Sebastian got to me faster than I expected, especially since he was walking. But it was still dark when he arrived.

He took one look at me and raised an eyebrow. I could tell that my eyes were puffy and I probably looked a state but, I kept my poker face on and pretended that it was normal to be completely lost without anything on me a part from my phone and the clothes on my back.

"We going yet?" I tried to be nonchalant, shoving my thumbs into the back pockets of my jeans. The corners of his lips tilted upwards and he noddded, holding out his arm.

"Ma'am?" He offered and I looped a hand around his arm like I had seen a nineteenth century lady do in a silly film Jonathon had watched with me. He began to walk with me and I suddenly had a lot of questions.

"How did you get to me so quickly? You were walking-" I began to interrogate him and he chuckled.

"I'll answer your questions when you answer some of mine." I was about to argue that he hadn't asked me any when he interrupted me again, "Which, I have a feeling you're not going to even if I do ask." I scowled, was he a mind-reader?

"Alright," I said slowly, "At least tell me where we're going." I demanded, glancing around. It was all unfamiliar.

"It's a surprise." He grinned and I almost growled in frustration, and a little excitement.

"Maybe I want to go home?" I asked, an innocent tone playing along my vocal cords.

"Perhaps." He took a deep breath, "Alright, I'll tell you a little. We're going to one of my favourite places to be."

I smiled to myself, glad to get information out of him. I stayed silent and looked away, taking in the setting. Without noticing he had taken me out of the bad neighbourhood.

The houses were neater and more polished, little shops lined the streets-now all closed and dark inside. We were on the side of a river that ran through the city. Light sloshes of water could be heard and the air smelled of salt and grass. The river water was inky reflecting the dark sky and a large pale circle could be seen replicating the moon.

We were too close to the city central to see any stars, but the setting was undoubtedly beautiful.

"Where are we?" I asked as Sebastian led us onto a wide, long bridge with cars occasionally driving past, tires on smooth concrete.

"A nice part of town, I find it's too busy during the day. I come here a lot to…think." I looked up at him as he spoke. His face was tilted towards the sky as though he was having a conversation with the moon. His eyes also mirrored it, a little white circle next to his silver eyes.

"I like it here." I told him, looking away at the water. I broke away from his so I could put my hands on the rough surface of the bridge's thick fence. I leaned over a little to watch a twig make its way down the river. We were fairly high up and a cold wind pushed my curls back over my shoulder.

Without warning, Sebastian swung his legs over the fence as he sat on it.

"I don't think that's safe." I said slowly, watching as he sat in complete ease, watching the horizon.

"Is that going to stop you?" He asked, not looking at me, he already knew my answer.

"No." I answered anyway and he held his hand out to help me over and I managed to climb over it with a little grace.

The view was spectacular and there was something about the danger of the situation that sent thrills through my body. I must be some crazed psychopath, I thought, smiling a little.

A few minutes later, Sebastian turned to me.

"You ready?" He asked with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Ready?" I repeated, confused.

"Don't be afraid." He said quickly, he didn't give me a chance to question him before he pushed himself off the fence and dove straight into the water.

I bit my tongue to restrain the strangled scream.

My eyes searched frantically for him in the water, waiting for him to resurface. My pulse was rocketing.

Finally- after what seemed like forever- I spotted his head, grinning at me; a silver halo in the dark water encircling him.

It took a second to dawn on me; he wanted me to jump too.

I felt my breathing accelerate, as I looked down at him. The space between us seemed to lengthen, until he was a small dot.

I had to jump too.

For a second, I let my head swim in the frenzied panic that it had clouded itself in before I gave myself a quick mental slap.

Don't be afraid.

Sebastian was fine, you would be too.

Anyhow, you had definitely been through worse.

Somehow, I found myself standing on the fence. I took one glance at the moon and the horizon before I leapt.
