A/N: WOW! Thank you SO much for all the reviews! I read each and every one and I tried to respond to some of them! I think I'm going to keep going with this story... I got an idea on how to continue with it and I think it'll work out okay. It'll probably be about 5 chapters long I'm thinking? I'll be updating again very soon! I've actually got the next chapter written out, I'm just going to wait to post it until I get some feedback at the end of this chapter, so I know what to change and improve. I apologise for the long wait, but it is exam time, and I've been stressing over my French exam: S and before we get on with the story I just wanted to say a special thanks to Dawnmist of RiverClan! I really appreciated your review and hanks so much for the suggestion! I tried my hardest to do as you suggested in this chapter...let me know if it worked: P anyway...TO THE STORY NOW.. (That's what you came here for )
Disclaimer- still owning nothing... :/
Jade's scream rang through the air. For a moment it seemed the world was standing still. The wind had stopped roaring, the trees surrounding me had stopped blowing, and my head down to my toes had suddenly gone numb. And then just has suddenly has it had stopped, the wind began to howl, and the world began to move again
"Please re surface, please. Just re-surface. That's all, please please!" I begged softly to myself. The lake had to be over 15 feet deep. If Jade's didn't re-surface, there would be nothing I could do. You weren't supposed to go in the water to save the victim, although for Jade, I probably would have. "Come on Jade, you can do this!"
Jade's P.O.V
Cold. That's all I felt was cold. For a moment I didn't' really understand what had happened. The eerie silence of the water was surrounding me instead of the harsh loud wind I was used to. And then there was suddenly pain. It felt as though thousands of knives were stabbing me in the thighs, arms face and anywhere else I could reach. I screamed out loud for Beck, I wanted him, I NEEDED him. But all that came out was bubbles. I couldn't move, the cold had me hunched over in a little ball, and I could feel myself losing consciousness.
"I need to get out of here," I thought. "I need to get back to Beck." Using the last spurt of energy in my body I kicked hard and my head broke the surface. Gasping for breath I tried to call out Beck's name, but I couldn't. My teeth were actually chattering so hard I couldn't form words. But Beck was coming anyway. He always did.
"Jade!" he cried. "Hold on babe, I'm coming. Don't let go." Crawling flat out on his stomach with his coat in his hands, he slowly made his way towards me. When he finally got close enough he threw his coat sleeve out to me. "Grab on. I'll pull you in." It took a while for his words to register in my mind. It felt as though even my brain was numb, and I knew I wouldn't stay conscious much longer.
"i c-c-c-can't." And it was true I couldn't. My hands had stopped working, they wouldn't close.
"Please Jade, you have to." I could see the tears starting to form in his eyes. Was he scared? Beck didn't get scared! I gave him a short nod to show him I understood and gripped onto the coat as tight as I could wrapping It around my wrists so that it would be less likely to slip. Beck pulled as hard as he could, and in one smooth, fluent motion I was out. My very bones were on fire, and I was shaking so viciously it was amazing I didn't break straight through the ice again. Beck wasted no time. Within seconds he had pulled us off the ice and onto the solid ground again. I felt his strong arms scoop me up and hug me against his warm chest. And then everything went black.
Beck's P.O.V
I ran to the cabin as fast as I could with Jade snuggled against me. It only took about 1 minute to get there, but in that short time, Jade had passed out. Fumbling with the keys to the door, I shoved it in the locked and slammed open the door. Closing it behind me, I laid Jade gently on the bed, and ran to the furnace, turning it up as high as it would go. Jade was still unconscious and she was shivering uncontrollably. Trying to remember every tip from every ice safety course I ever took, I stared to rip off her clothing. Firstly undoing her combat boots and sliding them off her feet. Her socks were drenched so I took those off too. I tore off her heavy coat, and the sweater underneath. Her tank top seemed relatively dry so I left that on. Lastly I took off her skinny jeans which were completely soaked.
"How do girls even put these on!" I thought to myself. I tried to remember the next steps on what to do. Jade wouldn't have enough body heat to warm herself up, so I would have to do that. Stripping down to my boxer shorts, I climb in the bed beside her and pulled the blankets over her. Wrapping my arms under her thin shirt and around her back I pulled her as tight as I could against me. Her eyes fluttered open and, gasping, she closed any distance between us. She tucked her toes in between the bottom of my legs and I winced at the coldness. She was shaking and shivering so badly I could feel the whole mattress moving. She buried her head into my chest and I rolled over so that I was on top of her. I don't know how long we stayed like this. It could have been 10 minutes; it could have been an hour. But I didn't move until Jade's shivering had stopped and she had relaxed. She didn't feel as cold either. Rolling over I looked around the room. Not bad, I thought to myself. I hadn't noticed the large Jacuzzi when I first walked in. Then again I had been rather pre-occupied. Jade hadn't said anything for a while. Putting my head right next to hers on the bed I whispered into her ear.
"I'm guessing you don't want to go skiing right now then?"
Jade let out a loud "HA" which quickly turned into a sob. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she cried into my arms. "I should have listened to you. I was stupid. I am so sorry." It was horrible to have to watch your girl friend cry like that. Sliding off the bed, I went and started up the Jacuzzi. Jade was still crying and I could feel my heart breaking. She honestly thought I was going to be mad at her?
"Jade, come here." Jade tottered over to me like a 3 year old expecting punishment. Her eyes were red and swollen, her hair was tangled and matted, and all of her makeup was in streaks running down her face. And yet, to me, she was the most stunning person I'd ever seen. I placed my hands on her shoulders and tilted her head up so that she as looking at my eyes.
"I love you." I whispered softly. She let out a low whimper and more tears streaked down her face.
"I love you too." The Jacuzzi was now filled to the top and I stepped in letting the hot water wash over my legs. Holding my arm out I helped Jade slide in next to me. Her legs were still a bit shaky. She laid her head on my shoulder and I put my arm around her. It wasn't until nearly 20 minutes later that we spoke.
"Beck?" she asked me slowly.
"Ya?" my eyes were close and I was leaning back against the head rests. I peeked one eye open to look at her. She was biting her bottom lip and looking at me carefully.
"Kiss me?" I leaned in and brought my lips softly to hers. She went to pull away, but I stopped her, pulling her closer to me and pressing my lips harder against hers. My tongue snaked its way along her lower lip just begging for entrance. She granted my wish almost immediately, and wrapped her hands in my hair tugging slightly. At this moment, it didn't matter that the bags outside that held all of our clothes were probably soaked through, or that the furnace wasn't used to being turned up so high and the room was starting to smell like dead fish. All that mattered was the beautiful girl sitting on my lap, with her lips pressed to mine, as we closed the curtains facing the ski hills, and sank deeper into the water.
A/N: okay so there it is! What did you think? I'm sorry for any missing "t"'s you may find. I'm using a different computer and the t key doesn't work that great :P.
