GENEVIEVE
I’ve called you five times today. I won’t tell anyone about us, and I won’t testify. I promise.
Here are my resting coordinates.
I love you.
Ihave nothing left to live for.
Everything I’ve worked hard to attain is being ripped away, and no amount of positive thinking can convince me otherwise.
Brett is determined to ruin every facet of my life, and after watching him dismantle opponents he hardly ever knew, I know he’ll work overtime on destroying me.
Letting go on the count of three.
One, two…
I let go of the railing and steal one last glance at this city before my body hits the ice-cold water.
Water rushes my lungs, and although my mind begs me to fight for survival and claw my way back to the surface, I don’t.
I give in.
I’m gone.

So, that Good Samaritan fucked me over again?
I can’t feel my arms or my legs, so I open my mouth in an attempt to speak. To tell them to throw me back where I was.
Suddenly, I can no longer hear anything.
And the bright lights dim to blackness.

“Why ishehere?” Genevieve’s mother screeches when I step into the room. “Security! Security!”
“This man abused my daughter!” her father calls out. “He shouldn’t be on the approved visitors’ list!”
I ignore them and walk over to Genevieve’s side. Grabbing her bandaged hand, I shake my head in utter disgust.
