Ferris Wheel (S)

I was walking around the campus when Alex saw me. I quickly turned around and ran away. "Wait up!" He caught up to me and jerked me to him. "Let me go." I said coldly.

This guy had cheated on me at my 16th birthday. It's been 2 years since. "Come on, Val, will you ever forgive me?" He whispered. He sounded desperate. "No. The wound ran deep. And to think that I trusted you!" I released myself and yelled at him. He looked really frustrated. "I've apologized thousand times! Why won't you let go?!" He also lost his patience. "Mom was right! I should never have dated you!" He ran a hand through his hair, a habit when he's annoyed.

Tears immediately clouded my eyes. "At least you have your parents..." I said softly. "What do you mean?!" He snapped. "My parents died in an accident last year, Al." I said. "What?" His eyes widened. "What about Zach?"

Zach was my brother. "He left me and went to California 6 months ago." I said, tears streaming down my face. I don't know why I'm telling all if this to Alex. "Shit, I'm sorry..." He said, looking down. A small smile tugged at my lips, looking at him like this.

Alex became better to me. In no time, we came back together. We were riding in a ferris wheel when my phone beeped. It was from Claire, Zach's girlfriend. It said, "Veronica, I don't know how to say this to you. But, your brother is sleeping, forever. - Claire."

In shocked, I dropped my phone. "What? What's wrong?" Alex asked, worry clouding his face. "M.. My bro... Dead..." I trembled. He immediately knew what happened. He comforted me, saying soothing words. When I got home, I bursted into tears.

The next thing I know, I was sitting in a ferris wheel, dangling in the air. It was dark and there's no one around. I don't know how I got here. "Veronica!" I heard a faint voice calling up to me. I looked down and saw a figure waving wildly at me. It was Alex. "Don't do it!" He screamed. Do what?

I leaned forward in order to yell at him, but the safety bar suddenly broke and I fell from the ferris wheel. Alex quickly ran to save me. But he was a second too late.

I guess dying is not so bad, I got so see my family again after all.
