Over the Edge (LukasxPetra)

Lukas's PoV

Lukas pushed everyone aside as a doctor held him back. He couldn't believe it. He just talked to her a few hours ago and now- what happened?!

"Please- let me through!" Lukas said to the doctor, who shook his head and pushed him back again. Lukas froze when people pulled her up with some thick ropes and set her down on the grass. A few feet away from him. So close. Yet so far.

She was gone. And he was too late. Lukas clenched the piece of paper in his hand and sank to his knees and started to cry. He was too late. And maybe it was his fault.

*Five hours ago*

Lukas looked up to see Petra at the edge of a cliff, overlooking the glittering blue sea below them. "Pet?" he asked cautiously, making the girl turn. Lukas stopped walking to see that her eyes were red and there were tears running down her cheeks. Petra hastily wiped them away and turned back to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the sea.

"Petra? What are you doing here?" Lukas asked. "Just- yknow... admiring the view." she muttered, her voice shaking a little.

"What's wrong?"

There was a pause as Petra took a deep breath. "Everything. Everything's wrong, Lukas."

Lukas frowned a little as Petra looked down at the sea again. "Would anyone miss me?" she asked, without turning around to Lukas. "Miss you? Where are you going?" he replied, confused. Petra slowly sank to her knees, hugging herself. "Just... leave me alone for awhile, Lukas. I'm fine."

"You're not fine, Pet. What's wrong?" Lukas asked again, slowly sitting down next to Petra and carefully dangling his legs over the edge. Petra took another shaky deep breath. "I love Jess... but-"

Lukas finally realised what was going on. A few days ago, Jess announced that she was going to get married to Romeo. (Yes yes, I can hear your protests, and screams of unexpectations and facepalming)

"Oh." Lukas said dumbly, scratching the back of his neck. "Pet... maybe it's time to just let her go. But just stay friends. You know?" he offered, looking at the auburn haired girl.

Petra sighed, drawing her knees up to her chin and staring at the horizon, a million miles away. "You know I've always had a crush on you, right?" Lukas managed to say.

Petra turned to him, surprised. "What?"

"That's like, my biggest secret. But now I'm glad we're just friends." He added quickly. Lukas watched as Petra drew a circle on the grass over and over again. "Just friends. Maybe I can do that, Lukas." Petra said, not looking up at him.

"Yep. You should just try to let her go, Petra. I know it's not easy, but..."

"No, I understand, Lukas. Really." but there was a strange tone to her voice. Like she was done.

"Thanks for your help, blonde." Petra smiled and got up from the grass. "Wait- Petra, where are you going?" Lukas asked looking back as Petra walked away from him.

"To... y'know. Find another life." she called back, a smile on her face as she walked away.

Lukas looked back at the edge of the cliff and saw the sharp rocks below and wondered if he did the right thing or not... maybe he didn't.
