As I reached the last step getting off the bus someone appeared on the ground. My eyes tried to focus, searching for the rails to keep me up, my one and only support. My breathing turned into gasping, my heart raced in front, my strength deteriorating at the speed of light. My eyes wandered back to the ground as someone called my name again.
"Lizzie?"
I swayed in response my head growing and lighter and lighter almost like a helium balloon. I took another step expecting flat ground to be safer. As my toe touched the tar my legs shook and trembled as the bus drove off, the bus driver impatient, all strength vanished, my legs falling out from underneath me. It all vanished.
My eyes flickered as my lips twitched.
"Lizzie?" a frantic voice whispered in my ear.
My eyes still saw darkness, my body felt freezing and disconnected and my ears over the ringing could only just make out the frantic voice. My eyes and body felt kilometres away, my body heavy and unreachable. I couldn't reach control as I blacked in and out.
"Come on Lizzie!" an agonized voice begged their breath caressing my face and blankenting me with some form of warmth.
My eyes twitched and my head felt heavy as it was lolled awkwardly to the side. I moaned and rolled over where it was darker and warmer, a true blanket.
"Oh Lizzie?! Oh Lizzie!" a voice said exhausted with relief as something like an embrace grew tighter and warmer around me.
"Matt?" I murmured into something groggily.
"Here. I'm here." He answered, something brushing my hair.
My brain was gaining more control as my eyes tried flickered open heavily, a great lot of strength just to open my eyes; I took note of the feeling of an arm wrapped around me supporting me just like the knee I was limply against. One of my arms sat dangling limply over the knee the other held; the only part of me feeling warm, if anything too warm. The grip on that hand tightened giving me a reassuring squeeze.
"Matt?" I whispered my eyes gradually flickering open.
His hand brushed my cheek and I shivered at the warm touch his hands growing tighter around me. I sighed and my eyes slowly crept close again protesting at the strain.
"Stay. Stay awake. Liz are you okay? Hurt? Do you need help?" Matt's voice growing higher as he grew more anxious.
I slightly smiled "I'm kay. Just want sleep." I murmured "Sorry." I whispered after a moments pause.
"You're okay right?"
I smiled and slightly laugh, the laugh itself draining enough as it, I sighed "Yeah. Dunno what really happened. Maybe I just fainted from the stuffiness on the bus and all?" I proposed taking a deep breath as a ripple of shivers ran through me.
"Come on, let's get going. Your ice." He said anxiously.
I pouted rolling my head back into his chest "But I'm comfy." I protested childishly.
His body vibrated as he chuckled, he sighed as his chuckles died off "You scared the hell out of me Lizzie." He whispered.
"Mmmm." Was all I could say as his scent grew stronger by the minute, more and more mouth watering.
"You just fell..." he said trailing off in worry and wonder. I couldn't answer it either, it was an unknown mystery, I was known to faint over things, it was what my body did when it couldn't deal; let's just conk out and have a good rest.
My eyes began to droop again until I remembered "Did anyone else see?" I murmured trying to keep my eyes open and failing. I attempted sitting up more comfortably before my back would become agitated.
"No one really saw it." He said helping me sit up "I think that's what made the situation ten times worse."
I looked up to his usually beautifully cared face now engraved with pain and worry. I knew that look; it was I'm freaked, quick let's run before it rubs off look. I bet he hated having offered my brother to pick me up from the bus stop, or maybe he didn't offer. I don't know how male friendships work, yet I was totally unsure as to why he'd offer to pick up his best friend's younger sister from the bus stop as she got home from her month holiday up the Gold Coast with her friends celebrating the conclusion of her HSC.
"You know if you have to get to somewhere you can go. I'll happily walk." I offered expecting him to take the bait and run with it.
"Lizzie are you blind?!"
I looked around and back up at him smiling coyly "Nah, I can see you." He smiled slightly back relaxing "So enlighten me. Where is this sudden blindness creeping on from?" I asked curiously.
"I don't want to run."
I looked up now confused my frown showing as I tried to think and makes sense of his sentence, my brow furrowing. He chuckled smoothing them out.
"I don't understand." I finally whispered.
"I, Lizzie" he began as I looked up "Don't want to leave you."
I became even more confused and slightly freaked "So you are just gonna follow me around wherever I go?"
His lips reached down and brushed mine "Exactly."
I froze in shock my heart racing off in front without the rest of me.
"Liz? You okay? You're not going to faint again?" he asked anxiety back.
I looked back up at him "Maybe." I wheezed out breathlessly. I had one thing to get and I was looking at them.
The corner of his lips pulled up as he noticed where my gaze was "I'll protect you." He whispered ever so low.
"I'm not scared." I whispered licking my lips.
And then his lips were crushed to mine. I sighed my heart racing off into the sunset; my body became moulded to him as my hands explored every angle of him. His hands pulling me closer and closer his as his hands cupped my face and brushing my hair aside. My lips gave way and fell apart as his did and the power of his breath and intoxicating taste did it; my head growing dizzy, but I didn't care; I couldn't get enough, I wanted more.
Until sadly he pulled back, our breaths ragged both gasping for air.
"See I told you I'd-"
But I didn't hear those last words as my eyes rolled into the back of my dizzy head. Blacking everything. Again.
"Liz?" something whispered in total shock.
I moaned something touching my lips once, twice and than a third time. My eyes flickered "Sorry." I said sitting up a bit more, he kissed my forehead my heart fluttering "Told you I didn't care." I whispered with a slight smile.
He kissed me!
"Come on. This aint right." He said about to move.
I smiled "I don't think it was from an illness." I admitted sheepishly looking away as I turned crimson.
"Oh" he said sounding confused and distant as I still avoided his gaze "Oh" he said again louder as he suddenly understood happily his thumb suddenly stroked my bottom lip, looking up I caught his eye.
A smiled was stuck on his lips "I love you Liz."
A smile appeared below his thumb "I love you too Matt." I whispered his lips mirroring my smile.
And then they were joined moving to a new level, I released for air after many moments of pleasure and tingles.
"Better?" he asked his voice husky and ragged like mine.
"Not quite." I said smiling bringing his lips back.
