Chapter 37 Neighbors

• I've been scrambling backward on my hands and ass, my movement uncontrolled as fear gripped me. My heart left my body when my hand met nothing but air. That's right, I'm already at the edge of the rooftop and I could feel myself falling, but I couldn't bring myself to scream. It's like my voice got stuck in my throat, I was still in an appalled state. The only thing in my mind then is… this is it Laney, the day I will die.
• I shut my eyes tightly, waiting for the impact when my body will hit the ground. However, just at the last minute, I felt hands wrapping around my waist, the next moment, I felt air whipping around me then everything became silent.
• “Look at me, Laney.” I shook my head.
