Please, wake up! I was quivering in fear upon seeing the unconscious Liam. I didn't know what exactly happened, but I found myself on top of him before I totally got up.
Flashback:
''You know what, you should teach me how to ride a horse properly.'' I think your horse is getting tired of carrying two people at a time.'' I suggested as soon as I was able to climb up and sat behind him.
It was exactly 7am when we set out to find a repair shop. Truth is, he was already at the lodge by 6:30am and Jacky had a hard time walking me up. I didn't even get the chance to wash myself. Dang! I will stink any minute now. (hu-hu *crying inside*)
''He has a name. Shadows.'' Liam coldly spoke. Tsk! He didn't even acknowledge my suggestion.
''Oh, beautiful name, huh.'' I tapped the horse's butt twice and he neighed as if he appreciated my compliment.
''hey, don't you dare show-off.'' I heard Liam snorted. I guess he rolled his eyes too.
''Are you pertaining to me?''
''No. I'm talking to him—Shadows, since he loves compliments.''
''Well, that's not bad at all. Everyone needs some good compliments once in a while.'' I spoke while caressing Shadows. ''Don't worry, I will definitely shower you with lots of admiration every now and then.'' I giggled at the thought of getting the chance to be friends with his horse.
''Don't you dare do that. You will definitely regret it.'' Liam warned me seriously.
And will you laugh at me If I say I think I heard the horse scoffed in displeasure? Did he understand Liam's words?
''Eh? Why is that?'' I ask while pushing my thoughts about Shadows' displeasure.
''He will definitely show off.'' He sighed.
''Well, I want to see what he can do.'' I chuckled jokingly but I never thought it would cause such ruckus.
''Don't. You. Ever. Dr-----'' Liam couldn't finish his statement since Shadows suddenly dashed like a flash!
I'm gonna die!!!!! The horse is running abnormally fast and he's even jumping off from fences to fences or were they rocks? I don't know but fudge! I couldn't say a word since dread covered my entire being. With his pace, I'm sure I'd die once I fall off the ground.
***Liam had been trying to stop him but he refused to listen to his master. But then Shadows glanced at the two holding on for their dear life then he seemingly smirked playfully and continued running as if teasing them.*
Damn it, Shadows! Stop it at once! I heard Liam cursed under his breath.
''Make him stop, please!'' I pleaded but I am not sure if Liam can hear me. Though I hope he could feel my heart racing as I tighten my grip around his waist, my head leaning on his back with my eyes closed. I don't want to see what will happen next either to me or to Liam.
Wait! I am slipping from my grasp. My body couldn't hold on any longer. I think I am falling, Oh Lord, into your hands, I commit my life... I whispered a silent prayer.
I felt my hands slipping from Liam's waist. Dang! Now I'm sure I'd fall so I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew, I'm flying! "Mom, I'm coming to see you…"
I don't know what happened next since I couldn't hear anything. but the last thing I remember were muscular arms wrapped my body.
Blaggggggg!!!!!!!
I thought I was dead but as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw myself on top of another person---- Liam? My eyes widened in disbelief. But how did he catch me in time? The last thing I remember was that I lost my grip around him and I flew instantly as soon as Shadows halted. Then someone got a hold of me which I thought was my grim reaper.
Liam... Liam! I tried shaking his shoulder when I notice him unconscious. But he's not responding at all. Did my weight kill him? No!
''Please, wake up!'' I finally got off from his grasp. '' Hey, Liam!'' My voice is kinda breaking. Is he dead? He's totally unconscious! What am I going to do? Is there a near hospital here? How am I going to call for an ambulance when I don't even know their mobile numbers? And are they even using mobile phones here? I don't think so. My mind is now hazy. What am I supposed to do?
''Liam, please wake up. '' You can't die on me. Please wake up.'' I didn't even notice the tears streaming from my eyes while trying to hear his heartbeat and searching for his pulse. My worry and anxiousness might have temporarily deafened me since I couldn't find any pulse in him. I even performed cpr.... mouth-to-mouth resuscitation just to make sure. But why did I even do that? He didn't drown!
When he didn't respond, I started screaming for help, however, I can't see any house anywhere. I was desperately crying out for help. Fear got a hold on me. But then, after a few more minutes, I felt a hand faintly caressing my hair.
''L-Liam?'' I held my breath when I saw him opened his eyes weakly. ''Your alive!'' I hugged him tight. ''I was so scared! I thought I lost you.''
''I'm fine.'' He softly uttered then I helped him sit on the grass.
''Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Is your head okay? Are you bleeding somewhere?'' I was trying to check his body for any serious wounds but thank God, he's not seriously hurt. He only had scratches and light cuts on his arms and head.
''I-I'm okay.'' He lightly held his head in pain.
''I'm sorry!'' Once again, I teared up. I caused his pain again. He got hurt because of me.
However, he wiped my tears away but scowled after.
''Why are you such a cry-baby? stop it, it doesn't suit you at all.'' He scoffed.
''Hey! Are you saying I am ugly right now?'' I pouted, still sniffing.
''Totally. So will you stop crying, It's such a pain in the ears. Tsk!''
I glared at him as I immediately wiped my wet cheeks. He still has his ways to insult me even in times like this. What an amazing, inconsiderate and rude guy!
''Fine!'' I stood up and walk away from him.
''Hey! Aren't you going to help me up after saving your life?'' He yelped.
''I know you can manage! Just help yourself out!'' I yelled at him as I continued trekking my way back to the road. I will definitely go and see Shadows. He will receive an amount of scolding today for being unruly. Tsk!
**Liam was watching the woman walking away with a scowl on her face. Then he smiled as soon as he recalled how the woman cried for him a while ago.
''I thought I lost you.'' The woman's words kept ringing in his ears over and over again. Cause for the first time in forever, he met someone who was afraid of losing him.
"Tsk! What a silly woman." He thought to himself.
