The Cabin

Part 12

I saw my sister begin to cry. Could she read my thoughts? No, I mean she cant read my thoughts anyway and this is all a dream...this is a dream, right?

I didn't want to leave her again, I couldn't hurt her like that. I hated that I did that once, I won't do it again.

I remember how she left me a message, a message saying that we should go away together. We both had so many problems in our life and this is a hopeful solution. We both had experience in hurting ourselves, so why not go away for a little while? Heal ourselves before anyone else.

I gripped her hand and spoke to my loving friend "Sasha? Wanna go away for a while? Just the two of us?"

I can picture it now, I had always wanted to live in a little cottage. A sweet and quaint little house with overgrown vines wrapped around it.

We could find a small house in the country and live peacefully for a while, just the two of us. Brother and sister, reunited, together at last.

Banner joined in on the conversation with his wise words "Sasha, I think you should go with Peter, just for a little while. You need the fresh air and Pete could help"

She looked in my eyes, for once I couldn't read her "You mean like run away? Pete, you know I can't just run away from my problems"

My heart sunk as she spit out those words, plummeting to my knees.

She had been so ready to go along with this plan months ago, what changed?

She started to walk up to the roof as I followed, I had a guess at what she was tempted to do but I refused to believe it. I cried as I said a few words, trying to stop her "I can't live without you... please- let's just figure this out"

She stood at the edge, looking down to the busy streets below. Cars flying on the ground without a care in the world.

"You said... you said you would never leave me. That you would never let go" My tears grew with every breath I took. I could see that she was broken inside, just like me.

"I don't want to be like this anymore. I don't want to be that kind of person for you" With those words I realized what happened, she took her pills again.

She turned for a few seconds, showing her wet face. It started to rain, storm clouds rising above the city skyline. She felt lost, unsure of the future.

Who was I to tell her everything would get better? I almost killed myself yesterday, only to be stopped by her.

She means everything to me and I couldn't let her go. I ran behind her, grabbing her hand. Her body shifted forward, leaning off the roof. The urge to shoot a web passed my head but I remembered that I left my web shooters on the plane.

Her head turned slightly as she whispered "I love you..."

This has to be a nightmare. This couldn't possibly be real... my sister couldn't be ready to jump.

I felt her yank my arm, causing me to let go.
