“Good. Let’s go,” Sebastian said as he extended a head towards me.
I reached out my hand and took his immediately, feeling thankful for his warm touch. The feel of his hand reassured me that he was ok…that he was alive. Sebastian began walking in front of me, but I called for him to stop.
“Sebastian…wait!” I cried out to him.
“What is it?” Sebastian asked as he glanced back at me, stopping in his track.
“Umm…let me support you,” I said.
I quickly walked to his side and linked his arm with mine. Sebastian looked at me with a surprise look before he smiled gently at me. That smile really took me by surprise. The way his emotionless face transformed when he smiled was breathtakingly beautiful. Despite the dire situation that we were in, I felt my heart skip a beat shamelessly…
It was dark and I was starting to wonder where we were headed or if Sebastian knew where we needed to go. I walked patiently by his side as Sebastian guided us away from the cliff that we had just fallen down from.
“We can’t climb up the cliff but if I remember correctly there’s a way that we can circle around and go back…that or we find a place where my phone can pick up signal and call for help,” Sebastian explained to ease my worries.
“Ok…sounds like a good plan…” I whispered.
That wasn’t what I really wanted to say to him though. What I truly wanted to say was to thank him for saving me and to apologize for my stupid and selfish action that led us into this mess. However, I couldn’t bring myself to voice those thoughts, I was scared of what he would say to me if I did.
I couldn’t read Sebastian at all so I couldn’t tell what he was feeling or thinking. However, I was sure that he was angry at me because if I were him, I would be as well. Suddenly, I felt very ashamed of myself, and the burden of the blame felt a hundred times heavier than it did before. I followed behind him wordlessly as I hung my head low.
I wasn’t sure how long we walked but it couldn’t have been very long. It was so dark that I could barely see around me. Sebastian wouldn’t say anything, and I couldn’t bring myself to say anything either, so we walked together in silence. Without knowing what else I could do, I decided to start praying for Sebastian’s phone to be able to pick up some signal.
It was nothing short of a miracle that my prayers were answered shortly after.
“I think we’ve got signal…” Sebastian mumbled as he began calling someone on his phone.
“Really?” I asked in amazement and relief.
If Sebastian could ask for help, then we could get out of here.
I listened as Sebastian spoke on the phone with someone and told him about our location and briefly what happened. Thankfully, he did not mention anything about my wild plan of escape. He just mentioned that some things happened, and we ended up here.
“Let’s find a place to sit down and rest while we wait for help to arrive,” Sebastian said practically as he looked around for a place to sit.
I watched as Sebastian found a large tree and sat down, leaning back on its large trunk. Wordlessly, I followed and sat next to him with my back leaning on the same tree. I stole a glance at Sebastian’s face as I sat there next to him. His face was emotionless as ever and as always, I wasn’t able to read him at all.
I wanted to know if the wound on his head still hurt but I decided to keep quiet rather than ask.
Of course, it hurts. I couldn’t believe how hypocritic I was acting. How am I supposed to just ask him about it when all of this is my fault? The silence between us stretched out as my feelings of guilt ate me up from the inside. The howling night wind was the only thing that I could hear. I wanted to apologize for what I had done but I didn’t know exactly what to say or how to say it.
My mind fumbled around with words as the awkward silence continued between us. Sebastian sat next to me silently with one hand holding his phone loosely. Since he hasn’t said anything to me apart from things that were completely necessary, I figured that he was very angry at me. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, I did deserve it this time.
I hated the situation that I was in but without considering anyone but myself, I perhaps forgot that Sebastian probably didn’t like the situation that he was in either. It was getting darker and darker, and the wind was getting stronger and colder. I pray that Sebastian’s men would arrive soon, so that we can get out of here and Sebastian can finally go to the hospital to get all his wounds tended to.
…
I don’t know how long we sat there silently next to each other before Sebastian’s phone started vibrating in his hand. The sound of his phone vibrating was like a call from heaven to save us. My eyes widened with joy when I heard the sound of his phone vibrating. By the time that the call arrived, I had already loss all track of time, and I had no idea what time it was or how long we’ve waited.
“Alright. I don’t have a lot of battery so you’ve got to hurry…” Sebastian spoke through the phone after he listened to the instructions from the other end.
“What’s going on? Is help coming?” I asked in a shaky voice.
“My men are already at my car. So, they’re close by. I’ve turned on the GPS of my phone now so that they can track it,” Sebastian explained.
“Oh, ok…” I said, relief flooding my body.
It wouldn’t be long now until someone would find us and help get us out of here. After our brief exchange, the conversation between us became extinct once more and we lapse back into complete silence as we sat there next to each other. It was surprising how far away I could feel from Sebastian even when we were sitting so close to each other that our shoulders were practically touching.
It was precisely because I felt too guilty about everything that I couldn’t bring myself to speak to him. Each moment that passed by in silence between us felt like I was drifting further and further away from Sebastian.
“Sebastian!”
“Dude…if you’re there you gotta make some noise…”
“Sebastian! Sebastian!”
“Why on earth is he out here anyways?”
“It’s so dark…”
“You honestly think the young boss is out here?”
“Sebastian! Sebastian!”
Suddenly we heard voices in the distance. Sebastian’s men were here. That was faster than I thought. Sebastian got up at once after he started hearing the voices of his men. Taking a deep breath, he called back to them.
“Luka! I’m here!” Sebastian yelled at the top of his lungs.
Sebastian kept on calling his men as he turned on the flashlight on his mobile to get the attention of his men. It wasn’t long after that the man named Luka spotted us and signaled for the whole team to head our way.
“Seriously Sebastian…how the hell did you end up here?” Luka asked, his brown eyes narrowing suspiciously at Sebastian before glancing in my direction.
