Grandpa Max couldn't stand to watch as all this happened. He still couldn't believe that his granddaughter, whom he had cherished so much would meet her demise before he did. If only he could turn the tables. He looked at the young man on the podium who was saying his last farewells. He was the only man his granddaughter ever brought to him. He was charming, kind, compassionate and a wonderful human being. She found a great man indeed but it was too bad she couldn't live to stick to him.

Sky looked at everyone seated, it just wasn't his place. He cleaned the tears that had formed a long line on his cheek and sniffed. How was he to move on after this? There was no telling what would happen next or how he would go about his life without her, he just couldn't see that happening. She came into his life with so much...love, now that she's gone, was there still a point in living? He lowered his head and walked down the podium without saying the last words, goodbye. No one could really blame him, it wasn't so easy to say goodbye to the one who gave you meaning to life, it just wasn't. There were still so many things he wanted to do with her. So many places to go, so many food to try out. It was somehow funny how she always found delight in eating different kinds of food at the same time but at this point, he couldn't find himself laughing. There was nothing to laugh about and there was nothing to lift the spirit. This was probably going to be the order of the day, sadness.

Harrison watched Sky walk down the podium and sighed. Somehow he felt contempt towards him. It wasn't his fault and it had nothing to do with him but thinking about how his sister spent her last days with him, it angered him and pushed him to feel hate. 'Why him and not me?' He watched as Sky picked up a guiter and played a note, his eyes widened, it couldn't be. Right?

Aliya ran out with Greg chasing after. She finally stopped in the rain and looked up. Such a painful feeling, was there anything she could do to ease that feeling? Was there anywhere she could go to forget, all the sad memories, sad past, sad present? She felt a pair of arms around her, she knew who it was and she knew what he meant but somehow she wished she had never known him.

"Why?" she asked "Why did it have to end like this? How did it end like this?" she asked as tears dripped down her eyes. Neither of them knew the answers and as much as Greg wanted to know, he couldn't.

The rain fell hard and washed these two but it couldn't wash away the deep cut on their hearts. How did it really come to this?

Allison stood by the pool with tears rolling down her cheeks. She didn't want to believe that any of this was real, she just couldn't. The weather was aweful and the rain would start pouring any moment. She thought back at what the doctor said.

"Miss Allison, I'm sorry to say but..." His pause gave her a really bad feeling. He stretched an envelope over to her which she reluctantly accepted. After opening it, she coughed really hard, the nurse brought a cup of water which she gulped down really hard.

"Tell me this isn't true?" She said but the doctor kept silent. "Tell me this isn't real!" She screamed.

"I'm sorry but...you have less than a year to live. Your mother was aware of the fact that you had brain cancer a few years ago and I recommended you undergo an operation but she brushed it aside. Now I'm afraid, it's too late." As he said these words, Allison couldn't help but feel her heart melt. Tears rolled down her eyes down her cheeks like a waterfall. Was there ever a time she didn't want to live? She was contented with how she was even if money wasn't an easy thing to come by but still, why did life give her this terrible privelege?

***

Now there was nothing else to do, instead of waiting around for death to meet her, why not she go to it instead? Allison wasn't thinking of anything when she made this decision, not even her family.

Standing by the suicide pool, she was ready to embrace her destiny.

Two guys took their usual route through the suicidal area. Somehow it had been a regular thing to see someone commiting suicide at the pool, that was why it was called the suicide pool.

Sky, one of the two guys, hung a guiter around his back. His mind was completely occupied to the extent that his best friend, Greg, had to lead the way.

"It looks like someone's commiting suicide...again!" Greg said but Sky didn't seem to care. His gaze was fixed on the path they were taking. "Oh my, she looks so lovely. I wonder what's pushing her to die so soon?"

Sky stopped on his tracks. He felt his whole body freeze for some reason. He slowly turned his head to see who it was. He felt his whole body pushing him to approach her but he didn't want to. Yet, as much as his head told him to be logic and mind his business, his heart yearned for her. It was her! That girl was her! She... His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of water. She just jumped in. He quickly ran towards the suicide pool, shove his hand in and pulled her by the shirt out of the pool.

Allison coughed out. She was shocked. Just a moment ago she jumped in, how was it that she was still alive. She looked up to see a tall figure towering over her.

"Who..?" Her face grew angry "Why did you save me? What does my death have to do with you?" She yelled at him.

"Excuse me but, I want to say a few things and after I'm done, you can decide if you want to still jump in." Sky said and seeing that she didn't refuse, he continued decided to continue "I don't know what's pushing you to die but, I don't want you to die. I'm sure you have a family. Just think about it, in f your family finds out you committed suicide, how will they feel?"

Allison stared at this guy, somehow she felt familiar with him but she was sure this was their first meeting. And what he said, he was right. How come she didn't think about any of this? It would be too awful to find out that she committed suicide and then again, there was Aliya. God, what was she thinking?

"Please," she looked up at him "...do change your mind. It would be a pity if you left!" He stood up right and gave her a smile then turned to leave.

She sat there for a while until the rain started falling. It felt like her whole world was crumbling gently, what was she going to do?
