So i wrote this story on March 17, 2012 and i like it but i dont know what kind of story I want it to be or what i should title it. HELP!! Here's the story so you can get the idea for it.

Looking into the water, 14 year old Sophie sighs as she wills the water to stop rippling so she can have a better picture of the lights across the way. There is an electric guitar playing over to her left, listening to it is sort of morbid, but it’s at least something good to listen to while she looks at the reflection wondering what else there is in the world for her, she doesn’t have a mother, her father is a worthless piece of s**t who won’t take care of her, and her older brother left the family right after high school and hasn’t been heard from since.
So here she stands wondering what good she is to everyone alive, coming up with nothing she looks at the water again. It’s calming, it ripples again when the wind blow making Sophie shiver and rub her arm gently, as she looks back at the water because it is as black as the night sky. “I wouldn’t jump if that’s what you’re thinking of doing” says a man’s voice startling Sophie which causes her to trip on a loose board but just runs into the railing hard. The man reaches a hand out to help stabilize her but Sophie shoos it away as to say ‘please back off I can handle this on my own.’ Sophie finally stabilizes herself; she then looks at the man who gives her a warm pearly white smile that gives Sophie a very warm feeling inside. The man holds out his hand to her, “I’m Gerald” he says as he waits for Sophie to answer. “I’m Nicole” Sophie says to him still not making any move to shake his hand. Finally lowering his hand Gerald looks around and seeing that they are the only two there on the bridge (minus the guitar player) Gerald smiles at Sophie again but it’s only a closed mouth smile. The wind suddenly picks up a bit making Sophie rub her arm again while shivering a little bit as she looks down at her watch. “well it was nice meeting you, but I must be getting back home” Sophie says she quickly walks away from him not daring to look back.
