The Verdict: Atty. Elara Lynette Miranda

Chapter 6

HA... the sky is beautiful.

What a pleasant day to hang my head.

I closed my eyes and feel the cold breeze on the top of a building.

Is this where it will all end?

Should I just jump and let all my worries disappear?

"What should I do?" I said.

As soon as I opened my eyes, a majestic view appear.

The sun is slowly setting, the color of the sky is mixed of blue and orange. The place is awfully quiet as if no one is around.

I guess this is the perfect place to end it.

I sighed deeply while peeking down the building.

"Holy shit. I'm supposed to jump this height?"

Allah, Buddha, Lord, Jesus, Vishnu, Shiva... Don't let my soul be burned in hell, amen.

I slowly took my foot off the building, shutting both of my eyes while hugging myself.

I took a deep breath before letting my body fall.

But... I'm afraid of heights!

"MISS!"

I felt a warm hand gripping my right hand. I slowly opened my eyes...

A handsome face that is being reflected by the sun appeared right in front of me.

Worry filled his face, sweats are dripping down, he's running out of breath.

"Are you alright?" He exclaimed.

I stared at him. "Who are you."

A smile slowly formed in his face. All the uncertainty, worry and fear suddenly disappeared.

"I'm your angel and savior."

It wasn't just about being boastful and handsome.

He had a memorable face.

"I'm Devon Selvantes."

He laughed, as if to the point of blinding people.

For a moment, my heart was racing and my stomach felt queasy.

I'm not fond of this emotions, I no longer want to feel them.

So...

I trampled on it. Not to feel again.

"I won't like you." I mumbled.

"Miss, let's go down."

"I'm gonna go down, the fastest way I know."I said as I let his hand go and slowly fall down.

"Shit!"

My eyes widen when he suddenly jumped.

The next thing I knew... His body is being wrapped into mine.
