Loving Annabelle

chapter 18

Simone quickly got off of Annabelle. Annabelle raced to the door to see that the front of the club was on fire. Everyone was racing for the exits plowing each other over.

Annabelle looked at Simone. "Go out the window in my office. I will come out once I get everyone out alive."

"I can't leave you here." Simone pleaded.

"I will be fine. I want to know your safe." Annabelle said.

Simone nodded her head. " I love you." She said as she kissed Annabelle.

"I love you too." Annabelle smiled.

Annabelle watched as she made sure Simone went out the window. She went around and helped people to the nearest exit. The smoke was blinding her. She coughed as she continued to help. One by one they were out safely. Just then Annabelle went for the exit when she was grabbed from behind.

She turned to see it was Cat. "What are you doing? Your going to kill us both."

"You think I care?" Cat laughed.

Simone stood watching as it continued to burn. Colins stood beside her.

"Where's Annabelle?" Simone started to worry.

"She was right behind me." Colins said.

Simone kept staring at the place worrying about Annabelle. The fire was bad. The fire trucks pulled up. They started to put out the fire.

Simone stepped forward and Colins pulled her back.

"I can't let you go in there." Colins said.

"But...." Simone started to cry. "She's still in there."

Colins held onto Simone. Just then there was cheering and Annabelle came out carrying someone.

Simone raced forward as Annabelle put down who she was carrying. Simone threw her arms around Annabelle.

Annabelle winced.

"What happened?" Simone asked.

"Cat was in there. We got into it." Annabelle frowned. "I finally was able to knock her out. So I just carried her out."

"I was worried about you. Don't you ever make me worry again like that." Simone said.

"I won't." Annabelle said as she pulled Simone into a kiss.

"I love you." Simone said softly.

"I love you too." Annabelle smiled.

"So what are you going to do about the place?" Simone asked.

"I have insurance. So I will contact them and we go from there." Annabelle​said.

Cat was taken to the hospital.

"I should probably take you to the hospital." Simone said. "Just to make sure your okay."

"I'm fine. It just a few bruises and a couple burns." Annabelle protested.

"Please." Simone said.

Annabelle finally agreed to go with Simone to the hospital. Once there they were shown a room. Annabelle sat down and stared at Simone.

"I'm glad you're​ alright." Annabelle said.

"Thanks to you." Simone kissed Annabelle.

Dr. Jana came in clearing her throat. Simone went and took a seat in the chair.

"So Annabelle how is your breathing?" Dr. Jana asked.

"Good except for when Simone is around she takes my breath away." Annabelle smiled.

"Very funny. " Simone laughed.

"It hurts from the bruises and cuts." Annabelle said.

"I'm going to give you something for the pain." Dr. Jana said.

"No!" Annabelle said firmly.

"Why not?" Dr. Jana asked.

"I use to do drugs. I don't want to end up hooked on something." Annabelle said softly.

"Alright that's no problem." Dr. Jana said. "You probably got a few broken ribs but everything is good. Since you don't want pain medicine you are free to go."

"Thank you." Annabelle smiled.

"You're welcome. Now I don't want to see either of you unless it's for the double date." Dr. Jana laughed.

"Alright." Annabelle said.

Dr. Jana left.

"Let's go home." Simone said as she helped Annabelle up.

"Your place?" Annabelle asked.

"Sure." Simone said.

Simone helped Annabelle out to the car. Annabelle pulled Simone into her arms.

"I'm really glad you came into life." Annabelle said.

"I am too." Simone said.

Annabelle kissed Simone and got into the car. Pulling out Simone drove to her place.
