Elena's shocked gaze did not waver from where it rested upon the tired-looking brunette. "Y-you jumped after me," she stammered.
Ayden huffed. "I told you I'd protect you."
Elena shook her head, eyes still wide in disbelief as she brushed the wet hair away from her face. "You jumped off a damn plane, into the ocean... just for me." She paused as she watched the brunet slump onto the sand, exhausted. "You went back for me."
"I'll always go back for you. You fall, I'll catch you." Ayden, then, tilted her head to the side and looked at her with a tired, slightly close-eyed smile. "And it's like I told you: when it comes to us, I'm in it for the long haul."
Elena ginned back just as tiredly, remembering her telling her that the day they met. "Till the end of the line," she quoted, grabbing onto her best friend's hand.
"Till the end of the line," Ayden agreed, gently squeezing Elena's hand in return.
