To Be By My Side

LUKE

My heart is beating in my throat as I take a leap of faith. I do not know where I am going and I almost can not see a thing but all I know is that I need to get to Mikayla as soon as possible. I feel the ice-cold wind blowing against my body and I swing for a few moments beneath the helicopter.

I need to find my bearings first before I can ascend even further. I was right when I said that this is almost like bungee jumping and propelling down a mountain. The only difference is there is no stability. Also, I am immediately soaking wet from the rain.

I take a deep breath and then go as slow as I possibly can. I know that I will get to the ground eventually but I have to take my time and be careful. I get halfway down the rope when suddenly the helicopter swerves to the side. I hold on for dear life as the rope almost hits a tree.
