Acting crazy ii

Josephine POV
He kept driving to the deeper part of the forest, I felt oddly elated when my eyes landed on him, the man that makes me overwhelmed with different emotions.
Jacob was standing beside the tree while looking at me with so many emotions, but the moment, Aiden noticed the presence of Jacob, he immediately pointed a gun at me and went behind me.
"Don't you dare come closer to her, because the moment you do, I'll blow her brains out" he threatened, his voice was etched with fear, I wonder can't accept that he has lost the battle and gotten things over with?
"We can talk this out like men, just let her go pleased," he said, which made me shake my head, I know what Aiden is capable of, for him to have shot Celine without a care in the world, it only means that he has gone far with his atrocities.
" Please let go of her" Jacob pleaded, but he was Adamant before he started moving backward and he still firmly had me in his grip, he was using me as a shield in other to escape.
" You need to stop this Aiden, I know you are a good person, you won't achieve anything by doing this" Jacob said to him which made him shake how head vehemently in response because he doesn't want to do that, my heart was beating so fast, it felt like ages that I have set my eyes on him and letting him go is something I don't want to happen.
"Please Aiden doesn't do this, you are more than this," I said to him but he was adamant about achieving his aim, I couldn't believe that Aiden would eventually turn out to be a monster, the man that was one kind and loving had now turned to someone I no longer recognize.
He kept on walking backward, then when we were out of view, he started running and he was dragging me, I was screaming for help, I don't want anything to happen to me, I know that Aiden had finally lost because he's no longer in the right State of mind.
He was unstoppable, I wished I could stop him and make him do the right thing, but he was adamant about achieving his aim, I couldn't believe that he has now finally managed to turn out to be a monster that was never before.
He stopped running, when he noticed that we were in the clearing and we standing on a cliff and below was overflowing water, he turned to look back Only to hear grunts and approaching footsteps, he was about to jump into the water.
He look intently at the water, then at approaching footsteps that were coming from behind.
It was clear that he was in a dilemma and he doesn't want to give in, despite knowing he has already lost the battle.
" We are jumping," he said. I started struggling to remove my wrist from his predatory grip, but he was just too strong that no matter how I tried, I'm finding it hard to be out of his grip.
"Please let go of me" I pleaded, my eyes already welling up, I couldn't think of a good solution to this, my heart was threatening to explode, just From the thought of jumping on that great heights, I came to realize that he has finally lost it, why would someone in his right state of mind think of doing something as outrageous as that.
"I'm not jumping," I said Adamantly and before I could say another word, I immediately dragged him and he jumped into the water, I closed my eyes I was already telling Jacob how much I love him and how I'll have loved to spend more time with him.
Only to feel a firm grip on my left wrist, I looked, only to notice that Jacob was struggling to pull me up.
"I got you, I got you... You are safe now" he informed me, a smile sprawled on my lips, then I came to realize that Aiden was dragging me downwards, while firmly holding my both legs, I felt so heavy.
" Let go of me, I don't want to die with you" I cried with w very hoarse voice, but he was adamant about having me in a very firm grip that Made me even more scared than I had anticipated, I couldn't believe that he was Adamant in achieving his aim.
He was so heavy, that I felt my hand slipping from Jacob's grip, " noo...." I cried softly, the thought of not having the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with the man who has always genuinely loved me. I closed my eyes, as a tear slipped to the corner of my eye, I noticed how he was groaning and suffering alone while trying to pull both of us, he was almost slipping into the water and I know he has a whole life ahead of him, I don't want him to risk his life while saving mine.
I remembered how we were very close friends I'm High school and how we both loved each other, And he eventually confessed his feelings, I remembered his smiles and the way he would almost give me that reassuring look whenever I'm about to give up on something, I came to realize that all this while I had a jewel, but I was never appreciative of what I have until now that I'm about to lose it.
"Hold my hand, your hand is slipping," he said with more determination etched in his voice.
" No... what's the use, we are both heavy..." I pursed, and he started shaking his head violently.
I hate to say those words, but I know he is better off without me and he would find someone who will love him more than I'll ever will, "you have to let go" I said gently.
He shook his head vehemently, which clearly illustrates that he's not doing that.
My hand slipped from his hand even further while Aiden kept on dragging me from below.
"You have to let go, everything would be fine," I said to him.
"No... no" he shook his head vigorously and I knew that he doesn't want to let go, but he has to, he was determined on dragging both of us, despite the fact he was sweating profusely and he was tired.
" No I can't let you die, I should die, but...".
"No buts, everything, what use did I have for you anyway, I never loved you, but you kept on loving me, you were ready to let me just because you wanted my happiness, And tell what's the use of living, when you can find someone who will love you and care for you more than you ever thought possible, it's high time you let go," I said, my eyes welling up with hot tears, he shook his head and he attempted the drag me even further, only for my hand to slip from his grip.
But before I could fall, he caught me, he was so determined, he was not letting go, he wanted to have me close to him.
"Please don't let go, please" the panicked voice of my Aiden was heard for the first time, he was struggling to catch up with me before Aiden started dragging me in an attempt to climb on me so he would survive, I looked down then my eyes opened wide when I noticed crocodiles.
In his attempts to climb on me, my hand fully closed my eyes, expecting dead.
