Zeke's POV
I stood at the top of the isolated cliff. I stood at the edge feeling the wind beckoning me to fall forward to my death. I don't mind. The world would be better off without me. The tips of my shoes were beginning to ease over the edge of the cliff. I was going to fall.
"Zeke!" A voice called out to me. I could hear the edge of panic cutting its way through his words and heard the loud pounding of shoes running towards me. I knew if I was going to jump it would have to be now.
I don't know what it was, but something made me hesitate. Maybe if it wasn't for that I would've jumped. Letting myself fall to my death and be smashed and pummeled by the waves below.
I took one last look at the cold dark waves before preparing to jump.
Suddenly a warm pair of arms wrapped themselves around my waist hoisting me away from the edge.
"Zeke don't do it…" Ringo pleaded with me as I slowly backed my way up to the edge of the cliff again.
"There's nothing left for me…" I choked out the words realizing as I said this it was true.
"There's always something" He reasoned with me. "What about your friends?" he asked.
"You guys are better off without me…"
********************************************************
Ringo's POV
That's when I finally found out how messed up Zeke really was… Was he really willing to give up everything? If the fall didn't kill him the waves would.
"If you jump I jump" I told him quoting the Titanic.
"Really?" He asked me.
"Really" I replied smiling at him.
"But Zeke you have no idea how much we all care about you, and I promise you can even have my new Iphone if you don't jump."
"You guys actually care about me?" He asked me slowly.
The answer was easy and left my lips with ease, "yes."
Lucas had stayed quiet throughout all this and was ready to spring into action if needed.
I stretched my hand out to Zeke begging him to take it.
Zeke was about to grab my hand when the soft muffling of crumbling rocks finally snapped me back into reality. Zeke had noticed this a split second later than me but it was too late.
*******************************************************
Zeke's POV
I felt the souring sensation as I fell from the edge of the cliff, trying to grab onto whatever to stop me from falling. The ground where I had been had collapsed before my feet.
I fell for a couple more desperate seconds before I felt the hard impact of my body hitting the surface of something hard and I blacked out immediately.
**********************************************************
Ringo's POV
I flung myself onto the ground on my stomach and peeked over the edge. Zeke was lying on a small ledge jutting out of the side of the cliff about 9 meters down.
"Zeke!" Me and Lucas called out at the same time. I took one small look at Lucas's panic stricken face before turning my attention back to Zeke.
"I think I have a rope in my Ute" Lucas told me rushing back to his car.
I waited anxiously for Lucas never tearing my eyes away from Zeke's limp body.
Lucas ran back to me with the rope. "Tie this around your waist and I'll lower you down." He instructed me. I did what he told me and soon was being dropped inch by inch down to Zeke.
I was scared… He wouldn't be… He couldn't be… I couldn't bring myself to say the word.
Finally I made contact with the hard dry ground of the ledge. I peered over the edge and felt sick as I saw the long drop down.
My hands trembled as I kneeled down besides Zeke. I had been doing a semi paramedics course at school so I knew most first aid.
Zeke's body was limp and not moving at all.
I knew Zeke wasn't breathing and felt his neck for a pulse. His pulse was weak and slow but it was still there.
I leaned over Zeke and tipped him onto his side in the recovery position and started CPR.
"How's he doing?" Lucas yelled down to me.
"He's not breathing!" I shouted back up at him "Can you call an ambulance?"
"Sorry I've already tried but I've got no reception up here."
I performed CPR for about another minute before Zeke started breathing again. Zeke was semi conscious and groaned.
Blood was spilling out of the side of his head and the thick gooey blood was matted in his hair. His left arm which he must've landed on was a purple colour with blood oozing out of it and was twisted in a way which could only mean it's broken.
"Ringo…" Zeke moaned as he moved slightly.
"Zeke it's okay, hang in there" I said panic etched into my voice.
*******************************************************************
Zeke's POV
Everything was blurry and I felt like I was on fire. It burned, it hurt so badly. I wonder if this is what death felt like, or maybe I was in hell…
But if I was dead why was Ringo there? Maybe I had actually jumped and he jumped after me like he said he would… But why would Ringo be in hell then?
"Zeke hang in there" I heard someone say. At least I think that's what they said, my head was throbbing and it was hard to focus.
****************************************************************************
Ringo's POV
"Zeke can you hear me?" I asked as Zeke drifted in and out of consciousness.
Zeke mumbled in response. "Zeke I need you to stay awake okay?" I said clearly, making sure he could hear me as my adrenaline rush slowly started to wear off.
"How's he doing?" I heard Lucas shout down to me.
I didn't dare take my eyes off of Zeke as I called back up to him "He's not looking to good…"
"Tie the rope around his waist and I'll pull him up!" Lucas instructed me. I gently lifted Zeke up and carefully tied the rope around his waist, careful to make it tight enough so it wouldn't slip.
"Okay it's tied!" I yelled up to Lucas. Lucas began to haul Zeke up the jagged rocky cliff.
**************************************************************************
Lucas's POV
I pulled Zeke up the long jagged cliff. The rope felt stiff and dry and burned my hands with every pull, but I continued to haul Zeke up. The only thing on my mind was how badly injured Zeke was.
I finally managed to pull Zeke up the edge of the cliff. It was a good thing he was only small.
I gasped when I saw Zeke up close. His head was pouring out a sticky flow of blood and his arm was a sick purple colour. Zeke was face down on the ground now and I could see long strips of red seeping through the back of his thin shirt.
I rushed over to Zeke and rolled him onto his back. "Zeke?" I asked as I kneeled down next to him. Zeke groaned but didn't open his eyes.
"Okay I'll drop down the rope now" I told Ringo as I leaned over the edge of the cliff making sure the ground wasn't going to crumble like it did with Zeke.
I dropped the rope over the edge and Ringo tied it to his body. Ringo was easier to pull up as he used his hands and legs to help climb up the cliff face.
*******************************************************************
Ringo's POV
I looked down at my bloody scratched hands as I pulled myself over the edge of the cliff. I gasped for breath before turning to Lucas.
"We need to get to the closest hospital!" I said as I got up from my hands and knees.
I lifted Zeke into my arms and carried him to the car. I gently laid Zeke down across the backseat of the car and climbed through the other door. Zeke's head rested softly on my lap and I smoothed his hair away for his face.
We sped off down the road, the same thought circling around and around in my head, would Zeke be okay…?
(A/N sorry for the wait :P I'll update again soon 2 make up 4 it! Xxx. P.S any ideas of what should happen to Zeke after?)
