Dream Lovers (Part II)

As they sit under the streetlight, holding on to each other, they heard the sound of sirens in the distance. He gives her a gentle squeeze and says, " I told you, that it wouldn't be long. We are about to be rescued." They both just sit and watch as the police and firemen hurriedly pulls up to the wrecked cars. They run up to the cars peering inside looking for injured people. Mat waves at them and yells," We're
over here, officer." The police officer runs to where they are sitting and yells for a paramedic. He squats down and looks at both of them and asks, " Are you two, okay? Is either one of you injured? Can you tell me what happened?"
As the paramedic looks over them, Mat explains to the officer what had happened. The officer glanced over to where the cars where all smashed together and replied, " I don't understand why neither one of you isn't seriously hurt. You are both lucky to be alive. Someone must have been watching over both of you." Mat smiled up at him and replied, " I do believe someone was, officer."
The paramedic finishes his examination and stands up. He shakes his head and says,
" You both seem to be in pretty good shape considering what your cars look like. It's a miracle if you ask me. We still need to take you to the hospital and have you both checked for internal injuries and to have some x-rays taken. You both seem to have some type of head injury, even if you don't think that they are serious, we still need to make sure that you both don't have any internal bleeding."
Mat stands up and helps Hannah to her feet. " I guess you are right, sir. It won't hurt to make sure. I feel fine but I think that she needs to be looked at to make certain that she is okay." The paramedic looks a little puzzled and asks, " Do you two know each other or did you just meet?"
Mat smiles and replies," We just ran into each other but I feel like I have known her for a long time."
The paramedic shakes his head in bewilderment and waves for a couple of stretchers to be brought over. " I know that you two would rather sat up in the ambulance but I'm afraid that we will have to strap you in for your own safety. We can't take any chances since we don't know if there are any internal injuries." He takes both of them and makes them lie down on the stretchers. They are put in the ambulances and taken to the hospital.
