Drabble Challenge - Falling

Falling

 

Doyle pulls the trigger and hears a dull click.

 

Stoppage.

 

He throws himself to one side, but already knows he’s too late. The bullet slams into his shoulder, pushing him over the edge of the rooftop.

 

Flailing his good arm, hand clutching at thin air, he’s desperate for purchase on something, anything. A flash of green passes by and his fingers curl around something cool, something strong. Something alive.

 

Just like Bodie, he thinks, clutching the ivy and steadying himself against the brickwork, willing the pain in his shoulder to go away.

 

Saving me when I thought I was lost.

Sorry about the sickly-sweet ending, guys. I was going to put on a warning, but decided not to. *eg*
