"Christ Liam, slow down!" Ramona panted, her feet feeling like lead as she ran after her boyfriend who was sprinting further down unfamiliar streets. "You hurry up, I don't want to die!"
"Oh shut up." She was breathing heavily and stopped, coughing and spluttering. "I can't run, you're going to have to stop," she said inbetween breaths. Exasperated, he jogged back, and picked up her back. Liam took Ramona's hand and tugged her along. "Seriously Liam, I need to sit down." She coughed, and Ramona felt her chest tighten. She felt in one pocket for her reassuring oblong that helped her out when running. "Oh fuck."
"What is it?"
"I can't find my inhaler."
"Are you serious?" Liam frowned, and bit his lip. "Well, how bad are you?"
"It'll get worse if I keep running." He looked around, and noticed a bench. "We'll sit here for a bit okay?"
"Sure." She collapsed down on the bench, and slouched till almost her full back was on the seat. "You really don't do your lungs any favours sitting like that." Liam sat down beside her and pulled Ramona up again. She put her head on his shoulder and breathed slowly, feeling her chest become more relaxed. "Urgh. I hate Cole," muttered Liam.
"Really? Because if you hate him, there really isn't words to describe my feelings for him. Abhor. Largely resent."
"Oh I love you." Ramona turned to face him. "Really?" He ran a hand through his copper coloured hair. "I messed that up. When I planned saying that, it wasn't meant to sound stupid and like I was talking to Tee or something-" He was cut off by Ramona kissing him, and he moved his hands from his hair to hers, kissing her back softly. She felt the pulse on his neck and smelled his awful Playboy aftershave which he insisted made him the man he was, and was always personally insulted when Ramona told him it was god awful. "I love you." She felt his lips smiling and they whispered "I love you too," and kissed her again.
Ramona cuddled into him, and sighed. "Do we have to do this?"
"Do what?"
"Run. Can't we just... Go to Burneywood?" Liam blanched, and turned Ramona's face to his own.
"I'm not letting you go there, and it's actually safer out here, than it is there."
"But there wouldn't be someone looking to kill you there."
"If I stayed there more than a few hours there would be." She laughed, and stood up, pulling him with her. "We've been running from Cole for four days. Maybe we can stop."
Liam gave one of his crooked smiles, full of his old mischievous self. "Where do you wanna go McKenzie?"
"Anywhere you're not at!"
"Oi!" Ramona ran up the street and Liam caught her easily, tackling her and tickling her till she couldn't stop laughing, even when he stopped. "Wait, what street we on?"
"Uh, Rockaway Road, why?"
"There's a park near here, I came when I was on holiday!" She power-walked off up the road, looking around, determined to find the park. "It's so cute, all these little swings and stuff!"
"If you really wanna go, sure..." Liam walked after her, and the two walked up an ally.
"I think it's up here..." She kept walking, and hit a dead end. "Bugger. Well I guess we're just going to have to turn around." Ramona was about to start walking when she noticed something. "Liam?"
"Yeah?"
"Where are you?"
"Right here." Ramona squinted into the dark.
"Wave." A dark figure moved, and Liam's hand moved.
"See, I'm here! What's gotten into you?" His accent was different. Slightly too strong.
"Where's my stuff?" The figure stop moving.
"Uh."
"You idiot!" The figure was shoved to the side and fell to the ground with a heavy thump. "Bastard, you told me you could do accents!"
"I can Cole-" Ramona saw Cole hit the guys face, and a faint moan come from the ally. "Ramona?"
"Cole, don't do anything you're gonna regret!"
"Who the hell do you think you are?" The dark haired figure of Cole came into view, towering over Ramona. He grabbed the front of her hoodie, and pushed her up against the wall. "Listen girl, you're gonna do what I say, right?"
"Shit Cole, get off me-" His hand clamped over her mouth, and no matter how hard Ramona bit, he wouldn't let go. She cursed herself for not having her knife with her, and for leaving her stuff with Liam. Cole was fiddling with his belt, and Ramona knew what was going to happen if she didn't try to do something. Trying her best to keep one hand free, she bit as hard on Cole's finger as she could, and in the split second he took it off her mouth for, she screamed. "Liam!"
All it took was a single shout and Cole stopped to cover her mouth, leaving both her hands free. She punched him in the stomach and as he doubled up in pain, Ramona dropped to the ground and rolled, and started sprinting out of the ally. One of his mates tried to stop her, but he was barely twelve, and Ramona could have beaten him with one hand behind her back. She kicked him in the crotch and punched him in the jaw as he fell to his knees, dodging him and as he lay on the ground and she continued running, she heard Cole swear as he fell over the minion. As the ally got lighter, she saw Liam and two gang members fighting, and as she ran, she felt her chest tightening. "Shit, not now, please not now..." Ramona kept running, even though she knew her time was getting short. "LIAM!" His head span round and as soon as he saw her, he hit a hard blow to one of the guys and took the chance to run. Her head was getting lighter, and a little tunnel was starting to form over her eyes. She turned her head and saw Liam mouthing something, but she couldn't really hear him. As she turned round, and ran across the crossroads, the whole world started to slow down. Ramona was about to stop to breathe, when the bus hit her.
