"Hayden! Hayden! Don’t scare
like this! Wake up please…please!" I shouted so loudly, and I felt like I was about to lose my mind. I have never felt this desperate before in my life.
I looked down at Hayden’s unconscious face with his eyes closed and I started crying even harder, my teardrops falling down onto his face.
I’m so sorry, Hayden. This all happened because I decided to run off. Why didn’t I listen to him when he told
to stop or when he told
again and again that it was dangerous? I’m so stupid…and now Hayden is hurt because of …because he tried to protect …
I squeezed his hand in mind tighter as I brought it up to my lips. I buried my face into his hand as I continued to cry. How can I get help?!
"I won’t disobey you again…I’ll do anything…please wake up Hayden. Please…save Hayden…" I said desperately as more hot tears ran down my face.
My whole body shook, and my eyes stung with tears. What would I do if I lose Hayden here? I didn’t even get the chance to thank him? How am I supposed to live with myself?
"Do you…an it?"
I heard a weak whisper and realized that it was Hayden speaking. I looked down at my lap to see that Hayden had opened his eyes and was staring up at .
"Hayden…thank god…" I said as relief flooded . He’s awake…he’s conscious.
I was so overjoyed that I instinctively pulled Hayden in for a hug. I hugged his body close to mine, cradling his head against my chest. Hayden’s going to be fine. I wasn’t sure if I was hugging him to comfort him or to comfort myself. I guessed, I probably needed more comforting than he did…
"Why are you crying?" Hayden asked, sounding confused.
"Hayden…you’re bleeding…" I said weakly, my voice cracking.
"I’m ok…it’s just a scratch…" Hayden said as if his wounds were nothing.
No…it’s not…
"Are you ok? You’re bleeding…where does it hurt?" I asked. I felt so worried about him.
"I’m ok…" Hayden said as he began to sit up.
"You shouldn’t move!" I protested quickly as I grabbed his shoulders to support him.
"If I don’t move then how are we supposed to get out of here?" Hayden asked.
I was shocked at the seriousness of his tone. Even when he’s this hurt, it seed that Hayden was more in control of the situation than I was. I watched in amazent as he slowly sat up and rubbed his head.
"Your head is bleeding…Hayden," I whispered softly.
"This much won’t kill , don’t worry your silly little head," Hayden said casually, brushing off my worries.
I wasn’t sure if he really ant what he said or if he was just saying these things to stop
from worrying. Regardless, I really appreciated his effort in trying to calm
down and of course, what he did to save
from harm. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the state my body would be in if Hayden hadn’t used his body to shield
from the impact of the fall.
Hayden swung his arm around as if checking for other injuries. He seed very satisfied with the state that his body was in as he stood up. I slowly got to my feet too. Hayden began feeling the pockets of his pants before reaching in and pulling out his phone.
Oh…thankfully Hayden had his phone with him.
"Shit…there’s no signal. What a joke…seriously…" Hayden said as he stared at his phone.
"There’s no signal?!" I exclaid in shock. We’re in the city, how co there’s no signal? Did I run that far into the forest?
"Yeah…can you walk?" Hayden asked as he looked
up from head to toe.
"I’m ok…I’m not hurt…thanks to you," I mumbled as I felt his eyes on my body.
"Good. Let’s go," Hayden said as he extended a head towards .
I reached out my hand and took his imdiately, feeling thankful for his warm touch. The feel of his hand reassured
that he was ok…that he was alive. Hayden began walking in front of , but I called for him to stop.
"Hayden…wait!" I cried out to him.
"What is it?" Hayden asked as he glanced back at , stopping in his track.
"Umm…let
support you," I said.
I quickly walked to his side and linked his arm with mine. Hayden looked at
with a surprise look before he smiled gently at . That smile really took
by surprise. The way his emotionless face transford when he smiled was breathtakingly beautiful. Despite the dire situation that we were in, I felt my heart skip a beat shalessly…
It was dark and I was starting to wonder where we were headed or if Hayden knew where we needed to go. I walked patiently by his side as Hayden guided us away from the cliff that we had just fallen down from.
"We can’t climb up the cliff but if I rember correctly there’s a way that we can circle around and go back…that or we find a place where my phone can pick up signal and call for help," Hayden explained to ease my worries.
"Ok…sounds like a good plan…" I whispered.
That wasn’t what I really wanted to say to him though. What I truly wanted to say was to thank him for saving
and to apologize for my stupid and selfish action that led us into this ss. However, I couldn’t bring myself to voice those thoughts, I was scared of what he would say to
if I did.
I couldn’t read Hayden at all so I couldn’t tell what he was feeling or thinking. However, I was sure that he was angry at
because if I were him, I would be as well. Suddenly, I felt very ashad of myself, and the burden of the bla felt a hundred tis heavier than it did before. I followed behind him wordlessly as I hung my head low.
