7:30, Mays House
It was a beautiful night, the stars were shining brightly, the moon glowing softly, the night sky clear and the colour of a deep velvet blue.
A perfect night for a date with the perfect guy! May was putting her hair up as she got ready for her date with Drew. She had long awaited this and was so happy she was about to burst with happiness. Putting the last touches to her hair, she stepped back to look at her reflection. She was dressed in a beautiful red sleeveless dress which fitted her like a glove. Her sapphire eyes were sparkling and her hair was held up loosely with her bangs curled and hanging down. She looked absolutely stunning. She smiled at herself, picked up her handbag, and walked out of the door. Hailing a taxi she stepped in.
7:30 Drews House
Drew pulled on his jacket and stepped back to admire himself. His green hair was soft and his green eyes showed excitement that made them shine fiercely. He was wearing jeans and a white shirt with the collar up underneath his dark blue jacket. Overall, he looked incredibly hot. He smirked and flipped his hair, sliding his phone and keys into his pockets as he walked out of the door. He unlocked his Audi's car door and slid in, driving to the restaurant.
7:45,
Brendan was just coming home from an errand when he suddenly saw smoke curling up over the rooftops over the street he lived on. Curious to see and help whose house was on fire, he rushed over, only to find wreathed in burning red and flaming orange, his house on fire. He was glad to see Cassandra and Kay standing safe outside the house, but when hearing from them that uncle Toby had not ran out with them, his eyes showed immense distress. Ignoring the firemen and his friends telling him to stay away, he ran into the house, coughing from the smoke, eyes watering as he desperately searched for uncle Toby.
A flaming beam suddenly crashed down, blocking his path but he didn't care, he had to find Uncle Toby! The only family he had apart from Kay and Cassandra, the person who had taken him in all those years ago. Sweat was dripping from his face, mixing with the tears that were spilling over from his soft brown eyes filled with fear. Suddenly, he heard Uncle Toby calling his name weakly from a corner of the room. He had collapsed and was coughing weakly, barely able to remain conscious. Brendan ran to help him get up, calling his name over and over again, and when he failed to be able to walk on shaky legs, Brendan carried him on his back, ignoring the heat and the pain from the burns. He ran outside, legs collapsing under him, sobs racking his body. The shock and fear all of a sudden getting to him. As the ambulance people carried uncle Toby away, he shakily took out his phone, dialling the only number he could think of…

8:00
May was sitting in a taxi when her phone started ringing, puzzled to see the caller was Brendan, she pressed on the green telephone button.
" May!" Brendan's voice sounded hoarse and filled with shock. May frowned, what had happened? " Brendan, is that you? What happened?" "Oh May, the house caught on fire, uncle Toby was trapped, I went to try and help him but now he is in hospital and he is unconscious. The fire has only just been put out and mostly everything is burned!" Brendan spoke with sobs sometimes breaking through, and by the end he was gasping for breath. May gasped in shock and horror. How could something like that happen? She had to go and see him. " Where are you Brendan?" " Waterfapple hospital." " I'll meet you there." She said grimly. Drew could wait, her friend needed her. As she told the taxi driver where to go, she sat back anxiously in to her seat, forgetting one thing -- to call Drew.
8:00
Drew sat down at a table. This was his favourite restaurant and he knew all the staff. A waiter named Ollie came grinning up to him. " Hey Drew! What are you doing here? Waiting for some pretty girl?" He laughed jokingly as Drew only ever came alone to this restaurant. He was surprised when Drew answered: " You know, for once you are right!" Drews voice was filled with passion and Ollie nodded understandingly, " Oh, I see, it's one of those really serious ones eh? Need me to bring you some wine?" He looked at Drew but Drew merely shook his head, his eyes were glazed over, and he wasn't really paying attention. Ollie chuckled at the sight of Drew and walked away, Looks like Drews in love! Grinning silently to himself, Ollie silently wished Drew luck.
8:20, Waterfapple hospital
May rushed in to the hospital, only to see a very depressed Brendan standing by the front desk. He was shouting and the receptionist was shouting back. As May got closer, the shouts became clear.
" I have to see him!" Brendan was waving his arms about trying to express himself. The receptionist however, was not moved and didn't even flinch. With her eyes nearly popping out of her head, she started to scream back, " I have said before that Mr. Birch is in the intensitive care unit, and the doctors haven't decided if he is free from any danger, they don't even know if he can be conscious again or not. Now go and sit down in the waiting area!"
Brendan was about to shout something back when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. Looking back he saw May, dressed up definitely not for just casual walking. He gasped as he saw this, and hastily gabbled out: " Are you missing anything important? Because you seem dressed up for…" He was quickly cut off as May gazed at him through her sapphire eyes. " Look, it doesn't matter about that right now." Her heart was actually burning from the thought of Drew being hurt and angry with her. She forced herself to stop thinking about it. " Brendan, are you ok? Did you get burnt?" She was blurting out the words, trying to shut out all thoughts of Drew. Brendan saw this and his eyes softened, " Look, May, you shouldn't be here, you should be with…" " Drew." Her voice was filled with such passion when she said his name that Brendan would kill Drew just for May to say his name like that. " Look May, you should go and see…Drew right now!" It was such a hard sentence to say, but May seemed to not have heard it. " Brendan…" Her voice was soft and filled with care, care for a friend, and a friend only. " Let it all out Brendan!" " May you have got to go!" Brendan's voice stayed strong while the barrier stopping his tears slowly melted. " You have to go!" He fought against her but in the end all he could do was sit there weeping with her next to him. He sat leaning on her shoulder, weeping and letting it all out.
8:20 The restaurant
Drew checked his watch, this was late, even for May. Where was she? He had tried to phone her but her phone was switched off. Ollie came over, this time no longer grinning, but with a worried frown. " Hey man, you ok? You still going to be waiting here?" Drew sighed, spinning the wine in his glass around before drinking it. " I guess so, yeah." And Ollie left him there, looking back countless times, all of them in which Drew was gazing into space.
10:00 Waterfapple hospital,
When Brendan had let it all out, he did feel much better. Meanwhile, May was worried as she hadn't called Drew. The worry showed on her face and Brendan suddenly remembered that se had a date, so despite the pain in his heart, he offered to take her to the restaurant.
" Hold on tight May!" May nodded and held on tighter. Then Brendan revved up the engine and his motorbike roared off into the night.
Please, please let Drew still be waiting. May prayed.
10:00
Drew sat alone at the table. No one else was in the restaurant now. Ollie came over, he looked at the empty seat and the empty wine bottle, " Hey man, we have to close now, and sorry your girl didn't show up." Drew nodded and got up, his heart felt like it had been stabbed with an icicle. He felt numb, numb from all feelings.
10: 09
Drew pulled his car out of the parking lot and drove slowly down the road, on the way passing a motorbike. But he didn't really care. His heart was burning with pain, he wanted to cry, to let it out, but he didn't.
10:10
Brendan and May arrived at the restaurant. They had passed an Audi on the way, but didn't stop as they had to get here fast. Brendan stood next to his motorbike.
I should be going now, but I want to see her smile of happiness when she sees the guy. He smiled sadly and watched as May ran up the steps, knocking on the door. Ollie came to the door, he looked at the girl in front of him and said apologetically, " Sorry, but we closed at 10."
May looked disappointed but she tried again, " Was there a guy here? Tall, really handsome, and green hair?" Ollie thought about it, could this be the girl that Drew was waiting for? He looked at May carefully. She was quite pretty, but would Drew like someone like her? He decided to ask her, " Could this person be called Drew?" May nodded frantically, " Have you seen him?" She suddenly had hope that Drew might still be here. Ollie smiled sadly at the girl, " He was waiting here all night, but you didn't show up, he just left, 'bout 10 minutes ago, he was really sad when he left. Is that all? Because I really need to clean up and lock up…" He indicated the restaurant, May nodded, " Oh, ok then, thank you." A tear dripped on to the floor, her voice barely above a whisper. Ollie felt really guilty and put his hand on her shoulder, " Hey, don't feel so sad, call him, explain, I am sure he will understand whatever you did…" He looked at May, and May sighed, her sapphire eyes dim with disappointment. "Thank you! Good bye!"
Brendan was confused when he saw May come back with tears running down her face. " Hey, hey hey, come here! What happened?" He brought her safely into his arms, holding her tight. " He isn't there…" That was the only thing she managed to whisper out. Brendan hugged her holding her tight.
Meanwhile, Drew remembered he had left his jacket at the restaurant. He drove back, on the way passing a young couple hugging… He suddenly put on the brakes and reversed, it was May and a guy hugging. He opened the car door and not listening to her explanations, started to shout at her. " May, how could you? I waited the whole night here, and here you are hugging a different guy!" His eyes were burning and shock and pain shone in them, he grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her, " May, how could you! How could you!" This could have been all the wine he had been drinking but Brendan didn't know that, he pushed Drew away from May.
May ran away with tears shining like pearls running down her face in rivulets, Brendan punched Drew in the face, " Listen, you stupid person! Listen! May spent the night comforting a friend whose house was burnt down, what is wrong about that?" Drew gaped at him, shocked, " Her friends house was burnt down?" " Yes, my house you idiot!" Brendan glared at him, challenging him to object. Drew now looked really guilty, he seemed to have woken up as Brendan had punched him. " Now go you idiot, go and chase after her!" Brendan gave him a push and Drew stumbled, before running as fast as he could chasing after May.
May ran until she could run no more. The tears wouldn't stop, with her hair hung over her eyes, no one could see the sadness of those once shining sapphire eyes. He sat down on the road, when she suddenly felt someone's arms wrapped around her. She didn't need to turn around to know it was Drew. He nuzzled his head into her soft hair, saying in a low whisper: " May, I am sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" may shook him off, she still had her back turned to him, he turned her around but she refused to make eye contact. Hair hanging in front of her eyes, tears streaming down. Drew lifted up her chin, looking into her dim sapphire eyes, he felt guilt wash over him, he didn't deserve May, she didn't deserve him, he hugged her and whispered, " I am sorry May…" and ran blindly down the street, back to his car, where he drove it with tears still streaming down his face.
