Prologue
Kathryn's flashback:
I didn't have to look anymore to understand what was happening. He didn't scream, his pain was silent. The tears that never stopped just kept running down my face. I ran to the elevator, pressing the button as fast as I could. It didn't come fast enough. I heard the sickening crack before I could do anything else. I took the stairs down. After the 5 staircase, I heard him scream in immense pain. *No* I whispered. I had to get down there. "Please, someone save him, please..." I screamed. When I got to the bottom, people crowded around him. "Jake..." I said. I could only stare in horror as the crowd formed a pathway for me to see him.
The peculiar thing was that, I couldn't see any damage on him. He lay perfectly still, like an angel. You would have thought he was dead if you didn't hear his moans. I heard a loud sob escaped. I looked around to see who it was, only to find everyone staring back at me. It was me. I knelt next to Jake as he took in every breath slowly yet at a quickened pace.
"No, Jake, NO DON'T YOU LEAVE ME!" I screamed over his body. "Why," I asked, stroking his face. He bled tears of blood. I wiped them away with kisses. "Why did you jump off that building!"
"Because... there... was... no way... i could... live without you." He panted and gasped. His eyes seemed to run over me, trying to take in my image with his memory.
"Jake, I never stopped loving you, and you knew that!" I screamed.
"No... no i didn't. You... you just left me there... i... didn't know what to do..." He said. His eye lids seemed to flutter.
"No! Don't you dare leave me alone!" I looked around. "Someone call an ambulance!" I felt Stacey's arms around me.
"It's too late Kathryn, its too late..."
"Kathryn?" Jake whispered. His voice was barely audible now. He looked at me with those warm eyes.
"I... love...you..." His eyes closed forever.
