"It's what?"
"…broken"
"Oh God James don't do that to me again! I thought it was hanging off or something!" she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry Jess" His eyes wandered back down to her leg and he almost cried at the sight of it. A pool of blood was quickly forming around her left leg, the bone was jutting out at an odd angle. He knew he had to do something to stop the bleeding so he gently removed his hand from hers. She panicked when she felt him leave her side
"James, please don't leave me"
He turned back to face her and was glad to see that she had opened those beautiful eyes that he loved so much. He looked into her eyes and could see the fear in them, a light glassy film covered them as if she was about to cry.
"I'll never leave you Jessica, I promise. I'm just going to bandage up your leg so we can get out of here"
She nodded and closed her eyes again. He looked down at her leg and nearly gagged. He silently removed his jacket and began to bandage her leg as best as he could. The blood immediately stained through the jacket and he tied it tighter in an attempt to stop the blood flow. He turned his head at a sound and saw dust falling from the already cracked ceiling.
"We've gotta get out of here now. Looks like the ceilings going to come down"
He stood and a wave of dizziness came over him and he sunk back to his knees. Jessie noticed him stumble
"James are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine Jess, just a little dizzy that's all"
She looked at him with his head bowed, his hand resting on his temple trying desperately to clear his mind. A cracking noise from the ceiling caught their attention. He looked back at her and realised that they were really running out of time
"Lets go" He stood shakily and looked down at her only just realising that this wasn't going to be easy. She looked up into his eyes, realising at the same time as him that she could hardly walk on her own and that he was hardly fit to be carrying her. She looked down to the floor and shut her eyes
"Just go" she whispered
He realised what she was saying and his eyes went wide. How could she ever think he would leave her? He loved her more than life itself and couldn't even imagine his life without her and he didn't even want to try. He bent down next to her and held her hand
"I made a promise to you 8 years ago that I'd never leave you and I'm not going to break it now"
She opened her eyes and looked deeply into his as if she was trying to read him. She could see the sincerity in his eyes and desperately wished the situation were different. She pulled her hand away from his and turned her head to face away from him
"Stop it James! Don't make this any harder" she snapped.
He reached out his hand towards hers again and she violently slapped it away.
"What are you deaf or just stupid!? GO!" she screamed, tears running down her face.
He stared at her in complete shock, breathing deeply and trying desperately not to break down. But he couldn't.
She knew the instant she had said it that she had gone too far, but what else could she have done? She wasn't willing for him to risk his life for her, she loved him too much for that and yet as she lay there watching the emotions on his face she realised she was wrong.
His bottom lip began to quiver and a horrible sob escaped his throat. He quickly covered his face with his hands as the tears came. The thought of losing her was too much for him to take in and he just broke down completely.
Seeing him like that was too overwhelming for her and she tried to keep the distraught emotion out of her voice with little success
"J-James. James I'm so sorry"
He was so engrossed in his despair that he didn't hear her and just continued to sob bitterly into his hands.
Ignoring the throbbing pain in her head and the now profound discomfort she felt in her leg she pulled herself into a sitting position. She looked at him, sobs wracking his body, as tears flowed freely down her face. She tried to speak again but found she could not form a coherent word. Without knowing what else to do she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace and letting him sob against her as she lovingly stroked his hair and whispered reassuring words to him.
After a while his sobs abated and now he was just sniffing occasionally, enjoying the warmth of her body next to his, never wanting to let her go.
They sat quietly until a large cracking sound came from the ceiling as small pieces of rubble began to break off. Jessie noticed and realised that if he had any chance of escaping he had to leave now.
"James…you've got to go" she whispered tenderly
He pulled back from their embrace and looked deep into her eyes
"W-What?" he questioned
"James if want any chance of getting out of here you have to leave"
"I won't leave without you Jessie"
"You don't have much of a choice. Please just go" she pleaded
"I can't" he replied solemnly, looking deeply into her eyes
"Why?" she whispered
He didn't answer and just kept staring intently into her eyes. She found herself becoming angry
"WHY!?" she screamed "Do you really want to die for me!?"
"I'd do anything for you" he answered, his eyes falling to the ground as more tears slid down his cheeks
"Why?" she pushed
He was silent for a while then he slowly looked up into her tear filled eyes
"Because, I-I love you"
