He Saved My Life

Chapter seven

Melissa's P.O.V

I see them. There they are. Melissa's parents. I see her mom who's slowly running with the tears in her eyes. I feel so bad for her. I've never seen her this worried before. I think that she pretty much looks like I did when I first saw Melissa on the ground.

I am waving to them while holding Melissa's hand tight to mine. I will not let go of her.
A few seconds later and her mom is here. Melissa's dad still have a few meters to go.

The first thing Melissa's mom is doing is to let go of everything she holds and grab her daughter's hand while the other one is covering her mouth. She can't believe that her daughter is laying on the ground like this, and the scariest of all is that both she and me doesn't know why.

After a couple of seconds she now came to hug and thank me. Thank me for being so caring and calling them to tell them about Melissa.
"Are you okay sweetheart?"
"I don't know, I am just so worried" I say with a shaking voice.
"Everything will be alright, okay?"
"O-o-okay" I say with the tears in my eyes.

Melissa's dad is now here and he is asking me how I feel while taking up a blanket.

"I can do it" I say.
"Here you go sweetheart" Melissa's mom say while giving me the blanket.
I am carefully wrapping the blanket around Melissa's body. She's probably so cold.

"So, how did you find Melissa here?" Melissa's mom is asking.
"It's a long story that I will tell you soon. Is that okay? I just don't feel that well right now Mr. & Mrs. Johnson.
"Of course sweetheart!"

While I am still holding Melissa tight while shaking, Melissa's mom take her phone to call 911. I feel, well, I actually don't know what I feel. I'm feeling confused, sad, scared and happy at the same time. I'm happy because I found her. If I wouldn't, I don't know what would happen to her. At the same time I'm sad for it because it broke my heart to see her laying on the ground, but I'm so thankful for the fact that I did found her of course. I don't know, I just don't know. How will all of this end? 

I can see Melissa's mother shaking while she's waiting for the answer. It still feels so bad inside me, because she feels this way.

After a few seconds which feels like hours and years, someone is answering. I can't hear anything and it's even harder to hear or even see anything when I'm breathing so heavily and everything is blurry from the tears that's streaming down my face. Everything is still so new. Everything just went so fast. It's like a big explosion. I don't even know if I've been here for years or minutes. Every thought in my head is spinning around like a hurricane.

I see Melissa's mom ending the call. While holding Melissa's hand, still not letting go of it, I ask Melissa's mom how everything went with my still shaking voice. It's not shaking as much anymore, but my teeth are still shaking a bit.

"They're coming in any minute. Everything will be fine" Melissa's mom says while wiping a tear away from underneath her eye.

The first thing I got to think about was Shawn's lyrics of "Treat you better" when Mrs. Johnson said that. "Take my hand, we'll be fine".
I know how much Melissa loves Shawn, and I remember when she played that song on repeat ever since it came out. I have to admit that even though Shawn is a very talented singer, it was a little annoying after about 200 repeats, but now I miss them so much. I miss her fangirl moments.

A couple minutes later...

A smile suddenly appears on my face. The ambulance is finally here. It only took a couple of minutes, but those minutes felt like hours. Help has arrived, and I hope that this help is enough for Melissa.

Two pretty young women are coming with a big tool which is gonna help them to carry Melissa up into the ambulance. It's pretty similar to what a bed looks like, with buckles on. I've seen them before but I've never knew what they're called.

I realise that I have to let go of Melissa's hand and it hurts inside me, but I have to do it. Me, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are helping Melissa up and each one of us enter the ambulance. We all take each seat in the back of the ambulance beside Melissa while one of the women are closing the back doors. Now, I'm holding Melissa's hand tight to mine again.
