as I noticed that I had almost nothing solid to stand on. My hand started to slip away from Jaska's. I tried to bring my other hand up to grab onto the
windowsill but I couldnt take it away from holding my side. My vision started to turn slightly dark, 'Oh god! Not now!' I pleaded to myself. I sighed and tried
pull myself up into the window but had no luck. My hand slipped again, "Im gonna fall!" I said. "No your not. I wont let you fall." he said. He pulled on my
arm to try and pull me up into the window, "Ow!" I yelled. My grip on his hand loosened and my hand slipped out of his... I screamed as I quickly fell down
towards the ground. I looked down and saw the surface getting closer and closer by the second. My vision darken even more because of fear. I couldnt
keep my consciousness while falling to my death.....
apart.. I gasped and looked down at the platform beneath me, the rail holding the platform to the build had finally fallen off and the platform had almost
no support. "Aurelia! Jump, hurry!" he yelled. I quickly jumped over to the other rail and landed on my stomach. I flinched and reached out for his hand
just when the platform finally gave away and fell from the building completely...
tears. I felt really weak. I wouldnt be able to pull myself back up into the window. I finally climbed up to a small rail on the platform and sat down. I was so close
to the window. I just had to... jump. I shook my head and squeezed my eyes shut. Tears flowed down my tears as I thought about my father and how he must
be feeling right now. I sniffed at the thought of my mother sitting in the shelter all alone.. without me by her side. Than.. "Aurelia! What are you doing!"
My eyes quickly shot open and pointed towards the window. Jaska stood there with a surprised face. I sighed with relief and smiled. "I... I um... well... The
platform broke down while I was on it." I said. Jaska peered out the window and finally saw the collapsed guard rail platform. He frowned, "Well, this thing
could fall apart at any minute now. You need to hurry." He said holding out his hand for me to take. I reached for his hand, but couldnt reach it...
balanced on the rails. I reached up to grab the next rail when my boot slipped.. I came tumbling into the rail. "Ow.." I whispered. I had landed on my wound
and had probably caused another cut in my skin near the gun wound. I lied there for a second and thought to myself, 'I dont think I can get up to the window..'
I started to sob.. There was no way out of this. The platform would fall down any minute now and I would be killed instantly when I touch the ground.
I slowly turned myself around with my arms and looked down at the ground. It really is a long fall.. Than I realized.... "Jaska!!!" I screamed. I looked back up
at the window and yelled his name again. Tears ran down my cheeks as I sat there. I finally gave up and slammed my fist into the platform. "Dammit!!" I yelled..
platform and my head hit the fence. I dug my fingers into the tiny holes of the platform floor just as my body slid under the fence, causing me to
be hanging over the edge. I tried to stay still, my eyes wide in terror. "Great.. Just great..." I mumbled. I looked up at the window I had jumped down from.
It was on the other side of the platform. I heard a loud crash and the platform tilted more to the right to where it was almost straight. I had almost
nothing to support my body so I could get myself back onto the platform... I closed my eyes and sighed. I slowly moved my head so my face was
facing the ground and opened my eyes. I gasped, there was some of the platform that broke off on the ground, if I fell down and somehow survived that fall,
the parts to the platform could impale me and kill me instantly...
