Chapter 8 - Somebody Help!
I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I wasn't wearing my wedding dress because it was a rehearsal plus, I can't risk destroying the dress before the big day but I was wearing a fancy dress for the day that my mother gave me which fit perfectly and looked amazing. It's been two weeks and today was the day of the rehearsal wedding. Once we know everything is perfect, we can do whatever.
I frowned when I started thinking that something terrible was going to happen today. Anonymous hasn't even texted me in two and a half weeks which got me worried that he was planning something if he knows about everything me and Jack do. I shook the thought out of my head and sighed. I felt a pair of strong arms slide around my waist and rest their head on my shoulders. I aw from the mirror it was Jack, obviously.
"Ready to go Jack?" I asked and Jack smiled.
"Ready" Jack said before kissing my shoulder and cheek making me blush.
Jack moved his head from my shoulder and led me out of our room. Jack led me down the stairs, out the door and into a limo that was waiting for us with Sarah, Amanda, John and Caleb. We got inside and greeted everyone with a hug. They looked amazing since the boys were wearing their black suits and my friends were wearing their bridesmaids dress. They all looked beautiful tonight but I just hope it all goes as planned.
"Are you alright Amy?" Sarah asked.
"I'm alright" I smiled.
The Limo stopped in front of the place near the hotel which me and Jack will be staying at after our real wedding. I saw some people outside and little ids running around, chasing each other. The adults were talking to each other and drinking there champagne. Jack smiled at me before helping me out of the limo. Everyone stared at us in awe which made me blush and look away. I held onto Jack's arm as he chuckled and wrapped his arms around my waist.
I saw from afar my mother plus Lisa and Catherine since she's finally out of the hospital. I ran up to them and hugged them. Jack smiled as he rolled his eyes and started talking to John and Caleb. I smiled at Jack from a distance before me, my mother, Lisa and Catherine walked inside. I looked around in amazement. I think we picked the best place to do the wedding and rehearsal wedding. The thing is, me and Jack were going to start this rehearsal wedding and the others get to party till we come out to join them.
I don't know why we did this but my parent's wanted it like that, so did Lisa so we did as they said. At least everyone was having a good time outside. There were twinkle lights hanging around the outside area with a buffet for the guest and there were seats and tables around for them to sit at for dinner since it was nigh time now. It's funny how much my mum and Lisa have done so far with planning this wedding. I guess they want this to be just perfect.
"You picked a great place" I said to my mum and Lisa.
"We thought you'd like it" my mum smiled.
"Thank you" I smiled back.
"You're lucky to have your wedding here Amy" Catherine said. I smiled down at her.
"Thanks Cat" I said.
"Lets take a look around and find the manager" my mum said.
I followed my mother and Lisa with Catherine next to me. I looked at Catherine to see her wondering off. I saw a dark figure run past and my eyes widen. I shook my head and walked towards Catherine. I took her hand and pulled her away. We saw the Manager that worked here talking to my mum and Lisa. I walked over to them with Catherine and stood next to my mother. The guy named 'Travis' on his name tag, looked at me and smiled.
"You must be Amy right?" Travis asked and I smiled back.
"Yup, that would be me" I said.
Travis took my hand and kissed it just as Jack walked inside. Jack glared at him and stomped over to us. Jack put one arm around my waist, pulling me closer towards him. Travis shrugged and turned back to my mum and Lisa before continuing to talk. Travis kept glancing at me from the corner of his eyes and smirking. Jack glared at him one last time before pulling me away to the corner of the room, out of ear shot.
"I don't like the way he looks at you" Jack said, scowling.
So he noticed that too
"Me neither but maybe he'll stop" I said.
"He's looking at you now Amy" Jack said. I looked over his shoulder to see he was right, Travis was staring at me again.
"Listen, stop being jealous, I don't like him, I don't even know him" I reassured him and Jack smiled.
"I know" Jack said before hugging me and I hugged back.
We walked back to the others, hand in hand and smiling. Travis stopped talking and looked at us. I could tell her forced that smile back onto his face once he saw us holding hands. Travis hardly knows me and is already getting jealous over nothing, it's stupid plus the wedding is going to be here so he should just get the fuck over it! I don't even like Travis in that way because I just met him and he's not all that.
"Does anyone else smell smoke?" Catherine asked.
"No" I shook my head.
Catherine started wondering off again but sniffing the air so I just shrugged it off. I have no idea where Catherine was going but I'm sure she'll be fine. They said this place was perfectly safe so it should be fine...I hope. I then suddenly heard the fire alarm bell go off with red lights going off making my eyes widen as I started smelling smoke. Our eyes widen in fear and we all started running towards the exit of the area. I ran with them till I heard a scream and I froze in my tracks.
Catherine
I spun around and ran back inside without anyone noticing. The fire had already spread to the ball room we were just in and I started to get worried. I coughed from the smoke going around me and filling the room in minutes. I ran ahead anyway and looked around.
"Catherine! Catherine!" I called out.
"Amy!" I heard someone cry.
I ran towards the voice and I saw Catherine surrounded by flames. I stepped back before running forward and doing a flip so I landed in the circle perfectly. Catherine held onto me for her dear life which we are right now. I looked around for any escape but everything was covered in flames and the wood was going down as well. I looked over at the exit and I got an idea. I picked up Catherine and let Catherine jump over the flames.
"Run Catherine!" I shouted.
"But what about you!?" Catherine shouted back.
"I'll be ok! I promise!" I shouted.
Catherine looked at me one last time before running towards the exit. I looked around and started backing away because the fire was coming closer. I coughed some more because of all the smoke I was inhaling. I felt a burning feeling go up my arm and I hissed in pain as I flinched away. My arm was right next to the flame. I looked at my arm to see it was red and blood started to seep out of the wound.
I bit my lip because it was really painful and I didn't want to scream. I looked at how high the flames were and frowned, they were high. I looked over and ran over to a piece of wood that had fallen. I stood on it and jumped over the flame but my back just hit the flame. I fell on the floor, over the flame and coughed. I struggled to get up but I managed since my whole body was in pain that I could hardly walk without hissing in pain.
I saw the exit and tried to get up. I walked towards the exit because I could run with the burns that had somehow gotten onto my legs, arms, face and back. I heard a crack and I froze. I slowly lifted my head up to look up but then my eyes widen when I saw a long piece of wood that holds the floors together, breaking. When I took one step forward, the wood fell and it hit me.
I screamed in pain as I fell to the floor with the wood on top of me. The wood was too heavy for me to get off me and I was still in pain and weak. I kept trying to get the wood of me as I kept coughing uncontrollably because of the smoke again. My vision was getting blurry and soon my head was resting on the wood. My eyes were closing till they were shut and everything was black.
Jack's Pov
"Where's Amy!?" I shouted, panicking as I paced back and forth outside.
I saw Catherine run outside, covered in black from the ashes of the fire inside and Gabriel, Amy's mum, ran over to her. Gabriel hugged her and Catherine hugged back, scared. I looked at the exit, looking to see if Amy would run out but no one came out after her.
"Where's Amy sweetheart?" Gabriel asked, looking at Catherine and I saw tears running down her cheek.
"She's still inside!" Catherine cried and my eyes widen.
"We need to save her!" I shouted.
"Call for help" Caleb said to Sarah and she nodded.
I ran over to the exit but some wood from the ceiling suddenly fell and blocked the exit. I looked over at Caleb and John for help and they ran over to me. We all lifted the wood up even though it was heavier then all of us, combined. We threw the wood away and I ran inside. I can't lose Amy, I just can't. I coughed from the smoke and looked around. The smoke and flames were covering my vision. The fire was spreading violently and I couldn't see anything.
I ran ahead anyway and looked around. I shouted Amy's name repeatedly but there was no answer. I saw a girl unconscious and I walked closer. My eyes widen when I noticed it was Amy and I ran over to her. Another one of those wood that held up the ceiling was right on top of her. I memorized where I was and ran back outside, to the others.
"What happened!?" John shouted.
"She's trapped under the same wood" I said, coughing.
"I'll help"
I looked over at Travis and nodded. I need as much help as I could get. John and Caleb looked at me and nodded. We ran inside before hearing our names being called back. I ran to where Amy was and we gathered around the wood.
"1, 2, 3" I counted before they all lifted the wood at once.
I pulled Amy out and picked her up bridal style. They dropped the wood and we all ran out of the hotel again. We ran outside and I fell on my knees with Amy still in my arms. I gently put her down on the ground and looked down at her face. Her face had some burn marks with some black ashes. Her arms and legs had a few as well. I lifted the back of her shirt and my eyes widen at the huge burn mark that was turning red and a bit of blood was seeping out as well. Catherine ran over with the others and she fell on her knees, in front of her. Catherine started crying as she hugged Amy.
"Wake up Amy! You promised me you'd be alright!" Catherine cried.
"How could this of happened?" Amanda asked.
"I don't know" I said till I thought about anonymous and growled.
He must of done this and caused the fire. I heard the fire ambulance sirens and the police sirens as well. The paramedics came and took Amy on a stretcher. They pushed the stretcher inside and I ran over to them before they could close the door. Before they could say anything, I growled and they backed away. I hopped inside and sat beside Amy. I saw Catherine and Gabriel run inside and sit next to me since they were also family. They closed the door and started driving away. I took Amy's hand and rubbing circles with my thumb on the back of her hand.
"If it wasn't for me wondering off, she wouldn't have been here, I'm sorry Jack" Catherine said. I looked at her and frowned.
"No, it's not your fault, we should have listened to you when you said you smelled smoke" I spoke softly.
"I want Amy to wake up" Catherine said, looking down.
"Me too" I whispered.
-----------------------------
"Jack?" I heard a voice say. I groaned and opened my eyes to see Gabriel.
"Yes?" I said, sitting up and Gabriel smiled.
"Amy wants to see you" Gabriel said and my eyes widen.
"She woke up?!" I shouted in shock and Gabriel chuckled.
"She woke up a while ago but we didn't want to wake you so we all went first" Gabriel said, motioning her head behind her and I saw all of our friends.
"Ok, I'll go in" I said as I stood up and stretched. I walked towards the door and opened it just a little bit. I popped my head in and I saw Amy sitting on the hospital bed, watching TV.
"I can see you Jack, there's no need to hide" Amy said, smiling.
I rolled my eyes and smiled. I walked inside and towards Amy. Amy scooted over and I sat next to her. Amy straight away wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arms around her waist. I smiled, at least she was ok and she was awake after a long while.
"Thank you for saving me" Amy whispered.
"No problem" I said. We pulled away from the hug and faced each other, properly.
"So, how long was I out?" Amy asked and I frowned again.
"You were out for a week" I said and her eyes widen.
"What!? A week?!" Amy shouted in shock and I nodded. "Wow" Amy mumbled under her breath.
"I came everyday and left every night, hopping you would wake up, you really worried me Amy" I said and Amy smiled.
"Aw! You came everyday?"
"Yes I-" I got cut off when Amy kissed me and my eyes widen.
Amy wrapped her arms around my neck. I slowly kissed back and wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her onto my lap. Amy pulled away and we rested our foreheads together. Amy smiled and cupped both my cheeks.
"Thank you for everything" Amy whispered.
"No problem sweetheart" I whispered back.
Unknown Pov
"You idiot! You weren't supposed to hurt her or almost kill her!" I shouted at one of my helpers.
"But sir, she only got hurt because she went to save her sister" he said and I glared at him.
"Then why didn't you drag her out when you saw her?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. He said nothing and I growled. "Answer me!" I demanded but he still said nothing.
"You are useless! Get out of my sight before I kill you myself!" I shouted at him and he ran away, quickly.
I groaned in frustration and sat in my seat. These idiotic morons don't understand anything when I say not to hurt my Amy or almost kill her but what do they do? They did the exact opposite of what I say! It's lucky I'm only paying them a little bit of money, these suckers would take anything. I spun my chair to face the wall that had pictures of Amy everywhere. I stood up and smiled at the picture.
"Oh how I love you Amy" I whispered but then scowled when I remembered she was with that asshole, Jack.
I got furious again and I punched the wall making a huge hole in the wall. My knuckles were bleeding but I didn't care anymore. I looked at the picture of Amy, laughing and picked it up. I sat back on my chair and spun around to face my desk.
"You will be mine Amy, even if I have to kill Jack myself" I growled. I heard a knock at my door and rolled my eyes.
"Come in" I said, leaning back on my chair and crossing my arms. In came another one of my helpers I pay to help me spy on Amy and Jack.
"What?" I snapped.
"Sir, we've been told that Amy had woken up" he said and I smiled.
"Perfect, now leave" I said, pointing at the door and he ran off.
I sat down on my chair and logged onto my computer. I hacked into the hospitals camera system easily and I growled when I saw Amy and that Jack boy kissing. They pulled away and started talking but I didn't pay attention. I watched as Jack picked Amy up bridal style and Amy laugh. They walked out of the room and out of sight. I narrowed my eyes at the screen as my anger increased. I picked up the computer and threw it against the wall making it break into thousands of pieces.
I thought sending May there would help to break Amy and Jack up but apparently it didn't work, Jack's stupid father just had to come and ruin it all up! Asshole! I paced around the room, mumbling to myself some plans that will help me get Jack and Amy to break up or to get Amy to myself. I heard a knock at my door and groaned in annoyance.
"Come in" I said. The door opened to reveal some guy, I forgot his name, I think Daniel? I don't know and I don't care but he helps me.
"What do you want?" I growled.
"I heard a crash" he said till he saw the broken computer on the floor. "Oh" he mumbled.
"If this isn't important then get out" I snapped.
"Actually it is, I got an idea to help you get Amy" he said, smirking.
"I don't want to hear your foolish idea" I snapped, flipping him off.
"You know Jack won't leave her sight anymore? He's more protective over her now since your men put the fire" he said and I glared at him with so much anger. He took a step back in fear.
"What do you suppose we do about that?" I asked.
"We get Jack out of the way so you can make your move" he suggested.
"How are we going to get Jack out of the way?" I asked.
"Just leave that to me" he smirked.
