I stood outside on the high balcony, my eyes sweeping over the bright city. High buildings illuminated the black sky, and I could hear the rumbling of the streets from eighteen stories high. A warm breeze wisped my hair from behind my ear and sent it floating in front of my face. I didn't bother to move it back into place. My hands, trembling as they were, still had a solid grip on the neck of my bottle. I was starting to feel something warm tingle in my stomach and relax my limbs. It was easing the hazy mess my mind was it, replacing it with the blissful emotions that I can only feel when I'm drunk. I took a swig of the bitter tasting liquor and managed to hold back the cringe that wanted to scrunch up my face. I learned how to hide the disgust that vodka gave me with years of practice, but that doesn't mean the feeling stopped coming. I hated drinking--I hated that it was the only thing that I did. The glass sliding door was pushed open. I didn't bother turning around; I knew who it was, and I wasn't in the mood to look at him. The door slid shut. I heard him clear his throat. "Nice night, huh?"

"Can you forget about me...?" I asked him as we stood in the frozen night. He shook his head. I smile, "Well, in that case..." I pause to step back a bit and look up at him. "I'm sorry...," With that, I fall back and into the river. All I could feel was the icey water slowly filling my lungs and then... 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. I never meant for him to fall in love with me. However, when I woke up, I woke up in a white room, "A hospital room...?" I thought to myself. I look around wondering how and why I was here...and then I see him... right next to me. I slightly frowned and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on my shoulder, urging me to lie back down. I fought against him, trying to get away from him. But he held me firmly, his eyes filled with concern and love. "Please, calm down. You scared me when you fell into the river. I thought I had lost you," he whispered, his voice breaking with emotion. I stopped struggling and looked into his eyes, seeing the pain and fear that I had caused him. I then looked down as I said, "I thought I'd make it easier for you." His face paled. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. I took a deep breath and confessed, "I never wanted you to fall in love with me." I say. He looked at me in shock, his grip on my shoulder loosening. "Why would you say that? Why would you think that would be easier for me?" he asked, his voice filled with confusion and hurt. I closed my eyes, unable to meet his gaze as I replied, "Because I don't deserve your love. I'm not who you think I am." He sat there in silence, processing my words. And then, without warning, he leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips. I pulled away, stunned by his action. "I don't care who you think you are. I love you, for you dumbass," he said.
