My back landed heavily against cement, and every part of my body screamed in agony.
Lucas’s helicopter rotated above me before flying into the distance.
Blood pooled beneath me. Terrified, I wanted to get up, but my leg seemed to be broken. It could not support me.
Those who had envied me for getting saved were all stunned. It took a long time for someone to rally them.
“Hurry, save her!”
As this call came, all those strangers, whom I had only seen once, ran over to me with all their might.
Some people helped me up while others brought water to my lips. Another kept asking how I was.
I could hear the earthquake warning going off again and tried my best to speak.
“I’m fine. You have to run.”
Just as I said this, the ground started to shake again.
Amid the noise, everyone gathered around me. No one was willing to leave me behind.
At that instant, I let go of all that I had felt for Lucas.
I could not deny that I truly did love him.
