To Capture A Ring

Lost & Found

"Come on, let's get you up" Brianna urged her, grabbed her under the arm to help her stand. I reached out to help too. Once she was on her feet, I let her lean against me for support. Markie and Jordan were both crouched down next to Fred. "Hey buddy, can you hear me?" Markie asked "Fred, can you hear me?" but Fred didn't respond. "Let's carry him." Jordan said. Both guys scooped Fred up and carried him. "Let's go." Markie said, the boys taking the lead as Brianna and I helped Mariah limp behind them. With every step she took, she would wince in pain. I felt so terrible about the things she went through tonight. I wonder how long they were out here just sitting and waiting.

"Call for an ambulance for Fred, send them to your house, Tatiana, and then call Mariah's mother to let her know we found them." Jordan directed. I pulled out my phone as we kept walking, calling 911, asking for an ambulance, giving them my address, and then I called Mariah's mother, letting her know that we had found Mariah, and I also let her know the condition of Mariah. Then I called my parents, letting them know what was going on as well, because I'm sure they were worried too. The journey to my house went quicker than I had expected it to given the circumstances. We got there just as the ambulance was pulling into the driveway. Behind it Mariah's parents. Jordan and Markie set Fred down onto the stretcher, and then stood back letting the paramedics do what they had to do. Brianna, and I backed away once Mariah's parents came over to help support her as she told the paramedics the story.

I went and sat down on my front porch steps, Brianna and Markie sitting on the chairs that we on the porch. I heard Jordan nearby on the phone with what I assumed was Fred's parents. Once he hung up he came over to sit next to me. I looked at my phone to check the time 4:53 am. "I called Fred's parents to let them know. His mother sounded horrified. She thanked all of us for helping out. I also ended up calling off from work because I had an hour of sleep when I went home earlier, and now its almost 5 in the morning, and I have to be up at 6, for work at 7" he quietly chuckled. "Thank you for all of your quick thinking tonight." "Hey there my friends too." I smiled at him. "We're going to head up to bed you two, Bri's parents said we could crash here for the night since its so late Jordan." Markie said. Jordan nodded, but didn't say anything. "You should stay, they're right, it is late." I added. Jordan gave me a small smile, "thank you, I will." Markie nad Brianna went inside the house. Moments later, we decided to go in too, after I went into a full-blown yawning fit making Jordan laugh at me, earning himself a playful punch in the arm.

I stood up from the stoop, brushing the back of my pants off from any dirt, or anything else, and then went inside, heading straight towards my bedroom with Jordan on my tail. I unlocked my bedroom door, stepping inside. "You can either have the bed, or the floor, your choice." I stated as I gathered my pajamas I abandoned earlier from off of the floor. I went to my dresser, pulling open a drawer before digging inside. I found a pair of basketball shorts and tossed them to Jordan. "Thank you" he said as he caught them. "Those should fit. I'm going to get changed. You can change in here." I walked out of my room and to the bathroom that was right next to my room, I changed out of my clothes and into my pajamas, washing my face as a part of my nightly routine even though I did it hours earlier my face was dirty from being outside. I used the toilet quickly, washed my hands, and then headed back to my room, locking the door once inside out of habit.

Jordan was lying in my bed on his back with his arms resting underneath his head. I shut the light off, the light starting to come in through the window was plenty enough to see with now. I went over to the bed, reaching over Jordan to grab a pillow. Once it was in my hand, I was getting ready to pull it away when Jordan stopped me. "Where do you think you're going?" he said playfully. "To sleep on the floor." I said, stating the obvious. "No, you're sleeping next to me." he said wrapping his free hand around my body, pulling me down on top of him, so that I was in the bed. I felt my face start to heat up, as a blush crept over my face. I rolled off of him, and we were now lying down face to face, and he had his hand placed on my waist. We stared at each other for a moment before he brought his hand up, brushing my hair out of my face. "You're so damn beautiful." I smiled "Thank you." I stared at his lips,I was too nervous to kiss him there, so I opted for a quick peck on the cheek. "Goodnight" I said."No, no, no. You're not getting out of it that easily. I saw that." He teased. I looked down, but he pushed my chin up with two of his fingers before placing a hard kiss on my lips. After a moment, his tongue was dancing across my bottom lip, begging for entrance, which I gladly allowed. Once he gained access, we took turns exploring each other's mouths. Soon enough, it was a full-blown make-out session, and things were heating up quickly. "We should stop" he said, pulling away to allow us both a moment to catch our breath. "Yeah, you're probably right." I agreed sadly. "Don't be sad, we have plenty of time to keep doing that. We both need sleep. Come on, I'll hold you." I turned in the bed to face the wall, he sat up, taking his shirt off, tossing it to the floor. Then he layed down and, as promised, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close to his warm, shirtless body, leaning over he gave me a soft kiss on my lips. :Goodnight" he said the tiredness seeping from his voice. Soon enough I fell asleep.
