Chapter 4- Smashed
She pushed me right over the balcony. The world seemed to move in slow motion right at that moment because I saw her wave goodbye at me and dissolve, but much more slowly than all the other times. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed at the top of my lunges. I flipped backwards over the railings and grabbed onto the bottom part of them where they connect to the cement. I banged onto the cement and my head went fuzzy. I held on with all my strength 'cause if I let go, I knew I would die.
"Sarah? SARAH!" I heard a big BANG! because he dropped the drinks on the floor. I looked up to see Cameron. "Sarah! What happened!? Never mind that! I'll be right there!" And he disappeared. He just left me hanging. Literally. I started to cry because I truly thought I was going to die.
"Cam..." I whispered through my tears. I was about to give out when I heard Cameron's voice, come out of no where, below me.
"Sarah! Let go."
"Are you crazy!?" I screamed.
"Just trust me." He looked at me with trust in his eyes. The most I've ever seen. I could trust him. I knew I could. So I closed my eyes, and let go. I could have sworn I was falling for forever, until he caught me. I opened my eyes, still crying, and shaking, and I see Cameron's soft, brown eyes.
"C-Cameron..." I stuttered, trying to find words. But my mind has turned to slush. I couldn't think straight. I couldn't think at all. All I could think of was to hug him. Hug him close, and never let go, for fear I would fall again. I was bawling now. I must have sounded pathetic.
"It's okay sweet, I've got you. And I will NEVER let you go again." He said. And he meant it. We wouldn't let go of each other, we were too afraid. He put me down but I was still shaking and hugging him. He kissed my forehead and I looked up at him. "I love you Sarah. I would never let you fall." He grabbed my shaking hand and we walked back upstairs to his penthouse to finish studying.

*Cameron's point of view*
"So, how did you end up over the ledge?" I said, holding her hand.
"I, uh, tripped!" She replied, having a scared look on her face.
"Come on Sarah. How did you end up over the balcony?"
"I told you. I tripped."
"Okay... Just please promise me you will be safer on balconies okay?" I said, looking into her beautiful brown eyes.
"I promise Cam." She said, and she hugged me. ... The next day was weird. I woke up, feeling strange. I didn't feel like myself, like, there was something wrong. Oh well, it'll go away. I waited for Sarah in the lobby and when she came I got her hand and we walked to the bus stop.
Leeeeeeeeeave her... You'll hhhhhurt her... I heard something.
"What?" I said.
"Huh?" She asked.
"Did you say something?"
"No. Why?" She looked cconcerned.
"No reason..." Weird. We walked through the front doors and I heard something again. Leeeeeeeave her... She'll diiiiiiiiie... "Who is that!?" I said.
"Cam, are you alright? Is something wrong?" Sarah was now holding both of my hands and looking me straight in the eys, scared that something was wrong with me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I lied.
"Okay... but just tell me if something's wrong. You can trust me." She said, having an 'I dont believe you' look on her face.
It was fourth hour and I started to panic. I kept hearing this voice. If you ssssssstay wittthhhh hhhhhher, sssshhhhhe will diiiiiie like meeeee...You willlll caaaaause hhhhhhher deeeeath
"Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!" I whisper/yelled at myself, shaking my head as I say it. Wait, maybe the voice was right. What if I cause her death too? I'll be devastated! She'll be, well, DEAD! That CANNOT happen! After class, I met with her at her locker, not wanting to do what I was about to do. I felt like I was about to burst into tears, but I held it back. I had to be brave.
"Uh.... Hey Sarah..." I said, nervous as heck. And sad, oh, so VERY sad. "I need to tell you something..."
"What is it Cam?" Her sweet voice replied.
"Oh God you have GOT to believe me when I say this isn't easy. I... uh... need to... break up with you..." I said, rubbing my hands together and hoping, no, PRAYING she won’t burst. Even though I know she will.
"What?" Her voice quivered, the tone of her voice was cracking with sadness. It was horrible, I couldn't bear it. "Why? Do you not like me?" A stray tear streamed down her cheek. Here it comes. She burst into tears and put her head in her hands. It was unbearable to watch. I was so heartbroken, and I bet her too, that I started crying. I felt like bawling, but I didn't. I held it in.
"Of course I like you! I love you for God's sake! But, I can't be with you. You won't be safe with me. I-I need to go." And I ran. I just ran. Crying my eyes out, knowing she will be safe.
