My only light went completely dark.

I pushed the door open, tears pouring down my face, staring at the chicken soup in his hand.

“Ethan, I don’t want the candy you gave me anymore. I’m giving it back.”

I stepped back slowly, and Ethan’s face instantly turned ghostly pale. He sensed something and stammered,

“Hannah, let me explain…”

As he got up and lunged toward me, I flipped over the railing, dropping like a bird with broken wings.

With a heavy thud.

I saw Ethan leaning half over the railing, his eyes filled with shattered horror.
