"The other tower collapsed!" yelled Leia. "When will the firemen get here and get us out because I'm afraid our building will collapse, too!
Another man on her floor was also worried that they wouldn't be rescued, which was causing an inner conflict and after fighting with himself for a few minutes, he finally decided what he was going to do. He slowly walked to the shattered window. As he went, he caught the attention of Leia, who was watching his every move. She figured out what he was doing only seconds before he did it.
"Don't!" she yelled. She was too late. He outstretched his arms and fell backwards out the window and fell to the pavement 84 stories below them with a horrific smack.
Leia began to sob very hard in sadness.
"This man, he just jumped out the window!" she exclaimed in between sobs. "There are lots of people just jumping out of the windows in the building!"
That's when she heard the banging. She walked over to the doors, and what she heard made her exhale in relief. Firemen were trying to break down the door with their crowbar! After several attempts, the door finally broke down and a squad of firefighters entered the room.
"We heard there were survivors on this floor. We're here to help get you out, and then we'll go up and rescue more people." One of them said. All of the other survivors quickly left the room and started the trek down the stairs, Leia only a few floors behind them, since she waited until all of the survivors had left. One of the firemen was sent down to make sure they got out safely. The rest kept going up, and Leia had a bad feeling that they weren't going to make it.
Authors note: Ok here's the deal. I'm not going to be posting any more chapters of my other fic until this story and the other fic that I'm going to write are done.
