Tied Up In Love- A Travlyn Fanfiction

Chapter 18: The Water From Drowning in Sorrows Doesn't Put Out Fires.

Early release- 10 minutes till Friday! I stayed up till this hour to post this as early as I could. K- back to the emergency:

If you experienced a serious problem with any house fire or fire related things and get triggered by this, you can skip the chapter. The end will have a short, less dramatic explanation to help you. Sorry for any problems and I hope you enjoy :)

"T-the house next door! It's- its on fire!" Katelyn yells out the address and as little information as she can to make sure help gets here faster. She grabs the suit jacket and runs outside, looking for Travis in the smoke near the building.
"Travis!?!??!" She yells over the flames and sirens of police cars streets away. The wind is howling and the flames are screaming. Travis suddenly hops out of the flames in one piece.
"Travis!" Katelyn runs over and embraces him in a tight hug, her eyes almost about to shed a tear.  Flames swoop over the roof, engulfing the whole top of the house.
"W-wait. There's something very important in there."
"Travis, you can't go back in there. The roof could collapse at any second."
"I-I love you." Is all he says before running through the door as police cars pull up.
"What is he doing!?!? He's mad!" The faint yells of officers in a panic didn't seem to calm Katelyn's nerves. She could only hear them faintly from the fact that the one she loves is in that building and could die any second. A huge fire truck pulls up and people are immediately grabbing the water hose. A firefighter runs to Katelyn.
"Ma'am, is there anyone in the building?!"
"Just Travis..." Her quiet voice says, cracking as much as her heart is. The man quickly ran into the building. It felt like a movie- everything was faded and blurry except what mattered- the thought that he would be gone forever. Aphmau and Kawaii~Chan run outside and stood next to Katelyn as she stood in horror and shock,praying Travis would get out of that house. Dante, Garroth, and Laurence pull up next to them and step out of the car. They just got home from a party to see the house in this shape.
"What happened? Is everyone okay? Wait... Where's Travis!?!" The Dante asks. A sudden figure emerges from the smoke and shadows of the flaming building. A weak, limping, coughing, and burned Travis is getting out of the building with the help of the fireman. He's bleeding from his head and has blood running down his chin from his mouth. The ambulance pulls up and takes out a stretcher as fast as they can. The fireman sits Travis on the stretcher. The trained professionals pull him into the back of the car, hooking him up to a breathing system and other machinery to keep his heart pumping. The back of the car closes and the alarms start blaring again as they take Travis away to safety. The water pours onto the house putting out every small spark inside and out. Finally, the burned and soaking wet house was no longer on fire. The officers offered all of the group a blanket to calm down but everyone refused, all but katelyn. She just silently sat on the curb in Travis's suit jacket accompanied by the shock blanket. The officers question the whole group but Katelyn who was clearly in way too much shock to answer questions at that moment. The police cars begin to disappear into the distance one by one. Then the fire truck. Then the last officer gets in the car and leaves. Aphmau walks over to Katelyn.
"Katelyn... Are you okay?" She asks.
"No."
"I see..."
"I'm going to the hospital and waiting until they let me see him." With that, Katelyn stands and goes to the hospital. She goes up to the secretary and is told she needed to wait. Katelyn sat down on the chair with the only thought accompanying her was the thought that Travis could be dead in there. She sits in the small uncomfortable chair at 1:47 am on a Friday. The time moves very slowly. People come and go and soon, she's the only one there. It is now 4:27 am and she still hasn't even rested her eyes for a minute. A doctor suddenly walks out looking at a clipboard.
"Excuse me ma'am, are you Katelyn?" He asks looking down at the board.
"Yes. I-is he okay?"
"He's critically injured with some head trauma and 1st degree burns from something falling on him, but he should survive."
"Can I see him?"
"Yes, but know he is weak, tired, and out of it. He was just in a burning house so don't try to force him to talk or anything. Just let him slowly get back on track."
She stands and slowly walks to the door of hospital room 117, afraid of what she'll see. She knows it would hurt him more if she didn't enter, but that didn't fix the fact that seeing him so injured would tear her heart to shreds and burn the pieces. She grabs the handle and pushes the door open. There, in front of her, Travis is laying. He's hooked to a machine, he has a bandage around his head, a cast around his leg, and a good proportion of him is burnt.
"Oh... Travis." Katelyn's eyes slightly tear up at the sight of how hurt he is.
A weak, low voice responds as positively and flirty as it can.
"H-hey...-" he coughs violently for a moment.
"Katelyn...I-"
"Travis-  calm down. You don't need to talk right now. Just rest up and get your energy back."
"Y-yeah. But..." He points to his right."Thats your jacket, right?"
"Yeah... What about it?"
"I got it out without a scratch. That's uh... More than I can say about myself."
"Travis- you're telling me you ran into a burning building to get my jacket?"
He nods.
"Travis, you're an idiot." She places a gentle, light kiss on his head before taking a seat on a chair next to him. Travis' humor made it much easier to hold back the flooding tears that might of escaped if he wasn't okay.
"An idiot with a girlfriend who has her jacket, though. That's gotta count for something, right? Right, Katelyn?"
Katelyn giggles at Travis' logic, hoping that at least her presence was helping Travis right now.
"I can't argue with that, Travis, Can't argue with that."
