Lost Soul

Part 17 : yes

Mills had to grip onto to her really hard, to his surprise she had a lot of strength. So by putting all his effort in, he turned her around.

"I'm sorry girl, i'm going to grab you even more firmly." He saw that she understood him and so he did grip her harder and with the most gentle voice said "Kelly knows what he is doing ok? He will come out, let's keep a good mindset."

She breathed calmly' Mills eyes brought her the comfort she needed. But even if she agreed to wait calmly, her whole body had decided otherwise. She was shaking and felt her vision go blurry, then she heard the Chief on the radio.

"Squad 3 report"

But still there was no sign of them, and her hands had started sweating again. She wasn't sure how she was managing to stay on her two feet.

"Stella, here sit down" Gabby said.

So she gently sat Stella down, and in that moment she felt a bit better. She allowed herself to breathe a little, she hated that she had no power over what was happening.

And every minute waiting felt like torture to her, there was still no answers from them inside.

And finally after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, every single one of the squad team came outside with two victims.

"Dawson, Mills" Kelly shouted as he laid a victim on the gurnee "she has burn over sixty percent of her body, but she's breathing"

"We'll take it from here" Mills said.

"Have someone check you out" Dawson said as she watched Kelly take off his mask.

"Yeah"

Stella watched from a far, she knew she couldn't interfere with his work. But her heart was feeling better, he was finally out of there. So she got up, at the end of the day she was just taking up space and obstructing everyone's work. Kelly saw her and blew her a kiss, he was a bit weirded out as to why she was there. But seeing her always made him happy.

And she blew him one back, and just as he was about to smile from a far he suddenly lost consciousness.  And fell to the ground.

Stella was sitting in the chair, completely lost in time. Holding onto Kelly's hand and with her face buried next to him. The position she was in wasn't the best for her, everything was hurting. She felt a hand on her shoulder, it was Gabby.

"You need to go get some rest" her voice was soft.

"I have to stay here, i can't leave him" her eyes were swollen.

"I know but it's been at least six hours, almost seven. You haven't moved, this isn't good for your body" she grabbed Stella's arm gently. "let's at least get something to eat"

"I'm not hungry" and as she looked at Kelly she couldn't help but cry again.

She was scared, she wasn't sure he was going to wake up. And that to her was terrifying, she couldn't help it, he was the only good thing that had happened to her. Not now. She felt herself crumble, Gabby insisted and so she decided to give in. She got up but instantly felt around her spinning.

"Hey, you're ok?" Gabby sustained her.

"I'm ok" she laughed a little "i guess you were right, being in that position was no good. My body hurts."

"See, but let's go."

They got to the hospital cafeteria and sat, Stella was looking outside. Deep in her thoughts. The doctors were yet to do something for Kelly and thats what had her worried. They had already did what was needed in the moment, but he wasn't waking up.

"Everything is going to be fine" Gabby reassured her.

"I'm scared"

"I know but we have to keep a positive mindset ok, and see how things go down"
