Chapter 11

"I...its n..no...not" Clark struggled to say

"It's not what it looks like" Sophie said for him.

Clark tried desperately to stand up so he could pull his trousers up, but he couldn't get off his knees before falling on to the floor again.

"Clark, are you ok?" Jonathan asked worryingly, as he rushed towards his son to support his head before it fell to the ground.

"C...C...Cold" Clark struggled to moan "S...So...Tired"

Jonathan ran back to the pick-up truck and grabbed the blanket he always kept in there, and then he ran back to Clark and helped him up with a little help from Sophie. Jonathan placed the blanked gently but securely before moving him and putting him in the inside passenger seat whilst Sophie got his shoes, socks and trousers.

Sophie climbed in next to Clark as Jonathan put the heating on high and soon felt better. Clark soon found his eyelids refusing to stay open as he fell asleep

...

Sophie was in the pick-up truck with Clark and Jonathan. They were both doing their best to keep Clark warm, with Jonathan having the heating on high, and Sophie constantly rubbing Clark's arm to keep the heat there whist he rested on her shoulder, and making sure that he was comfortable and the blanket stayed securely and cosily around him, although she was slightly shivering herself.

"Are you ok Sophie?" Jonathan asked when he saw her shivering

"Yea, I'm just slightly chilly" Sophie replied, she was only wearing a red vest top and a pair of blue jeans, "but I've got to keep Clark warm"

"Well the blanket should be big enough for the both of you" Jonathan replied, implying that it would make sense if Sophie shared the blanket with Clark.

Sophie unfolded the blanket from around Clark, wrapped it around herself then pulled it tightly and cosily around them.

Clark's skin was cold and wet from the lake but she didn't mind. At the time her main priority was making sure Clark was safe and warm.
