Chapter 7
Hold on for Dear Life
Fox's nerves were working overtime on him, he couldn't help but speed. Then he suddenly realized the reason why he was acting so insane and that's when he slammed on the brakes.
********
When the car had abruptly stopped Theresa had lurched forward almost going through the windshield.
Luckily she had been wearing her seat-belt. 'Did we hit something?!' The thought ran through Theresa's mind. She moaned as she lifted her head up to see what was going on.
She looked over to see if Fox was all right.
"FOX!!" Theresa screamed as she saw that he was bleeding, his head was resting against the steering wheel. Theresa, as quickly as she could, pulled off her seat-belt and moved towards Fox but the impulsive movement caused the car to sway.
"What the hell is going on?" Theresa asked out loud jumping back into her seat. She looked out the car window and gasped the front of the car was hanging off of a ledge of a cliff. "Oh my God!!" Yelled Theresa.
'Ok don't panic, don't panic everything's going to be just fine.' She thought trying to reassure herself as she looked back at Fox. 'Oh I really hope everything is going to be fine.'
Theresa suddenly had an idea. "My cell, I'll get my cell phone and I'll call for help." Theresa said with hope sparking in her voice. 'They'll send a rescue team and we'll be out of here in no time.'
Theresa cautiously grabbed her purse and emptied it out onto her lap. She immediately grabbed her phone and dialed 9-1-1. "Hello, please help... I'm in a car... were hanging off a cliff... please help." Theresa said hysterically.
Theresa listened to the other end but there was no dial tone. The phone was out of the service range and there was no way she was going to be able to call out. 'No... This can't be happening we can't die here not like this...'
"Fox please wake up... please." Theresa said. Tears shone in her eyes. "I can't lose you Fox... I just can't." Theresa grabbed a tissue she found with the strewn contents of her purse. She dabbed at the blood at the base of Fox's head.
"I'll think of something Fox I won't let us die like this." Theresa said as she sat up straight. She looked around her. 'Why aren't there any cars passing it's not like it's an abandoned road.'
Theresa looked out of the side of the car, it was a long way down and it ended with the breaking of the freezing cold water against the sharp rocks below.
Theresa spotted a ledge not too far away, she would be able to jump it if she tried. "Ok Fox I'm going to get us out of here." Theresa said pushing Fox gently back in his seat.
She took off his seat belt and then pondered on how she was going to get Fox out of his seat without risking their lives. The car groaned, the sound scaring Theresa out of her mind.
If they were going to make it out still alive Theresa was going to have to take action. Theresa pushed her car door open quickly and grabbed Fox, she bit down on her lower lip as she struggled with Fox's body. He was like a dead weight.
She pulled him over taking care not to fall out of the car. She was risking her life for this man creating a selfless act. She knew if roles were reversed Fox would do the same for her.
She turned him over and with all the strength she had left in her she threw him over to the ledge. The balance of the car was no longer level it started to shake.
Fox had safely landed on the ledge. The sudden impact had finally woken him. 'What the hell? Why am I on this ledge?' He thought. Then he heard a groaning that was definitely not human. He propped himself up carefully and turned around.
The car was hanging of the cliff it tilted forward ready to fall down towards the waiting ocean. Theresa was still in the car. "Oh shit... Theresa!!" Theresa looked up to see Fox's terrified face.
"Fox your ok..." Theresa said relieved. The car started to lurch forward. "Theresa you're going to have to jump...come on." Theresa got up in her seat and jumped forward.
When she jumped the car finally fell and landed into the ocean as for Theresa she missed her mark missing the ledge by an inch. "Theresa!!!" Fox yelled throwing himself to the ledge to see what had happened to her. Theresa was hanging on for dear life to a branch that was sticking out of the rock.
"Fox...Please help me!" Theresa yelled out in desperation. "Don't worry Theresa I'll help you." He yelled to her ignoring the nagging pain that he was feeling all over. 'It's my entire fault that we're in this position, why couldn't I put my unresolved feeling's for her aside?'
Fox stretched out his hand to Theresa. 'Unresolved feelings? Don't kid yourself, you love this girl. Do I even know what love is? I don't know but I damn well know that I feel more then just plain friendship for this woman.'
Theresa reached up and firmly grabbed onto Fox's hand. He hoisted her up onto the ledge, when she was safely next to him Fox embraced her now it was him holding on for dear life.
They sat on that ledge in each others arms just glad that they had both survived both realizing that they were falling... falling deeply and madly in love with one another.
