Chapter 3
Re-Live and Rejoice
Abbey
Yeah
What will we do now?
I think we are starting the world over.
We sat under the tree, eating an apple.
Us, you mean, boyfriend and girlfriend?
I guess so.
We stood up, curious about the new land.
Why were we chosen?
Lucky we were. We would have died.
Caleb started to talk under his breath.
Dad, if you hear me now, I love you!
Caleb turned from me. A tear dropped down his face. His throat sounded heavy. He ran away, from his fears, and differences. Down the hill he sprinted.
Caleb wait! Wait!
I put the bunnies down and jolted after him.
No! No! I can't! I won't leave you dad! Come back!
Don't leave Caleb! You have me!
Caleb kept on running down the hill, trying to ignore my horrific yelling. Just then, something told him to stop running. That's just what he did.
He went flying forward, hitting his head. I could hear him breaking bones!
CALEB!
My yelling turned into crying. How could Caleb and I survive like this? My legs never felt so light as I sped down the vast hill.
Caleb lay at the bottom. I finally came.
Where does it hurt?
Everywhere!
Specifics?
Arms and shoulders
I felt his chest, arms, and shoulders. Oh God! It looks like he has a broken shoulder bone! Crap! What do I do! Maybe even a fractured arm! I tried hard to keep my tears in. We didn't bother going back up the hill.
Man! He was heavy! I took him to a pond. I cried.
I can't bear to lose you, because I love you!
I love you too. Since I met you.
