Sophie walker [Book 1] ✔️

Thirty-Six

SOPHIE POV

I grabbed everything I could. I got my phone, photos of all three of us, and some documents Dad said were important. I called the fire department.

"Hey ah hello there's been a fire here. I live on street 132 can you please come fast?" I was crying.

"Hey hey I've sent out a few cars, just get out of the house fast and calm down okay? it'll be okay."

"Okay, thank you." I hung up the call and ran down the stairs and I slipped, I didn't fall completely but I fell on my hand.

"FUCK." My hand burnt but I ran out of the house with everything in my hand. I was coughing badly now. I could barely breathe. I set everything on the ground and called dad.

"Hey dad."

"Hey soph it's me, duke. Are you okay?"

"Duke the house is on fire."

"Oh god, did you call the fire department? Are you okay? Are you outside? Did anything happen to you."

"I'm out, I burnt my hand I think, I called them." I coughed badly.

"Me and Ash are gonna get there as soon as we can okay? He's in surgery I'll get him out it'll be okay and try to breathe yeah?

"Yeah, the fire department's here."

"Okay, I'll hang up, we'll be there soon." He hung up. They put on an oxygen mask and wrapped a cloth around me and a different one for my hand.

"I'm Claire, are you okay love?"

"I'm okay please take out the fire," I said, my voice shaking.

"We are, Where are your parents?"

"Dad's in surgery, he's a doctor."

"Okay, okay I'll stay with you alright? Just keep breathing through this mask you've inhaled a bit of smoke."

ASHTON POV

I was in surgery. I was almost done. My phone was with Duke cause I knew this surgery would be long.

"Dr. Walker, I need you to take your hands out please." Dr. Tomlinson said.

"I'm almost done. Why though?"

Duke was standing outside, looking worried.

"Take your hands out."

"I'm almost closing."

"Resident, take over."

I took my hands out.

"Come out." I walked to the scrub room.

"What's up?"

"Ash, the house is on fire"

"Is Sophie okay?" I yelled.

"I don't know but we need to go."

"Yeah."

Then, we ran and sped over to the house.

Sophie was in the ambulance, okay but with an oxygen mask on her face. The whole house was on fire they were putting it out.

I ran over to her.

"Hey, i'm Ashton Walker."

"I'm Claire."

"Is she okay?"

"She's fine, she inhaled a bit of smoke and burnt her hand but she's okay."

"Thank you."

"Dad, I saved the photos and the documents. They're here somewhere." Sophie said, her voice breaking.

"I don't care about them right now, are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, better."

I took a stethoscope and listened to her lungs. There wasn't any crackle so  I removed her oxygen mask. Duke came.

"The whole house is destroyed, there's nothing left." He sighed.

"Okay, we'll find something. Right now, she needs that hand looked at."

"Hey, i'm Matt. The fire is out but unfortunately, nothing is left i'm sorry."

"I'm Ashton and thank you."

"You're welcome."

The cars went away but Sophie took everything she had taken from the house. There were mostly photos of me, Sarah, and her.

"You want to get that looked at?"

"Do I have to?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go then."

We walked to Duke's house, I could tell Sophie wasn't okay, she was shaking, but she did make me take all the photos and everything she could save. 

"Duke, can I take some water?" She asked as we entered, her voice still shaking. 

"I'll give you the glass, your whole body is shaking. Sit on the couch with Ash okay? We'll go upstairs after you calm down a bit." She nodded. I made her sit on the couch with me. She was shaking. 

"Hey, soph you're okay you did well everything is fine." I hugged her.

"It was scary." 

"It must've been i'm sorry I wasn't there but you did everything right okay? I'm so proud of you for handling it the way you did. You were calm, you didn't panic you did everything right." 

"You're not lying?" 

"No." She snuggled more into me. 

"Water. It's a bit cold." Duke handed it to me, her hands were still shaking. 

I made her drink it and we waited a while before she was kind of calm. We all walked upstairs and she hopped on the table. We didn't even tell her to. I knew she was scared so I sat with her. She was zoned out. I snapped my fingers in front of her face.

SOPHIE POV 

Dad snapped his fingers in front of my face. 

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Duke is just going to take care of your hand, okay? It might hurt a bit."  I nodded. I hid my face into his chest knowing it would hurt. Duke was done quickly, and he wrapped it up. 

"Sophie are you okay?" Dad asked. 

"I'm fine can I use the restroom?" 

"Of course, i'm done with your hand." 

I quickly went out. My chest was getting tighter I ran and closed the door. Tears fell and suddenly the room was spinning. I did the first thing that came into my mind. 

"DAD".
