Trapped in a mall, with a HOT guy... for Four days over xmas!?!
Chapter 4
Ash's POV
I ran towards the shop my heart pounding in my ears. Please be ok, I begged. I was running up the stairs as it was shorter and anyway if I was stood in a elevator I would go out of my mind. I ran down the hall, my mind full of bad images that I didn't want to see which only made me more anxious.
I turned the last corner and the shop came in view. I couldn't really see it it was dark, the only light was from dim energy saving security lights that only gave out a tiny amount of light. The shop shutter was up and the door was open, I didn't think much of it as I was too worried about Rachael. I was running down the hall as fast as my legs could possibly carry me and still it wasn't fast enough. The shop was at the end of the hall, it had to be the one furthest away didn't it?, each as second I knew she was in even more danger. It seemed like a life time, the time it took me to get to the shop.
When i EVENTUALLY got to the shop i sprinted inside, breathing 10 breaths a second but not caring. I was only bothered about Rachael, who was on the floor, legs poking out from behind the counter. Words couldn't describe how I felt at that moment, she was on the floor with god knows what injuries, she could even be dead. And it was my fault. What was I thinking?
I got to her only to see her lying, eyes colsed and a blood gash on her head. What happened? I edged around her and sat down next to her. She didn't even sturr. I could feel the tears forming behind my eyes, begining to stream over. I bent down towards her, wrapped my arms aorund her and cradled her. The tears were begining to fall uncontrollably, they ran down my face and dripped off onto her hair.
I shifted so I was sat properly on the floor without letting her go. My leg brushed something on the floor I looked over to the thing and saw a red thing glinting in the dark. Her bag i realised, the thing that made her come back . All her stuff had come out of it and was spralled on the floor. Most of it was smashed. I wanted to tear it into shreds, but i knew that that wouldn't help her.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw another glint of red. It was blood, Rachael's blood, it was on the corner of the counter. That must be how she hurt her head, she must have whacked it on the corner of the counter. But that would have knocked her out and she wouldn't scream. She did scream though, but why? what happened?
My heart throbbed, I hated seeing her like this, all broken and fragile. She wasn't like this, she was tough and nothing could get to her, what could have happened to make her like this. What ever it was it won't happen to her again, I won't let it, and i have to stop crying. Especially if I am giong to look out for her, I have to be strong.
I took one hand from around her, still holding her in my other arm and firecly wiped my tears away. Replacing it around her i took a deep breath but when i looked back at her lying there helpless, I felt like i was going to start crying again. I took another deep breath to calm myself down, when really my insides were hurting like hell. I bent down and kissed her lightly, tenderly on the forehead, while squeezing my eyes shut. I pulled back with my eyes still closed when i heard her groan.
My eyes flew open and I stared at her in shock. At first she didn't move or groan again and I thought i had imagined it, my mind giving me what I so desperately wanted, but then she stirred. I gasped and she slowly opened her eyes. At first I didn't think she could see me, but then she stared at me in disbelief. I let out a breath that I hadn't realized i was holding. I was about to smile at her when her expression changed from disbelief to anger. What the hell?
