“Eben stop!” You screech, your grip tight around his arm as he mocks pushing you off the edge. He throws his head back with laughter and you step away from the edge, “I can’t do it.” He calms down in the space of a second and meets your gaze, “You can, it’ll be fine, remember I’m coming down right after you.” “That doesn’t help.” “You don’t think I’m shitting myself scared?” He deadpans, causing you to giggle a little. You take a few deep breaths, bringing your heart rate down, “If I die, I’m haunting you first.” You point at Eben before turning back to the edge. “Are you ready miss?” You nod, “Ready as I’ll ever be, if I don’t go now I won’t end up going ever.” The man beside you nods and tells you to step towards the edge. Half of your left foot is hanging over the edge now and you almost fall when you look down, the dizzying height making you unsteady as you grab the handrails. You look back up at Eben who has moved closer and is now almost right beside you, on the safe side of the barrier. “I’m just going to keep looking at you because if I look back I’m going to fall.” You say, starting to panic. “You’ll be alright, don’t think about it-” “No I’m just gonna keep looking at you.” You say again, “I won’t fall, I’ll be fine.” You feel the mans hand on your back and you suck in a breath, “Count me down.” You look around, seeing Zack with his camera out, filming everything, the boys readying themselves for their jumps, Eben right by your side.
“Three!” You take a deep breath.
“…” You can hear your heartbeat in your ears.
“Two!” You break your gaze away from Eben, looking straight out at the trees.
“…” You spot a lone hawk swooping above the treetops, searching for food.
“One!” You let go of the railings on either side of you and cross your arms over your chest.
“…” There’s a moment of silence, in which you take a final second to admire the surroundings. It’s beautif-
“GO!” The final shout snaps you out of your peaceful state and you step forwards, the hand on your back helping you along until you can no longer feel it against your back.
You start to fall, headfirst at that, the air whipping past your ears and causing your eyes to water. You let out a scream which echoes around the gully, setting some birds into flight with panic not so unlike your own. Your arms fly above your head, or should I say below, as you fall, as if some pitiful attempt to stop a painful landing. When it happens you’re not ready for it. Your fall slows dramatically in the space of a second and you fly back up, your stomach feeling like it’s rushing into your head. As yous tart to fall again you catch sight of the boat, now below you, with people reaching out towards you. Reaching out, tears dripping out of your eyes into the river, you grab a pole and let yourself go limp. Your body touches the boat and they start to remove the rope from around your ankles, sending it back up. The world seems far away and you lie there for a few seconds, dizzy and dazed. You can vaguely hear the shouts and cheers of the boys far above you, echoing around the river like your screams were a minute ago. "Miss are you alright?“ A voice cuts in and you sit up abruptly, patting yourself down to make sure you’re still intact, before sighing, “I’m alright.” You reply.
“I swear I’m going to kill you.” You mutter, a blanket wrapped around your shoulders. He chuckles, “You enjoyed it, don’t lie.” Rolling your eyes you nod, “Yeah it was fun once I got over the fact I was literally falling into an abyss of death.” Eben wraps his arms around you, pulling you into his chest, “Hey, I’m right here, it’s alright.” You nuzzle your face against his chest, your hands clutching the corners of your blanket and wrapped around his torso under his arms. You take deep breaths, listening to his heartbeat and letting it calm you. “I did have fun.” You mumble, shifting your head to you’re resting it on his shoulder facing his neck, “But don’t tell the guys that, they’ll make me do something stupid like that again.” He chuckles, the sound vibrating through your body, “I love you.” “I love you too babe.” You mumble, loving the feeling of just being.
