Brad strolled out to his car, a huge grin on his face. Sally made him happy and they had finally kissed after weeks of longing for it. Okay, maybe she wasn't as special as Emily, but as Emily was dead Sally was definetely the next best choice. And he would never stop loving Em, and Emily knew that but that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy the rest of his life. Suddenly, Brad's heart started thumping faster than ever before. Across the parking lot lay Sally. He ran the fastest he had ever run. When he got to her side he cradled her head in his arms.
"Sally…" he breathed.
"Please don't be dead!"
Brad grabbed Sally's mobile and dialled an ambulance.
"Can I please have an ambulance to Summer Bay High? Someone has been stabbed!" he yelled, then hung up.
He felt for a pulse but couldn't find one. He started doing compressions, one, two, three, then mouth-to-mouth, one, two, three, mouth-to-mouth.
Slowly a bit of colour returned to Sally's skin. He felt for a pulse again. It was very faint.
He took of his jacket and wrapped in around the wound.
He did a few more compressions.
"Come on Sal, you can do it." he shouted, tears rolling down his cheeks.
Sally opened her eyes a few millimetres.
"Brad….look after Pip for me. Tell Cass and Ric I love them." she groaned.
"Sally, don't give up. You can tell them for yourself. The ambulance is on the way. Just keep breathing deeply, okay Sal? You've made it this far just keep it up." Brad instructed, stroking her hair.
"It hurts so much Brad! If I just give up now I can go see Flynn." Sally murmured.
"Sally you'll see Flynn one day. You have a baby to think about at the moment, Sal! And Cass and Ric! And me as well, remember what just happened under the mistletoe?" he asked kindly.
"Of course I remember. I just don't think I can do it though. I don't want to hurt Flynn and Em." She reminded.
"They told us to move on, remember?"
The ambulance skidded up.
Paramedics helped Sally into the ambulance.
