"I. . .I think I l-love you!" I stammered," Would you please be my g-girlfriend?

She had a puzzled look on her face. Then a surprised one. 

She opened and laughed a bit. A smile appeared on her face.

Being the shy guy that I was, doing something as bold as a confession was unheard of. I basically conjured up all of my courage to tell her my feelings. I had no more courage left in me to say anything else. I could only wait for her answer.

After a long silence she finally answered,"Is this a joke?"

My heart sank.

"Come on, it is isn't it!"

No

"You would never say something like that right?"

That's not. . .

"Who put you up to this? Mikhail?"

Please stop

She punched my arm smiling,"Playing pranks on me now?"

"Inviting me to the annual festival, taking me up on the tallest building in the city, and confessing?"

Stop

"It is a joke right?"

STOP!

"Haha. . . you caught me"

She had a look of accomplishment on her face now. 

"Since I caught you, it's punishment time!"

"You have to use the stairs to get down now"

She walked towards the elevator and pressed the button.

She walked into the elevator.

"If you use the elevator behind my back I'll be very angry. See ya later!"

The doors were moving when I felt myself racing towards her. 

I reached out my arm

"WAIT!"

I stood in front of the door watching the numbers go down.

80, 75, 70, 60. . .

Oh , I have to catch up to her.

I ran down those stairs faster than Jack and Rose's relationship.

I reached the lobby huffing and puffing covered in sweat.

I opened the lobby door and walked into a swarm of people. 

How the hell am I supposed to find her?

I ran around everywhere.

10 minutes. . .

30 minutes. . .

1 hour. . .

Finally I found her. 

She was at the heart of the festival standing next to a fountain.

"Hey—!"

I didn't finish

I saw Mikhail walk up to her.

He said something and they both laughed.

He held her hand.

She smiled while blushing.

I stepped back.

I ran away

What was the weather forecast today?

5% chance of rain?

With all of this rain it should've been 100%

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I found myself back at the top of that building. The fireworks were about to start.

"I'm so pitiful"

I chuckled a bit.

Rain started to fall again.

You told me that this place was perfect. 

You said that you would help me.

You said that you were my friend.

Mikhail

I leaned on the rails.

BOOM! 

 

The fireworks had begun.

I looked to my left

I looked to my right

I looked up—the sky looks beautiful tonight

I looked down

The sky was slowly drifting away from my reach

The broken rail caught onto my foot 

Ah, If I had one more chance  I would take it.

I've never made a new year's resolution but hey, it's now or never.

I closed my eyes and
