The City Of Astan

Ethan

I smile and nod, standing and helping her up, "I'll try. See you then."

Whit

I stand and kiss his cheek, "See you," I smile and wave before walking inside and locking the door.

Ethan

I smile and nod back before heading down the steps and walking home, very aware of the looks given to me from the paint.

Whit

I take a shower and wash all the paint off myself and my hair, dressing into a flowy mini dress and red heels. I put bright red lipstick on and do my hair in a messy fishtail braid, grabbing a side bag and heading out once its time.

Ethan

I sneak inside and nearly make it to my room undiscovered until Adrian comes out of his and freezes in his tracks.

"I don't... I don't even want to know," he shakes his head, continuing into the kitchen.

I flash a smile and quickly shower, washing the paint off of me and out of my hair. Once done, i dress into a button up and dark jeans with dressier shoes. Fixing my hair, I take a deep breath before heading out and realize this is the first time I've gone anywhere in this town without my jacket or something to hide my eyes with.

Whit

I get there before him and walk around on the roof, looking over the city while biting my bottom lip again. I really need to stop doing that...

Ethan

I reach the building and climb the stairs until I reach the rooftop, finding Whitney already there and pacing around. Flashing a smile, I walk to her and look out at the city, "It really is nice from up here."

Whit

I nod and look at him, stunned by how different he looks. I smile and look out over it again, "It is."

Ethan

I smile back and nod, glancing at her from the corner of my eye and getting an idea. Stepping onto the ledge, I flash a smile and muster up enough of the wind's energy to bend it around me, "C'mere. You ever skydive?"

Whit

I shake my head and walk towards him, "No...why?"

Ethan

I look out at the city and second guess myself for a moment. No. I can do this. There's enough in the air tonight. Looking back at her, I flash a smile, "Do you trust me?"

Whit

I nod, stepping by his side, "Yeah, I do."

Ethan

I hold out a hand for her and smile lightly, composing myself just right for what I plan to do.

Whit

I hesitate before taking his hand, watching him, "What are we gonna do...?"

Ethan

I concentrate, flashing another smile, and take a step off the ledge. The energy from the wind forms an invisible solid beneath my feet and I look back at her, "Just trust me. C'mon."
