Collins' eyes were closed, that much he knew. he was afraid to open them since he didn't know where he was or what condition he was in. There was a sharp pain in his leg, but he really didn't want to look at it in fear of what he might see.
"Collins?" he heard Susie's voice say. He then felt her small hand on his cheek. "Collins . . . are you . . . dead?" Susie's voice sounded as if she wanted to cry or had been crying. "Please don't be dead."
"Mmm . . ." was Collins' attempt at a reply.
"Collins?" Susie's voice sounded hopeful.
"Mmm . . ." Collins opened his eyes slowly and saw Susie looking down at him.
"Collins!" Susie helped him sit upright. He saw that the sharp pain he felt in his leg was a rather large cut. From what he had no idea. "Are you okay?"
"I . . . don't know." Collins rubbed his temples and then his eyes. "What . . . happened?"
"Those guys ran us off the road and you fell out of the car."
"How'd that happen? And how come I'm not completely cut up?"
"The car flipped upside down and something broke the big window in the front. Then you fell out of the window and I fell after you cause I was trying to grab your hand."
"Wait a minute . . . are you sayin' . . . you tried to save me?" Susie nodded.
"You saved me from those dogs so I wanted to save you," she explained.
"You could've gotten yourself killed!" Collins exclaimed. Susie backed up a little.
"I thought I was doing something nice," she said, her lip quivering. Collins sighed.
"Come here," he told her. She sat on the ground next to him. "You were doing somethin' nice, I just . . . I'm sorry. I just don't want you to do anything to put your life in danger. Especially for me. Okay?" Susie nodded. "Wait . . . where's Lisa? Did she get thrown out of the car too?"
"I don't know," Susie said. "Collins, what if she died?"
"Don't say that."
"What if it's true?"
"I'm sure she's okay. We just have to find her." Susie helped the struggling Collins get to his feet. "Do you know which way the car is?"
"Um . . . no," Susie said, looking at him apologetically. "Sorry."
After walking for several minutes they finally found the car. It was completely upside down, laying on giant rocks, and the roof was almost entirely crushed in. Susie suddenly tripped and fell. On the ground she noticed that Lisa was still in the car, unconscious.
"Oh no," Susie said. Collins helped her up.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Lisa's still in there!"
"What!?" Collins hurried to the car and managed to turn it on it's side as Susie looked at the contents of the trunk that had been scattered about. "The door's stuck!"
"Would this help?" Susie asked, walking over to him holding a crowbar.
"It might." Collins took the crowbar from her and pried the door open. He then threw the crowbar to the side of him and carefully lifted Lisa's unconscious body from the car. Her arms were cut and bruised badly. She also had a few bruises on the side of her face.
"She doesn't look so good," Susie said.
"Please don't be dead. Please don't be dead," Collins whispered. He continued in a louder voice. "Lisa? Lisa, can you hear me?" Lisa stayed unmoving in his arms. "Lisa . . . please."
"What do we do now?" Susie asked. Collins thought for a moment before gently placing Lisa on the ground.
Thank God Angel dragged me to that CPR class, he thought as he put two of his fingers on the side of Lisa's neck.
"She's got a pulse," he said.
"Does that mean she's alive?" Susie asked Collins nodded and then pinched Lisa's nose before blowing two steady, even breaths into her mouth. "I thought you didn't like girls."
"I don't," Collins replied while pushed on Lisa's chest and bent down to blow two more breaths into her mouth.
"Then why do you keep kissing her?"
"I'm not kissin' her. I'm tryin' to revive her."
"What?"
"I'm tryin' to wake her up." Susie gave an understanding nod.
After Collins had been performing CPR for about seven minutes, Lisa took a shuttering breath and coughed violently. Her eyes fluttered open and immediately landed on Collins.
"C-Collins?" she said, coughing again. Collins gently brushed some of her hair out of her face and picked her up again, cradling her in his arms. "Wha . . . what happened?"
"Matt ran us off the road," Collins explained.
"Why would he . . . was he trying to kill us?"
"That's my best guess."
"Collins, how long was I out?"
"I don't really know."
"He saved you!" Susie exclaimed.
"How?" Lisa asked, looking up at Collins.
"He kissed you!"
"For the last time, it wasn't a kiss," Collins said.
"It was a kiss of life!"
"Susie, it was not a kiss."
"Thanks for caring about me, Collins," Lisa said, looking into Collins' eyes. She placed one of her hands on Collins' cheek and stroked it with her thumb.
"Lisa . . . we've already talked about this," Collins said.
"I know, but I can't help it."
"Do you think you can walk?" Lisa nodded and Collins gently put her feet on the ground. "Now we gotta get outta here somehow." Susie and Lisa silently agreed and, as they start walking, Collins heard something or someone behind him. As soon as he turned to see who or what was following him,a person (he didn't get a good look)knocked him unconscious with the crowbar he'd used to pry the car door open.
I bet that either confused you or made you go "What the hell!?" There shall be more action in the next chapter. Review please.
