Up On That Bridge…Being in love with her, I of course followed Tifa up the mountains. I stayed a close distance behind, but far back enough to avoid her or her friends from noticing me. One by one Tifa's friends left off towards home, until only I remained. We kept getting closer to the top, and with every twist and turn I wanted to reveal my self, and hold on to her to protect her from harm's way.
We were about 30 feet from the top when it happened. She was taking a quick break, when I accidentally tripped on some rocks while leaning out to look at her. I quickly hid my self before she could see me, and stayed in that spot for a bit longer after she had left. It was there that I had my mistake. By the time I had enough distance to see her, she was just getting ready to cross the bridge.
Before she crossed, however, she turned to make sure no one was following her, which hindered me from getting closer. Just as I poked my head out again, she started to fall. I dashed forward with all my might to try to catch her. I was partially successful: I did manage to grab her hand. But I couldn't grab the ledge in time, and we both fell.
By the time I became conscious, I was back in my room. I immediately ran out of there and raced over to Tifa's house, shoving my way passed everyone. When I reached her room, I saw what had happened: Tifa, my baby, my angel, the love of my life, was in a coma. Immediately Mr. Lockhart started screaming at me, blaming me for everything, even when I tried to explain what had happened.
On the way home, my mom decided it was time to tell me the truth about all of this, about why Tifa and I couldn't be together. And as we reached our door, she started talking about the events that happened years ago…
