The small plane buzzed as it climbed higher into the sky. You sat next to your sister Neela Jolene, both of you nervously adjusting your gear. The view outside was stunning—an endless stretch of clouds and blue sky—but it didn’t make the idea of jumping out any less terrifying.

Neela nudged you with a shaky grin. “Alright, Jake, this is it. Ready?”

You laughed nervously. “Not even close. Are we actually doing this?”

She grinned. “Hey, we promised to face our fears together. Besides, this will be such a cool story later—unless you chicken out,” she teased.

The instructor gave a thumbs-up, and the door slid open, letting in a rush of wind. Neela went first, strapped to her instructor. She glanced back with a nervous smile. “See you down there, Jake!” she shouted before stepping into the sky.

Your turn came next. Your heart pounded as you stood at the edge, but you thought of Neela waiting for you. With a deep breath, you leaped.

The wind roared around you, but soon the fear gave way to pure exhilaration. You spotted Neela below, her arms wide as she grinned. When you landed, she ran over, tackling you in a hug.

“Jake, we did it!” she exclaimed, laughing. “That was insane!”

“Yeah,” you said breathlessly. “And I’d maybe do it again…when I’m dead”

Neela laughs and she realizes she has never missed/ worried about you so much in her life even when she calls you annoying “I’m so happy I’m even still alive”
