Now here is the next chapter of the Writer and the Wrestler...
Chapter 4- We Meet Again
"Man Harley wasn't lying when she said that this snowfall was going to be bad," Joe said out loud as he tried to navigate through the icy roads. Even though they were twenty minutes away from the airport, the roads made their trip even longer as Joe drove slow to avoid sliding off the roadway.
"Yeah maybe we should just pull over to be safe," Colby agreed. Joe then looked over to Jon who also nodded his head in agreement.
Sighing, Joe pulled the car safely over to the side and turned it off, "So what do we do now?"
Jon just put his chair back and pulled his beanie over his eyes, "We wait until the snow hopefully stops so we can start driving again. Until that happens, I'm going to take a nap. Just let me know when it's time to go." Not even ten minutes after closing his eyes, Jon's phone rang and when he saw the number, he didn't recognize it. "Hello?" he answered the call.
"H-hey Jon, It's-it's me Harley," he heard faintly over the phone.
"Harley hey, are you okay? I can't hear you very well," he asked getting a nervous feeling in his stomach.
The line went silent for a moment and panic struck Jon. Thankfully he then heard rustling on the other end, "I-I-I don't know. I wr-wrecked my c-car and my-my head really h-h-hurts."
Jon instantly snapped up in his seat and started to get his jacket and gloves on, "Shit okay just hold on. Wh-where are you? Maybe I can try to get to you."
"I-I'm a mile and a h-half from Tr-Troy's. There's a camera store n-next to me," Harley shivered.
Joes and Colby looked at his panic state in confusion. "What's going on Jon?" Joe then asked him.
Jon opened his window and started to lean out of it to get a good picture of where they were at. "It's Harley. She got into an accident and she might be hurt."
Before either men could respond to him, Jon leaped from the car and took off. From his vantage point and through the falling snow, Jon was able to see a camera store in the distance. He hoped that it was the one that Harley was near. Sure enough the closer he got to the store and through the howling wind, he was able to hear a car horn going off in the distance. Then once he got even closer, he was able to see tire tracks in the snow and he followed them to a small ditch where a small black car was lying in.
"Oh my god Harley," he said under his breath before he slid his way down the ditch. The freezing water stung his ankles and feet, but all he could think about was getting to Harley. When he got to her car door, he saw her slumped over in her seat and she was still and silent. Quickly getting the door opened, he gently unbuckled her belt and pulled her into him. "Harley, Harley, c'mon wake up," he whispered into her ear.
"Jon?" Harley groaned as he lifted her up and pulled her out of the car.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Jon smiled and said, "Yeah it's me. I'm going to get you out of here and get you somewhere warm. Just try to stay awake alright." Harley nodded and held on tight as Jon tried to get them up the steep slick embankment.
The snow was making things very difficult and every time Jon would get halfway, he would slip and slide back down into the water. Thankfully he heard a car pull up followed by Colby's voice, "Jon, Jon where are you?"
"Down here in the ditch. Harley accidentally crashed her car in here. She has a pretty good bump on her head, but I think that she is going to be okay. I just need you and Joe to help me get her out of here," he shouted back shaking from the cold water.
"Okay we're here," Colby announced as he peaked over the edge. "So how did you want to do this?"
"I'm gonna run up as far as I can and hand you Harley, then you pull her up," he told them.
Then after getting everything situated and on the count of three, Jon ran up the steep slope just high enough for Joe and Colby to grab Harley before he fell back into the ditch. Joe then took Harley and placed her in their warm car before going back to rescue Jon. Jon, who was wet and freezing, used what remaining strength that he had to run back up and grab both their hands.
"Man you really are a Lunatic aren't you," Colby told him as they pulled him up.
Jon laughed and said, "Hey I got to live up to my character. Thanks though for helping me out. I know I just jumped out of the car without thinking."
Colby patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay we understand. We would have done the same if we were in your situation. Just next time give us a heads up before you do anything stupid. Now let's get you in the car where it's nice and warm. Harley is in there waiting for you."
Jon nodded and rushed to the car where he saw Harley leaning up against the car door shivering. Opening the door, he got in and scooted closer to Harley and brought her in to snuggle up against his chest. "Guys give me your jackets and turn the heater up higher. We got to get her warm."
"And you too man. You are soaked," Joe told him as he handed Jon his jacket.
"Don't worry about me I'll be fine. We just got to get Harley someplace that is warm and dry," Jon replied back and blowing into Harley's hands to warm them up.
He then felt Harley move around and when he looked down, he saw her digging around her bag that hung from her shoulders. "My place is close. My ID is in my wallet," said as she shakily handed her wallet to Joe. He then handed it to Colby who was able to get directions on his phone and then they were off towards its direction.
As they drove to Harley's apartment, Jon hugged Harley and cuddled with her asking, "Are you sure that you're okay? Do you want us to take you to the hospital for your head?" He knew that head injuries were risky and he didn't want anything more to happen to her.
"No it's okay I'm fine. I'm sorry if I am putting you guys out of your way. I don't even know why I called you in the first place," Harley whispered feeling ashamed and embarrassed for calling these total strangers to help her out.
"Hey it's our pleasure and we don't mind at all. In a way I'm glad that you called because I can look at your beautiful face again. Also you could have frozen to death in that ditch and that would have been very bad," he smiled and gently kissed her head.
The two then fell into a comfortable silence until they reached Harley's apartment. As they got out of the car, Jon and Harley prepared for the rush of cold air to hit their wet bodies. As Jon picked up Harley and began to carry her inside, Harley let out a giggle, "You know that I can walk right?"
"Yeah I know, but I prefer to carry you like a princess. Besides you feel nice being in my arms," Jon smiled at her as he felt her relax in his arms as she directed them to her door. She then handed Colby her keys and they all walked into her small two bedroom apartment.
"Wow Harley, this is a nice place," Joe said as they took a seat on her couch.
"Thanks. I know that it isn't much, but hey it's home," Harley replied taking off her wet jacket. "Anyways I'm going to go get into something warm. Please make yourself at home. I'll only be a few minutes."
The boys nodded and watched as Harley walked into one of the bedrooms and closed the door behind her. Colby then turned to Jon and said, "Here, I brought your bag in for you. You should change out of those wet clothes before you get sick."
"Thanks man and once I'm done, we can say goodbye and get on the road," Jon told them before walking off to find another place to change.
However before he could go far, Joe stopped him and said, "Actually guys, we aren't going anyways. I just got a text saying that our flight has been cancelled until the weather clears up. It looks like we're stuck here."
I guess that Jon is still Harley's Knight in Shining Armor. Good thing he gave her his number otherwise something awful might have happened. I still wonder what Jon's feelings towards Harley now, because again he went above and beyond to help her. What do you guys think? Please feel free to leave a review with any comments or questions regarding this story.
Again thanks to AmbroseAslyum060214 for all the help. I really appreciate it.
Until next time,
