My mom led me over to the well. 

"Prepare to meet your doom!" She laughed hysterically. She made me stand on the edge of the well. "On the count of three you jump and if you don't, then I'll push you in myself!" She laughed again. I closed my eyes waiting for her to get to three. 

"One..." Tears came to my eyes. 

"Two..." Those tears ran down my cheek.

"THREE!" The tears toppled to the ground and I braced myself to jump. I hesitated. My mom didn't do anything. I looked back at there and caught her in the act of wiping away tears. When she saw me looking at her, she quickly changed her facial expression back to sour and angry. Her hand thrust out and I braced myself for her to push me in, but instead she pulled me off the edge of the well. 

"I want to see you suffer!" She pulled me to the cabin and banged down the door, but I was still alive and that's what mattered.
