wind brushing our face. Then he started to saying.
I thought of taking my own life from the very first day i said i wanted to meet you.
I slapped his head and asked,
You think it will solve you're problems?
He said,
I can't say you, i don't want to speak about that to anyone because none can help.
I patted his back comforting him.
He started to crying hard, covering his face with hands.
Cry all out. Don't hold back.
The very first i seen his mind with full of tension. He caught with fraud a insurance company, invested a lot. When his dad found out that, he fallen sick. Now they found out he have leukemia. They have money but his dad giving up on his life. Only his mother now running after his dad, best to keep him alive. He couldn't take the burden of his father which is his fault.
I said him softly,
wanna hear a story?
He looked at me with all red eyes, nodded slightly.
I started to telling,
A man of honor battled for his all life protecting two realm. He was so into his responsibilities and he was respected and feared by others more than enough. But one day for a false accusing, the whole realms started to oppose him. Humiliated him, said to kill him even snatched his respected court and got him out from his own protected land. When they were about to kill him, his only caring beloved person sacrificed himself. The man burst out in rage. Burned everything. But his beloved never came back. Even his closest friend also sacrificed her life for him, when he poisoned him. But in the end all he did, couldn't bare the pain of living with the burden and killed himself.
Now what you see? You think he did great?
He looked at me and furiously said,
Is he a dumb? Everyone who cared for him sacrificed themself to keep him alive, let him live for more, but he killed himself. How coward he is!
I chuckled. Asked,
What about you?
He stood up looked at me froze. Then looked down, The tears falling from his chin dripping at ground.
Sorry, I would never dare to do that. I wont give up on my life also on dad.
I chuckled,
Yeah. Anyways nice to meet you. It's a shame for good looking and talented boy to disappear from this world.
I turned to leave. He called me once more. Asked,
But how did you knew about my dad?
I looked back smiled and left. Waved bye to him from back.
