sydney teen survives forty-story fall into harbour bridge

                                    by colleen winters

calum hood, 17, took a dive into the sydney harbour after slipping on the first rain drop of what would be the largest storm of the season. sources say the teenage would have committed suicide by jumping off of the bridge were it not for mary lynn white, 17, coaxing him off of the ledge. however, a single rain drop fell and landed on hood's head, startling him. the teenage boy slipped on a patch of water left over from a small shower one hour before the accident.

hood went plummeting into the harbour and managed to live throughout the 134 metre drop into the icy waters. nsw marine rescue boats arrived at the scene to find hood half-conscious and barely afloat. 

"it's a wonder he survived, but we're all blessed to have him with us today," says hood's father, don hood.

"i don't know what we would do without him!" admitted white, calum hood's girlfriend. 

hood is now out of the hospital with no injuries but a slight cold. 

"you hear that, cal?" giggled mary lynn as she folded the newspaper and sat it down on the computer desk in the corner of the room. "they called me your girlfriend."

calum laughed distantly. "i'm not that lucky, m. it's just to dramatize the story." to be honest, he had been thinking about asking her the 'big question' lately. after all, they both loved each other dearly and have been through a lot together. why not make it official?

mary lynn pouted and sat at the foot of his bed, playing with a loose string on her shorts. "but don't you think i could be? your girlfriend, i mean. i mean, we've kind of liked each other for ever!' 

he grinned. "marilyn white, are you asking me to be your boyfriend?"

she gasped. "you called me marilyn!"

"answer the damn question!"

"yes," she exclaimed, exasperated, "i am asking you to be my fucking boyfriend! gosh, calum, you asshat! isn't it obvious?"

"i'll be your 'fucking boyfriend', you big meanie!"  caulm screeched jokingly, sitting up from his spot on the bed and crawling over to his girlfriend. he wrapped his long legs around her waist and nuzzled his face into her silky blonde hair. "i love you," he mumbled into the nape of her neck, leaving a quick kiss on the exposed skin. 

"good," mary lynn whispered. "because i love you."

the. fucking. end.
