A/N- Iggy: Don't you dare say that bad pun you thought up for this chapter.
Me: Fine.
I'll be Your Rock Chapter 7
Iggy POV
"So I put this wire here?" Ella asked me. We were in our room making some bombs. Why you may ask. It involves a flashback to when Fang called me two weeks ago. The phone rang just as I had finished dinner and put it on the table.
"Room 235, Iggy speaking."
"Hey, Ig, I'm going to need some help with something." By the voice I knew it was Fang.
"What do you need? Cooking tips, good traveling destinations, a sense of humor?"
"Ig, this is serious." Serious Fang is serious.
"Okay, what do you really need?"
"Help breaking into the School." I almost dropped the phone when he said that.
"Why?" I asked incredulously.
"Because I think there's information on my parents there. Max and I found blueprints and a video of a secret sublevel under the School." I only had to think about it for a second.
"Okay, I'm in."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I've followed you and Max when you've had less information than this. Besides, I can dust off my bomb making skills."
"Okay then. I will call you later when we iron out the details. We want to do it during summer break for the kids so we can all go."
"Got it. Hear you later."
"You too. Later." End flashback. So that's why we we're making bombs. Or at least trying. When I told Ella what was going on she said she wanted to help. We had been practicing for the last couple weeks so when she started making the real ones she wouldn't blow us up. This was the first live one we were working on.
"Careful, but yes that's where it goes. Now you just set the timer and you're set. Just don't do it now."
"I think that's kinda obvious." Ella said.
"Better safe than sorry." Ella giggled when I said that. "What?"
"Never thought you would say that."
"Well it's true. This is serious stuff and I don't want you to get hurt." Ella hugged me.
"You're so sweet."
"I try. Now, since I'm not a master planner like Max, I have to go to the store and get some supplies."
"Okay, but hurry back I heard it's going to rain."
Ella POV
About an hour after he had left Iggy called me on his cell phone.
"Room 235, Ella speaking."
"Hey, it's me. I just left the store and should be back in about ten minutes. Oh, and you were right, it's raining. Good thing my wings are waterproof."
"Yeah." I could hear thunder in the background.
"Well, be back soagggghhh!" Iggy yelled.
"Iggy? IGGY!" I had no idea what had happened. I reacted quickly. I ran to my car and drove out too where Iggy should be. We had GPS on our phones so I knew where he was. When I found him he was face down in the ground with his hair frayed and a bit burnt. He must have been hit by lightning. I flipped him over and checked his pulse. It was still going but it was weak and he wasn't breathing. I started doing CPR. "Come on, you better start breathing!" I yelled. I put my mouth on his and started breathing into his mouth. Then I started pumping his chest. It wasn't working. "I'm not going to lose you too!" I said starting to cry. The thought of Iggy dying. I couldn't think about it so I started trying harder. I put my mouth back on his and breathed out and suddenly he gasped for air. He blinked a few times.
"Ughhh, wha happened." He slurred.
"You got hit by lightning."
"Oh, so that's why I feel all tingly." I tilted his head and moved it so it was on my lap.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again." I said regaining some composure.
"I won't. I promise. Can we go to the hospital now?" He starting laughing. "Me wanting to go to a hospital, how ironic can it get?" When we got to the hospital I called Max.
"What's up Ella?" She asked.
"Iggy got hit by lightning. You might want to come to the hospital."
"We'll be there as fast as we can."
Iggy POV
I kinda blacked out again in the car. The next thing I remembered was lying in a hospital bed.
"Look he's awake." I heard Max say.
"When did you get here Max?" I asked drowsily.
"Ella called me. Fang's here too."
"I'm kinda still confused on what happened. Why am I in the hospital?"
"You got hit by lightning on the way home from the store." Ella said. It sounded like she was sitting right next to me and that she was worried. I rolled around to face her.
"What else happened?" Silence. Then the doctor came in.
"Good, you're awake. Man are you lucky, whoever gave you CPR saved your life." Then it hit me.
"It was you, wasn't it Ella?"
"Yes." Ella answered. Since I didn't feel good enough to get up I put her hand in mine and smiled at her. Then I looked at the doctor.
"Am I going to be okay?" I asked.
"In a few days you should be fine."
"And you're going to need a haircut." Fang said. We all laughed at that. The doctor got an urgent page and left the room. Max spoke up then.
"Do you think you'll be able to come with us to the School next week?"
"I should be fine."
"I'm coming too." Ella said. I have a feeling Max didn't like that idea.
"Ella I really don't think-" Max started. I think Ella was death glaring her. Max changed her tone. "Fine, but only if it's okay with Iggy." I figured everyone was staring at me.
"Can you two leave us alone for a minute?" I asked Max and Fang. They said yes and left the room. I sat up and turned back towards Ella. "Why to do you want to come with us? I asked.
"Well, I could be an extra pair of eyes for you guys and I might be able to-" I cut her off with a 'That's bull and you know it.' look. "Okay, fine. I just don't want to be alone. And now because of this I'll just worry about you the whole time."
"But what if something happens to you while we're there?"
"Then I have you." Ella answered bluntly. It's hard to disagree with that.
A/N- Me: Now that I think about it, the pun would have been in bad taste.
Iggy: Probably, and I appreciate that throughout this timeline you've had Ella and I in the same amount of life threatening situations.
Me: Thanks, I guess. 33 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
