Then I run. I run faster than I have ever run before in my life. Molly's back. Molly's safe. Molly's alive. She's alive, oh thank god she's alive. I keep running even when my lungs begin to ache. The hospital ward is on the other side of school. I hear Josh get up after me, but I out ran him ages ago. He doesn't have the drive that's making me run so fast I no longer feel my legs.
When I finally arrive at the ward there is a nurse standing outside reading notes on a clipboard. She asks "Can I help you?"
"Yes I need to see Molly Woodfree, I heard she was here?" I reply
"Visiting hours are over, you have to leave." She answers sternly.
"WHAT! No way I am going in, do you know who Molly Woodfree is? She is the girl that's been missing for three days, she's the girl who is amazing at everything, she's the kindest girl you will ever meet, and she's the girl that has been my best friend since I was six months old! I am going to see her. Now!" I declare.
"I do know who she is, but there is nothing I can do you'll have to come back tomorrow." She says
Then an idea sparks in my mind, my parents are spy's and I am grateful for my parents smart thinking.
"Okay I guess I'll go then" I say turning around, I see the nurse look back to her notes. Then out of the corner of my eye I see her go back into the ward. Even more perfect.
I turn quickly and run towards the door and burst in I see Miss Greenworth standing over a bed, looking a little tearful. Molly. I approach slowly, the nurses don't seem to care. They are too busy to care. I walk up to Miss Greenworth and she is saying something to Molly "She's not allowed to come now, she will be here in the morning." I think she's talking about me, clearly she didn't see my entrance. I cough just to get her attention. She looks over eyes wide "What are you doing here?" She asks but before I answer Molly calls out "Emma, Emma is that you?" I reply
"Molly!" I run around the curtain to look at her. I gasp when I see her, she has cuts and bruises all over her arms and face and I assume the rest of her body looks similar, I just can't see it. She cut her lip and one of her eyes are swollen shut. She is dirty and her hair is matted. She looks awful and like she's in agony.
"Oh Molly, what did they do to you?" I whisper tears welling up in my eyes.
"I...can you give me a hug first please" She pleads
"Of course" I look to Miss for reassurance, she nods.
I rush over to her and hug hair as gently as I can so that I don't hurt her. I pull up a chair next to her bed and sit on the edge clutching her hand. "What were you thinking?" I whisper to her.
"I was thinking I didn't want the school to blow up..." she replies quietly.
"Molly!" Miss says sternly.
I gasp and look at them, their eyes it away. "Oh my god!" I gasp.
"You aren't to tell anyone, Emma!" Miss demands "I have to go, I'll be back to talk to you Molly"
She walks out and I'm left alone with Molly. She starts crying, and I realise that she must have been putting on a brave face for Miss Greenworth. Tears slip down her cheeks and she turns her head to me, "It was awful Emma, they tortured me, beat me and I wouldn't tell them anything so the hit me harder. One time one of them pulled out a gun. I only survived that because I said that they would have no lead if they killed me. They just tortured me until, I passed out. Emma it was so awful"
"Molly, I don't know what to say. You've been through hell and I'm not leaving your side again!" I try to reassure her.
"What happened to you, you have stiches in your eyebrow?" She asks worriedly.
"Well, as you know I started training and the second time they broke in, I was in the training hall. The lights went out. And I ran for the exit. Except it wasn't the exit. It was a wall..." I say blushing.
"Wait so you ran into a wall?" She asks giggling. "Hang on were you in the training centre all night then?"
"Well no, Josh came and found me and we hid in a storage cupboard" I answer. I hope Molly doesn't see what I really want to be saying because she has enough to deal with at the moment. She frowns.
"Josh as in annoying Josh, Josh who purposely trips us up in the corridor?" She asks, face twisted in confusion.
"I know I was surprised to. He's my partner. Oh who's yours?" I ask.
"I don't want to talk about Alex, we work together and nothing more!" She replies angrily
"Oh sorry." I look the floor, I wonder what happened between them. I hope it doesn't happen with me and Josh.
We talk for another hour or so and then she drifts into sleep. I kiss her head and lean back in the chair and close my eyes and begin to think about what Josh would've said if we hadn't been interrupted he tells me that he thinks he loves me and that all he wants is to be with me then he kisses me and tells me that he has wanted to do that since the day he first laid eyes on me. Then finally I fall into black nothingness, relived that the world, for once is simple.
Authors Note: So Molly's back! More tommorow but it's pooey because up to now I had it pre-written and after next chapter I will have to start writing it again so less updates! Planning on updating my Hunger Games Fanfic today but not sure yet I'll see!!!
Check out my divergent fanfic! Very proud of the first chapter!
