Thanks for Pushing Me Off the Roof
831 Views · Ongoing · Piper Hayes
The day college applications were due, Fern Whitmore wouldn't stop crying — and my two childhood best friends were completely wrapped around her finger.
They actually threatened to give up their Ivy League spots to follow her to community college.
I tried everything to talk them out of it. Nothing worked. So I went behind their backs and called both their parents.
Their parents showed up that same night and put a stop to it. Applications corrected, crisis averted, everyone back on track.
Or so I thought.
Fern lost her two personal ATMs, and one night she posted a goodbye message on social media and swallowed a bottle of pills.
Nash and Declan didn't blame her for it. They blamed me.
They lured me up to the roof. Both of them shoved their hands against my chest.
"Maren." Declan's voice was ice. "You ruined Fern's future. Go apologize to her in hell."
I fell twelve stories.
When I opened my eyes, I was back at the beginning.
This time, I'm not saving anyone.
