Alec rushed towards the building. Plums of smoke were coming from the tall apartment building. Alec was panicking more than he ever had before. Right then, Alec saw him. Magnus. Lying on the concrete right outside the door of the burning building. His arm was sprawled limply on the sidewalk. He had bloody cuts and bruises all over his body. Magnus was unconscious and his breathing was shallow.
Alec sprinted to his boyfriend and picked him up.
"Help! Someone help!" he shouted, hoping for an ambulance to show up. Thirty seconds later Alec couldn't wait anymore and ran to the nearest hospital, pushing the door open with his back and shouting for help. A nurse came in and asked what had happened.
"I don't know. Magnus was in the building when it started burning and called me to help him. Please. You have to save him."
The nurse simply nodded and shouted for a stretcher and the doctor. When they both came, Alec laid Magnus down on the stretcher and went with the doctor and nurse to a room. When they got in, Magnus started having a seizure and after he stabilized him, flat-lined.
Alec stood limply by as the doctor got the defibrillators and began charging them. After three times of shocking Magnus' chest, the doctor asked for the time. Alec could feel his fists tighten. There was no way Magnus was dead! No way!
"5:30 p.m.," the nurse replied numbly.
"Time of death 5:30 p.m." Alec didn't even feel himself throw the doctor across the room into the door. The nurse just backed away with her hands up in surrender. Alec laid his hands and head on Magnus' chest.
No heartbeat. Magnus was really dead. Alec burst into tears.
