Did I tell you that I love you today?
Have I looked into your eyes?
Cause I've taken down that last remaining wall
and showed myself to you.

Tess tried to hold back the sobs that wracked her body as she ran as fast as she could down the drive of Drovers Run. Tightly holding onto Bom, she ran to where she had seen everyone last, getting ready for the celebrations. Another wave of tears threatened to fall, the party, oh god Alex. Everything was going so well for both of them, she hadn't seen Claire this happy in a while. Holding onto those thoughts, Tess pushed her aching legs faster.
As she rounded the corner, she could hear Alex laughing, and finally she could see him. She could see everyone, Meg was the first one to notice her.
Meg's eyes went wide, "Tess, what happened!"
Tess couldn't hold it in anymore, tears streamed down her face as she screamed. "Claire, got to help her. She's stuck.. The ute went over.. it went over.."
Tess dropped to her knees, Alex was the first one next to her, the first words coming from his mouth, "Where?"
The rest of the group hot on his heels, Meg took Charlotte from Tess, trying to calm the screaming baby.
In an instant Alex was running for his ute, all plain rational thinking lost, his only concern to get to Claire. Tess Jumped in next to him, not saying a word. Alex took off, speeding down the drive. Nick and Jodi following closely behind, and Terry right after them.

Alex slammed on the brakes coming to a skidding stop, Alex jumped out running to the edge of the cliff, "Claire!" He screamed out. There was no response, Alex turned to see Nick right behind him swinging the ute around to run with the cliff face.
Nick was out instantly tying a rope to the sports bar and Alex was right next to him grabbing the rope, then heading off straight down the face of the cliff.
"Easy Alex!" Nick called after him. "Easy!"
Alex paid no attention to him, after seeing the drover's run ute a smouldering mess he practically ran down the cliff face, he had to get to Claire. As he hit the bottom, he let the rope go, advancing carefully, trying to brace himself for whatever sight he may come face to face with. He could see her, her body was slumped, her face covered by her hair, he couldn't tell if she was alive.
"Claire," he called out again, as he made his way to the car. When he was right beside her, he reach out with a shaky hand, pushing her head back gently and brushing her hair from her face. Claire's eyes were closed and she looked pale, as he touched her skin, Alex shivered, she was cold.
"Oh Claire," He breathed.
He looked down at her legs, and the steering column that had apparently been trapping her in the car, was now not a problem. Alex carefully slipped an arm around her waist and under her legs, and slowly pulled her out of the wreak. He took a couple of steps away from the car, and then dropped to his knees, holding Claire tightly. His body shaking slightly as he buried his head into her neck, tears threatening to fall.
"Claire," he whispered, " I need you."
---
Claire tried to open her eyes but she couldn't. Her mind surrounded by a thick fog trapping her in a limbo of sorts. She so wanted to open her eyes, but she felt groggy, her will disappearing, but then she heard it, it was barely audible. But she heard it.
"Claire"
She willed herself to open he eyes, but she was just so sleepy. The fog taking over her, if she could just reach out. just brake through.
Claire's eyes snapped open and Alex felt movement, as he heard a sharp intake of air. Alex looked up to find Claire's eyes opened, he felt the rise and fall of her chest again, she was alive. Claire closed her eyes, trying to clam her erratic breathing.
"No, no, no, no. Don't close your eyes again Claire." Alex pleaded.
Claire opened her eyes, smiling slightly, "Can't live without me Ryan."
Alex did smile, remembering her saying that to him earlier, but then the smile faded. "No, I can't."
He was so serious it almost broke her heart.
"Good because I can't live without you." She whispered to him.
Alex bent down and kissed her forehead, running a gentle hand through her hair. Alex was quite content to just sit there with Claire in his arms, any injuries she did have, she didn't say anything, and an ambulance would be hear soon. But for now he just wanted to hold her, it was unbelievable how close he was to losing her just minutes ago.
