Since I'm alone, it wouldn't matter if I jumped or not. Life can't get any worse than it is now. Lonely. Afraid. Weak. My heart feels every inch of my pain and, it too, wants me to jump. I can start over; feel remorse; feel free again. Maybe even happy.
I bend my legs, about to launch when I get interrupted.
"Stop! Don't jump!"

Darcy is broken, stuck in her world of darkness. Toby made the mistake to place all of the weight on her shoulders. There is nothing he regrets more than what he had done to her. But, does he tell her? Show her? Nope. Lets her go on with thinking the same old thing. "I wasn't good enough"
But, what will happen when he explains himself? Will the love be found once again, or will it only fall in to a world of unforgotten sorrows?

Just to be clear on the rules, you have to do what I ask you to whenever you're told to, and whatever the thing is." That's a risky game. I don't like to agree to something when I don't really know what it is. What the hell are you getting yourself into Emma? "What kind of a favor?" "That does not concern you just yet. Just remember that your little friend is almost out if time. August is near, and if you deny me my request, I'll kill that boyfriend of yours." he threatened. "And if I agree to this, when will you send me to the other realm?" "Any day next week. You choose." "OK. Deal." He put his hand out and I shook it.

#1 enough #1 notenough #3 in lifelessons #15 relatable "They say you regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do in life," I whisper, glad that I can still form a coherent sentence with him so abnormally close to me. I would barely have to extend my arm halfway to touch him. I become painstakingly aware of every movement, watching his dark eyelashes flutter with every blink. He moves impossibly closer, eyes still concentrated on my lips. I swallow anxiously, forgetting how to breathe. "Well thank fuck for that," he mutters, before a hand against the back of my neck pulls us together. --- Never put effort into anything, I told myself. It will never help you. It will never beat those around you. You will never be competition for those geniuses. You will never be wanted by anyone in your life because there's always someone better than you.

Scared that, on the contrary, he will get closer to me and I have no doubt that, in that case, I would be lost forever." "Would it be that terrible?" Felicity smirked. "Getting lost with him?"
