Chapter 7

~~Lucas POV~~

"Demi....wake up....come on!" I shake her roughly hoping she'd still be alive. I check her pulse and luckily there still was one, but barely. I try to carry her but then i hear a loud breaking and crashing sound. I look behind me to see the fire only a few metres away.

I stood there frozen with shock and fear, my body paralysed and refused to move.  Memories of my haunting past come rushing to my head.

Its happening...

Its like the past is repeating itself....

All over again....

But this time...I refuse sit there and watch like a useless potato.

I carry her and try to get up. But the cut on my leg wasn't helping and I felt myself collapse. I curse out loud, feeling frustrated. 

Okay, try again.

I try getting up again, It hurt like a fish. The cut is too deep and the piece of glass is still in there, the more I moved, the more I felt it cutting my skin. As I try getting up again, a piece of the roof breaks and hits my back painfully. I yell out in pain as Demi is lying underneath me, with my body over hers to prevent anything from falling and hurting her.

"Come on Demi....please wake up....." I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I feel helpless, pathetic and useless all over again. I failed to save her...just like how I failed to save my parents.

"...Please...." I close my eyes as I continue to hear the building breaking apart. I feel something soft on my cheeks, wiping my tears away. I open my eyes immediately and was greeted with soft hazel ones that belonged to no one but Demi.

"L-Lucas....what's going o- FIRE OH MY GOSH! We have to get out now." Demi begins to panic and gets up. She tries getting me up but looks down with worry when I hiss in pain.

"W-what happened?" She questions as she inspects me carefully and coughs uncontrollably.

I force out a smile and try to get up, but another piece broke off nearly hitting her, so I force my body to jump up and push her away despite my body's protest.

"ARRRRGGHH!" I close my eyes shut. My back is burnt and probably broken, my leg stings and is probably infected, my arms feel like there are a million knives sticking in them.... How am I meant to accomplish and succeed in what I came here for? How am I meant to help her when i can't even help myself.

"Lucas!" Demi shouts and rushes to my side.

I look up at her with guilt in my now teary eyes. Call me weak all you want....but even a guy has his breaking point. "I-im sorry Demi. I tried helping you....but...now I just put our lives into more danger. Im sorry I couldn't be the one to save you but be the one to yet kill another person..." I start saying but she cuts me off.

"No Lucas...don't say that! You risked your life to come save me. That's enough to make me smile and feel proud. Now you did your part...so let me do mine and do not say anything." She says sternly and I nod.

She slowly helps me up. Although it was still painful, I knew she was being as gentle as possible.

Who knew the tough bad ass was gentle and caring..?

I smile up at her. "I told you, you were an Oreo. Hard and tough on the outside...but sweet and soft on the inside."

I could see her cheeks turn a faint pink colour. "I'm not a softy. So shut up and let me save your ass." She smirks and winks at me. I couldn't help but laugh.

Yup, the normal is Demi is back!

~~Demi's POV~~

I now managed to get Lucas up and standing with his whole body supported by mine. His arm is around my shoulder as I gently but quickly try to get us out of here. But how did he get in so I could get out...?

"Lucas...how did you get in?"

"I jumped through the window, its why my leg has a big cut." He says with a pained expression as I continue to drag him.

"How do we get out then...?" I ask worried.

Lucas seemed to be thinking and I couldn't help but stare at him. He's actually hot. Damn...why didn't I see this before? His well built muscles, soft light, golden brown hair, sparkling grey eyes....I could go on forever.....no hold on! I did not just check out my enemy! The one who tried to kill me years ago.

I was interrupted from my day dream when we suddenly heard the splashing of water.

They're close to us...."Lucas, the fire fighters are near us. If we can scream loud enough, they'll probably hear us!" I let go of Lucas and let him lean onto a wall while I run to the window and try to look out without being cut by the broken edges.

"Hello! In here!" I scream as I watch the fire fighters working together to try to stop this wild fire. But it was all too loud. I start jumping and screaming like a person who's lost their mind.

But could you blame me? I'm about to be good as burnt toast!

I take off my heels and wave them around. Nup...still not working. Well I guess I'll have to do it hard and painful way.

I close one eye and aim at my target. Okay. one....two...three! I threw my heel and it managed to hit one of the fire fighters straight in the head.

Well damn...I guess we won't be the only ones in hospital then...

I start coughing again. This smoke should be ashamed of itself for doing such harm to my lungs!!

The fire fighter looks to where the heel came from with anger in his face. Once he sees me jumping like a lunatic, his eyes widen as he warns the rest.

Thank god!

I run back to Lucas and he puts his arm on my shoulders again. Pretty soon the doors are being smashed open and the water hose washes away any fire close by. They help us out and just as we got out into the sorta fresh air, the ambulance arrives.

"Demi...I can't..." Lucas starts and his eyes begin to close.

I too feel myself losing consciousness. The smell of the fire and smoke was too strong, that not only did it affect my lungs and my breathing, but also my head. I felt dizzy, light headed and everything was spinning. I felt Lucas go limp beside me and I soon joined him.

Who knew the bad ass and the bad boy would fall unconscious together....?

Yet who knew the bad ass would save the bad boys ass!?
