Heal my Heart

Chapter 29 - Material Damage

"Call Luke!" Kelly shouted.

But Gordie didn't know what to do, he was completely lost. He couldn't take his eyes off his injured friend, stuck under un entire wall.

After the show the night before, Allie had slowly calmed down and they had just gone home, not bothering with Lexie anymore. Of course, some people had taken the night further and ended up dangerously drunk. They were all resting at the hospital not to bother their roomies but when Gordie came to the hospital with Grizz the next morning, a violent earthquake shook the entire city. The hospital, being the oldest and weakest building, had suddenly collapsed on them, trapping all the people inside. Some were badly injured and others ran away in a panic that only made the situation worse.

"Gordie! Wake up! You have to get Luke, we need his powers to get him out of here!" she repeated, alarmed.

"G...Grizz..." he whispered, stretching a hand at his unconscious friend under the rubble.

"Gordie, please. We also have to take the other wounded to the east wing. Right now, there's nothing we can do to help him out of there, we have to wait for Luke. He'll use his power and take care of him, but I need you to stop freaking out!"

Gordie lifted his head up to take in his medical friend's state. She was injured at the leg and blood ran down her eyebrow, but she seemed fine, helping as many people as she could to the east wing.

"A...Alright, Luke." he mumbled, taking his phone out and dialing Luke's number.

"Hey, Gordie, did you feel the fucking earthquake ten minutes ago? God, that was something!" he cheerfully answered.

"L...Luke, there's been an accident at the hospital...The..The building almost entirely collapsed on us because of the earthquake."

"What?! God, are you guys okay?! I'm on my way to help!"

"Yeah, come quickly, Luke!" and with that, he had finally succeeded in composing himself again.

He was about to cast a last glance at Grizz before joining Kelly to help the others when he noticed his friend slowly waking up. He saw Grizz trying to get out of the rubble only to be crushed a bit more on the floor.

"Grizz! Don't move, you'll only make it worst!"

"G...Gordie...? What happened...?" Grizz weakly whispered.

"Kelly! Grizz's awake! Don't freak out, but the building collapsed on us because of the earthquake. A few other people are trapped like you and we're waiting for Luke to come help us with his powers."

"He...He won't be able to...help, he can o...only move small objects..." the injured boy said, his breath going a little wild.

"Grizz, stay calm, okay?" Kelly interrupted.

"Stay with us, alright? First, are you hurt anywhere?" she said, placing her hands on his one arm sticking out of the rubble, trying to localize his pain.

"I think...some of m...my ribs are broken..."

"Alright, can you feel both your legs? And arms?"

"Yeah..."

"Ok, you seem alright with just a few ribs broken and a concussion. Now, we need to get you out of here. Where the fuck is Luke?! The cafeteria's not so far!"

"Right here!" Luke called, running to their friends.

"Thank God." Gordie relaxed a bit.

"For Christ's sake, Gordie! You didn't tell me it was Grizz that got trapped!"
