Nervously tapping his foot on the pavement, Marcus stared at the screen of his phone, absently scrolling through facebook, not really paying attention to any of the posts, just using it as something to do to keep his hands and eyes busy. He was beginning to worry that no one was going to show up, and he had wasted the day on a pipe dream. He attempted not to let those thoughts gain any traction, but they were there, at the back of his mind.[i][color=ed1c24] Hey, at least I'd get the case of beer to myself...[/color][/i] He thought to himself with a slight snicker. Just as he was about to go inside to grab one of those beers, he was pulled from his thoughts by some shouting coming from down the street, and getting closer.

Marcus couldn't help but panic a little when he saw the girl flying down the path on roller skates, apparently not knowing how to stop. She yelled out for help, which only panicked him more, thrusting the responsibility onto his relatively weak shoulders. [color=ed1c24]"Oh god, oh god. oh god..."[/color] He mumbled to himself, frantically looking around for someone else who could help. Unfortunately, he was the only one close enough to help this girl come to a stop before possibly getting herself into some serious trouble. He inhaled deeply, holding his breath for a few moments before exhaling heavily, and stepping into the path of the speeding rollerskater, holding his arms out, attempting to grab her and bring her to a stop. [color=ed1c24]"I've got ya!"[/color]

He didn't.

Marcus was never known for his physicality, and although he did succeed in stooping the girl, he didn't exactly do it stylishly. As they collided, the young man was crumpled by the force of the rollerskater, getting knocked directly onto his bony ass, with the girl probably landing on top of him, knocking all the air out of his chest. He gasped for air as he hit the pavement, his world spinning for a few moments before gaining his senses again. [color=ed1c24]"Fuck... That didn't go well..."[/color] He groaned softly as he tried to catch his breath. His face suddenly changed in colour, resembling a ripe tomato, completely unsure what to do, which resulted in him just laying there for a few moments.[color=ed1c24] "I... Uh... Are... Are you okay...?"[/color]
