Rachel F asked: Ok so there denying any conection to eachother:
I walk to the end of the road when we both put down the boxes. We go to stand up quickly. But we both turn around and are facing eachother. Noses touching. His cool minty breathe coming at my face like a gust of wind.
We stay there. I gaze at his gorgeous face when the gust of wind come at me again as he steps back slowly saying “Sorry Phoenix.” I nodd and walk quickly back to the house for more boxes.
I trip coming up the stairs. “Careful!” He yells running over to me. I get up and walk in the house. I grab another box and walk down the driveway. Rio following. We stand at the end of the driveway. I ask “Why were you named Rio?”
The question had been haunting me since he told me his name. He gives his crooked smile and says “Rio Grande?” I laugh and so does he. I take a step backwards falling over the piled boxes. I fall back
My hand slams against the road following with my head. I hear a loud horn and Rio yelling “No!!!!” My head stung horribly.
I looked to my right to see a huge garbage truck coming my way. Not even 4 feet away from me. Rio sprang towards me. My body slid across the road. Leaving scars across my side. I then realize Rio has picked up my little body and were on the other side of the road. My head now kills. I reach back to touch it but realize my hand is wrapped around Rio’s neck and seemed glued there.
He then is running with me in his arms toward the house. Each gasping breathe of air hitting my face. I then realize im tired. And I feel dizzy. I then cant support my head.
He runs up the steps and starts yelling “Help! Help! Call 911! Quick! I’m loosing her!” I
Am thrown on the table with force. I hear Aunt Selma and my mom crying. I hear Mr.Sway asking if anyone knows CPR. And then Rio’s voice saying “me!” My lips then are pressed against his in gentle force. I realize I cant breathe. But air is coming back in. It’s filling my lungs. I hear sirens then.
I cough and can feel oxygen around me. But Rio is still kissing me gently. Not blowing air anymore. I then hear Aunt Selma and Mom’s cheers of joy. And Mrs. Sway saying “clumbsy girl…..Rio get off of her! She can breathe.”
But he starts to come up by I don’t want it to end. I pull down on his neck. It’s kind of a hug now but were stilling kissing eachother. I then need to stand up for a better postion. But the ambulance nurses come in and Rio immediately pushes me away from him.
I then find perametics around me and a bandage strapped across my legs, side, head, and hand. The whole time I stare at Rio. Amazed at what I had just done. I then am carried away. I yell no but no sound comes out of my mouth. I realize the tears running down my cheeks. I then am put away in a ambulance. Mom is above me and keeps kissing my forhead saying it’s gonna be all right.
Chapter 3:Decisions
Death. A word of sorrowness, mournful, ugly word. The word of ending what you only have. The most important thing being taken away. The word nobody says much. It’s just a word, but has strong power behind it. Well death is what I expierineced.
I had lost a lot of blood. My hand had been fractured and split open by the road. My head had cracked the skull when that hit the road. Rio had some how jumped and grabbed me. Sliding me across the road. I lost so much blood, my heart couldn’t pump. Rio did save my life. Now I lay in the hospital. And he’s here. In a chair next to me. I had just woken up to find him staring at me.
His eyes full of the word death. I look at him and he says “I’m sorry. I went to save your life but went to far.” I found my voice “No! No don’t be sorry! I started kissing you when you stopped!” He gave that smile of his and whispered “Do you like me Phoenix Carlton? I want the truth.” I look at his eyes.
He looked taller. He looked exactly like his mother and father. I tried to think. It hurt to think. I tried my hardest. I looked at him and his gorgeous made me automatically say “Yes! Yes!” He smiled and said “excellent.” He leaned and lightly pressed his lips on my forehead and said “How you feeling?” I shrugged.
Mom then walked in and screamed with delight. “you’re awake!” I smiled as Rio backed away. Mom squeezed me and the pain sharpened. I watched her. She had been crying. Crying REALLY hard. I smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. She ran out of the room. I thought me and Rio would have our seconds together, but barely any. Just enough to look at him and feel my heart pound against my throat.
I never knew this feeling. This feeling of thinking of Rio every second, wanting to be with Rio every second, and wanting to make Rio happy every second. I have had plenty of crushes, but something about Rio makes me NEED him.
Thanks for the comments! And you’ll have to wait and see if they get together. If you’d read it…I’d put up the chapters before it so you can get more of a taste of what happened. I’m only 12….well I just turned 12 a couple days ago…is it that good? I’m thinking of calling it Nothing Ever Changes but I’m not sure if that’s a good name. Would you read the chapters before it?
