I've had writers block for this for like EVER! Well, here it is! Enjoy the first chapter of Breaking the Ice!
DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN BIG TIME RUSH!
I smiled grabbing my ice skates and walked outside breathing in the chilly, December air. I was headed to the frozen lake at the park to ice skate and clear my mind a little.
I got into my car and started to drive to the park, listening to some music on my iPod, occasionally singing along.
When I finally got to the park and parked my car. The parking lot was pretty much empty aside from a black truck parked a few spaces away from my car.
I unplugged my iPod from the car, made sure I had my Skullcandy ear buds, grabbed my ice skates and started to walk towards a bench by the lake. I sat down and laced up my skates before putting my ear buds in and turning my iPod onto shuffle. I carefully stepped onto the ice and started to skate around once I gained my balance. I smiled skating along the ice, occasionally jumping up and doing some tricks in the air, landing back on the ice with perfect balance and grace. Soon I started to sing along with the music playing on my iPod since there was nobody at the park to actually hear me anyways. I enjoyed this feeling, being alone, happy, care free,forgetting all my worries and stress, losing myself in the music and skating, feeling free.
I jumped up and spun around in the air, but when I came back down, I didn't land as gracefully as I had hoped, I screamed right before the ice broke and I fell through, into the dark, cold water.
All I could feel was the numbing cold of the water. I tried frantically to swim back up to the surface, but my skates were too heavy, they were weighing me down. I tried to kick them off but they wouldn't budge. Everything around me got darker as I slowly sunk further and further away from oxygen, into the cold, numbing water. I thought I felt something grab me, but it was to late to be sure, everything around me went dark...
Logan's P.O.V.
I had driven my truck to the park to walk around for a little bit. It was nice and quiet outside, the park was empty. I smiled to myself and walked around the park. I was walking past the lake when I heard someone singing something. The song sounded familiar.
I looked over to see a girl ice skating on the frozen lake. She had long dark brown hair that ended just a few inches above her waist.
I sat on the bench by the lake and watched her do some tricks on her ice skates, jumping up and spinning in the air, and landing perfectly on balance, all while singing. I finally recognized the song as Titanium by David Guetta. I watched as she skated in figure eights and jumped into the air some more.
Her voice was stunningly beautiful.
"I'm Bulletproof, nothing to lose, I am Titanium."
She sang out, hitting that high note that most people miss while singing that song.
"You shoot me down, but I won't fall, I am Titanium."
She sang out jumping into the air again. I watched her in amazement as she twirled and spun in the air. But when she landed, she let out an ear piercing scream as she fell through the ice.
My eyes widened as I got up and ran towards the ice as fast as I could, careful not to fall through myself. I saw her sinking into the water, her eyes closed. She was close enough so that I could reach her without jumping in myself. I quickly took off my jacket and reached both my arms into the freezing cold water. She was almost out of my reach but I managed to grab her without falling in myself. I pulled her out of the water as quickly as I could. Once I got her out of the water I wrapped her in my jacket to help keep her warm, and carried her bridle style as I ran towards my truck.I opened the passenger door and put her inside and quickly ran over the the drivers side getting in myself and starting up the truck, making sure the heat was on full blast. I turned to her and prayed she was OK. No, I don't know her, but I still hoped she was OK! I sighed in relief once I heard her breathing heavily. I ran my hands up and down her arms quickly to help warm her up. I heard a moan and looked up to see her coming to.
"A-Are you ok?" I asked her with worry.
She started shivering violently and I started to run my hands up and down her arms to warm her up again.
"Shhhh. It's ok. You're ok now. Promise." I smiled a little, still worried about her.
She sniffled and shook a little more. I moved over into her seat and hugged her tight, trying to spread my warmth to leaned closer to me wrapping my jacket around her wet body tighter trying to keep warm.
Oh shit!
I let go of her and took my jacket off of her quickly, I looked around my truck frantically for a dry T-shirt or something for her. I saw on of my long sleeve flannel shirts that I had left in here the last time me and the guys played hockey. I quickly grabbed it and pulled the cold, soaking wet one that she was wearing off of her and quickly replaced it with my long sleeved flannel shirt and put the jacket on her again.
I had almost forgotten that the longer someone stays in wet clothes when it's this cold outside, or something like this happens, the higher the risk of getting hypothermia is. Lucky I remembered. She held my jacket close to herself and whimpered a little bit. I hugged her close once more and moved to the drivers side again. I quickly pulled out of the parking lot and drove home as fast as I could.
"I-I'm C-C-Cold." She whimpered out shivering as I pulled into the driveway.
"I know sweetheart, I know. You'll be warm soon. I promise."
I stopped the car and got out, running over to the passenger side. I picked her up bridle style again and held her close to me as I ran into my house.I laid her down gently on the couch in my living room and unlaced her ice skates, taking them off. Next I ran to the closet in the hallway that had all of the blankets, pillows, etc. to get her some of the fuzziest, warmest blankets I had. Once I had gotten the blankets I ran to where she was still laying on the couch, shivering, in the living room.
"Here, this should make you a little warmer." I said as I wrapped her up in the blankets.
I sat down across from her on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Do you like hot chocolate?" I asked, hoping for a response.
She nodded her head meekly.
I smiled slightly and nodded getting up and walking into the kitchen. I walked over to where my water heater pot thing was and started to heat up the water to make some hot I was waiting for the water to heat up, I walked back into the living room where the girl was still laying on the couch shivering, but not as much as before. I walked over to my fireplace and started a small fire to help warm the room up a little.
I went over and sat down across from her again.
"You need to change out of your wet jeans. I have some sweat pants you can wear, ok?" I smiled only slightly to help reassure her.
She only nodded meekly again and I nodded getting up and walking through the hallway into my room. Going over to my dresser, I opened one of the drawers and dug through it until I found a pair of sweatpants with the strings so that she could adjust them to fit her better. I walked out back to the living room and handed the girl my sweatpants. She smiled slightly and I smiled back before walking to the kitchen and preparing the hot chocolate, putting some mini marshmallows and whipped cream in it, also giving her some time to change too. I finished making the hot chocolate a few minutes later but remained in the kitchen. After a few more minutes I figured she was finished changing.
"Are you finished changing?" I called out to her from the kitchen.
"Y-Yeah." She replied, her voice weak and raspy.
I grabbed both of the mugs and walked out seeing her wrapped up in the blankets and only shivering every so often, She had something in her hands that I realized were her jeans. I set down the mugs of hot chocolate as she held them out to me.
"I-I didn't know what to do with my jeans." she said weakly.
I smiled.
"It's fine. I'm just going to put them in the dryer ok? I'll be right back." I told her taking them from her.
She nodded gratefully and I walked away to the laundry room and put them into the dryer. I walked out of the laundry room and back to where the girl was. I handed her the mug of hot chocolate before sitting down on the coffee table across from her again and taking a sip of my own.
"W-Who are you?" She asked me with her still weak and raspy voice.
"My name is Logan Henderson." I smiled.
She took a sip of her hot chocolate thankfully.
"D-Did you save me?" she asked.
I nodded and took a sip of my hot chocolate.
She set her hot chocolate down next to her and leaned over to hug me.
"T-Thank you so much Logan."
I hugged her back.
"No problem." I chuckled as she let go and laid back down on the couch.
"But you should probably spend the night here ok? You need some rest. It's already about 8:00. I know it's a little weird staying in some strangers house, but it's best for you if you stay here and get some rest for now ok?"
She nodded.
"I'm Alexa by the way. Alexa Davis." She smiled slightly.
"Well Alexa, would you like to watch a movie?" I asked.
"S-Sure." She replied with a slight shiver.
"Still cold?"
She nodded.
"Yeah, just a little though. I'll be fine." She smiled slightly.
I nodded.
"Alright, but Alexa?"
"Hm?" She looked up at me while taking another sip of her hot chocolate.
"Just let me know if you need anything ok? Even if it's the middle of the night and I'm sleeping, I want you to wake me up and let me know ok?"
She nodded thankful at how nice he was.
"Ok, Thanks Logan."
I smiled and nodded.
"No problem." I smiled and took another sip of my hot chocolate looking at my movies.
"Is Elf ok?"
She smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, I love that movie! It's one of my favorites." She smiled as I put it into the DVD player.
"Mine too." I said turning on the TV with the remote.
It was a flat screen mounted right above the fireplace. I sat down next to Alexa on the couch and started skipping through the commercials until I finally got to the main menu and pressed play starting the movie.
"L-Logan?"
I looked over to see her shivering more than she was before. I moved closer to her and she we re-positioned ourselves so that I had my arms wrapped around her waist, holding her close to me, and she had her head on my chest, now both of us under the blankets, me sharing my warmth.
"T-Thank you Logan."
I nodded and held her close to me feeling the need to protect her from everything.
when the movie was over I looked at Alexa and saw that she had fallen asleep. I slowly got up and picked her up, along with the blankets, bridle style, careful not to wake her, and brought her into my room. I pulled back the covers and laid her down in my bed, and tucked her in under the blankets she had already, and my comforter. I quietly closed the door and grabbed a pillow and blanket for myself from the closet in the hallway. I walked backinto the living room and laid back down on the couch getting ready to fall asleep myself. Once I finally got comfortable, I closed my eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep with only one thing on my mind, Alexa.
