This kind of a follow on one-shot of my other one-shot, To Live For. This makes sense though even if you haven't read that. It is the original timeline. Wyatt is evil, the world is being destroyed and Chris is no longer sure what he can do to change things and what he has to live for.

I was walking along through the city, thinking about everything. Watching the destruction around me and it was then I decided that I had to get away.

I orbed out, unable to stand what was going on around me any longer. The ruins. Innocents dying. The fear. The constant heat from the flames surrounding me.

I orbed to Golden Gate Bridge. Luckily it still stood. Wyatt had liked it and saw it as a good place to come when planning what evil to do next and he didn't want to be disturbed doing so. I however prefer it for the fact it is quiet, peaceful and has great views. It is away from the destruction and torture that is now my world.

I stood still, letting the cold wind rustle through my hair. The wind hit me in my face causing my face to sting. I didn't care though. This was nothing.

I looked below me, in the distance. I saw smoke over most of the city, thick and black, with flickering bright colours of fire that grew wilder by the minute. I sighed and looked forwards. I felt a slight warmth on the side of my face and turned to face the source. The sun has nearly set, ready to plunge the city in to total darkness. As if it wasn't already dark enough.

I noticed the sky was a reddish colour around the sun. I used to like coming here and watching the sun set. Seeing the glow as it disappeared and looking at the red sky. Now red just reminds me of bad things. The flames. The blood. The danger. I turned around and faced the other way, now looking over the other side of the bridge.

I looked below me, surprised that some cars were still travelling along the road, clearly trying to escape as they drove quickly away from the city. They wouldn't make it.

For the first time I realised just how far it was to the ground. Thoughts entered my head. I couldn't…could I?

I shook my head, trying to get rid of the thoughts, trying to persuade myself otherwise, but I couldn't take my eyes of the road. I could escape.

Tears came to my eyes. I thought about my family and knew that if I did do this that it wouldn't matter. Wyatt wouldn't care….would he? Did I care if he did care? I wasn't sure what I cared about or what mattered anymore.

I think about my life now…if you can call it that. Then I think about something that's been said before. What do I have to live for? I make my decision. I look around at the ever darkening world. The night is now here and the moon and stars are the only light besides the fire in the city. I see small dots of light moving at high speeds below as cars still go back and forth.

I take one last look up to the sky and smile. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. My last breath. I fall forwards, my body suddenly feeling light and I am determined not to orb to safety. I am falling fast, even with my eyes closed I can tell and I know I am close to the end. It all happened so quickly that I probably couldn't have had time to orb to safety anyway.

My last thoughts as I fall are of my family. I forget about everything I am leaving behind. This is it. It comes to my final thought as my body comes in contact with the hard road. Goodbye.
