Author's note - This will be the last chapter for about another 24 hours,
mom hates me sitting around the computer so I'm forced to do this when
she's not home or at night. This chapter will be very short, but just bear
with me.
CHAPTER 6
"I will catch you if you fall"
It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and Tomoyo decided to get another skating practice in. The weather was a bit chilly and she wished that she'd worn something warmer than the fishnet ¾ top and purple tank top over it. At one end of the park, an end she had never been to before, she saw a gigantic ramp, 10 or 11 feet. Tomoyo deciced to try it.
She stood 50 metres away from the ramp and pushed of with her foot. As she gained speed, she decided on a 720 turn in the air before landing. She just hoped she could pull it off. This was it, Tomoyo was at the front of the ramp and went faster up until she reached the edge. Tomoyo flew into the air and felt the board leave her feet.This is not meant to be happening! She thought. Tomoyo stayed in the air for a split second before falling. She squished her eyes shut. I'm going to die. I'm only 16 and I'm going to die, oh please god no, no, no, please, I don't want to die. She was waiting for the hard, painful thud of the cement, but it never came.
Two strong arms caught her falling body and set her down slowly, making sure she was okay.Eriol. It was Eriol. He saved her life!
"You ok?" he asked gently.
Tomoyo nodded, her body still trembling.
"Tomoyo, you scared me" his voice was soft but full of worry. "I didn't expect you to do a ramp that high so soon, that's why I left it"
Tomoyo smiled sheepishly "I guess I was just a little ambitious, huh?"
Eriol nodded. "Maybe just a little" Eriol opened his mouth to say something but he shut it again, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.
"What were you gonna say?" Tomoyo asked suspiciously.
"Nothing" Eriol said.
"C'mon, I can handle it" she pressed
He laughed. "I was gonna give you a lecture about moves that are too hard. Especially for a beginner. But I realized that I would have done the same thing. But just promise me something?" Eriol asked.
"What?" asked Tomoyo
"Promise me you won't pull a stunt like that again?" Eriol said
"Don't worry, I won't do anything you wouldn't do" Tomoyo said with a smile and twinkling eyes
Eriol groaned. "That's not very reassuring"
Tomoyo gave him a hug. "I love you" She whispered.
"And I love you"
