Roman couldn't take it anymore.

Everything was turning out bad in his life and he was starting to feel like he could never get the happy ending he wanted in life.

Was his life some sort of sick joke?

Was he really the hero in his story called his life?

Or was he the villain in other people's stories?

Whatever Roman was, he knew he couldn't take it anymore. He's done with acting like everything's fine when in reality, Roman feels like everything is falling apart around him, being consumed by darkness.

It felt like even his real happiness was disappearing, never to be seen again and that there's no hope left in the world.

Roman knew what he had to do next.

Just find the nearest cliff and jump. Or go there and bring the pills and chug them. Nobody will stop you either way, so why bother telling anyone about it? Roman thought before drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, Roman barely ate breakfast and looked back at his mother with a smile as he said goodbye, his mother not knowing that it would be his final goodbye to her before he left the cruel, uncaring world he was trapped in. She wouldn't miss him, anyways. This was one of the few times she wasn't still out drinking. Even in the morning.

At school, Roman didn't even pay attention to what the teachers were saying. He didn't have to do homework where he would be going after school.

At lunch, he made sure to spend extra time with his group of friends. Which was just three other people, Patton, Logan, and Virgil. Roman wanted his last day with them to be special, so he brought them all cupcakes.

"What's with the cupcakes, Princey? I'm flattered, but I'm not interested." Virgil said teasingly.

"Yeah! It's not any of our birthdays!" Patton said happily, talking a bite out of the cupcake.

"Well, like the old German saying says, "Ich lüge Ich werde auf der Klippe Selbstmord begehen.""Roman replied, hoping none of them know what he's saying. (If anyone knows what he actually said, or at least some of it, you get a cookie.)

"What does that mean? I don't think any of us know German." Patton asked, and Logan was about to speak up until Roman cut him off.

"It means 'friends who are close to you and eat together with every day get cupcakes' now let's just enjoy this time we have together." Roman replied, slowly getting annoyed.

They all ate in silence, with the occasional joke and laughter, but Logan was silent, knowing the real meaning to what Roman said in German. Of course, he was going to tell the other two about it later so the three of them could confront Roman about it, or just go confront Roman about it himself after class.

The rest of the classes flew by for Roman, and he was relieved to hear the final bell. Most people were excited to go home for the weekend, while Roman was happy that he was finally going to end it all.

Roman shut his locker and was about to leave until he heard a voice behind him.

"I never knew you spoke German."

Roman recognized the voice and turned around, seeing Logan. "Oh, it's something I never told anyone about before. I saw one of my favorite character speak it so I decided to learn it on the side! Because I'm already learning Spanish." Roman replied, before taking a quick glance at his watch before looking back at his friend.

It's 2:15 already? I really should go before I miss my chance. Roman thought.

"Well your not the only one who speaks German. I'm surprised you forgot." Logan said with a look on his face, knowing what Roman was going to do later.

It took a few seconds to process, but Roman figured it out.
"You know what I really said, don't you?" Roman said, with a little anger in his tone. He had hoped no one had found out because he thought they wouldn't care and if anything they would make fun of him for it and not be concerned.

"Yes, but-"
"I have to go, Logan. I don't want to stick around for whatever your about to say. I know your just going to be mean about it." Roman angrily said, cutting Logan off. Roman turned away from him and ran out of the school.

"I-I was going to say that I care about you and so do Patton and Virgil.....oh never mind he's gone." Logan muttered, before heading into the parking lot as well, spotting Virgil and Patton waiting.

"Hey, is everything okay? We saw Roman running out of the school while holding something in his hand. And it wasn't his backpack, which is already strange. He didn't even say goodbye to us!" Patton said, looking worried.

"We need to get in my car. Now. Before it's too late." Logan said grabbing both Virgil and Patton's arm and running towards his own car.

"Too late? For what? Logan-"
"I'll explain everything on the way! We're going to save a life today, Virgil." Logan said with panic in his tone, cutting Virgil off.

Roman was running quickly. He didn't even bother to bring his backpack and didn't care at this point if anyone saw the pill bottle he was holding. It wasn't like anyone was going to stop him, anyways.

He ran all the way from the high school to the cliff, without looking back. He needed to do it privately so no one will have to witness it.

Roman stood on the cliff, debating to either jump or chug the bottle of sleeping pills he stole from his mother that he had with him.

Of course, she'll be furious at me when she comes home from work because her pills. They were stolen!! But finding out that I won't be alive any longer? She won't care. Roman thought, looking down at the pill bottle in his hand.

Roman set the pill bottle down ok the grass and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket and sat down and started writing on the paper. He had forgotten to write a note, so he decided to do it before he leaves forever.

Meanwhile, with the other three....

"Logan, slow down! It's not a matter of life or-you know what that was a bad choice of words but you get the point that you should slow the hel- I mean...the heck down!"

They were in Logan's car, driving to the cliff where Roman had went. At this point in time, Logan had already explained the situation to Patton and Virgil, and Logan was driving as fast as he possibly could. Or at least faster than usual.

"Well the only reason that I'm going this fast is because our friend might die today!!" Logan angrily replied to Virgil.

"I knew something felt off about him, but I just never thought he would......" Patton started to say before letting out a sob, with Virgil patting his shoulder for support.

"Don't worry, Pat. We'll be there soon." Virgil whispered to him reassuringly.

Back to Roman........

Roman had finished writing the note. It took a bit longer than he had expected. Now was the tricky part.........

He stood up, took a few steps back, and grabbed the pill bottle and started to open it.

"Stupid caps! Why. Can't. You. Just. Open!" The frustrated teen said with a groan as he tried to open the bottle of pills.

Roman soon opened the pill bottle, and was about to chug it when........

"ROMAN DON'T DO IT!! PLEASE!!"
