The space between us

"Help, I can't breathe. Please help me" Kamryn screams from the other side of the door and I can't help the feeling of my heart break hearing her sound so scared and helpless.

Helpless and scared is how I feel too.

"Go get help" I say to Luca who looks hesitant for a moment before running to get help.

"Theo I'm scared" she says in a soft voice and I can't stop the tears that escape my eyes imagining the helpless look on her face.

"I know baby,I'll get you out. I promise" I say reassuringly.

Promise.

The simple word holding so much meaning and truth but we all know promises are always meant to be broken.

I run out of the building making sure to mind the fire and make my way outside. I see Luca trying to get the teachers attention but she just shrugs him off.

I ran towards them and without thinking pull the keys from her hands and run back towards the door, but as I reach the stairs the whole building blows up and I'm thrown back from the impact.
