Ash knew she wouldn't survive the fall. She knew the water would turn into concrete, and she would die. Even if she did survive the impact of the ocean waves, she knew that she would drown. There was no way she would survive. She wondered why she was standing on the edge of the Brooklyn bridge. Maybe it was because of her abusive father, or maybe her mother leaving her, or maybe it was because her best friend, Kayla, had died a month before. She knew none of those were the main reason she was up there, it was because of her ex best friend Cassidy. She didn't want to leave. She wanted to explore the world and see all of the beautiful sights. But she felt that she needed to leave. That her adventure was found in a different life. A life with no one to hurt her. She didn't want to leave, but it was what was best for her and everyone around her.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
