Jessica's POV:

Until you're broken, you don't know what you are made of.
It gives you the ability to build yourself all over again, but stronger than ever...

We all have demons. Our demons want to see us fail they want to break us down, day by day until all hope is lost. They want to take over completely they feel that it is their dying need to control your every move. They sit back and watch the monster they have created as you spiral into a downfall that is too late to get back up from. You feel that there is no other way to live than to die, that is your very own way of escaping your demons, unless you know how to control your demon, to know how to lock them up and keep them from getting to you.

I've always wanted to control my demon. But I've never been able to grasp it, I'm starting to wonder if I have more than one demon, and I've just never had the strength to fight them off. I stand, still in time, the blackness engulfing me. I feel nothing, no pain, no emotions I'm completely numb to everything. I'm not even sure if I'm real anymore. I feel gone I feel something I haven't felt in forever. I feel free. I feel happy. I finally have no worries, nothing to kick me when I'm down. Is this what it feels like to be dead? I feel so alive, so clear. My conscious is clear I'm finally free of everything. But I hear a faint noise, its so faint I'm not even sure I can hear it. And I feel a very sharp pain in my head. What's going on?

Brandon's POV:
I can't believe it. Why would she do something like that? I drop to my knees unable to speak. Was it because of me and Callie? This is all my fault. I look up at Andy, he's consumed by his own thoughts. He's staring at the bloody rock, mumbling something here and there. I grab the railing so hard my knuckles turn white and I scream as loud as I can.
Andy snaps his head towards me and looks at me like I am crazy, and then his look softens. A tear escapes my eye.
"We don't know for sure." Andy mumbles.
"Yes we do!" I shout hysterically. "We both know that she jumped!" I scream again pulling myself off the ground and pointing at the rock. More tears fall from my eyes, blurring my vision.
"Its all my fault!" I scream hitting the rail as hard as I can with my fist. I hit it three more times, and Andy grabs my wrist.
"Stop. It's not your fault." He says in a deep voice.

I quickly pull my fist away,
"Yes it is! I shouldn't have let her go! But I was stupid and careless! I failed! You may have mad a promise to her, but I've sworn to protect her from every harm. You don't know how many beatings I took from our father, trying to protect her and our mom. I failed with our mom and now I have failed with my sister. I am nothing without her." I turn around so he don't see me.
"I failed." I whisper, dropping to my knees, another tear falling. Andy sighs and it goes silent for a few seconds and then he says something.
"Yes, my name is Andy Biersack....Yes I think a girl I know might have jumped off a bridge......No, I don't....." I zone out, closing my eyes. I remember how after I would get into a fight with dad, Jessica would always sit on my lap and read me stories. She especially loved reading me Hansel and Grettle. She said that she always wished we had a dad like that. I can't believe she's gone. I feel tapping on my shoulder and look up to see Andy and a police officer. What, when did they get here? I quickly stand up and look around. There are three police cars, and a ambulance. There are a few dogs too.

"Did you want to come with us to search for her?" The police officer asks. I nod my head and follow him and Andy. We walk off the bridge and walk down to the side bank below. We walk along the bank of the water, the water rips and roars, it thrashes around. Is splashes around, spraying water on the three of us. We walk about 70 feet and then I hear the dogs bark frantically. We run up to them and see what they're barking at. My heart breaks at the horrifying sight. In the middle of the river on a little island lays a small, bloody Jessica. Andy and I both gasp.Her body is curled up, there is dark blood all over her face and everywhere. Her mouth is parted slightly and I can't tell if she's breathing or not. She's pale, very pale, and her face is blank. She's not moving at all.
"Jessica!" I scream out. I look around, maybe I can jump. I step back a few steps and Andy grabs me.
"Get off of me!" I scream and flail.

"Stop, its not safe." He says, but I can barley hear because of the water and my screaming.
"I don't care! She's my sister!" I scream trying so hard to get out of his grip, but he's too strong. After a few seconds of struggling I stop and drop to the ground. Andy lets go and I put my head in my hands, crying. After a few minutes, firefighters show up with a latter. They quickly place it across the the bank and the island and make sure its stable. The firefighter is about to go across but I stand up.
"Stop!" I yell. Everybody stops and turns to me.
"I want to do it." I say, my voice cracking. Everybody but Andy looks at me like I am crazy. Andy has a look of understanding.
"We can't do that....." The firefighter starts but Andy cuts him off.
"Let him do it." The firefighter hesitates for a second but then nods and steps off the latter. I slowly make my way to the latter and I step on it.

I breathe in and out slowly as I make my way across the slippery bars. I make it to the end of the latter and I stop. A tear slips out of my eye as I bend over and I pick her up. Dirt and blood cover her face. Her wet and tangled hair is all over her face, stuck in the dried blood. Hr body is so small and its freezing cold. I turn around and quickly walk back to the bank. As soon as I touch the bank, paramedics rush to me. They quickly take her and put her on the stretcher.
"We got a pulse! But its weak!" One of the paramedics yell out. Relief floods over me and Andy sighs loudly. They place a cover over her and strap her in, then they place an oxygen mask on her and put her in the ambulance.
"Would y'all like to ride with her?" The paramedic asks. We both nod and climb in. The ambulance speeds off with the sirens blaring. We sit beside her. while the paramedic checks her vitals. Even through all the dirt and blood you can see her very pale skin. I grab her hand, holding tight and I notice that she is shaking violently.

"Is she going to be alright?" I ask, looking up at him.
"Umm...I...Um.." He stutters.
"The truth." Andy says.
"There is a big possibility that she could die, she has lost a lot of blood and she could have gotten hypothermia." He says going back to work on Jessica. I look at Andy and he's lost back in his thoughts again. I look down at my hands and see that her blood is all over me. A few tears fall from my eyes.
"Please Jessica, I can't loose you too."

Jessica's POV:

My head is killing me, and I'm freezing. The black is gone and is now white. So white it hurts my eyes. i can hear a faint beeping, and it sounds like someone is talking but it is muffled. What is going on? This is so frustrating. I walk around for what seems like forever, but all I can see is blurring lights. "Somebody! Anybody! Brandon! I need you..." I miss home, I miss Brandon, I miss Andy, Callie, mom.... I miss everything. My life is not that good, but at least I was not alone. I'm lost, stuck in this whiteness, I have nowhere to go. I am nothing now....

Brandon's POV:

We arrive at the hospital and the doctors rush her into emergency and make us wait outside in the waiting room. Andy sits in the chair, but I stand up pacing back and forth. After about an our and a half of pacing, the doctor comes out. Andy and I both rush up to him.
"Please tell me she's okay..." I mumble and Andy nods. The doctor sighs and gives a sad look.
"Mr. Alburn....Jessica is in a coma..."

Notes

Oh My God, I am so sorry it took this long, school is stressing me out.
Tell me what y'all think, I think this chapter was a little depressing. :(
