Helpless
Audrey gasped awake, shaking violently as she attempted to grasp what previously happened. Her equilibrium was off, and her whole body ached unbearably. The only sound audible was the constant ringing in her ears. She pushed herself off from her neck and shoulder, before glancing around the small interior of the BMW. Everything was upside down, including herself. Suddenly, she remember what happened. “Oh god,” She mumbled, as her lip trembled, wide eyed. Nathaniel remained motionless in the passengers seat beside her. “Nathaniel,” she managed to say hoarsely, as she reached towards him, and shook his shoulder, “Nathaniel!” Again, no response. His shoulder cold.
“Holy fuck, oh my god. Can anyone hear my voice?” A male voice called, as Audrey struggled to turn towards his voice. “Hello, is anyone alright?”
“Help!” Audrey screamed loudly as she began to panic. She fumbled to find the seatbelt, and was surprised to find it unlock as a man reached into the car to help her. She latched into his arms, and realized he was wearing a suit. His grey sleeves were covered in blood. Shocked, she glanced at her hands. It was hers.
“Everything going to be okay,” He whispered, as he continued to pull her towards him.
“What about Nathaniel?” She asked desperately, but her question was answered as she saw several hands pulling him out of the wreckage.
“Shhh, he’ll be fine,” He cooed as she struggled to crawl towards the man. Glass pierced her skin, as she groaned in anguish, and was eventually pulled out. The man, and his partner, a woman, set her down on the side walk. The man’s suit blazer was draped over Audrey’s chest. She laid on her back, and gripped onto the woman’s hand as if it were her life support. The image of Nathaniel’s bloody form pierced her memory. She cried silently, as the woman attempted to comfort her by petting her dishevelled hair.
“The paramedics will be here shortly,” The woman whispered, and as if on cue, the sirens wailed through the city. The young dancer glanced towards Nathaniel. He was also laid onto his back, and several articles of other’s clothing were wrapped around him. She began to crawl towards him, but paused as the sudden erg to close her eyes overpowered her, and she fell unconscious onto the pavement. Her hand outstretched toward Nathaniel.
