Jerry's POV
"Hey Lucy, how you holding up?"
"Hey Jerry, I'm doing okay I guess... I just really miss her and dad you know"
"Yeah, I understand. Would you like me to hang around for a bit just for a little comfort?"
"No I should be fine Jerr, thanks though. I really appreciate it"
"Okay, if you need anything call or text. I mean anything, even if it's just to open a jar of jelly. I'm here for you with whatever you need"
"Thank you so much. I'll see you around okay?"
"Yeah see ya"

After getting home, I clean up my house a little and decide to go out for a late evening walk.
The air is fresh and the birds are starting to quiet down a little, everything is just so peaceful. Even the hustle and bustle of the traffic calms my nerves, this city is just great. But there is one thing that's still on my mind. Lucy.
For the past 3 weeks she's been all I could think about. She's just so beautiful, inside and out. I just wish she would take the time of day to even consider going to dinner with me but I doubt she'd ever say yes, especially now. I've had a crush on her since the first day she walked through our office doors, I am ecstatic that we're co producing a film together.
I knew she'd never like me because she was married and so in love with David. He had the perfect woman and he just threw it all away for some other girl. The stupidity of some people is beyond comprehension. Why would he want to ruin such a good thing? He had the life. A loving wife with a stable job who let him live his dream of being a chef, she didn't mind when he had to work late, he could also hang out with his buddies without being questioned, what else could he possibly want?
With that in mind I walk home and stop at a pizza joint on the way.

Getting up fairly early I decide to visit Lucy just incase she needs anything. When I arrive I see her getting into her car. I follow her to the Colombian center. (I don't know why but my body's telling me too. I know, this sounds totally creepy.) I notice her holding two urns, one for her mother and one for her father I guess.
She goes inside with me not too far behind and joins a tour group. I do the same as her staying hidden from view. I notice her slip away from the group and head to the exit, confused I follow but stay by the door as I see her go to the edge of the building. For a second my heart beats hard against my ribcage but I then see her spread the ashes and calm down.
It's quite a beautiful site watching her spread her parents ashes. I stay silent and watch her farewell her parents when she suddenly slips. I feel this sudden urge to run after her when I force my feet to stay planted, I see her regain her balance and with a pounding heart I start to smile. She stands there for a while looking out at the scenery and I wonder what she's thinking. She's probably thinking about how beautiful a place to spread her parents ashes. She just looks so beautiful looking down and around.
I see her fingers twitch and slowly start to walk towards her but stop to observe her. I see her walk right up to the railing and I creep forward hoping she isn't going to do what I think she'll do. I see her jump and my feet move faster than my brain can process what's happening. I reach the edge of the building and stretch my arms out and wrap my hands around her forearm. My heart is pounding so loudly that I think she can hear it. I stare down at her with shock and pain in my eyes, tears brimming at my lash lines. Is her life that horrible that she would do this to herself? My heart breaks just looking at her.
Lucy's POV
I feel a sharp pain in my forearm and flash my eyes open and I look up. Jerry is holding my arm, looking down at me with tear stained cheeks. My heart breaks a little more looking at the pain in his eyes and tears begin to fall.
"Lucy give me your other arm. Please I need you."
His words hurt my heart and with all my might I swing my other arm up and he grabs it. My hearts is pounding so hard that I think it's going to burst.
Jerry pulls me up over the railing and we land on the building in a sitting position. I lay my head on his chest and start weeping. I hear his heart beating erratically and more tears force their way out. Jerry and I stay there for a while crying together.
"Lucy, I love you. I have always loved you and always will. I don't know what I would've done if you had died. Please don't ever do that again, I'm always here for you no matter what. I love you with my whole heart"
"How did you know I was here?"
"I saw you leave your house this morning. I was coming over for a visit to see if you needed anything and followed you here. I wasn't stalking I just wanted to see if you were okay. Thank goodness I followed you"
"Yes. Thank you so much Jerry. I'd always had a soft spot for you and now I realize it's because I have feelings for you. I know my feelings aren't as strong as yours bu-
"Shhh, you don't have to say anything Lucy. I don't care if you don't love me as much as I love you but I'll always be here for you even as a friend if that's all you want"
"No. I want to be more than friends Jerry. But is it okay if we take it slow?"
"Of course it is. Lucy you're perfect and I am the most luckiest being in the entire universe. Thank you"
"No, Thank you for saving me"
"No probl-
Without thinking I cut him off, pressing my lips softly to his. His lips are so soft. I pull away and look at him.
"Wanna try that again Luce?"
"Definitely"
Our lips meet again with so much passion that my heart flutters. Jerry kisses me harder making this moment the best thing to happen in my life. Why didn't I notice him earlier?
"Jerry, I'm glad I met you"
"I'm glad I met you too"
