my hero, bloody raven [reading e books .txt] 📗

it's a cold rainy night, the sounds of the energetic city rush through the air. i lean my head back and let the cool rain drip onto my face. i kick my feet as they hang off the side of the building. most people would feel like a king if they were 30 stories off the ground. not me though... i feel like a baby bird getting ready to fly out of the nest, but instead of flying i'll be falling. i look down at the passing cars and fast walking people, its a long way down...just sitting here with my feet dangling off the edge sends chills up my spine. the rain's coming down hard... at least that will wash away my blood when i hit the ground. i stand up and feel the air blow through my hair. its begging me to jump, pushing towards the edge. i close my eyes and take a deep breath, good bye world. "NO!!! STOP!!!" a hand grabs my arm and yanks me away from the edge. "NO!! LET GO OF ME!!! I HAVE TO JUMP!!!" i scream as i struggle to escape the strangers clutch. "NO, I WONT LET YOU!" the stranger spins me around and looks into my eyes. i stand there frozen, staring into his eyes. they're the most beautiful eyes i have ever seen, they're an amazing shade of bright green. "w-who are you?" i whisper, my eyes still locked on his eyes. "your hero." this comment snaps me back to reality. "HERO?! YOU DIDN'T HELP ME!!! I WANTED TO JUMP! BUT YOU STOPPED ME!!" i scream once again i start struggling to get away from him. "why would you want to jump?" he tightens his grip on me and i look him dead in the eyes and say "because my life isn't worth living" he pulls me closer to him. then his lips meet mine and a huge montage flashes in my mind. im sitting in a corner crying... a dark shadow starts getting closer to me. then the stranger... he jumps in front of me and fights the shadow away. i gasp and fall to my knees as soon as he takes his lips off mine. "what... who....who are you?" i whisper. he kneels next to me and once again whispers "your hero...." i look up at him with tears rolling down my face. "who did you save me from?" he looks down at his feet and says "a bad man, he slipped some pills in your drink that make you forget everything. you were at a party and he tried hurting you...but i stopped him. thats why you want to die. you've been mentally scarred but you dont remember." i look down at the ground and watch the water drip off my hair and into a puddle. "you.... you did save me...thank you." he looks up at me and i look up at him. i sit up and stare in to his eyes. he puts his hand on my cheek and says "you dont remember anything do you?" i shake my head and he sighs "we were married... until he gave you those pills.... then you didn't remember me and you were afraid of me." my eyes widen and i say "m-married?" he slowely pulls my head in closer to his and kisses me. the flashback starts again and i see the wedding and i see us in a small little house together. he removes his lips and i gasp again and i almost pass out. he catches me and keeps me from falling. i look up at him, a tear rolls down my cheek. "M-M-Micheal?" he smiles and and hugs me. "yes...emily i missed you so much!" i start crying and laughing "you are my hero! i love you!"
