120 Days Left

XXIV // CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

Once we finished our drinks and had a good time, Phoenix paid for everything and told me that we should get going.

The date was nice, we had fun and thank goodness, no waiter decided to hit on me and Phoenix didn't punch someone. 

We got out of the café, and he asked me if I wanted to go somewhere else before we finish that adrenaline thing.

I said no, because I was eager to know how I'll get my adrenaline pumped today. I doubt that he'll be able to do anything about it.

I don't know why, but I don't feel that rush of excitement that everyone talks about before doing something adventurous.

I guess I'm just a cold bitch.

We rode his bike and I put my head on his back, wondering what he has in mind for this

I thought about all the possible things that he might do. 

Scaring me, making me go on a roller coaster without a belt..

 faking an accident while we're driving and act like the engine broke. Although that would be scary and it'd definitely get me the rush, I hope he won't do it.

I couldn't think of anything else and he doesn't want to tell me. He said that it'll spoil everything. So, I gave up and waited until we reached our location.

We were now parked in front of a tall building. It's super tall and it looks like a skyscraper. What would we possibly do there?

"Where are we?" I asked. And he replied with "In front of a building, duh"

Wow, what an extraordinary observer.

I rolled my eyes at his stupidity, and he laughed at me. "Let's just go" He said, grabbing my hand and heading to the elevator.

I'm getting used to holding his hands more now, it's like we need to hold hands every time we walk together.

I certainly don't mind it.

We got in the elevator, and he pressed the last floor. The rooftop.

"Do you plan on throwing me from an 80 stories building?" I asked, half jokingly and half seriously. And he only responded with a "You never know, sugar"

The doors of the elevator was now opened, and we're on the rooftop.

I would be lying if I said that the view didn't blow my mind, the wind was colder up here and the sky couldn't be more clear. Also, they had a lot of plants and flowers up here.

This looks like the rooftop from high school musical where Troy and Gabriella danced at.

I was enjoying how beautiful the rooftop was until I saw a huge scary looking man that had something in his hands, a rope I guess, and Phoenix was heading to him.

I followed him and thought, What the hell..

The man introduced himself, but I didn't pay attention. He looked tough and scary. And when he shook my hands and I was pretty sure that one of my bones is now in a different position.

"..Um.. Phoenix?" I started saying when the man gave me something that looked like a safe jacket, tied with a rope.

"Sugar, no questions please that's the whole point. I'm not killing you so trust me" He said and smirked at me.

"Am I bungee jumping?" I asked the man and he completely ignored me. Phoenix saw that then laughed.

"No, you're not. You just need to stand there and not fall. The jacket is for safety" The man said. 

He checked everything on me and then stood beside Phoenix, I was confused now.

I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there thinking about how high up I am. If I fell it would be fatal that's for sure.

And the rope, I'm not an expert, But any rope could snap at any minute.

Seven minutes passed, and none of them have said a word. So I began "Can I leave now this is giving me anxiety" 

It did, people weren't even visible from this height.

"Hello? why are you both ignor-" I was talking, not until I heard a loud 'Fuck yeah'.

I turned around and saw someone running towards me, I didn't have the chance to catch their face because I was pushed by them.

My heart dropped, and my body did as well.

I was screaming so loud, and was pretty sure the aliens heard me. And I was also crying because I'm getting closer and closer to the ground.

Oh dear god, please forgive me for every bad thing I've done. And please let my cat Lucky have someone to take good care of, and I also-

I was like, 9 feet away from the concrete, but I felt something push me back up and I was moving up, then down, then up again.

I forgot that I had a jacket with a rope on it!

Once the weight was balanced, the rope stopped going up and down and I'm now currently alive.

I'm alive!

I probably look like a huge mess right now. I had tears in my eyes and I was laughing hysterically.

I'm killing a boy named Phoenix today.

I was there still hanging on the rope for like, 5 minutes until the scary dude and Phoenix came.

And guess what?

both of them were laughing hard.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this point, so I chose both.

"I hate you all for this, I thought I was about to die!" I said to both of them while the man grabbed me and took the rope off, then he put me on the ground.

"That's the point, we wanted you to stand there for a couple of minutes until you forget that you're tied to a rope, then push you" Phoenix said and hugged me, saying that he's not sorry for it because it was funny and he was able to get my adrenaline pumping fast.

What a gentleman.

"Wait, who pushed me?" I pulled away from the hug and asked. And I heard a familiar voice from behind me, "That'd be me!" 

I turned around and there he was, Asher. With his eyes full of tears from laughing so hard. 

"Asherrr!" 

I'm killing two boys today.
