The Jump: A Short Story

I really do want to know... did you like it? Did you hate it? Did you think it was weird? All of these can be answered in reviews! I know, it surprised me too.

I knew this was wanted, and needed, to do. I had some false hope that Chase wouldn’t try to stop me today. But, no worries, it was only false. He would never see the reason behind my doing this but, neither did I. All I knew that this was right for me. My sleek, black SUV slid to a stop when I reached the cliffs. I got out and walked to the highest point of the cliffs. It was chilly today and I thought that it would maybe rain. I was about ready to jump when I saw him. Embry was running toward me like his life depended on it. His attempt was futile, though.

“Stop!” he yelled.

“I am sorry, Chase. You never would let my cliff dive,” I whispered. I braced myself and jumped.

I tried to scream but the wind wouldn’t let the air out of my mouth. Nobody ever had told me how fun cliff diving was. Now I knew. It was amazing! That was, until I hit the water. This was the only part that I hadn’t really thought about. My legs hit the water so hard I wouldn’t doubt if they were broken. The current and I fought with my desire to stay afloat and unfortunately, the current won. It was more peaceful and placid then I thought it would be. I thought that I was dying, but I still wasn’t sure. The more I tried, the weaker I got. So, I stopped. Stopped trying, it was just to much for me. I made my very last attempt then officially gave up. It was all over now. Then, everything went black.

Just wrote this down in my little ‘writer’s group’ in school. And no, you twilight fans, I didn’t steal the name Embry. Stephanie doesn’t own that name. And, Do you think that the protagonist, whose name is unknown, lives? Figure it out for yourself because I am NOT telling.

Seth

P.S Would I kill my own character? Maybe...
