He Saved My Life

~ Chapter six ~

Zoe's P.O.V

With my still shaking hands I open my Adidas bag to see if I can find anything usefull. I am searching through the whole bag and then I see something white.

I can't even imagine what the white thing is, because I am so confused, but I take it up and see it. I am so happy, and in this moment I don't know what can make me happier.

It's my powerbank. I don't even remember that it was in my bag, but I don't take my time to think about it either. I am just so happy. At the same time I am not happy, because the fact that my best friend still is laying on the ground without saying any word or show any feelings,  brings me down so much. I am just not deeply down in the ground anymore. I am slowly going up, and now I have the chance to save Melissa, which makes me happier of course.

My feelings are spinning around like a hurricane in my mind and body right now and I barely know what I am doing. The only thing I know right now is that I am supposed to charge my phone while calling Melissa's parents,  so we can call 911 further.

My hands are still shaking and I can barely put the charger into my phone.

The tears are covering my eyes and I can't see what I'm typing. The tears are blurring everything and I can't see the difference between the letters 3 and 5.

*Blinking*, and now the tears are right under my eyes. They are dripping further to my cheeks and down to the end of my face.
One tear is on my phone.

I am typing in the home number because I know that Melissa's parents are home. I click on the button to call and put the phone close to my ear.

"Hello" Melissa's mom says.
Now I realized that I don't have any idea of what to reply or just what to say in general. My voice is still shaking, just like the rest of my body.

"M-M-Melissa" I say with the tears in my throat.
"What do you mean Zoe? What's wrong?"

I really don't know what to say because I am as confused as she probably is , if not even more.

- Can you please come to the gravel road with Mr. Johnson (Melissa's dad). It's about 100 meters from your house. I found Melissa on the ground and I thought that it would be good if you could see her before I would call 911. I am so worried.

- Oh no, I knew that she wouldn't be able to make it up for school today. Is it any blood? Is she feeling well now?

- She is breathing and it's no blood. I don't know what happened. I was just on my way to school and then I saw her, and I was so chocked. She's pretty cold, so could you bring a blanket with you also?

- Of course! Thank you sweetheart! We will be there in a few minutes, she said with a shaking and worried voice. It seems like her tears are in her throat.

I am holding Melissa's hand tight to mine. I have a scarf in my backpack so I take it up and put it around Melissa til her parents are about to come in any second.

5 minutes later

There they are. I see them walking, faster then I've ever seen them walking. Melissa's mom is slowly running with the tears in her eyes. She looks so worried, and I get why she is of course. I think she looks pretty the same as I did when I saw Melissa laying on the ground. I wish she just could say something, anything. I wanna hug her tight and never let go of her. My very best friend, my other half, my everything. I need her, right now.
