But when I kiss Isaac goodbye, step onto the plane with Emerson at my back, guiding me through the process as we reach our appropriate altitude, I feel like my brother is with me.
I reach up and clutch my locket in my hands as the doors slide open, sending wind whirling all around us.
“Ready?” Emerson asks in my ear and I nod. “Three... two... one... Let’s go!”
I don’t know what I expected when we took that step off the plane into a free fall, but it certainly wasn’t peace.
But that’s exactly what I feel. Somehow in the roar of the wind and the adrenaline being produced in my body, a calm floods my mind and I see Jason’s face.
This is what he wanted to chase: the rush, the feeling of nothing and everything all at once. I’ve never felt more connected to him since the day he died than I do right now. Somehow, even though it’s crazy... I can feel him until my feet slide across the grass when we land.
Emerson unhooks herself from my back and I wildly exclaim what a rush it was and that I’m addicted. She just laughs and tells me she knows exactly what that feels like.
We walk together back to the hangar, where Isaac is waiting for me.
As soon as I see him step out of the hangar and face me with his hands in his pockets, looking like a modern day god, I take off in a sprint toward him. I jump into his arms, hugging him as tightly as I can.
“That’s a rush I want to chase forever,” I tell him, as he cups my face.
“Well, I want to chase you forever.” He strokes his thumb over my lips.
“Looks like you’ve already caught me. Now what?” I lean in closer, our mouths nearly touching.
“Lucky for us, we have forever to find out.”
