Sing For Me

I Shouldn't have shouted at him

Ben's point of view

I stand at the entrance looking at my watch Lisa should have been here by now, she'd text me to say she had got to the station and heading for the train, where is she whats keeping her, I cant help but worry, I don't like her using the tube especially these days, this city as much as we both love it can be very unforgiving, no time to stop to take care of those around you. The thought of someone, pushing her, hurting her haunts me.

There's suddenly a surge of people inside the station, shouting screaming could be heard from deep inside it, then the roar of sirens heading towards us somethings happened. Lisa oh my god where is she what's going on. I decide to head into the station down to the trains where she should be coming from. I get to the escalator and I'm stopped, there's suddenly police everywhere. "I'm sorry Sir you cant go down there" he tells me

"What's happened please tell me has there been an accident" I ask my heart racing my stomach filled with fear.

"There's been an explosion Sir, that's all we know at this time" oh dear god, no my Lisa, my baby please let them be OK. I try and push past him again, I have to find her "Sir please did you not hear what I said" he shouts

"But my wife is down there, she was on her way to meet me" I tell him.

"We have people at the scene sir" he tells me

"But she's seven months pregnant, please you have to find her" I plead with him.

"Sir I can assure you we are doing everything we can" I rub my hands through my hair, I cant believe this Jesus this is all my fault, if I hadn't have pushed her to come out if she would have stayed at home she'd be safe, what the fuck is wrong with me she didn't want to come out she told me, if anything has happened I will never forgive myself, I very rarely pray but today I ask whoever is listening to bring my girls back to me, please god I beg you.

Lisa's point of view

It's dark and there's a horrible burning smell, people are shouting some for help, others just screaming its enough to tear at my brain. I'm lying on the floor, I think I can't really see, my baby girl, oh my god my baby is she OK that's all I can think I start to sob and talk out loud

"Please baby just move for mummy please" I rub my hand over my stomach like Ben does every night and wait for ages there's nothing I start to panic feeling sick with fear then out of nowhere she kicks and rolls over the relief makes me cry and I talk to her again "Its OK sweetheart, we are going to be OK" I tell her. I try to get up I have a pain in my hip probably from my fall. my handbag is still under the seat where id placed it when I sat down, I go to grab my phone to use it for light.

The torch on it is bright and shines in my eyes causing me to slip back. I turn it around to see whats going on, everything is a mess there's been an explosion or something people are hurt, some badly but I can't bear to look too long, I look at myself I've been lucky. I keep looking around and I see the little old lady that gave up her seat for me shes lying on the floor just a few feet from me and shes crying. I crawl over to her and try to help her the closer I get I can see shes hurt badly, shes trapped under part of the carriage door that's caved in shes bleeding there's blood everywhere. "Are you OK my love can you hear me" I say to her.

"Oh pet, are you alright, you and the little one?" she asks about me when she must be feeling so scared and in pain. My little girl has obviously woken up with all the panic as she is moving around letting me know shes OK

"I'm fine, but you are in pain?" I ask her

"No love, I cant feel anything" she says which worries me, its like shes crushed her breathing shallow
