052. Jump

POV: Avery

Word count: 103

Just jump already.

Jump!

Jump, I command you!

I am doing everything, trying everything, yet she is still standing in the window, almost completely still, waiting.

Why isn't she jumping?

She has to – otherwise, she is no use to me. My plan will fail.

She must jump.

My plan can't fail. I have to carry on with it.

Yet she is still, motionless.

I have no more power than this – this has to be enough. It has always been enough until tonight – I could make her do anything.

And now?

What's happening?

No.

It can not be.

She is in her head again.
