Sacrifices

Stuart looked out the window and saw several police cars driving down the street. He looked back when Sam began to moan in pain. "Will you shut her up?" He snapped.

"Is she annoying you? Serves you right for drugging her... I think she has overdosed." Said Phil.

"So, she's not my problem anymore." He went back into the kitchen and began pouring several alcohol drinks all over the floor.

"What are you doing?" Phil asked.

"I didn't have time to get petrol so I have to use these instead." Stuart said.

"You're gonna set the house on fire?!"

"Got it one." Once again Sam became hysterical.

"NO!" She cried. Phil tried to calm her down before turning back to Stuart.

"Please let her go... None of this is her fault."

"She slept with you thats all she had to do."

"But I made the first move, she didn't know what she was doing... Please, you don't want her to die."

Stuart had to think for a while but finally said: "Ok, I'll let her go but you ring Jack to tell him she's coming out and to back away from the door." Stuart demanded

"Of course." Phil agreed instantly picking up the phone and dialling Jack's number.

Outside the house everyone was becoming worried and began to argue. They stopped when's Sam's home number flashed on Jack's mobile screen. "Hello." He said.

"Jack, Sam's coming out, Stuart wants everyone to back away." Phil's voice replied before hanging up.

"Ok, everyone Sam's coming out, everyone stay back."

Back inside Sam was begging Phil not to take her outside, if he was going to die, she wanted to die with him. "It's gonna be ok I promise, I love you." Phil whispered before kissing her head.

"I love you too." Sam murmured. Phil lifted Sam to her feet but as he did he felt cold steel against his neck.

"I don't want you running out too now." Said Stuart. Sam began sobbing again. Phil supported her over to the door before unlocking it and opening it. Phil pushed her out before the door closed.

Sam stumbled down the path before reaching Gina and collapsing in her arms. "We gotta get Phil out... Stuart's gonna kill him!" She breathed.

"It's ok, we'll save him." Gina soothed before taking Sam over to the paramedics.

Phil was tied up again as Stuart dragged him back into the living room. "What now?" Phil asked. Stuart took a lighter out of his pocket. "The end now." Stuart replied as he dropped the lighter and flames began to surround him. Phil made a dash out of the living room. But as the flames were quickly spreading around, would he make it out alive?
