How to Save a Life: Part 2
Sian still sat with her back against the wall, and her knees squeezed tight into her chest, gently rocked back and forwards. it had only been a couple of minutes sinces sophies pronounced death and sian hadnt moved, done or said anything at all. drunk with fatigue and sadness, the blond lifted her head up and stared at the body. after a while she moved her gaze to the machines, the loose cords no longer attached to sophie, were just dangling there.
"this is all my fault" sian cried into her knees as she thought about the moment when she spotted her. "i couldnt save her! i cant save anyone!!" sian cried in hysterics as her mind drifted to previous events, where the ones that she saved died in hospital...just like sophie did.
"sophie, you can't leave me! please!...you were the only reason why i woke up in the mornings, why i stayed in weatherfield, why i cried..because i always thought about you, y, your the reason i changed, your the reason why i tried to start a new life but failed miserably, your the reason why..." sian choked on her tears as she slowly lifted her head up gazing at sophie. "your the reason why...i ever fell in love..." sian said quietly as more tears cascaded down her cheeks, that were just as soaked as a sponge.
"how did you get there sophie?! what happened?! why were you there!?" sian cried out hitting her elbow back against the wall, her body and everything, filling with sadness, anger and loss all together.
"yes mum i know its hot outside...yes i put sunscream on...ugghh mum....yes i'll be home for dinner....ok bye". i hung up, shaking my head as i stuffed my phone into my denim shorts pocket and continue making my way to the park as i air myself with my hand, feeling the heat all over my skin. jesus its flamin' hot! i state as i reach the park that was surprisingly full of people.
there were a few buff lads playing soccer with their shirts off, showing off their meaty abs and bulky biceps as they flexed here and there. i rolled my eyes with a slight smirk as i continue strolling through the park. as i look around i feeling something hit my feet. i frown my brows as i look down to see a soccerball. looking up i smile as i see a young girl around about 8 or 9 smile nervously at me as she took small steps towards the ball at my feet.
i smiled at her as i gently kicked the ball towards her way. she smiled as she bent down and picked the ball up. thank you i heard her say with a smile as she skipped back over to a young woman and man who i presumed to be her parents as they sat peacefully under a tree on their rug, while having a few snacks.
i smiled genuinely happy at the site as the young man lifred his daughter and placed her on his lap, kissing her gently on the nose. the woman smiled as she kissed him on the nose and then her daughter. they all smiled and laughed as i grinned and started walking again, thinking about sian and how we should have been..or would have been in that position by now.
as i continued my stroll i saw another young lady around about my age sketching. she had wavy brown hair kind of like mine and was just peacefully enjoying the weather and view by the looks of it. i saw her cough multiple times and then watched as she reached into her bag and got her asthma pump out, shaking it before taking the ventolin twice. must me the pollen in the air i thought as i switched my gaze to a few young bikers, looking around 16 or 17 riding their motorcycles.
as they came zooming past i couldnt help but notice that there was something leaking from both their bikes. they must now of realised as they went faster, increasing the pace of the fluid coming out. i didnt think of what else it could have been besides fuel. my eyes widened, fuel! effing idiots! i thought horrified as i was about to yell out to them but they sped off. i frowned as i looked around me and everyone was still having fun, and enjoying their time.
i walked my way over to my own bench under a massive tree which was mine and sians bench. our base, our problem solver, and our peace place. its where we came whenever something was up, when we had fights we'd always arrange to meet here becuase eerything would get solved and by the end we would be good again.
i sit down gently as i let out a long breath. i look around one more time at all the smiles on peoples faces and them all grinning. i wish sian was here, i wish it was me and her sitting on a rug, feeding each other strawberries and sharing our love with one another. it was all my fault though, we could have had it all but stupid, idiotic, selfish me ruined it all! ruined the forever! i close my eyes as i pinch the bridge of my nose.
i have sat here for the last 2 hours just thining about my life now and what it could have been. how me and sian might of or actually 99% would of had children and how different our lives, decisions and options would have changed or been different. i miss her, even though i see her at least 3 times a month, i never actually speak to her or make any contact with her at all. i sigh as i look at the time on my watch. 7pm in read and i needed to get home for dinner in a few.
my life for the past 6 years has just been so incomplete without sian that its not even worth living for. "i wish i could die right now" i say quietly, a few seconds later i hear a screeching noise coming from down the road, before i can register anything a ute on fire comes tumbling into the park. screaming eruptures through my ear as the grass quickly sets a light sending everyone in panic.
i jump up from the bench, my mind not registering with my body as i see people running and the flames already sparking onto the trees. in one swift movement i bolt, as im running i see the woman who was sketching start to choke on the deeloping smoke. i place my arm over my nose as i race over to her lifting her up. i carry her as far as possible and place her down away from the fires, saving my self and her. a few of the men come and collect her as im about to take a step with them a large tree branch on fire creates an obstacle in my path.
panicking i turn around and gasp as all i can see now is the whole park on fire, now also surrounding me. i take a few steps back with tears already streaming down my cheeks. i feel my back it a tree as i look around. the fire was surrounding me and was coming closer at every second. the smoke started to get thicker and darker as i pushed myself up against the tree.
"HELP!!" i called out as i heard the crackling sound of wood breaking. "HELP PLEASE!!" i screamed as i squinted my eyes i saw a person with the black and fluroscent yellow jacket about 50 metres away. they looked like they were just staring at me. i screamed as the heat of the blaze drove closer, i looked towards the figure as i saw them charging at me but by them i had already felt my legs give way and the ground colliding with my face. that was it.....i was gone.
please comment!!!! one more part after this!!!
