I heard Xavier's deep voice sliced through the air in a panic as everything else seemed to go silent at that moment.
Before I knew it, I felt someone grab me by my arm and pull me back in a split second. And the next thing I knew, I was falling.
I had fallen and landed on top of him and we were now chest to chest, our faces merely a hair width apart as we locked eyes.
It felt as though time had come to a standstill.
I could feel his hot breath fanning the nape of my neck as he breathed heavily to catch his breath and recover from the fall. He had broken the fall for me and crashed hard into the ground while the driver skidded off faraway before we even realised.
At that moment, any feelings of anger disappeared as I looked at him with worry and concern evident on my face. I pulled myself off of him and my hands reached to caress his face.
"Oh god… Xavier, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
