Thunder and Lightning

Chapter Eight

Still Scott POV
"Hey Scotty" I stared with my mouth wide open at Mitch. He was attached to so many monitors. His legs were propped up and they were wrapped in blood covered gauze. His knees were in braces, and legs in splints.
"I'm so sorry Mitch!" I sobbed. I walked over to him and gently gave him a hug.
"Don't be. Now, Queen is hungry. I need bagles." I softly laughed. I knew he was doing this so I wouldn't be worried. I could see the fear in his eyes. He was going to be let out of the hospital in a few days, there's really nothing else they can do. He'll be in a wheelchair until his physical therapy starts. Mitch slowly starts to drift off to sleep. He needs it. I take a seat in the chair that is in the room and rest my head on the wall. I end up sleeping too.

Now what is happening to Kirstie and Avi? We shall see... Muhahahaha! I had to...

Kirstie POV
Pain. I feel pain. Cold. I am cold. I open my eyes only to find darkness. I see little specks of light. Then reality hits me like a brick. I am buried under a pile of rubble. The events of the previous day flash in my mind. Lightning hitting the water... How am I still alive? I should have died from that. But does that mean that... Avi. He could be dead. Then I realize just how lucky I really am. I didn't die from the fall when Esther did, I didn't get crushed by falling objects, I didn't die from the lightning strike, I did not end up in the ocean, I we as not impailed from debris in the tsunami... Wait a minute. How did I know that I wasn't dead? How did I know that I wasn't impailed? I tried to free myself but failed miserably. Where's Avi? I need him. He can't be dead, I can't possibly go on without him.
"AVI!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
"AVI I NEED YOU!!" No response.
"PLEASE!!" I started to consider the facts. I am buried under a pile of rubble. Most people probably think I'm dead. The chances of a rescue team finding me are slim... Yup. I made a conclusion based on the obvious evidence.

I am going to die. I am going to die under this pile of rubble. No one will save me. I taste blood as it drops down my face. I am going to bleed out too. Well this just so super fantastic. What should I do for my final moments? I think for what seems like forever. Then it hits me like another brick. The only thing I can do and the only have I have been able to do.
Sing.
Now what to sing? I think of Avi. He helped me. He stayed with me. I need him. As long as I'm with him, there's no place I'd rather be. Hmm... Rather be. I remember when we covered that song. It has such great meaning.
As long as I'm with Avi, there's no place I'd rather be. I need him. Then it strikes me like, not a brick, but a lightning bolt. All of which have actually striked me. I really like Avi. I want to be with Avi. I get a flurry of butterflies in my stomach. I definitely like Avi. No wonder I need him. I start to sing.

We're a thousand miles from comfort.
It wasnt very comfortable in an Armageddon-like hurricane.
We have traveled land and sea, but as long as you are with me
There's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay, Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name, switch up the batteries
If you gave me a chance I would take it it's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be...

I finish the song a little later. I think about my circumstances. I smile. I still have Avi, and no matter how long it takes, I will find him. I black out (probably from blood loss) thinking of Avi, and hoping that someone heard my singing and will come to my aid.

Third person

"I heard something! Over here! It sounded like singing!" One of the rescue workers shouted to the rest of the team. They follow him and come to a giant pile of rocks.
"If anyone was in there they'd be dead! Are you sure you heard right?" The captain of the team asked the worker.
"I swear I heard someone! They must be under the rocks and not dead!"
"We'll let the dogs see if there's anyone there." They released the search and rescue dogs. Sure enough, when one went up the pile of rocks, it turned and barked, signaling that there was someone there.
"Let's get them out of there!" The team started to move the rocks. About 15 minutes of moving rocks in, and they see a blood covered hand. They dig in that area until they uncover all of the body. The body being Kirstie Maldonado.
Kirstie was fading in and out of consciousness at that time, and she was concious just enough to hear what he rescue team was saying.
"Oh my gosh!" One of them exclaimed.
"Is she still alive?"
"Someone check her pulse!" One of the members walked over to Kirstie to check her pulse. Sure enough, her heart was still beating.
"She's still alive! Get a medical team in here as fast as possible! We don't want to risk killing her by moving her! Instead, let's move these rocks so she can be helped by the medical team!" The captain shouted his commands.
Just as Kirstie was about to pass out again, she heard one last sentence.
"Poor thing..."

I won't be updating any more tonight, and all this weekend. I've just got too much to do. I hope you liked this chapter, I've got more coming!
