"Tyler... wheres Jenna?" I ask, holding Leo up.

"I don't know! She was with me and we were on our way to the other tower and then something crashed and-"

He looks back into the fog, tangles his fingers in his hair and shakes his head.

"God what did I do?" He asks, looking up to the sky.

"We can go find her Ty." Leo says, grabbing both of our hands and dragging us through the thickening crowd of hurt people trying to make it out of this chaos.

I hear the amublance sirens in the distance now, I can see the bright white sun, looking down through the fog, mocking us.

We kind of moon walk through the debris and people until we get to the officers and firefighters standing by.

The two buildings had just turned into one huge mountain of rubble and flame and human beings.

"Mike I can't-" Tyler turns around and looks at me. His whole face was dyed red and his eye was swollen shut and a heavy purple color.

"I can't see."

"Okay man, I've got you." I turn around and help him on to my back so I could get him, and Leo, to a medic.

Leo was acting like she was fine, like normal, but she was staggering like a drunk and singing I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me under her breath, and she doesn't even like that song.

"Ma'am! Hello my friends need help right now." I almost scream at one of the medics standing by an ambulance.

"Yes sir, what happened?"

"I have no idea, but my girlfriend, well fiancé, is really not good with pain or blood and shes, like, hallucinating or something because she hates Fall Out Boy and earlier she was running a fever and my friend got hit in the head with something or fell or, I don't know but you have to help!"

I was crying muddy tears as I set Tyler down on the steaming hot concrete.

I sat down next to him with Leo on my lap as the medic put some cream on Tylers head and wrapped it in white gauze. She handed him some pills, an ice bag, and a pillow and he layed down on the curb.

"She didn't even know she was bleeding, and thats really not like her because she has anxiety attacks with little paper cuts, so I don't even-"

"It looks like something impaled her." She said, looking at the slice in her hip. "Did you push down on it?"

"Y-yes ma'am." I answered shakily, running my hands through Leo's hair.

"Well kid, you probably kept her from going into hyper bulimic shock. Whatever sliced her got deep enough to bust an artery." She says, opening her bag full of scary utensils to work on my baby.

"If you hadn't had clogged it, she probably would have liver failure or could have lost this leg." She did something that made Leo jerk but then the medic was done and loaded her up on a gurney.

"Where are you taking her? Can you take Tyler too?" I ask, standing up and following her to the door of the ambulance.

"Sir, I need you to listen to me." She says, holding on to my shoulders.

I didn't even realize how hard I was crying, which made me go into another coughing fit. My cheeks were wet from sweat and tears and blood that wasn't even mine. I'm so confused and dizzy and lost.

She handed me a mask out of the cab to cover my face with.

"Listen to me hun, you've helped your friends and your fiancé so so so much. Don't kick yourself. We're gonna take her to the hospital to make sure everything is okay, just to be sure. Shes going to be fine and so will your friend over there. I don't know what has or what is going to happen from here on, but be strong, because thats all we can do right now."
