OK SO, yes this used to be just 'Please Don't Jump' but I decided since I write sooooooo many one shots based upon songs that I should put them together under one topic so they can be found easily and I can keep track of them. Helps prevent me spamming the forum with my stuff anyway. So most of you have read the oneshot below but I've just posted a new one, check it out and keep an eye out for more songfic oneshots (i'll include the name of the song in the title with each new oneshot!). There one shots are completely
UNRELATED i.e. you don't have to read all of them to understand the storyline in another. Here's the official stuff:
Summary: A collection of one shots I've written based upon the moods inspired within me by certain songs
Rating: Will change with each fic but it won't be highed than PG-13
Warnings: Will vary depending upon each fic but I will do a little blurb per fic to let you know what's in it.
----------------------------
Summary: And if all that can't hold you back...then I'll jump for you. Everyone's seen the Spring Nicht video where Bill tries to save himself but what if that was only a metaphor, what if he was trying to save someone else who was a part of him?
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Swearing.
Tom stared out across the vast expanse of the city, looking on in wonder as the lights twinkled brilliantly in the darkness. From here, the whole city spanned before him; magically illuminated by thousands of miniscule lights. No sounds could reach him up hear, not the sounds of cars rushing past down below or the sounds of life beneath him. It was silent, calm, still. He felt so alone up here, like he was the only person alive in this town.
A light breeze drifted along and ruffled his overlarge t-shirt, causing goose bumps to erupt across his bare forearms. He shivered impulsively and wrapped his arms around his chest in order to preserve some of the warmth.
He closed his eyes, blocking out the sight of the world down below. He hung his head in despair and felt a slow tear trickle out from the corner of his eyes, trailing down his cheek before being whipped away by the harsh wind.
He made the decision then and there, standing upon this rooftop, that tonight the world would end.
Down below, far beyond the reaches of his imagination, a large crowd of people had gathered, along with three fire trucks, an ambulance and a few police cars. A section directly in front of the building had been cordoned off, keeping people away from the building.
They were watching him, this boy; this child of no more than eighteen, standing on the rooftop edge, swaying with the breeze. They were waiting for him to jump, every single person thinking the same thing; ‘why?’. Why was this boy so adamant about taking his own life? Why was he doing this? Why didn’t he want to try and live? Why was he giving up?
They had tried to help him. Had tried to call out for him, to reason with him, but whether he couldn’t hear them or he refused to listen, they weren’t sure. All attempts at coercing him to come back down, to put both feet on solid ground had failed miserably and now they stood here, waiting for the inevitable jump, the inevitable fall, the inevitable death. From such a height, this boy would die immediately, his life would be eradicated and he would be no more.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, followed by the sound of a scream.
“
TOM!!” a male voice called out. “Oh god, please, no, Tom!”
A man clothed in a long black coat suddenly burst through the crowd. Two police officers were desperately trying to hold him back, not wanting him to go into the building and make things worse. He fought determinedly against them, his long black hair whipping around his face as he struggled with all his might to free himself all the while screaming his brother’s name over and over, voice piercing through the dark night desperately, needing to reach Tom before it was too late.
He managed to slip through their grasp and before they could grab a hold of him once more, two muscular boys stepped out from the crowd and blocked their access.
The black haired boy smiled gratefully at his two friends before racing forwards, bursting through the bright yellow police tape. He ran as fast as he could through the crowd, pushing whoever stood before him out of his way, not caring who he hurt, only caring for his brother.
He made it into the building and began to race up the stairs, ignoring the burning pain in his tired legs and gasping for air as he ran.
Back on top of the roof, Tom stood still, statuesque, staring down at the world below him. He had seen the commotion, just barely, but he had seen it none the less. They were ready for him to come down and meet them; they were ready for him to jump. He inhaled deeply, allowing the frozen air to fill his lungs, savouring what could possibly be his last breath.
Suddenly the roof door flew open. He turned slightly on the spot and stared in shock as the familiar flurry of black that was his brother approached him.
“Tom, Tomi,” his brother began. “Please, Tom, what are you doing?”
“What does it look like, Bill?” Tom replied, turning away from his brother, refusing to look at him as tears cascaded down his cheeks. “I’m about to try and fly.”
“Why?” Bill asked. “Why are you doing this Tomi? How can you do this?”
“I need to do this Bill,” Tom replied. “I need to leave; I can’t stay here any longer.”
“Why not?”
“What’s the point? I have nothing left to live for anyway.”
“Yes you do Tomi!” Bill replied in exasperation.
“Like what?” Tom’s voice was lifeless, emotionless; dead.
“Your career, your fans, what about your family,” Bill begged. “You have everything to live for, Tom.”
“I have nothing Bill, no love, no life, nothing but meaningless sex with meaningless girls.”
“That’s what this is about?” Bill asked incredulously. “About not having a girl to be with? About not having love?”
“Love is everything Bill, you’ve always said that to me, I thought you of all people would understand this,” Tom replied dejectedly.
“What about me, Tom, you have
my love!” Bill replied angrily. “What about me?”
“That’s different, your love doesn’t count, you
have to love me, I’m your brother,” Tom replied, his voice bereft of any emotion. “You’ll be better off when I’m gone anyway. No more disgusting, chauvinistic Tom to hold you back. Things will be better for you when I’m dead.”
“
FUCK YOU!” Bill roared as Tom’s words hit him. Tom’s eyes widened in surprise at his brother’s outburst; the first sign of emotion Tom had shown in a long time. “Fuck you, you piece of shit, I will never be better off without you! You are everything to me Tom! How the hell can you say that?”
“Its true Bill, I can see it,” Tom said, sighing as he spoke. “You’ll understand, in time.”
“Please Tom, just come down from there, we’ll go somewhere and talk, we’ll sort this out just please don’t leave me,” Bill begged, eyes pleading with Tom. “Take my hand Tomi, please, just one chance. We’ll make things better just don’t jump.”
Tom shook his head and turned on the spot. Bill sighed in relief, believing Tom had finally seen the truth and was truly going to get away from the roof edge and come with him. Seconds later, he knew he was wrong. He watched as Tom shuffled closer to the edge.
“Tom, wait,” Bill pleaded. Tom paused in his movements and watched as Bill stepped forward. His eyes widened as Bill climbed up onto the ledge with him.
“Bill, what the hell are you doing?” Tom asked incredulously.
“I’m coming with you,” Bill replied simply, positioning himself at the edge.
“Like fuck you are!” Tom said angrily. “Get off the fucking ledge and get out of here!”
Bill shook his head adamantly, his hair bristling with the movement. “Not without you.”
“Bill, what the hell! You’ll die!”
“So will you,” Bill replied. “You wouldn’t come down, Tom, so I came up here.”
“Why?”
“It’s simple, I do what you do.”
“But you’ll die Bill!”
“Good, I want to.”
“Why?”
Bill rolled his eyes and sent his brother a patronizing look. “We came into this world together Tom and we will leave it together.” He grasped Tom’s hand within his own to prove his point.
“Don’t be stupid.”
“I’m not, I’m being serious,” Bill stated. “You want to die, then so do I. I’ll jump for you Tom, I’ll jump with you. You will never be alone,
we will never be alone. Without you, my life is meaningless. Without you, I don’t exist. Without Tom, there is no Bill.”
“What about Georg and Gustav? Mum? Tokio Hotel?” Tom begged, needing for Bill to get off the ledge, he couldn’t lose his little brother.
Bill shrugged in response. “None of that matters without you Tom. Without you there is no Tokio Hotel, without you I have no family, no friends, I have nothing without you Tom. So if you go, I go.”
“Please Bill; you have your whole life ahead of you.”
“Tomi, without you, I have no life,” Bill replied. He gripped Tom’s hand tightly. “Remember, together forever, even in death.”
“Please, don’t jump Bill.”
“Don’t jump Tom.”
“I have to.”
“Then so do I. I’ll jump for you Tom, for nothing else but you. Are you ready?”
“
NO!” Tom screamed. “No Bill, don’t jump please, please, don’t jump.”
Tom began to sob; deep, heart wrenching sobs, begging Bill not to jump, not to leave him. Bill’s grip on Tom’s hand loosened and Tom’s eyes snapped open, fearing his brother had jumped.
Standing before him was Bill, black rivulets running down his cheeks where his tears had caused his make-up to run.
“I won’t jump Tom, if
you don’t.”
Tom nodded and collapsed forward off the ledge into Bill’s outstretched hands. The two fell to the floor in a tangle of arms and legs. Tom wrapped his arms tightly around Bill, needing to feel his warmth, his life. Bill embraced Tom in return, feeling the need to protect him, to prove to him he is loved.
Tom kissed his brother on the forehead and looked deep into his eyes. “Don’t ever leave me Bill, please.”
“I never will, Tom. Even in death I would have been by your side. Forever, remember?”
“Forever!” Tom repeated, embracing his brother once more, needing his heat.
They lay upon the roof for a while, comforting each other, promising to never leave the other, while the world lay so far beneath them, out of view.
ENDESo, what you think? I was gonna end it with Bill and Tom jumping, but I couldn't, I love them too much! Plus I know neither would ever let the other jump so they saved themselves.
Anyway, please let me know what you think!
