"I won't let you stand in my way."

Feeling a firm shove, I felt the ground beneath me dissipate and the only thing I could feel was the crisp morning air on my back.

I was pushed.

Seeing her figure disappear hurt because deep down I knew, there would be no justice for what she did.

She got away with murder and for what?

Suddenly numbness envelops me and my memories flicker before my eyes.

Childhood.

Family.

Friends.

Fears.

Meeting Him

Meeting Her..

Everything was just... there.

I could only muster a wry smile.

I'm glad that I lived as best as I could, but...

Well...

Today I planned on confessing my feelings, my love, for him.

It's the only thing I hesitated to do in life, all because of her.

She was in love with him and threatened me into keeping quiet.

Maybe she was scared because she knew that if I confessed, her game would be over.

I don't know, but maybe that's just my way of feeling better about it all.

Better about.. dying.

I was just, just so terrified of her.

Intimidated mostly and I just kept discouraging myself.

Until today of course.

Exhaling for the last time, I shut my eyes.

My only regret is doubting myself.

Turning on the TV, he stirs his cup of coffee, brooding over a certain someone.

This certain, someone, is the only girl that he's thought of since meeting her. That fiery, sweet, smiling beauty that he planned on finally asking out.

Today, he would throw caution to the wind and show her what they could be.

It took 3 days, a horrible hangover, and a serious pep talk from the bros, but it's happening.

Before he can talk himself out of it, he picks up his phone and dials her number.

His heart starts pounding against his chest in anticipation. What'll she say? Will she agree? They've had this flirty type of friendship for a while, so-

"Breaking news. At approximately 2:45 PM today-"

He falls out of his daze when her name etched in stark white contrasts with the sharp red of the reel.

"... Jumped off of the City State Skyscraper, and died on impact. There was one witness and sh-"

And with that, his cup drops to the ground,

shattering on impact.
