"We're here!" Channing calls out to us.

Nick and I started walking closer to Channing and we were finally here. I could already hear the sound of the waterfall and when I stood right next to Channing, the view was always breathtaking. I missed this place too much and I'm just glad we're back here. This time, Nick is with us.

Channing starts walking on the downhill pathway, closer to the waterfall while Nick helped me walking down. We finally reached where Channing was and it was evident on his face that he was excited as I am. All of us put our bags down on the ground and Channing isn't wasting any time cos he's already taking his shirt off. His body didn't change at all. He looked at me.

"Come on guys. Let's waste no time and have fun." Channing says to me.

Channing walks up to a higher spot, the same spot where we'd jump off together.

"Do you remember this spot Annie? It's where you'd always beg for me to jump with you." Channing smiled.

I blushed. "Yeah. Thanks for the embarrassment today Channing."

He laughs. He takes a few steps back before running towards the edge and finally jumps to the waterfall. Channing was an excellent swimmer, back in high school the swimming team asked for him to join but he chose football. I clapped for Channing anyways. Now I'm even much more excited. I started taking my shirt then slipped my shorts off my legs. Now that I'm wearing my yellow bikini, I noticed that Nick was just staring at me.

"Aren't you gonna swim?" I asked.

"Come on Annie! Take a solo jump. It's safe." I hear Channing.

"You know I have weak knees." I said.

He laughs. "Nick can jump with you. Come on guys. We're here to have fun."

I gazed at Nick. "Will you jump with me?"

"You jump. I jump." He said.

I smirked. "Titanic."

He slightly smiled and he starts taking off his shirt. Both of us headed to the spot where Channing jumped off and now my knees are shaking. It's been a long time since I came here standing on this spot and I still get scarf every single time. I hear Channing laughing while he was floating down below us.

"Still scared Annie? I just can't believe you right now. Come on and just jump baby girl." Channing cheers.

"Just give me a second." I say.

"Your second always turns into a minute then more minutes. Just jump. I'm here, you're safe. And you're jumping with Nick so it makes you safer." Channing said.

Suddenly I feel Nick holding my hand and I just can't look away. He's looking at me while he takes a hold tight on my hand.

"I'm here. Let's jump." He said to me.

I exhaled heavily. I can do this. I can do this. I'm not scared. I cheered myself. Nick and I started running to the edge while I was letting myself scream and scream until we jumped off. We started falling down together
