It starts like this. She’s falling. Oh god, what did I do? Her body is quickly tumbling past the side of the cliff, one she’s so stubbornly tossed herself off of. She raises her head to the sky, as she falls down a rabbit hole of her own digging. She isn’t happy. Edward? Or scared. I never thought it would end like this. Or much of anything. Just numb. Everything fled when her second foot left the ground and her body started to tilt, started to sink, painting a mirage of passing colours to her human eyes. Right before she hits the water, her mind sticks to a thought, her 18th birthday, where her mind all too succinctly screams, WHAT IF THINGS WERE DIFFERENT? She wishes she had time to cry. What if HE had never left? She regrets jumping, she doesn’t want to die. What if there was never any reason for him to leave at all? Her thoughts jumble and tumble, they click together like odd matched puzzle pieces spilled across the dining room table, landing on one last never clicking piece.
Would he still love me now? If things were different? Her vision flashes red as her head cracks open.
and then
Everything changes.
