‹ Prequel: Just Let Me Go

Everything and Nothing

My heart pounds in my chest.

The lies...
The hurtful words...
I can't take it anymore.

"Anastasia! Stop!"
I look down from my perch on the bridge and see Mike running as fast as he can. My mind says to go and see him, but I can't. If I do, I WILL stop.
We can't have that, now can we?
"Anastasia, please! Let me talk to you!"
A single tear falls from my eye as I take a few steps back and jump. My hair flies around me, and I flail my arms. No, I don't want this. I don't--
"Anastasia!"
I connect with the icy water, the air quickly rushing out of my lungs from the impact, letting water take it's place. Tears swell in my eyes as I realize how slow of a death this will be. Painful. My body will freeze to death, and there's no way that Mike can save me. I should just go under and make it quicker. I really should...

How could I do this to my baby?
