The clouds started to break apart, and the moon shed its pail light onto us. for a split second i was amazed by how his pail skin shimmered in the moon light, then "just walk towards me, everything will be fine." he said, his voice was enough to make the songbirds jealous. my brain shut down, the only thing I saw was him. I took a step forward, my feet moved without me telling them to. "you're doing just fine, don't look down . . . good" he cooed. I slowly inched my way towards him, obeying his every word.
I was watching his eyes, when I saw a blue flash out of the corner of my eye. then a red, and another blue. I blinked twice then turned to look "s**t" the man said. it was a police car. 'great' i thought glaring as two cops got out. they started shouting at me, trying in vain to get me to come down. suddenly the crowd burst out in a cheer. I realized why, the man that climbed up to save me had gotten next to me. he placed his cool hand on my shoulder, startled I jumped a little taking three steps back. "Just leave me alone already!!!" I said starting to cry.
my mind was a mess, so many thought's swarmed my head, and the crowd started chattering, arguing, shouting, along with the police. I wished they would stop! that they would leave me be. my feet were hurting, I was getting a headache, the crowd still chattered. "look at me" the man said, my thoughts turned into wasps, stinging my head, stirring up things I didn't want to think about. I started to cry, sobbing I begged them all to leave. to no avail.
‘What was I doing? where was I going to end up? How is everyone going to react?’ I thought starting to regret my actions. Still the crowd droned on. The cops continued to shout and holler. Louder and louder, everything began to annoy me, more so than before. I could feel my self losing control, as my head began to throb even more. “Look at me!” he said, his voice growing more urgent. ‘why is he doing this? Why am I doing this? Am I going to be strong enough to do this’ I questioned to myself, as I peered over the edge.
Still my head throbbed, yet for some reason every little thing in my head stopped, and all I wanted now was to jump. To become a splatter mark at the bottom of the canyon. That wasn’t TOO much to ask now was it? Then why couldn’t they understand that? “god, please forgive me for my sins, forgive me for what I am about to do.” I whispered to myself. I closed my eyes and faced the edge.
“look at me!!!” he shouted, snapping me out of my concentration. I quickly turned my head to look at him, nearly getting whiplash in the process. Once more I was hypnotized. “now just take it easy and slowly walk towards me.” he said. My body was no longer under my control. Slowly but steadily I walked closer to him. Damn those eyes. Damn them to freaking hell! They looked like two orange coals left from a fire.
