Title: What If?

Summary: What if Kyle had jumped, that fateful day on the roof with Jessi? What if no one stopped them?

Pairing: SlightKessi

"I'll show you. No tricks, no wires."

With that statement Jessi stepped up to the edge of the building. She hardly heard Declan telling Josh to get Kyle. Looking down her heart skipped beat, no more of a microbeat – it was so small that even Jessi barely noticed it. What was there to worry about? She had done this before, it wouldn't hurt her, she was special… like Kyle. Kyle, why did he have to be so…, so responsible. Jessi didn't want to 'fly under the radar', what ever that meant. She wanted to be noticed, to be revered to be….. welcomed.

"Jessi don't do it"

Trust Declan to try and dissuade her. It wasn't like he cared for her anymore, that fling was over before it properly started.

"I've done it before, don't worry about it." She turned around to where the camera crew hovered. "You getting this?"

"We're rolling."

"Alright then."

Jessi looked down at the pavement and then back at the crowd that had gathered, especially at the little blonde – Hilary her name was, one of Lori's friends. Her feet inched forward, half of her shoe already exposed to the air.

"Wait!"

Her heart stopped as Jessi heard his voice come from behind her, his body quickly joining hers on the edge. "What are you doing?" Her anger directly solely at Kyle who was peering over the building.

"I'm jumping too"

Damn it! Damn him and his saviour complex. Why did he have to come and ruin it now? Just as she was getting ready to seal her fame forever, imagine the hundreds and thousands that would watch the tape. "Kyle go away" Jessi dismissively waved him off, concentrating her mind on her aim.

"I want to show them how easy it is."

Jessi rage was building, she could feel it rising within her chest and quickly spreading. She barely registered her mouth moving and his responding, continuing their secret conversation. How dare he tell her what she could and couldn't do? Just because he was scared didn't mean that she was as well.

"Fine, do it with me." Ending their discussion, she faced the horizon and was only slightly surprised when Kyle stood his ground. Subconsciously she reached out her hand, and a feeling of warmth rushed through her as he took it. This was it, she was finally going to seen, seen for who she was. And who better to share this moment with than Kyle? Looking up, Jessi found his eyes and held them, squeezing his hand harder before turning back and facing the sun. This was their time, this was their destiny.

And together, they jumped.
