Don't push me off the edge.

Chapter one - Derek

Today was going to be the day I grew the balls to say a simple "Hi." To the strange girl at the top of the mountain. I always saw her in my dreams and she was always in my thoughts. I don't think anyone ever went over there to talk. My house had the perfect view of the mountain, the nice green, rocky mountain. It didn't even have a name. Just a beautiful view that you could see from all over town.

I Was glad that it wasn't going to be something that tourists could walk on and visit. That would make it a bit harder to talk and find her. If you looked closely you could see a girl at the edge of a cliff, no one ever said anything about it. But every time I looked over, I looked where she normally sat. High in the mountains. I didn't even know how she got there. I didn't know how anyone could get up there. I honestly couldn't even get a good description of her. I didn't know what she looked like, hell, I didn't even know her name.

It's not that I had a crush on her. I just wanted to know more about her. Where did she go when she wasn't there? Why does she always sit on the big rock? What Was she like? What is her name? How old was she? My mind ran with questions to ask, Not like she cared about me. She didn't know who I was, she didn't know that I saw her. She didn't know I existed. But I knew she did. And that's all that mattered.

As I started walking towards the mountain I wondered how I was going up get to her. She has to have gotten up there somehow right? I walked through the many trees, glad it was a nice summer day. Me wearing my white tank top and some jeans. I wasn't planning on going out but I wasn't planning on saying anything to her either.

I walked over to the rocky part, a little more behind her so she hopefully wouldn't see me. I didn't want her to run away and think I was going to rape her. I personally would never rape a girl. Shit, i didn't even wanna have a family, sure I wanted a wife, but I don't think I cold ever get myself to having a kid.

I started climbing, I never climbed in a tall tree, just a small dinky one that was maybe fifteen feet high. And I have never even attempted climbing a mountain. I just put my feet on the rocks And dirt that looked sterdy enough to hold me, one hundred and fifty three pounds last time I checked, I was a little under weight but that wasn't such a bad thing in this case. I slowly reached every rock That looked okay. I was shaking the whole time. After about ten minutes of terror I managed to pull myself to the flat part of the mountain. This entire mountain was natural and it was shocking how amazing it was. I have never traveled out of the state, so I could only see pictures of other beautiful places. And it seemed there were walk ways that you could go through. But this mountain was different.

I was very quiet walking, I Don't want to disturb her but I didn't want to scare her either what do I even do? what do I say? I walked a little bit as I got closer to her. From what I could see, She had very Long dirty blond hair that was a little bit longer then her chest that were small dang lies that just seem to be one strain of silver. She was curled in a little ball, her arms wrapped around her Legs her chin on her knees. From her back she was wearing a black shirt with short sleeves. and I couldn't tell what she was wearing for bottoms.

She made a loud sigh. Not so much at me, maybe what was on her mind, which I also wanted to know. I felt like a bad stalker.

I Finally managed to say something, Reminding myself that I wasn't going to scare her. " Um, m-may I sit?" You don't stutter you dumbass!

She didn't turn around, she just made the sound " M hmm." As she curled into her ball a little more. Maybe she was afraid, and I hesitated sitting but I did it any way, Not looking at her. I took the time to enjoy the best view.

It was gently made, Earth did very well on creating this. This highland was Amazing, a very nice Alpine look from this view. I didn't know the mountains were so big and long. The mix of big trees, small trees, and there as even a bright blossom tree in the center of the large area of trees. It looked more planted, and there wasn't to many trees around it. It seems that trees were chopped down and then a blossom tree was planted.

I decided to start a conversation, still not looking at her, I didn't want her to think all my attention was on her even though it was. " Pretty, isn't it?" I asked.
