Thanks for all your reviews they really make me want to write on.
All three of there ears were ringing from the blast.
Sian was now lying over Sophie where she'd flung herself to protect her. Covering Sophie's head with her body she had her hands above her head to cover her own.
Rosie having reacted slower than Sian copied her position by putting her hands up over her head and ducking behind what was now Sian on Sophie.
They all simultaneously felt the force of the blast as it reached them and then the heat which completely contrasted the cold weather. As quickly as the heat washed over them it seemed to be sucked back out of the air though not quiet as cold as it had been.
As Sian pushed herself up she looked down at Sophie who was lying completely still with her eyes shut.
"Sophie," She said barely able to hear herself from the ringing in her ears.
She was unsure if Sophie not replying meant there was something wrong or if her ears were also ringing. So reaching out she ran her hand through the long brown hair looking for a reaction.
Sophie's eyes shot open only to see Sian leaning over her with her hand stretched out to her.
"Hey," Sian said smiling down at her as the ringing started to die down.
Smiling back Sophie didn't even no what she was smiling at but it seemed infection. Her smile faltered when Sian pulled her hand back from her hair and sat up but soon returned.
"Hey," She said quietly.
"Hey!" They both looked round as Rosie sat up and was staring at them with a look of confusion on her face. She went to continue but Sophie butted in.
"What?" Sophie snapped at her sister before she could stop herself.
"I think I should be asking you that," She replied raising her eyebrows before shaking her head. "Is it just me or can you see flashing lights?"
Rosie lifted her hand pointing behind Sian who immediately turned as Sophie also tipped her head to that side to see. And she was right at the other side of the tanker which was still up in flames there were flashing lights though from what they couldn't tell.
"Yeah I see them," it was Sophie who answered.
"I'll go see and get someone," Sian said.
As she attempted to stand up however a hand grabbed hers holding her down.
"You won't be able to get past the fire yet, Please stay." Sophie said as Sian turned back to look at her.
Sian glanced from Sophie to the lorry on fire several times before she fully sat back down, twisting her hand in Sophie's so she could hold hers.
"Just till the fire is out," She stated watching as a small smile appeared on Sophie's lips.
"I hope they don't take long I could really use a drink."
"Rosie!" Sophie said in an appalled voice turning to look at her sister.
"What? I meant tea," Rosie lied.
"Yeah right," She muttered under her breath causing Sian to laugh.
"What?" Sophie asked narrowing her eyes at her.
"Nothing," Sian said looking down at there hands to avoid eye contact.
"Well then why were you laughing?" She asked with an annoyed tone.
"Cause," Sian answered back.
"Cause why?" Sophie asked a small smile creeping it's way across her lip.
"Cause I felt like it," Sian tried to keep her voice serious but failed miserably.
"For Gods sake quit acting like a pair of bloody 5 year olds," Rosie but in.
"Look who's talking," Sophie answered back before whispering to Sian "and what made you feel like it?"
Sian looked up as she heard her whisper showing off the smile that sat on her lips.
"Tell you later," She answered.
"Tell us what later?" Rosie asked having not heard what Sophie said.
"Nothing," Sophie answered.
"Well it must be something," Rosie said turning her gaze on Sian.
She opened her mouth to answer but never got the chance.
"What makes you think you'll see me later?" Sophie asked ignoring Rosie.
"Well you'll be in a hospital bed where you going to run to," Sian answered.
They looked at each other for minute Sophie's thumb tracing small circles on the back of Sian's hand. Causing a tingling sensation for both of them where there skin met.
"Ok I am officially confused wh…"
"Your always confused Rosie," Sophie butt in earning a giggle from Sian.
"Don't encourage her," Rosie said looking between them and shaking her head.
"Sorry," Sian lowered her head.
"Don't be," it was Sophie who answered "she's just cranky cau…"
"Shut up Soph your just being…" Rosie trailed off her eyes focussed behind them.
Sophie and Sian both turned there heads simultaneously to see the fire was completely out and a fire fighter was walking round this side of the tanker.
"Come lets go," Rosie said getting to her feet.
Standing up Sian once again pulled Sophie up into her arms. Sophie got a bit of a fright when she done this but quickly wrapped her arms round Sian's neck to hold on as they she started to walk.
"You know now I'm conscious you really didn't have to carry me," Sophie said.
"Oh," Sian looked at Sophie "sorry I didn't think do you want to walk?" She asked stopping.
"Not really," Sophie laughed "but you legs hurt so I should pro…"
"Nah it's fine," Sian cut her off heading towards the gap at the front of the tanker just behind Rosie.
"Are you sure cause I don't want to be responsible for making it worse," She said concerned though she couldn't deny she rather enjoyed being carried by Sian.
"It's we're nearly there anyways look, couple of minutes an you'll be on your way to hospital in the back of an ambulance," Sian replied as the got round to the other side of the lorry.
"Will you come with us?" Sophie asked with a quiet voice as though she was embarrassed at asking.
"I would," Sophie's face sunk at the first two words "but I need to get my bike and that fixed."
"But you can't ride it with your leg like that," Sophie stated as though she though Sian were mad.
"I don't think It'll be rideable it was closer than us to the blast," Sian replied sadness washing over her as she thought of the state the bike may be lying in.
"So then why won't you come with us?" Sophie asked again in the same quiet tone.
They were now stopped next to an ambulance while Rosie walked round it looking for a paramedic.
"I'll phone me dad to come pick it up and he can give me a run to the hospital there's enough folk here for the paramedics to deal with," She said just as one appeared round the side with Rosie stopping any further argument from Sophie.
The paramedic opened the back doors and climbed in turning he reached out for Sian to pass Sophie to him.
"I'll take her from here," he said waiting with outstretched arms.
Sophie gave the paramedic one look before tapping Sian to let her down who quickly got the message and lowered her to the ground.
"Soph if you can walk why…" Rosie was cut off as Sophie held up a hand to shut her up.
Reaching out she let the paramedic help her into the van whispering to him as she passed so neither Sian nor Rosie could hear.
"The blondes going to try and leave she has a cut on her leg you should try convincing her to come," She said it quickly but he nodded to her in response.
"Just hop up here," he said tapping the bed "Your friend…"
"Sister," Rosie butts in.
"Your sister told me you were unconscious for a while so best you lie down." He finished.
He turned and helped Rosie up into the back indicating for her to sit on the seat next to Sophie's head. When he turned back he noticed the blonde had already turned to leave.
"Excuse me but aren't you getting in?" He asked politely.
"No I'm fine just going to phone and get picked up," she answered.
"You'll save whoever your going to phone the petrol of coming all the way out her just to go to the hospital by coming with us," He said trying to convince her.
"I really thi…"
"And that cut looks like it really hurts." He added extending a hand out to help her in.
When she looked up she could see both Rosie and Sophie staring at her along with the paramedic. Sophie was pulling her best puppy dog eyes and mouthed the word 'please' when there eyes met.
Sighing Sian gave up taking hold of his hand and stepping into the ambulance so he could shut the doors behind him. She sat down next to Rosie but was looking across at Sophie.
The paramedic moved about them putting straps over Sophie to hold her in. Sian and Rosie both pulled there seatbelts on as he climbed into the front passenger seat his partner starting to drive.
They sat in silence for a while Sian staring at her feet, Sophie staring at Sian and Rosie glancing between them as though expect one to suddenly disappear.
"This silence is killing me you never shut up out there what's wrong now?" She asked with a frustrated tone.
Sophie just shrugged and Sian glanced up for a second before dropping her gaze again.
"Jeez," Rosie let out " Well if you won't talk I will. So Sian what age are you?" Rosie asked casually.
"16, just about 17," she answered looking up at Rosie.
"So then why were you on a bike?" Sophie asked butting in.
"Cause it's just one of those ones with the hair drier engines," Sian replied turning to Sophie.
"Oh that makes sense I suppose," was all Sophie could say.
"So when's you birthday?" Rosie piped up pulling Sian's attention from Sophie.
"28th of this month," Sian answered.
"Sophie just turned 16 last month," Rosie stated rather randomly.
Sian just nodded watching as Sophie did the opposite shaking hers at her sister.
After that there was a couple of minutes silence before the ambulance stopped and the back doors were flung open.
It all happened so quickly paramedic shouting to the doctors or nurses. They never got the chance to speak anther word before Sophie was wheeled out Rosie following after. And before she could object Sian was put in a wheel chair and taken inside.
