I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

The sweet-hearted Canadian began to walk home. He loved his country very much but he was...lonely. No one noticed him, if they did it was to only to mistake him for his energetic and better brother. It hurt.

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

It was nighttime in Canada, the moon shone and the stars glistened in the darkness. Matthew smiled dryly to himself. Even the moon wasn't alone, it had its friends the stars. All Matthew had was a polar bear, and Kuma...Kumajiro? He started to feel bad for his polar bear because he had forgotten how to say its name!

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

Arthur, Francis, even his own brother forgot about him! Maybe he should just disappear, besides no one would notice...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone

Matthew chuckled as he saw his shadow. He wasn't alone. he had his shadow, but it couldn't talk nor could it leave him. It was with him by force.

"It's just you and I, eh?" he remarked.

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

He thought of an idea. A stupid and heartless idea, but still. It never hurt to try. He walked through his beloved country and managed to stop at the Bloor Viaduct. He propped himself on the railing and breathed in.

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

He was going to end it. End all this misery and make others notice him. Matthew felt his eyes release cold salty tears and his mouth trembled. But he was going to do it. He expanded his arms like a bird and felt the wind blow. Then he leaned forward and felt warm.

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

What Matthew awoke to was not pleasant. He found himself in a bed, a very soft bed. He didn't know what room or place he was in because bandages were wrapped over his head and over his eyes. It stank of medicine and musky blood. He heard the irritating beeping of a heart monitor.

A hospital.

Matthew tried to see what was hurt and what was fine. He moved his arms. Fine. He shuffled his legs. They were alright to. But his head ached, he must have hit it on someone. He was scared and defenseless.

"H-Hello? Anyone there? Hello?" he called weakly.
No reply.

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

Matthew started to cry. He was alone. No one cared, no one. They only saved him to let him suffer even more. This was horrible.

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone

His heart was beating rapidly due to stress. He wanted someone. He needed someone.

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

"Where is he? Where is my bro?!" a loud voice shouted.
"Silence you bloody git! Excuse us but where is Matthew Williams?" a British accent joined.
"'Ello mon chérie. Do you know where 'is room is?" a sweeter voice asked.

Francis! Alfred! Arthur! They were here. Looking for him! A nurse whispered something and they walked away. Had she mislead them on purpose? Now he was alone again so he started to cry softly.

I walk alone
I walk a...

"Excuse me? Are you awake?" a sweet voice asked.
"H-Hello?" he managed.

He heard footsteps in his direction. Gentle hands removed his bandages so he could see. He saw an angel. Her hair shined brighter than the white background, her eyes had a serene look in them and her smile was worth more than any amount of money known.

"Are you an angel?" he thought out loud.
"Heehee. Nope I'm just ______. Far from any angel." she answered playfully.
"I-I said that out loud?" he gasped blushing and started to hide his face.
"Yep. But dear you don't have to hide your blush. It's pretty cute." she said.
"C-Cute?" he asked.
"A-Ah. That must have been a bit flirtatious. I apologize that wasn't my intention." she nervously responded.
"It's no problem." he relaxed.
"Alright." she smiled.
"But I have a question for you." he brought up.
"And that is?" she pressed.
"Did you save me?" he asked quietly.

A moment passed. Before she answered.

"Yes." she stated.
"Why?" he added.
"Because..." she trailed.
"Because?" he repeated.

She rolled up her sleeves and showed him scars. They were thin but noticeable. He gasped. How could this angel do something like that?

"I am like you."

Flashback....

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...


______ walked to the Bloor Viaduct. She wanted to end it. The countless tears, the constant pain. It was hell on earth for her. She silently cried as she managed to find herself at the bridge. She saw someone with a similar idea to hers.

She suddenly found the need to help him. He leaned forward but she ran and pulled him down. He fell on the sidewalk and his head started to bleed a little. She dialed 911 and the ambulance came. Then she smiled and realized something.

She saved a life.


My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'til then I walk alone...


"Let's make a promise." he proposed.
"And that promise is?" she asked.
"We'll keep each other happy." Matthew smiled as he shyly reached for her hand and held it.
"Deal." she smiled and kissed his cheek.

Extended Ending~

"Finally we found Matthew's room!" Arthur exclaimed as the three walked in.

They found Matthew holding hands with a mysterious beautiful girl. They were both smiling and talking, they stopped as France cleared his throat.


"Francis, Alfred, Arthur...meet my savior and angel ______"
I have depression so I write depressing stories. I apologize but I can't change the way I write. This is based on a dream I had. I was walking on a bridge going to jump off when I saw another person getting ready to jump. I hate the idea of others in pain or dying so I saved him from jumping but he was injured in the process. In the hospital he asked why I saved him and I showed him my arms and said 'I am like you'. 

Anyways, so I wrote this and chose Canada. Canada is always dubbed as 'Forgotten' or 'Unnoticeable'. I hate those feelings as well and felt bad for him. Besides if I wrote an America one-shot why couldn't I write a Canada one-shot? I chose the song 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' because it's a song about being lonely and hopeless. 

Also Bloor Viaduct is a real place called the Prince Edward Viaduct but is officially called Rosedale Valley Phase of the Prince Edward Viaduct System. It was a bridge famous in Canada for suicide(Yes I do my research). However because of the barriers the suicides decreased. That is all.

Sorry if I made anyone cry :cheer up hug:
