Prologue:
...In that one second of deliberation, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. Did I want him to save me? I immediately pushed away the dirty thought. My selfish being ached for it of course, but I knew I did not deserve that. Did I want to die? I wasn't sure. I just wanted to escape this morose life before I did more wrong. I hoped the unforgiving rocks below would make my decision for me. Was I being an idiotic drama queen? I supposed that was what it would look like. Nobody would understand that I really had no choice. Nobody would understand that I was already gone. I was just a body, a walking, talking, functioning thing. Not human. But what could I do? Now that I knew for sure, my life was going to be incensed with that one glimpse. I'd never live with myself for doing anything from then on. It was so much better to love a fictional character, than to face real life.
Was I insane? I sincerely hoped so. Then, maybe, if I survived, they would put me in an asylum. Far from here, from home, from Forks, and from people I knew. I wondered, and yes, it was a very clichéd thought but I still wondered. Do crazy people think they're crazy?
I thought of my family. Aah, the untouched subject. I knew I'd hurt them when I'd left, and even though it was the right thing to do. Even if they deserved it, for me not to ruin their life any longer, it still hurt to hurt them. I'd thought of that plan for years. Since the first time I considered it, since that girl of twelve. I knew that I could not live forever caged in my parents home. If I was to hurt them in the process, like I undoubtedly would, I would have to. Even if I had to promise them something false, exactly what I had had to do, I would, and did do it. I promised them to come home soon, yes, I did, but the promise was broken before it was made. The promise was broken ten years ago, when I first put down that book. A book, or rather, a series, which had altered my way of thinking. Altered my way of life. Altered my view of the world. Altered me.
Twilight.
I took a deep breath... and then I jumped.
