Love and Other Trouble {Shannon Leto}

chapter 31

I didn't knew where to stay, so I drove to MacDonald's to plan the next days. Once I got my burgers I sat down at a table and got through my phone. I called Finn one more time, but he still didn't answered. After I ate the first burger I remembered what Shannon said to me. I ate the rest and made my way to Shannon.

I arrived at Shannon's house rushed to the heavy, wooden front door. Before I knocked on the door I took a look at the hills behind me, fire and smoke was the 1st I saw. I knocked on the door and soon Shannon opened it. "Kay what's wrong?" I didn't answered, instead I turned around and looked at the hills again. "Oh my fucking god! Are you okay princess?!" I nodded and fell in his arms. "My drums are still there." I whispered. "Don't worry, you can buy a new kit." "No... It was my dad's kit.."

******a week later******

I still was at Shannon's house and still thought about my house. I was in a deep hole, I lost my dad's drum kit. Shannon tried everything to light up my mood, but all I needed now was his presence. While Shannon made lunch for us, my phone lit up, an unknown number called me. "Yes?" "Miss Zyder?" "Yes, who's there?" "Mark Geoffrey, chief of the LAFD. You reported the forest fire last week right?" "Yes chief." "I have good news for you." My heartbeat sped up. "We were able to keep the fire away from your house. We saved it." I burst out in tears. "Seriously?" "Yes Miss Zyder. Our men there took out the fire, so it's save again to go back." "Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much chief!" I hung up and ran out to my car. I heard Shannon yelling my name. Getting my helmet out of the car I looked back to Shannon. "What happened?" "My house! My house isn't destroyed babe!" I kissed him on his lips, but pulled away as I realized that I just called him babe. "Babe?" He winked at me, smiling from ear to ear. I blushed and turned away. "I like that." He giggled walking back to the house. As I prepared myself to get on my bike, Shannon came out with his helmet. "I'll come with you."

We drove the street up, which led through the woods. But soon we were stopped by a police officer. "Excuse me, but I can't let you go further." He said as I put my helmet down. "Pleaser Mister, I live here!" "Oh it's your house in the middle of the forest?" "Yes the wooden one." "Then you're Miss Zyder?" "Yes, Kayla Zyder. Please officer." "Okay go." He smiled and put the barricade aside.

Soon we arrives at the house. It was covered in ash, a huge circle was around my house, showing how far the fire came. A firefighter came to us. "Miss Zyder?" "Yes?" I said under tears. "We tried to keep the fire away from each house here in the hills, but yours is the only one that survived..." I cut him off, hugging him tight. "Thank you so much." "No problem Miss. Please take care of the smoke. The danger of smoke poising is still high." I nodded and said goodbye, hugging him one more time.
