When The Heart Guides The Hand (Johnilyn)

Prologue

"Do you trust me?" Leo held out his hand, waiting for me to grab on.

"Yeah." I answered honestly.

"Then you have nothing to be afraid of." He grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

I wrapped my arm around him as he led me to the ledge. The sunset was beautiful. Nothing could be better than the sunset in Florida. Well... except for him.

I loved him more than I loved myself, he was my everything. Leo was one of the only people I could talk to, and he got me, more than anyone I had met in my entire life.

He nuzzled into me as the sun lowered into the ocean. He looked up at me and closed his eyes, waiting for me to kiss him. What a dork. I connected our lips, and he wrapped his arms around me.

"I love you, Johnny." He whispered when we pulled away.

"I love you too."

My father said that I was too young to know what love was, too young to know who I loved. But I loved Leo, and I was certain of it. Nobody could tell me that I was wrong.

We watched as the sun dissappeared, leaving us looking at a sky that was becoming darker by the second. He took my hand and led me over to the edge.

"Let's do what they did in the Titanic." He started to get up onto the ledge, but I stopped him.

"Leo, it's dangerous."

"How many times do I have to ask you? Do you trust me?"

I nodded, and he kissed me on the lips before climbing up. I wrapped my arms around his waist tightly, and he rested his head on my shoulder.

"We need music." He muttered.

"No, we need to get off the roof." I told him before proceeding to pull him back to the rooftop.

"No." He snickered and pushed me back.

I fell down as he stood there, taunting me. He was dangerously close to the edge. "Leo, please get down." I practically begged as I got to my feet.

"Why? Do you think I'm gonna fall or something?" I nodded. "I'm not. Watch."

He started to do a little dance, then he slipped. It all happened so fast. "Leo!" I called out. He screamed something before he hit the ground. I got off the roof and ran down to where he was, only to scar myself even farther.

It hit him so fast, with a speed that seemed impossible. I choked out a sob as I knelt down beside Leo and clutched his hand, stopping traffic.

"Johnny." Leo groaned and squeezed my hand.

"Baby?" I kissed him. "Are you alright?"

"No." I kissed him again, ignoring the blood. "I love you, Johnny. Never forget that."

He closed his eyes, and his breathing slowed. Tears were streaming down my face as people got out of their cars to see what was happening.

"Leo, please." I checked his pulse, which was barely there. "Please, I love you so much."

Then, the pulse stopped. He was no longer breathing. I wailed as the sound of sirens echoed through the streets. I clung to his hand and refused to let go when the paramedics got there.

That was the day my life changed, and it hasn't been the same since.
