In no time I felt someone pull Elizabeth away on top of me. And then I hear a loud slap.
'SLAP!'
I open my eyes to see the broad back of William in front of me. Elizabeth was standing in front of him holding her cheek in surprise.
"W-William?" Elizabeth was looking at him with wide eyes. She cannot believe that William slapped her on the face.
William turned around and helped me stand up. "Alicia, are you okay? I'm sorry I wasn't able to save you in time." Worry was etched on his beautiful face.
"It's okay, I'm…ahh." I felt a sting on my left cheek.
"You're bleeding." William looked in shock. He reached from inside his pocket and took a handkerchief. He pressed the handkerchief on my bleeding face. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry, it's just a scratch." I assured him and smiled.
William's eyebrows were crunched with irritation and turned around to look at Elizabeth who was still standing with a dumbfounded face.
