Title: Keep Breathing
Chapter One: The Edge
Sam's POV
I saw her from a distance, shoulders hunched. She let her feet dangle over the edge of the cliff, the rain making her shiver. I wanted nothing more than to go wrap her in my arms, and tell her it would be alright. But I'd lost that privilege when I lost her.
And even if I told her everything was fine, no matter how much either of us wanted it to be, she'd never be the same. Nothing could change what happened.
I was the only one who knew what was going on, what it felt like. Like everything inside of you is imploding, like you couldn't ever imagine standing again, like you rather lay there and die, than face what you've done.
It may not be the same circumstances, but I understand what it's like to kill a friend. To kill family.
If you're curious as to how this story plays out let me know and I'll continue it. I realize it's quite short but its purpose is to set the tone for the rest. Thanks for reading.
