If You Fall

Liza Thomson was a girl that everyone could count on. She always had a smile and some sort of glint in her eye. On cold nights, she could be counted on for warm arms and sharing tea. On warm nights, she could be counted on for adventure and mystery.

Borrowing friends from the next neighborhood over, she never let anyone into her own world. Behind the strength of laughter and carefree ambitions, her home was crumbling.

When she met him, he saw through it. No one had ever done that. Liza was always able to see behind others eyes, but put her own walls up so high she wasn't even sure she could climb over them herself. He was different.

He reached out a hand, and pulled her up, over the top. And that was when he jumped, leaving Liza perched in between. Would this be her liberation, or her ultimate downfall?
