Fix me (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016

Chapter Eight

(Not edited)

| Adam's POV |

I had a late shift at the hospital tonight, but as soon as i finished, i checked up on teta and made my way to my car. I get on the road and drive towards teta's house to check on Layla and Melak.

I know its late but i'll feel better once i see that that the lights are off which could only mean that they're sleeping peacefully.

Im only doing this because i promised teta that i will look after them.. even if its from afar. Yes thats the only reason, i try to convince myself.

I hear sirens and see the firetrucks racing to be somewhere. I hope no one is injured..

As i drive into their neighborhood i slowly realize that the fire trucks are parked outside teta's house.

Oh no no no it cant be..

Fuck fuck fuck their house is on fire.. and i mean ON fire. The house is going up in flames. My heart instantly drops with the realization.

I park the car on the side of the road and immediately jump out. I run to the closest fire fighter and bombard him with questions about Layla and her child.

The firefighter looks at me with a horrifying expression "Someone is in there?" He almost shouts.

"Y-yes! we need to get them out of there!" I dont wait for an answer before im running towards the burning house. My protective instinct takes over, the girls have to be alright.

"Come on Layla, according to your grandma you've been through hell and back, you can live through this too come on come on you and your angel have to be alive you have to make it" i chant to myself as i try to find a way in into the house.

Think Adam think!

They are probably in Layla's bedroom since its about 01:00 AM at night. Okay so i have to get in to the bedroom as fast as i can, the front door is impossible to get through if i wanna make it out alive.

The window! I need to find a way to climb!

With help from the firefighters we put the ladder up against the upstairs window, i start climbing instantly not waiting or listening to the firefighters.

Fear is pumping through my in blood, I'm afraid of what ill see when i open that window. As a doctor myself know that this amount of smoke is deadly and almost impossible to make it out of with no harm, but i still hope, pray.. no not pray i wish for a miracle. A miracle that grants them life and health after inhaling all this smoke, i dont even let myself think of the chance that the fire could have caught up with them.. and burne- no no no.

I push the window with all strength i possess, careful not to break the glass in case they are behind it.

The instant the window opens, im greeted with a sight that could bring any man, even someone cold with a heart made of steel like me to their knees.

It could bring anyone to the brink of tears.
