His Rescuer

Chapter 1: I'm With You

I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
Theres nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but theres no sound

Lucas stumbled in the dark at the Rivercourt, tripping over a rock.

"Damn rock," he mumbled, continuing his walk to the bleachers. It was pouring, so his vision was blurred. That, and all the alcohol was making him nauseous.

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you

It was 4 months ago today. Four months, since her death. His Peyton…

"God damnit!" Lucas screamed up to the heavens. He threw his bottle of vodka toward the sky, and didn't move when it came back down, crashing at his feet. "Why God?" he asked quietly, angrily. "Why her?"

im looking for a place
searching for a face
is anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everythigns a mess
and no one likes to be alone

Lucas began to cry as he laid down on the top bleacher, murmuring. "Why her?"

Lucas was cold, too cold. If he stayed out here any longer, he might catch pneumonia. He didn't care; he wanted to die.

Lucas was uncomfortable, so he rolled over, forgetting where he was. He tumbled down the bleachers, knocking his head on them as he went. His head hit the ground first, then his body. His head pounded, and he was dizzy from it all. When he reached up and touched his head, there was blood gushing down. He put his head down, and he wanted to sleep so badly. He was so tired suddenly…

Lucas heard footsteps coming towards him, but maybe it was all in his head. He wanted to look up, but his head hurt, and he was trying to sleep. The footsteps got louder, closer, faster. They stopped next to his head, but he closed his eyes. He was losing it.

oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea

"Hey sir?" a voice asked. It was soothing, a feminine voice no doubt. He didn't respond; it was time to die…

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you

The woman began to shake him, and his whole body ached even worse. "Oh my God, you're bleeding!" she screamed worriedly. She flipped Lucas so he was on his back, and only then did he open his eyes. The woman was standing over him, and even though it was pouring, Lucas could see her wet brunette hair swishing around her, most of it sticking to her face. She was young, about his age, and gosh, she was gorgeous. Her worried eyes staring back at him was the last thing he saw before he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I dont know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Read and review and I will update soon! Much love, Diana.
