Brotherly Love [Discontinued]

Chapter 18

*Jay's POV*

Ashley is about to jump off a building. Her long hair is flowing in the breeze. If wasn't for the fact she was threatening to take her life, I would say she looks so beautiful and amazing right now. She looks serious, but she can't be. She knows that if she dies I am dieing with her, right? Is she really doing this? Will she really jump off this building? Where is Jake? And why was he so mean to her?

"Okay, okay. Calm down. I won't take another step," Brittany said cautiously. "Please just you don't either."

"Beautiful please come here," I said trying to get her off the ledge and trying not to break down crying. I reached out my hands.

"No Jay! Don't you understand I am making Jake's dreams come true," she said a little false happiness in her voice.

"No, he didn't mean what he said! He would be devastated if you died."

"How do you know?"

"I don't, but I do know that you are making my worse nightmares come true right now. I am begging you please don't jump."

"I don't care. I am jumping. I am going to get rid of my father's mistake, of Jake's burden, of Jay's regretted love. I am.."

"Going to kill my soul."

"What are you talking about?"

"If you jump, I am jumping with you," I said all seriousness shown on my face.

"No, Jay you won't."

"Yes, I will. I would rather die with you like this than die without you any other way."

"I won't allow you to. You have so much to live for. You're a hot, athletic 16-year-old boy."

"And you are a beautiful, amazing girl."

"What do I have to do to get you not to jump."

"You could not jump."

"I am going to jump!"

I walked forward and climbed up on the ledge. I stood right next to Ashley and started to bend my legs as if I was going to dive off the building.

"Get down Jay."

"Not until you do."

There was true fear and tears in those gorgeous blue eyes of hers just at he thought of me killing myself. She stepped down and I followed right behind her. She turned around and hugged me. She started to cry even harder then she already was in my arms.

"Ssh. It's okay. It's okay. I've got you."

"Ttt.hhh.aaa.nnn.kk..yyy.oooo.u," she sobbed.

"It's okay."

"I'm sorry."

"Ssh. Don't worry about it. I'm here now. I've got you. I won't let you go."

She stopped crying and looked up at me.

"You promise?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die. Actually I guess I should say hope not to die."

She smiled a little. She got on her tiptoes and gave me a small peck on the lips. At this point I realized that about 10 nurses were up here with us. Jake walked out from behind one of the nurses. He extended his arms to Ashley. She ran to him and gave him a gigantic hug. She started to cry again. She was telling him she was so sorry and explaining that she didn't know where half of the stuff she said came from. He just kept hugging her and telling her it was okay. That's more like the Jake I know. Protector of All.

The only thing is why is he looking at me with pure rage in his eyes?
