The Jump
Then we jump. When we say the cliff it looked like a long fall, but really it’s so short. As I was falling my life flashed before my eyes. I saw my mom, a single parent who tries their hardest to stay happy for her kids. Next, I saw my father, who passed away. I immediately started crying, my tears flew up above me. I looked over at my sister, I could see her tears flying up above her too, she must’ve seen the same thing I had.
We hit the water hard with a big splash. When I came up to the surface her hand wasn’t in mine. I went back under and saw her falling slowly, I swam down, grabbed her and pulled her towards the surface. I dragged her to the side of the lake and cradled her in my lap.
