How are you liking it?

don't worry, Ed will be making an appearance soon!

Im actually getting kinda nervous writing this because it gives me flashbacks of what happened on the day!

enjoy!

The heavy weight was lifted forcefully off me and I felt a spray of water hit my face. I was exposed to the light and I could see a man in a high visibility vest calling out to me. I couldn't hear him although he was right above me, I squinted through the harsh daylight and tried to focus on his voice.

" honey, your bleeding quite badly from your head, but we're gunna get you out of here in a minute, everything will be okay" he said as he crouched down to me, compassion and calmness in his voice.

"okay" I croaked out, my chest was tight and my eyes we're stinging from the smoke id inhaled. I could feel my head now pounding from the sunlight above me.

I was then confronted by two other males, who introduced themselves as Cory, and Andy. They began to cut away the steel and concrete that was pinning me to the ground. I could feel myself becoming free and the pain was unbearable. I began to cry and groan in pain, I couldn't see what was going on around me at this point.

Two strong arms carefully lifted me from the rubble. My head felt heavy and my breathing was wheezy. I looked up at my rescuer and studied him. He looked so familiar, Bright ginger hair, which matched his high visibility vest perfectly and bright blue eyes, brighter than Carols, which was nearly impossible.

The familiar man carried me along mountains of broken buildings, stumbling over rocks and steel framework which had crumbled to the ground. I still didn't know exactly what happened so I cleared my throat and looked up at him.

" what happened?" I whispered as I studied his face.

"well, love, you got trapped in your office building when an earthquake hit" he said calmly, his accent was a strong British one.

" I....I don't remember " I said as I took a deep breath in, filling my stinging chest with fresh air.

" that's probably from your head injury, it's quite bad love" the man, Cory said. He continued carrying me until we came to an open space with hospital stretchers and nurses occupying the area.

The familiar man continued carrying me until he stopped in an open space, which I assumed was Hagley Park. I looked through squinted eyes and saw many hospital stretchers and nurses, standing around, assisting the many injured people surrounding us.

I was taken forward and placed on a bed, Cory still by my side.

I was examined and a bandage was wrapped firmly around my head to stop the bleeding which had decreased, but was still quite rapid.

The nurse asked me my name, my age and a family contact, my only parent. mum. where was she?

the nurse, who introduced herself as Sandy, went away to ring my mum and tell her I was okay.

she came back over to me and Cory with a unknown expression pasted on her tired face.

" I managed to get through to your mothers cell, and someone else picked up. im sorry, your mother has passed away" she said blankly as I took in everything she'd just told me.

" no, no, no!" I cried, tears began to spill out of my eyes, soaking my dirty hands.

" hey, hey, its okay honey" Cory said as he grabbed my hand and gently rubbed circles on the back of it.

" no! no! its not okay! my mother just fucking died!" I screamed as I rubbed my hand on the back of my neck in frustration.

" where's my brother?" I added still with a shaky voice.

" do you have his number? we can call him for you" Sandy said as she placed a soft hand on my spare hand that wasn't occupied by Cory's

" i'll ring him" I said shakily as I reached into my jeans pocket to retrieve my phone, which I was hoping wasn't broken, thank goodness it wasn't.

I dialed my brothers number and waited for him to pick up. instead it went to voicemail. I knew he worked close to me, at a hardware store just down the road, so I was hoping he made it out okay.

" Sandy? is there any way we can see if my brother made it?" I asked curiously as I scanned the crowd for Sam, my big brother.

" I could ask them to announce it over the megaphone" she said, I nodded in agreement and she scurried away.

My mind was suddenly bought back to Cory, he looked so familiar but I could make out who he was.

It was a warm day and he was wearing a blue hoodie underneath his high vis, and I could see his face becoming flush.

he rolled up his sleeves and I was confronted with a sleeve of bright tattoos.

then I clicked.

and I decided to try and trick him.

"Ed?" I said quietly.

"yeah?" he said, his face suddenly realizing i knew who he was. " wait, how did you know it was me?" he said, looking rather surprised.

" your arms gave it away" I smiled lightly through my headache.

" oh, well yeah?" he added turning to face me.

" what are you doing here? I mean in New Zealand?" I asked, I was confused to why he was here because I hadn't heard anything about it.

" im on holiday" he said simply, leaning on the bed.

"oh, well this isn't a good holiday for you" I said as he let out a deep sigh and rubbed his hand on the back of his neck.

" No, I guess not" he said, as he studied my face and my arms, his eyes then travelled down my body.

" quit eye raping me Ed" I giggled as his eyes quickly shot back to my face, his face blushing scarlet with embarrassment.

" sorry, your just beautiful" he said.

" im not beautiful" I said quickly.
