She was falling. Without thinking, without even planning ahead, I ran to her and grabbed her arm, and pulled her back. I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or her. She was the first to speak.
"Momiji? What are…"
"I came to the trial, to watch. I followed you up her. It's a good thing I did, too? Why where you at the side of the building?"
I realized she was crying.
"Why are you crying?" I wrapped my arms around her, and let her cry. She cried for a long time before she said anything.
"It…He said…car…but…mean…nobody…pointless…I had to jump…you saved me…"
She was babbling, like she always did when she cried. She was kind of cute when she did that.
I wanted to help her so much. I wanted to make her stop crying. I wanted to tell her.
"It's just my stepfather, trying to get to me. It's nothing. Thank you."
I knew that soon, I would have to stop hugging her. She would go…where would she go? I had to tell her now.
"Kaida?" She looked up at me with her grey eyes.
"Yes?"
"I need to say something." I knew what I had to say. That I loved her. That I wanted her to stay with me forever. How we would find her a place to stay. What we could do together.
I looked down at her, into those cool grey eyes, and kissed her. She must have been shocked, but, I felt her kiss me back. I never wanted to pull back. I wanted stay like this, frozen in this position, forever. But, eventually, I had to. She had a strange look in her eyes. They where softer, and she was smiling.
"I agree completely."
What? I had to think about for a few seconds to get it was a joke.
"It was a joke."
"I just know got that."
"Pathetic." She laughed, and hugged me.
"I love you Kaida."
"I love you, too."
