I went to the secluded bridge where we always go. Where we became best friends. I wanted to pick the flowers on the other side, so I had stepped on the bridge.

You had yanked me off of the rotten wood.

Walk out towards the bridge.

I obey hesitantly.

Walk across.

I place one foot in front of the other. The wood strains under my weight. The water makes the bridge slippery.

I make it to the middle.

"(Y/n), what are you doing?!"

I turn and see you standing on the shore covered in sweat, eyes wide. I don't answer you.

Jump.

"(Y/n), walk towards me slowly," you say calmly. You try to hide the fear on your face and fail.

Jump.

Jump.

Jump.

Jump.

The voices chant in my head.

I look down at the racing water and then back up at you.

"(Y/n), please," you plead, "Come back to safety."

I shuffle slowly back to you. You still have panic on your face. I reach the last step. It breaks under my weight.

You grab my waist and throw me to the ground, but loose your balance and fall into the rushing water.
