Ethan

She already took her mask off so I did that too.. even tho it was dark and she was a little far away I could see how red her eyes were.. she was crying.. she was standing on the rooftop on the building that was next to the one that I was standing on.

I couldn't understand why she was standing where she was standing but I knew exactly what she's done.. that made my stomach drop..

Y/n

He was standing in front of me but too far.. we were on two different rooftops... and I felt awful..

"Y/n I thought I lost you.« he was so exhausted and out of breath. I could see that he seemed a disappointed. »No Ethan.. you didn't, please don't say that...«
I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks in the cold..
"I'm coming just wait where you are okay?! Don't move!" he turned around and rushed to the ladder but I stopped him.

"NO! There are too many police officers down there..."
I was breathing very fast and panicking. "Ethan it's my fault.." I was crying so hard trying to stay quiet.

He looked around. "We're gonna talk about this later." he said and I could feel that he was angry.. it made me feel even more awful but of course he knew what I've done. I didn't stick to the plan, I was going to snitch on them so hard.
He walked to the edge and climbed on it which made my eyes go huge and my heart stop. "What..what are you doing.." I asked almost stuttering. I was afraid that he was going to do something stupid.
He looked down and I did too.

There was a distance of at least three meters between us and a depth of more than 27 feet.

"ETHAN NO! YOU WON'T JUMP!" I whispered kinda screaming and panicking like crazy. Was he trying to give me a heart attack? Even if it was impossible too jump.. it was too dangerous. He only needed to slip and he would be gone. I couldn't risk that.. I couldn't risk losing him like that.
"It's not the first time I'm going doing this." he said and he seemed really serious and pissed. I knee even in this situation he was going to show me how mad and disappointed he was.

My heart was beating so fast I just shook my hand. "I can't let you do that!" if this wouldn't work then he would die because of me and I would never forgive myself. I could've chosen the easy way for him but because of me he was going to risk his life.. I hated myself so much in that moment.. I didn't want to turn into a girl who was going to destroy other peoples lives only because she wasn't pleased with hers.. I didn't want to turn into my mom.
He turned around because the voices came closer and got louder.

Suddenly he jumped and I held my breath. Everything stopped in that moment and I felt like I was the one who was jumping... I saw everything in slow motion... that was the moment in which I began to pray for him to land safe on my side and I swear I never prayed that fast in my life..

He landed on me and we fell. He literally fell on me, -luckily- that means he was on top of me. It hurt but I didn't mind because landing on me was way better than lading down there on the ground. I wanted to scream but we heard the police in the other side so I kept it inside and I felt like I couldn't breathe.

He covered my mouth with his hand making sure I wouldn't make a noise. "HELLO?" we heard someone screaming and I closed my eyes because I was so afraid. I've never felt that much anxiety and adrenaline in my entire life. It was impossible for them to see us because of the wall but one noise was enough to destroy everything.

"I can't see anyone.." another voice said and then we heard their footsteps which were getting quieter. Suddenly the alarm went off and I let the breath out which I held in all the time. It was so silent for a moment since all the police alarms also went off.. I can't explain what I felt in that moment. It felt like everything was over, like weights fell off my shoulders.. but I knew it wasn't over yet. We still needed to get away there.
