" So, how do we do this?" I ask, turning around to face Aiden.
I'm doing all I can to not let the tears fall.
" You know that this is not exactly goodbye."
" It's not the same Aiden, and you know it....."
He sighs, turning away from me and taking a seat at the edge of my bed. I join him after some time and we sit in silence for a few minutes.
" You really are pushing me to kick you out faster."
" Wow, someone's eager to get rid of me." I say sarcastically.
" Yeah, I am, because it'll be much easier to watch you walk away."
" Now, you're the one pushing me to run away." I say, looking away from him.
I can feel my tears pushing to come out.
He sighs. " So, how long will we keep doing this?"
"Until you tell me that you don't want me to go."
" I want you to go."

With careful steps I make it much closer, but still remaining a steps distance from him, where he's not sensed nor seen me. His focus, no doubt is on the bottom." Are you going to jump anytime soon?" He jumps at the sound of my voice, his head snapping to my direction so fast, I hope he doesn't get whiplash.I walk over to stand right next to him, I can feel his eyes intently watching my every move. Resting my arms on the rails, I look at him for a minute before looking down at the wild river below." Don't mind me, I'll just watch."" What?" He asks, sounding confused.I turn to him, to find him looking at me again, his blue eyes shining in the night." I'll watch you attempt to jump, though if you ask me, I don't see you doing it anytime soon." I shrug my shoulders as if I'm not bothered, when my heart is pounding against my chest."

Not to mention, you haven't been picking up my calls.Where the heck ----------" I stop him from going on further, when I close the distance and hug him from around the waist."
