CC's POV

Belladonna had been out for 10 minutes now, and my arms were killing me, no pun intended. I was ready to give up, an di hate to admit that.

Belladonna POV

I went from complete darkness, standing with Jinxx to standing on a thin platform. There was enough room for me to stand, that's it. You know the expression "standing on the edge with your toes hanging off"? Well that is what I mean. When I look down on either side all I see light on one side, "Heaven" I think, and darkness on the other, "Hell". I knew I had to chose.....but I didn't want to die, so I stood there, crying. It felt like forever that I was up there when I felt a sudden rush of air, pulling up away from my ledge.

I shot up, gasping for air, wanting it to rush into my body and to never leave. I felt my chest rising and falling, my heart beating. I was alive. I didn't even have time to recall everything, because I felt arms wrap around me in a blink of an eye. I knew it was CC. He put his head in to the bend of my neck, and stated crying. "I thought I lost you. I tried so hard to save you. I... please don't ever....die again," he uttered through his tears. My hands found their way to the back of his head. I played with his hair, trying to sooth him. "Don't worry CC, I'm not leaving you, ever," I whispered. He pulled himself up and looked at me. He still had a tear on his cheek. I reached up and whipped it away with my thumb. "Belladonna, I want to help you get away from this life. I love you." His words touched my heart. No one cared about me like he did, in fact I think he is the only one who cares. "But what about the other.." I begin to ask. What would I do about the other guys, Ashley and Andy? CC put his lips on mine, to either make me shut up, or because he wanted to make sure I was really there. Either way I didn't care. I was back with him. Back where I am meant to be.
