Ariana’s POV
A crowd of students were already gathered around the building. Gasps and murmurs filled the air as everyone waited for the student to fall.
“What… what are we going to do ma’am?” Sigil asked frantically and just as I opened my confused mouth to talk, the unexpected happened.
It was like a movie, something out of touch with reality, only that it was not. This was real. The student was falling.
At that moment seeing his body falling from such an immense height reminded me of Victor and my failure to save him.
I remembered telling Damon about it last night, how I could barely even breathe sometimes when I remembered him and my inadequacy to help him on time. It kept me up at night most times when I didn’t have work to distract me. That guilt. It ate me alive.”
‘You did what you could, even Victor knew that. Whether or not it was enough doesn’t matter. It has passed and so has he, on his own will. He’s resting now, you should too.’ That was what had Damon said to me.
