A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I was very busy rearranging things and adding a few new twists. But at least it's finally here, right? Responses to reviewers:
Just a random reviewer- Presenting chapter 5! I hope you enjoy!
BorderWolf- Well, I may make more cliffhangers later.
CuddlyBear- You shall see really soon!
Ltdtoo gal- Here is the chapter that you have been asking for almost every day. I would have edited it yesterday if I didn't have to see my brother's crappy play. Hey, that rhymes!
Rachel T- Here is the chapter 5 that you and several other people have been waiting for.
Here is the story:
Chapter 5: What's Up with Him?
I bit my bottom lip and I felt my heart beating faster and faster in my chest.
"Oh, come ON!" I heard Kai say from the bushes.
"Huh?" Cliff said with confusion in his voice.
BANG
A bullet came from the bushes and went straight into my foot.
"OW!" I cried as I lifted my foot off of the ground and held it in my hands.
I soon realized that I had done a very stupid thing. I lost my balance and tumbled into the spring. I wish someone knew that I couldn't swim…
Cliff's POV
I saw Amy fall into the spring. I looked at Kai with a newfound rage burning in my eyes.
"You idiot!" I cried as I recklessly ran towards Kai.
He had a gun that only shot one bullet at a time, so he hastily reloaded it and…
BANG
I felt a white hot pain in my right wrist. I yelped out in pain then continued running regardless of how much it hurt. I got to Kai and gave him a hard punch to the face which knocked him unconscious and sent him flying to one side. Then it hit me.
"Oh, dang it!" I said. "I should have gotten Amy first."
I ran to the spring and dove in. My wrist was burning with a stinging pain. The thought of rescuing Amy was all that kept me going. Eventually, I found Amy at the bottom of the spring. I swam quickly to her, doing my best to ignore the pain and began to take her to the surface of the water. The air in my lungs was beginning to get stale. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. Then I looked down at Amy and her bleeding foot and newfound determination burned within me. I kicked my legs harder and faster, trying to get to the surface of the water. I couldn't hold my breath much longer. Just as I thought I was going to die, I broke the surface of the water and gasped in as much oxygen as possible. I set her down on land and began to cough a little. Afterwards I put two fingers to the side of her neck to check her pulse. I could feel it under my fingers. It was small, but still there. Yet, it was fading fast.
"Oh, dang it! Don't die on me Amy!" I cried. "Don't die on me!"
And then it hit me. I blushed madly and nervously gulped. This is what I have to do to save her life, I thought reassuringly. I pinched her nose shut and placed my mouth over hers. I exhaled into her and then let off. I put my fingers to the side of her neck again and the pulse was getting stronger, yet it was still weak. I tried again and it got even better. Then, I picked her up and started running to the Clinic. Someone else can get Kai. I rushed towards the Clinic, the pain in my wrist becoming worse and worse. When I got to the square, I was beginning to feel a little woozy, possibly from blood loss. I half staggered, half ran towards the Clinic. Keep going, I told myself For Amy's sake. After a while of staggering/running, I got to the Clinic door. All of a sudden, my vision became splotchy. I set Amy down (or at least tried to) and collapsed right in front of the door…
Amy's POV
When I woke up, I was in a Clinic bed staring at the ceiling. I could feel pain in my foot and I groggily sat up to see what had happened.
"Oh, you are awake." I heard a voice say.
I instantly turned my head to see the Doctor standing near the entrance of the room with a cup of coffee in his hand. He took a sip of it and asked,
"How are you feeling?"
"What happened?" I asked. "I fell in the water and now I'm here."
"Let's see," he began. "I heard a noise outside and I opened the door to find an unconscious Cliff and you nearby. After he woke up he told me that after you fell in the water, he got shot in the hand and then punched Kai. Next, he rescued you from the water and used CPR to revive you. He then staggered here and collapsed in front of the door."
I was shocked. Cliff would do all of that for me? (A/N: That's the power of love!)
"Is he okay?" I asked.
"He's fine," The Doctor replied then took another sip of his coffee. "He just got his hand bandaged up, and went home without saying a word."
"Is it okay if I go home now?" I asked.
"I don't think so," The Doctor said. "You won't be able to walk for a little while with that foot."
"Dang!" I said. "Well can you get Ann over here?"
The Doctor left the room and a few minutes later, Ann came rushing in.
"I heard about the accident!" Ann yelled. "Tell me everything!"
So I told the whole story and Ann said,
"That's so sweet of him!"
"Yeah, but I can't even get out of bed to thank him." I muttered.
"I'll get him!" Ann said. "You just stay there!"
"As if I can do anything else." I mumbled.
She ran out of the room. A few minutes later, she came back and said,
"He's not going to come."
"Why not?" I asked.
"He didn't tell me," Ann said. "He just said he wasn't going to come."
I sighed. "Maybe I can try again once I'm able to walk." I said.
"Okay," Ann replied. "You should get some rest. See ya."
"Bye."
She left and I fell asleep. After about a day, I could walk around on crutches. I decided that I was going to split up my relationship with Kai. So I went to the beach and angrily knocked on his door.
"Yeah?" he said when he finally answered the door. "What?"
"I want to break up!" I exclaimed. "You shot me and Cliff and I want to break up!"
"Uh," Kai said. "Oops."
"Oops? Is that all you have to say?" I shouted angrily.
"Uh, yeah." Kai replied.
I rolled my eyes and left. I had no idea why Kai didn't shoot me, like he said he would. (Not that I wanted to be shot.) I went to the Inn to talk to Cliff. I couldn't find him I asked Ann where he went and she said,
"I think he went to the Goddess Spring."
After a while, I finally managed to crutch over there. I did see him, but as soon as he saw me, he ran off. What's up with him? I thought. Since it would be useless to try to catch up with him, I went on ahead home. I got in bed and hardly slept for the rest of the night.
A/N: Sad, isn't it? Oh, well. At least it puts an end to that darned cliffhanger. Well, review and I shall post more chapters. Thanks for reading!
