“Help,” I cry out. “Somebody help?”
I don’t have my phone, so I can’t call nine-one-one.
“Roman, you’re safe. I found you.” She chokes out a sob, her big blue eyes peering up at me. I brush her hair away from her eyes, so she can see me better.
“I’m safe. You found me,” I whisper to her. She’s going to be okay. She’s strong, my beautiful Mila.
She coughs and groans. Oh, god. Blood trickles from her mouth, and I wipe it away with my thumb, as if that small act will make it all go away. As if she doesn’t have internal bleeding.
I cradle her head in my hands. “Keep looking at me. Don’t close your eyes.”
A woman calls out, and I turn to her. She yells to me that she’s got help on the way.
I turn back to Mila. “Hear that? Help’s on the way. They will come fix you up. You just gotta keep breathing. You have to stay with me, Mila.”
“I’m cold.”
Her body is trembling, and I don’t have anything to cover her with. I have nothing but the shorts I wore for the fight last night.
“I got you. I’ll keep you warm.” She closes her eyes and my heart drops. “Mila, come on. Mila, open your eyes.”
More blood trickles from her mouth, and I let out a cry, trying to wipe it away, but it’s not stopping. I clean her face as best I can while I call her name, over and over again.
“Wake up,” I cry out, and I’m rewarded with two blue eyes…and a small smile. I release a ragged breath.
“Don’t do that to me, sweet girl. You scared me. I need to see your beautiful eyes. I need you here with me.”
She tries to reach out to me, and I grab her hand and hold it. She’s so cold. Fuck, this is really bad.
“I see you, Roman.”
“Good, just stay with me. Help is on the way.” I can hear sirens coming closer. They’ll save her.
“Kiss me,” she whispers.
“Just keep breathing. I will kiss you when you’re safe.”
“No, I need you to kiss me, Roman.”
“Why?”
“Because you were my first. I want you to be my last.”
I press my lips to hers, and she lets out a small sigh. I promise this won’t be her last kiss. She’s gonna be fine.
I pull back from her just as the red and blue lights start to dance across her face.
Her eyes flutter closed, and her body goes limp in my arms.
Fuck, no.
Mila.
