I don't know what happened after that but I woke up to find myself on someone's back. From his scent alone, I could tell it was Noah and that was why I felt relaxed.
He was finally giving me the piggyback ride I always wanted but why did it not feel as good as I imagined?
Instead, my chest felt heavy, my insides felt hot and my eyes were streaming down tears.
Was it a dream? I doubt it. But how did I get out of there, and why was I on Noah's back, walking along the road?
I felt so horrible.
"You're awake," I heard Noah's voice. "Should I put you down?"
"Yes," I said, and he slowly lowered his body and released my legs so they could touch the ground, but when I tried to stand, I couldn't.
There was no strength in my legs so I landed back on his back.
"I'm sorry," I apologized. "It seems you'll have to keep carrying me." He nodded and grabbed my legs before lifting his body up like it was no big deal.
