A/N: I'm sorry, I know it's been a month since I've updated but I've been busy. I had heaps of school work to finish and was busy with my other stories. I was supposed to update on the weekend, but my aunty came back from England, and we stayed with my relatives until Sunday afternoon. The rest of the time I just couldn't be bothered to get on fanfiction and copy and paste a few things (I wrote this story a few months ago and it's all written and finished)
I'll stop boring you with excuses now.
Disclaimer: JCE isn't mine... shame, that because I sure would like to have Josh Hutcherson :)

I'd just woken up and immediately remembered our little scenario. I started to get up, but then gasped and fell back down. I looked at my leg. Down my calf was a huge gash with blood trickling out of it. How'd that happen? I'd been unconscious for god knows how long. I crawled around in the sand. "Sean?" I yelled every now and again. I suddenly slipped and my bleeding leg smacked onto the sand. I let out a gasp of agony. I looked at my leg. Luckily, only a few grains of sand were stuck in it. I blew it off and then very slowly got up. "Sean?" I yelled out once again. I limped slowly up and down the beach. Soon I went into the rain forest-like area behind the shore. I walked around, looking for nothing in particular. My leg was really searing, but I was trying to ignore it. Suddenly I tripped over a massive and seemingly invisible tree root. I cried out in pain as I fell onto my back. I wheezed, shut my eyes and tried to be my breath back. I was winded. It was a terrifying feeling, not being able to breathe. Eventually I regained oxygen but didn't bother getting up. My back hurt too much. The forest floor was a little muddy but was covered with leaves. Fresh dew drops hung off the trees and dropped gently onto my face every now and then. I just lay on the ground, moaning with my eyes shut.
"Lydia?" I heard someone call. My eyes snapped open.
It was Sean.
"Lyd?" He yelled.
"SEAN!" I yelled back.
"Lyd? Lydia is that you?"
"Yes!" I cried, happier than ever. I heard his footsteps speed up. It sounded like he was jogging in my direction. Soon a sweaty, bloody, dirt-covered Sean Anderson was standing above me. He beamed when he saw me and I returned it. Then his smile faded a little.
"What have you done to yourself?" He frowned, looking at my leg.
"Oh. Um, I don't know," I answered honestly. He chuckled and stepped closer to me. All of a sudden his arm was around my waist and had gently pulled my own arm around his shoulder. Sean helped me limp out of the undergrowth.
"You never stop, do you?" I muttered.
"Nope," he laughed.
"Thank you," I said.
"Don't mention it. I'm so glad I found you. I was beginning to think you were dead or something. That really would have sucked. I'd really miss –" He suddenly stopped talking and his cheeks flushed and his brown eyes flickered toward the ground, as though he'd said too much.
"You'd miss me?" I finished.
"Yeah," He mumbled.
"Well I'd miss you too," I admitted.
"Are you thirsty?" He asked after a moment's silence.
"Yes." He took me over a large wall made out of rock with water streaming off it. I cupped my hands and gulped the water.
"Thank you," I said again. "Really, you've been very good to me. I owe you."
He smiled. His eyes then trailed over to my leg. I took some water and splashed it on there. Some of the blood washed off, but not much. I went to open my backpack, but then realized I'd given it to Hannah. Suddenly Sean started ripping the bottom of his shirt.
"Hey, what are you doing? No, don't do that –" I protested.
"Shut up," Sean said, holding the piece of material.
"I could've used my own shirt," I pointed out.
"Too late," Sean said as he slowly wrapped it around my leg.
"I can do this myself, you know," I stated as his hands wound round my calf.
"Too late," he repeated simply. He seemed to take forever with the bandaging. Maybe because he was trying to be gentle.
"Thanks again," I said. Sean helped me stand up and then he took a quick look around.
"Okay, let's go."
A/N: Sean's so lovely :) I hate the fact he's not real -_-
Review.
