Chapter 8

His Girl

└────── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ──────┘

Michael looked back noticing you weren't there anymore. He noticed Amanda walking past by him. "Where is she?" Michael asked, glaring at her. "Where's who?" Amanda replied back, clueless as ever. "Y/n" he sighed, running his hands through his hair. He felt his patience run thin.

Thoughts came into his head of what might have happened. "I don't know" Amanda shrugged. "What do you mean you don't know?!" Michael shouted. Everyone turned heads facing the two. "What's going on here?" The counselor walked in front of the two. Michael took a deep breath running his hands through his hair again "Y/n's missing" he said.

The counselor went pale "Oh shit" he mumbled "Um everyone grab a partner and go find her!" He shouted. Michael knew that no one would care about her. He sighed with frustration and traced their steps back. I'm sure there's something you would've left right?

Luckily he found your foot prints leading up to a bush. He felt almost a sense of relief hoping you were okay and just got lost. Something as simple as that. But unfortunately life isn't like that.

He looked beyond the bushes, seeing the edge of a cliff and the heavy sound of water rushing. His heart began to pound. He cursed under his breath, rushing to the edge of the cliff where your foot prints end. He looked beyond the heavy river and spotted you at the surface. His eyes went wide and he didn't hesitate to jump in that river. He didn't give a second to think the moment he saw you.

"Y/n!" He shouted and yelled your name multiple times. He began swimming, fighting the current of the river. Soon he approached you and realized your eyes were closed "Shit shit shit" he began to
panic. He immediately held you close to him.

He began swimming towards the land. His heart was rapidly beating fast, he felt as if he was almost out of air. He looked at your face and fought through the current. He carefully carried you out of the water. He sat down holding you in his arms. He gently slapped your cheek "Y/n? Y/n? Please wake up please"

He quickly began performing cpr and after a while you started coughing water. "Y/n?" He lifted you up slowly, as you continued to cough up water. A wash of relief went through Michael. You gasped for air, continuously coughing. You felt a pair of strong arms slowly wrap around you.

A surge of adrenaline coursed through you as you realized that you weren't alone. Someone saved you. "Thank goodness you're okay" you heard a sigh from a familiar British boy. Michael. You felt relieved knowing that Michael was by your side. Then you thought he saved you. "How did you find me?" you slowly spoke. Your memory was fuzzy but you knew someone had to push you down that cliff. The last thing you remembered was trying to fight the rush of the current.

"God I don't even know- I'm just.. I-I'm glad you're s-safe" Michael stuttered. You slightly smiled "Thank you" you kissed his cheek without hesitating. His face flushed red over his sunkissed skin and his pretty freckles. "You checked around your surroundings, the hot beam of the sun made the two of you sweat despite coming out from the cold water. "We should hurry and find the others" you suggested. "Mm yeah" Michael hummed in response. He picked you up and carried you "What are you doing?" you furrowed your eyebrows "You nearly died." Michael began walking down the dirt trail.
