•Coming Soon• That Bradford Bad Boy

Off To Breakfast

I was about to close the window.

"Hey!" Zayn shouts.

I open the window back and look down at him.

"What?" I ask.

"Where are you going?"

"To meet you." Taylor says.

"After last night do you really think your parents are gonna let you go anywhere with me?"

"Oh. I guess you're right." She says, running her hand through her hair.

"Hold on." I say. I take my phone out of my back pocket and text Jay.

If mom and dad ask me and Taylor went to check out the town. -Amber

He texts back a few seconds later.

Alright whatever.-Jay

"Ok, we can go." I say, showing Taylor the texts.

I close the window. I look back at the window and see Zayn waving his arms and moving his mouth. He was probably yelling.

I open the window again.

"What?"

"Once again I don't think they will approve of you hanging out with me. If they see you with me they won't let you go."

"He has a point." Taylor, says frowning.

"So what are you suggesting?" I ask him, putting my hand on my head.

He shrugs. "Jump." He says simply.

*******

We just stare at him.

"WHAT?" Taylor screeches.

"Jump." He says. "Did I stutter?"

"We're not jumping." I say my head pounding. I don't like heights.

I look over and see my bookshelf. And then I see the first book on my shelf.

Divergent.

A part of the book jumps to my mind.

My thoughts rush through my mind a thousand miles a minute.

First jumper. Dauntless. Four. Tobias. Jumping started everything. Is Zayn my Tobias Eaton?

"I'll jump first." I say under my breath. I couldn't believe that I was letting a fictional book get to my head.

"I'll jump first." I say louder.

"WHAT?" Taylor screeches again. "I thought you hated heights and..." she follows my eyes over to the bookshelf.

"No." she says staring at me. "You are not letting a book convince you to jump."

"I guess I am." I say, taking a deep breath in and then pushing it back out.

I look out the window.

I sit on the ledge and start to lean back.

I take a breath in. My plan. I realize that I didn't have one. I lean back a little farther.

"Come on." Zayn says.

My heart pounds and my head do the same.

I lean back just a little farther.

I wish there was a net at the bottom, I think to myself.

I lean back a little farther and I'm falling.

*******

All I remember is biting my tongue so I didn't scream.

I'm flying through the air and my loose top snaps against my frame as the wind messes up my hair my hair.
