[][][][][] "You're going to jump." I look down. We're about five stories up. Impossible far from the ground. My stomack flips and I stumble back. "Are you out of you fucking mind? You might as well open the door and let them kill us." I could hear the distant wailing of sirens and the bookshelf crashing down with a loud thud. I stood there. Caught between two impossible choices- escaping and leaving behind the man that had protected me thus far or staying behind and fighting beside him. My brain is telling me I've only known this guy less than a month, but my body- my body betrays me with every ache for his touch, screaming that we really like this guy. - I also really love being alive!Complete
