1 Cheerful

She walks slowly, hesitating as she looks down from the bridge, down to the deep waters below, she steps back, afraid. as the cars drove by, after a few seconds of thinking, she then proceeded to grab the rails and step over it, she held on as she then once again looked down, terrified. She moved back and hold on to the rails tightly, "you can do this, you can do this" she repeated to her self, she took a deep breath and was about to jump, then she heard footsteps slowly coming towards her, "if you're trying to tell me not to jump, forget it" she yelled at this person, he looked up at her "what? No way, i'm never gonna tell you not to jump, i wanna see this" he said, "you're crazy" she replied, scared, once he got close enough to her, he grabbed the rail and looked down "wow that's a pretty long way down" he said "well this is gonna be fun" he said to himself, putting his arms on the rails and putting his head on his arms, "well go ahead" he said, "i will" she replied, she looked down again hesitating, "well...i'm waiting" he said "shut up! Give me a second" she replied, then she let go of the rails "hey you know what, if you wanna die that bad, don't jump" he suggested, smiling, "what do you mean? The first minute you tell me to jump then now you're telling me to not jump?" the girl said in confusion as she grabbed on the rail, "yeah, don't jump, instead go down to the shore and walk in the water, let's see how much you wanna die" he repeated himself, "what? What are you talking about?" she asked him, "well, go in the waters and find out for yourself, as you slowly lose breath, gasping for air, squirming, splashing, and regretting your decision, let's see how much you wanna die" he replied one last time, "no! you crazy man, i will not" she said, "well i guess you don't wanna die then" he said in disappointment, "of course i don't want to die...i just don't want to live" she said, "oh i see, well come over on my side and let's talk about it, or do you want me to go over on your side?" he ask, "no, i don't wanna talk about it, i'll go over on your side and we'll talk about what you're doing on this bridge, alone" she suggested, then as she stepped over the rails, she slipped and fell, "oh not again" he said to himself, as he took off his shoes then dove after her, falling from the sky he said "hold on to me!" she did what he said and as they were about to hit the water, they held each other tightly, splashing into the waters. then darkness, he saw nor heard anything, he screamed out for her underwater worried, he swam up to the surface, took a deep breath then swam back down to find her, he saw her and swam towards her, pulling her up to the surface, she was unconscious. Night started to fill the sky as the sun faded away, he dragged her to shore "wake up, wake up" he repeated, while slapping her, "oh wait, there's water in your throat, silly me" he said to himself, as he performed CPR on her, then she woke up, gushing out water, "oh ok, you're alive" he said in relief, "what happened?" she asked, "you fall and washed up here and i gave you CPR" he said, "why'd you save me? I told you i wanted to die, you didn't have to do that" she said angrily "no, you said you didn't want to live, so i saved you to show you why you should live'' he replied, "well whatever, i'm freezing, let's go to your place" she said, "uh, don't you have your home? Why can't you go there?" he asked, "i said, let's go to your place!" she said angrily, "ok! Calm down" he said a little afraid, he took her to his car and drove to his house, they walked in the door and when he saw what he left on the table he rushed in to clean the papers up, she saw but thought nothing of it, "ew, your house is a mess" she said in decuse, he laughed and said that he was just busy and forgot to clean up, "where is your shower? I need to use it" she said, "you can't take a shower! I don't have any clothes for you to wear" he said, "so? I'll just wear your clothes and tomorrow you can buy me new clothes'' she said "wait what? No way! I don't expect" he yelled but she ignored him and went into his shower, "oh my god" he said, after an hour went by "Ahhh…" she screamed, he ran knocking on the door "what's wrong?" he called out, "where is all your makeup?" she asked, "Oh My God!" he cried out, "also hand me your cleanest clothes" she ordered, "stupid, stupid" he muttered to himself as he walked in his closet to get her some clothes, she cracked the door little open and he handed her the clothes, after she was done she got out, "hey come over here, i made dinner" he called out to her, as she stepped in his kitchen, he saw her in his hoodie, which was too big for her, her hair in a bun, "her with no makeup on looked better than anyone i've ever seen" he whispered to himself, "what did you make?" she asked, "well it's my own recipe, i call it "yum yum" because it's yummy" he said with pried, "ewww" she said as she spit out the food, "hey, i worked hard to make that" he said sadly, "how can you even eat this, it taste like donuts, coffee and a lot of sugar just mixed together" she said, "that because it is" he muttered to himself "what?" she asked "nothing" he said, "let's order pizza instead" she suggested, "but i-" he tried to speak but he knew she wouldn't listen because she was already on his phone, she dialed the number to order a pizza, as she put the phone back she saw a photo of a family hidden in all the mess, her eyes filled up with fear "hey who are they?" she asked, when he saw the photo, tears fell from his eyes, "nobody" he said, brushing the tears from his face, she looked at him nervously, "tell me the truth, who are they?" she asked angrily, "nobody!" he yelled, slamming his palms on the table, "look! Forget you ever saw that photo ok" he angrily said, "you're hiding something from me, and i'm gonna find out" she replied, "there's nothing to find out" he said, as he walked slowly towards her and as she steps back, "that woman in the photo, she killed herself 12 years ago, but police say she was murdered by one of her sons-" she said, "shut up!" he yelled, her back touched the wall, he looked her dead in the eyes, "you're the son aren't you" she said, worried, "ohhh, bravo" he said laughing, then his smile faded, his eyes turned black, knock* knock* "hey, i have a delivery for Amore" the pizza delivery guy called out, "you know nothing of my situation" he said as he went to open the door, he paid the delivery guy and went to sit back down at the table, when he walked in the kitchen, there he saw her sitting down with a kitchen knife beside her, he put the pizza down and they started eating in the silence, after a few minutes of silence he asked "i never got your name" "Amore" she replied, "and you?" she asked, "Allegro" he replied, then it went back to silence again, after a few minutes of silence "get down" he said, "what?" she asked "just get down" he yelled, boom* his door went flying across the room as, men in suits came inside, a man came to the kitchen to find them, he grabbed the knife on the table and through it at him, which went into his chest killing him, when he fall, Allegro slid over, grabbed his gun and shot down 2 more that came running when they saw their dead comrade, when the rest heard the gunshots they ran to the kitchen, and sprayed down the kitchen with their bullets, Allegro knocked over is fridge just in time and the two of them hid behind it, when the bullets stopped the reloaded and walked towards to see what they have killed "idiot, we're not supposed to kill them" a guy said, "oops, well just gotta hope their live then, hopely boss doesn't kill us" the other guys said "doesn't kill us! Are you serious, he's gonna do worse than that if he found out we killed his daughter man" the guy said afraid, as they were talking Allegro told Amore to run, and so she did,she ran out of the fridge and into the living room "hey look, she's alive! We're not gonna die" the guy cheered, "oh no, you're still dead!" Allegro said as he came out from behind the fridge and shot them both down, he ran out of bullets so he dropped his gun but another guy who was twice the size of Allegro came from the room and about to look at what happened, Allegro tried to grab his gun but he missed so he just kicked it aside, after the gun was out of his hand, he punched Allegro then tackled him to the wall, Allegro used his elbow to try to get him off and it worked, he stepped back, and put his hands up, cracking his knuckles, he tried to punch Allegro but he dodged his punch then punched him in the ribs, he screamed out and then kicked Allegro, Allegro blocked it with his forearm but did not blocked the punch that was coming in from his left, he knocked Allegro to the floor, then kicked him, "come on little man, get up and fight" the guy said, Allegro got up with blood dripping from his lips then he just rushed it for the punches, hands were thrown back and forth by each other, some hits, some missed, then again he knocked Allegro to the floor but this time he picked him up and slammed him to the wall, Allegro got up once again, and went in just repeatedly punching his stomach, the guy coughed up blood and grabbed his ribs which gave him a disadvantage, and with one last punch from Allegro, the guy fell on his knees, dizzy. Allegro stood in front of him, with blood dripping from his lips, forehead, cheeks and an almost broken arm, "It was an honor fighting with you, now i will accept my defeat, do it" the guy said for his last words, "it was an honor for me as well my friend" Allegro said then, grabbed the guys head and snapped it, Amore watched all this happened, "who are you, these guys were dad's third best group of agents" she asked in confusing "let's clean this up" Allegro said "no way, all of this is your mess? you did this, not me" she tried to resist, but when he looked up at her, she said nothing and helped him clean up.
