"You don't want to do this." She laughs, a cold, mirthless sound. "Oh, but I do. It's perfect. Everyone will think you pushed me. Jayden will hate you forever." I dart forward, grabbing her arm, trying to pull her away from the edge. "No, Ashlyn. Stop!" She starts screaming, "No, Winona! Stop!" Her voice is a shrill, desperate wail, drawing the attention of nearby park-goers.
But she's the one inching closer to the stairs, using my grip to make it look like I'm forcing her, "Please, Ashlyn," I beg, my heart pounding. "Think about the baby." If I let her go now, the sheer momentum will send her tumbling.
She glares at me, her eyes filled with hatred. "This baby is just a tool. You think I care about it? All I care about is ruining you." My grip tightens, and I try to pull her back, but she resists, twisting and struggling against me. "Ashlyn, you're going to hurt yourself!"

I cry out, my voice breaking.

To Abby." "Because I win," she spits back, her eyes gleaming with triumph. "Jayden is mine. And soon, he'll have nothing to do with you or Abby." I use all my strength to hold her back from the edge, my heart racing. "You're not going to win, Ashlyn. Not like this." She struggles against me, her screams echoing in the air. "Let go of me! No, Winona! Stop!"
But I hold on, determined not to let her fall. I see the confusion and fear in the fades of the onlookers, and I know how this must look.
But I can't let her win. Not when so much is at stake.
