Save Me (A different fanfic)

Chapter 6

We climbed down the steps of the ladder back into the little room. We saw many Bandits lying on the floor unconscious. Roxy, Roger, Freddie and John ran into the room as soon as they saw us. Roxy ran over to me and hugged me.

"Oh thank goodness you're alright!" As we separated she saw my red, tear stained eyes. "What's happened?" She looked around and suddenly realised.

"Where's Nigel? Jen, where is he? Where's Nigel?" I burst into tears once again and she knew why. "No....... No. NO!"

We hugged again, both sobbing and screaming for the loss of our boss. I saw Roger, Freddie and John standing there looking depressed. Soon Brian stood beside him as he was looking upset as well. I saw him and Roger hugging together as well which made me want to cry even more.

Eventually me and Roxy separated and I walked over to the wall. I saw Nigel's passport photo hanging up there. His stern face made me realise what I had to do. I took a deep breath and headed out the door.

"Jen, what are you doing?" Roxy and the boys ran after me as I headed down the stairs to the corridor we were at before.

"I've lost my parents thanks to them, I've now lost my boss and carer thanks to them. It's time that they pay." I ran down into a big hall where I paced around it. "COME ON THEN!! SHOW YOURSELVES!! FIGHT US!"

"JEN!" Brian yelled at me. "Stop this! Now!" I stared back at him.

"You want your stuff back right?"

"That doesn't matter anymore!" Roger shouted at me as he held Roxy's hand. "We have to leave now!"

"You can go if you want to." I said back at him. "But Nigel would've wanted me to keep going. I owe to him to keep going." I ran out the hall trying to find the main headquarters. Everyone followed me as I ran into a room that was filled with Bandits. We were completely surrounded.

"GET THEM!" Roger, Roxy and Freddie ran the other way back down the corridor. I fought every Bandit, kicking them down. I was up for a fight and I wasn't going to give up. I saw Brian and John trying to punch each Bandit down as hard as they could. I then performed back flips and headed towards the other side of the room, so it was just me against them. I pulled every trick Nigel had told me out of the book so I eventually brought all of the Bandits down to the ground. Brian and John watched in shock as I ran past them, heading down the corridor where the others went. Freddie was trying to keep the Bandits away by showing off some moves that didn't really kick him down.

I then saw Roger and Roxy kiss each other, which was a surprise, as they split up heading down each side of the other corridor. I followed Roger down his side of the corridor as Freddie was in deep trouble. Together we all took the Bandits down, even Freddie used a book or something he found to hit one of them over the head. We all panted as we saw all of the men on the ground, not moving.

"Wow, that was amazing." Roger and Freddie high fived each other as I was panting, trying to catch my breath. Suddenly we saw Brian running towards us in a panic.

"Jen, Roger you better come quick. Roxy's been attacked."

"WHAT?" I ran as fast as I could down the corridor holding Brian's hand and stared in horror to see Roxy lying on the floor with a knife in her stomach. The blood was everywhere as Roger and I ran to be beside her. John was holding her hand and looked absolutely white. He then eventually gave his hand to Roger for her to hold and he was shaking.

"What happened?" He yelled, staring at Brian's direction.

"There were too many. One of them had John pinned to the ground so it was me and Roxy fighting them all. I turned my back to her for a second and suddenly heard this rip. One of them had a knife and stabbed her. I eventually took him down but she was already in trouble." Brian had tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

Poor Brian. He saw a lot of horrible things today, and none of it was his fault.

I heard Roxy groan suddenly.

"Roxy, it's us. It's me, Jen. It's ok, it's all over." I grabbed her other hand and put it close to my heart. The tears began to pour as I saw my friend slipping away. "Come on, now, you gotta stay with us. Please. We'll get help, I know it. You're going to be just fine."

Her eyes were filled with fear and she was sobbing which made me cry with her. "I'm sorry, Jennifer. I'm so sorry. I tried, I really did."

"Hey, hey! Don't you say that. You were amazing, stunning in fact. I'm the one that should be sorry, I let my emotions got the better of me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have put you into harm's way."

"It's ok." And she forced a smile. "You're my best friend. You always will be. I trust you, I still do now."

I sobbed my heart out once again. I kissed her forehead and then sat back down, letting go of her hand. "And you are mine."

She looked at me as a tear fell from her eye and then she moved her head slowly to look at Roger.

"Fun date, huh?" She said to him.

Roger laughed while crying as he held her in his arms."I'm so sorry. I should've stayed with you no matter what."

Roxy slowly reached her blood stained hand onto Roger's face and wiped the tears away from his face. "Don't worry, you're still my knight in shining armour."

Roger sobbed and pulled Roxy close. Their lips met as both of them were crying. It was the first time I saw Roxy with someone like that. I felt sick as a horrible thought came rushing through my head. After they kissed, Roger put her head on his shoulder and their hands interlocked.

"Now you are not going to do this to me." He whispered to her. "You're going to be absolutely fine. I promise. I'll be there all the way. I'll make sure of it. You're a beautiful young woman. You're going to be ok. Now stay with me please, stay with me." He stared down at Roxy's face and his tears fell onto her cheeks. "Look at me, Roxy, look at me. You're going to be great, you already are."

Roxy breathed heavily and stared into Roger's eyes. "I love you." She whispered and smiled at him.

Then her eyes closed. Roger stared in disbelief, and pressed his finger on her wrist. He gasped suddenly as she didn't wake up.

"No pulse." He said, his voice cracking as he cried, looking at me. "No pulse. No, No..."

I put my hand in front of my mouth in shock. I balled my eyes out once again, watching in horror as Roger tried everything to bring her back. He tried CPR, he shook her to see if she could wake up but it was too late. He screamed as he held her body in his arms rocking it back and forth. I grabbed her remaining hand and it felt cold, and was now screaming with him. Now my best friend was taken from me. But worst of all, Roger saw the opportunity of being with the girl he loved stolen away from him. He kissed her forehead and held her close. I sat there as I saw Roxy's frail body completely motionless. I've now lost everyone in my life who was close to me. The feeling I now felt was suicidal.
