Collapsed
Greg and Sara face a traumatic event at a Crime Scene. Characters aren't mine; song is Aly and AJ's.
I over thought
So I locked up my heart
Yeah
There you stood
Your blue eyes hidden beneath your hood
It had been five hours since Sara had gone to get help and his legs were becoming numb from the constant pressure of the boulder, the rain that had started on and off wasn't helping much either.
He knew that the Tahoe was a good ways away from where the scene had been, they hadn't been able to get it any closer. His head was resting on Sara's jacket for support and his eyes were growing heavier with every passing moment.
"Greg…" at first he thought he was imagining the voice, categorizing it as yet another effect of the loss of blood circulation.
"Greg!" the voice repeated, seeming closer this time, he forced his eyes open, looking toward the edge of the cliff that Sara had gone down what seemed like days ago.
"Sara?" he asked.
The next thing he saw was her pull herself over the ledge, a first aid kit in one hand and a blue space blanket tucked under her arm. "Are you okay?" he asked, eyeing her completely soaked clothes, the blown out knees of her jeans, the small scratch on the side of her head and her scraped arms.
She sat down beside him, "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
Greg rolled his eyes, reaching out to take her hand. "Why'd you come back up?"
"I made it to the car and got the first-aid kit out. I radioed for help and called 911 on your cell phone. I wasn't going to leave you up here all alone, it's gonna take them a while to get to us with the rain." She explained, locating a few sticks and creating a make-shift tent with the space blanket. "How are you holding up?"
"I think my legs are numb…" Greg replied, propping himself up on his elbows as she pulled off his shoes and rolled up his jeans.
She pressed on his legs, expecting some sort of reaction from him and got none. "That's not good…"
He sighed. "I was already aware of that…"
"How on earth can you possibly be so calm?" she asked, handing him a water bottle from the first aid kit.
He looked up at her. "There's nothing I can do to fix the situation… If I panic right now I'll only succeed in making my legs hurt worse and it'll freak you out. "
She laughed lightly. "He's pinned under a boulder and worried about freaking me out… " she said to herself. "I'm not sure whether I should smack you upside the ehad or kiss you…"
"I like the second option better." Greg smiled.
The rain started picking up again.
"Oh, perfect…" she growled, looking up at the darkening sky. "That'll delay them for a while…"
He watched her sit in the rain, as she had not thought to climb under the large space blanket. Greg grabbed her hand, pulling her towards him, staring into her chocolate brown eyes. "Would you get out of the rain, already?"
Sara laughed, pulling his head back into her lap. "Better?"
He nodded.. "Can I go to sleep now?"
"No. No sleeping."
"Damn you…" he groaned, as a flash of lightening split the sky, the thunder following it causing Greg to clutch his head. "Okay, headache…"
Sara looked down at him. "Do you feel short of breath or like you're going to be sick?" she asked.
"Not yet," he replied. "Why?"
"Hypoxia."
"What-ia?" he said.
She sighed. "You know, when part of the body is deprived of oxygen for an extended period of time?"
"You watch too much Discovery Health…" Greg said, rolling his eyes. "I'll tell you if I start to feel sick, but if fatigue is on the list you can check that off."
"Already did."
Okay, working out some details on 'Signs' which no one has figured out yet… and I figured I'd update this as I watched what inspired this again today. So, review and let me know what you thought!
