Sentenced - Sydney Dowden (online e book reading .txt) 📗

I here by sentence Alexander Robert Smith to 2 years in state prison. I could still hear the sound of the judges gavel ringing in my ear. The jury had accused me of drunk driving and they were right. Me and my girlfriend had went to a bar and I was driving her home but on the way I hit another car and killed one person and injured two people. The worst part of my sentence is I am banned from seeing my girlfriend ever again. I can't live without Claire.Even though I am not sentenced to death life without Claire may as well be death.

2 years later
Today I got out of prison, but I mean really whats the big deal I have no job, no house, no diploma, I am living off my friend Oliver, I feel pathetic. I am going mad to find Claire and today I read she has been missing since the accident, on the run. I went over every place she wanted to go when we were dating and came to a conclusion she was at Mt. Plesant she always wanted to go there when the were dating she wanted to climb to the top and she wanted to feel the wind on her face and she wanted him to hold her over the edge for the feeling of flying and if I didn't get there soon she would jump of to fly. It would be up to me to save her life and by saving hers I would partly save mine just by seeing her again. I drove up there to save her and saw a person on top the mountain about to jump all I could do was convince her not to, so I screamed at the top of my lungs:
"Don't do it, its me Alexander I'll hold you so you can fly. You don't have to do this I can help you."
"No you can't help me I'm not the same person if you knew what I've done you would understand. No one can help me I might as well end it."
"No you have me do you want to put me through this. Why do you have to end it?"
"I can't handle it no one cares you haven't until now."
"I was in jail for 2 years for drunk driving I'm banned from seeing you they could throw me and jail for this. Please don't do it I can be up there in 5 minutes and save you from death."
"You can't."
"Yes I can, let me try."
I sprinted up the mountain as fast as I can.I made it in time to grab her in a bear hug. I had did it she may not have been the same person she was but I had saved her life.
