*Shakira's PoV*
Right now im running away from the media. I never knew there were so many of them here in the studio. I thought about asking Blake for help then i thought i might disturb him from coaching Danielle. How about Usher. Coaching Michelle. What about Adam. Uhm no i dont want to.
Then i took a left turn at the end of the corridor. Then my high heels broke. Ouch i think i twist my ankle. Cant i get anymore unfortunate this day. First media is chasing me now i broke my shoes and ankle. Just when i thought i couldn't get anymore unlucky i hit a dead end. I look around if there were any safe place to hide. Then i spot the rehearsal room. It is at the other end of the corridor. I wont make it i can hear the paparazzi's footsteps coming closer. Just when im about to give up the door beside me opened and a hand came out of it and pulled me inside the dark room.
I tried to say something but someone covered my mouth. I tried to get out of his grip but he is too strong. I tried to scream but it didnt work.
Then i started kicking him/her and when i hit him and he let go of me i immediately stayed away from him/her. Then when i was about to shout he/she covered my mouth and said "Shhh. Dont speak they will hear you." then i realize whose voice it is.
"Adam?"
"Shhhh"
I opened the lights and saw Adam on his knees.
Oops i think i kick him where i shouldnt kick him. I rush over his side and whispered "Im so sorry Adam, i didnt know it was you." after i said that i feel some pain on my feet. I looked at my feet and saw it bleeding. Adam saw my feet and immediately standup to examine my them.
"What happen to your feet?" he exclaimed
"Shhhh they'll here you. Dont move yet i know your hurt."
"Dont worry about me what happen to your feet?"
"I think i twist my ankle while running away from the media. Im fine though it doesnt hur- Ouch!'' i exclaimed when he touch feet.
"Doesnt hurt eh?" he said then took off his necktie and wrapped it around my feet. He tied it gently and then he asked me "Can you walk?"
"I think so" then stand up to try if i can walk. As my feet touch the ground i feel a sharp pain coming from my feet then i lost my balance and fell on top Adam. Our faces were so close we could almost kiss. Is it me or Adam is blushing or he cant breath because im on top if him.
"Oh my God i am so sorry." i said as i get off him.
"That's alright." he said as he catch his breath.
"Oh he's not blushing he just cant breath."
"So you cant walk huh?" he said as he turned around and kneel on the ground.
"Uhm. What are you doing Adam?"
"Do you want a piggy back ride or not"
"Uhm im heavy-"
"Thats ok."
"No seriously. Im heavy."
He stand up and look at me and without a warning a carried me bridal style.
"Wait Adam the press is outside they might make an issue if we walk like this outside."
"Ok. Then stop complaining and ride on my back."
"Ok."
He kneel then i wrapped my arms around his neck and wrapped my legs in his torso. We went outside and to my surprise there are no more paparazzi in the hall. To be honest there are no person at all. On our way all i tried to do i calm my heart. My heart is beating faster than the normal beat. I tried breathing in and out.
"Are you alright?
"Uhmm Yeah im just uncomfortable with my position."
"Wait a minute." he put me down gently and then carried me bridal style.
"Woah wait Adam-"
"Its ok there are no one in here no one will see us. If there would some one who would see us there is no problem. Its not like we are doing something bad. Im just helping you because your hurt after all your my friend." then he smiled at me.
I return the smile but inside my head all i could think about is what he said. "After all your my friend..friend...friend." that simple word keeps echoing in her head. "Im just helping you because your hurt." "So that means he's just helping me because im hurt." Shakira thought to herself. Before she knew it a tear escape her eyes.
"Wait a minute, are you crying?" Adam asked.
"No its nothing, my feet just hurts."
"Oh hang on we are already there."
When we reach the clinic he gently put me on the bed. The nurse approach us and asked.
"Oh my what happen?"
"Twisted ankle." Adam said.
"Wait a minute ill check her first.... Oh ok we just have to massage this side of her foot and some painkiller."
"Oh ok. Wait Shakira ill just call Blake." he said then opened the door to go
"Wait Adam-"
He look at me and ask. "Yes?"
"Thank you" Shakira said then smiled at him.
"For what?"
"For this and for being a good friend."
"Oh dont worry about it. Ill always help you no matter what. Cause your my friend." and with that he left the clinic.
"Cause your my friend.....friend.....friend." Shakira thought to herself. She felt so hurt not because of her feet but because of Adam friendzoning her. Now she realized how hurtful being friendzoned is.
