When it hit everything began to shake, screams could be heard even from outside the twin towers, fires could be seen from a far distance away and all you knew was to get out of there as the smoke began cloud your view.

You were lucky, you had been on the lower floors and you were able to get out. Well, you could've if something hadn't stopped you.

You remembered your best friend being on the floor above you and as much as a dumb and riskful idea this was, you were willing to take it so that you could save your friend. As long as they were safe you could feel okay. So you began to go up to the level above you coughing harshly, your head pounding due to over whelming sounds and the smoke invading every part of you're being.

As you reached the level your dear friend was on you could see the blond hair and blue eyed man rushing around hurriedly.

"ALFRED!" You called out to him in distress not wanting to lose your precious friend.

He whipped his head toward his usually happy bright blue eyes now filled with desperation, sadness, and anger, and they bore in to yours scorning you for coming for him. He rushed over to you and held you close. You wrapped your arms around him in return ignoring the heat that threatened to take over and lead you to your death. "Why... Why did you come? The hero is supposed to come for the damsel in distress not the other away around..." His voice has a bit hoarse and filled with worry and despair.

You chuckled darkly, "Don't I always break the rules in that case?" It was true, except for s few occassions you had always managed to come to his rescue when he really needed you. Despite the fact he never asked for you to help you had always some how knew that he needed you.

He looked at you tears streaming down his red face. You were going to say something but he picked you up and started racing for an exit downwards.

You squeaked a bit but quickly wrapped your arms around his neck so that you wouldn't fall. "What are you doing?! You could die even faster if you do this!"

"I will save you... No matter what it takes!" His voice was now filled with determination and you felt for a split second that maybe he really could save you.

You just stared at him his face now determined and you closed your eyes and clung to him ignoring the wretched flames around the two of you.

Alfred made his way down the stairs holding you as close and tightly as possible without causing harm. He was at least to the last level till he could get both of you out when he tripped and you were sent flying out of his arms. You hit the ground with a harsh thud and you could feel your body now aching with pain. You looked and saw Alfred getting back up, or at least trying since he had broken his leg when he had fallen in an odd position.

You started towards him but he yelled for you to go back. You ignored his pleas and went to him holding on to him tightly.

"(name)... Go on... without me... please..." You could hear the pain in voice as he spoke and it hurt your heart to hear him like that.

Trying to mask the pain you let your anger come out as you looked right in to his beautiful blue eyes, "Alfred just shut up! Its either we get out together or we die together!"

He looked at you shocked and then smiled. You helped him get up and you both maneuvered down the stairs trying to avoid the fires.

You both reached the bottom of the stairs burnt from the roaring flames and coughing due to the smoke. At the bottom of the stairs light shone through all the black and sick smoke as you made your to the exit.

Alfred was holding all the pain that his leg felt and holding back the harsh bloody coughs that he knew would be coming soon. He saw the light partially through his cracked glasses and hazy eyesight.

And for a split second he thought he was going to make it.

But then... He blacked out.

You literally at the exit looking at faces of the concerned people when Alfred fell limp. As you made it outside a firemen came to your aide and quickly and helped you carry him to safety. You cradled his face in your hand hoping that he was still alive, that you could see him smile that goofy and idiotic smile once more.

As the ambulance came to take him to the hospital you got in to the car holding on to his hand, your face emotionless. It was as if the fire had burned out any feeling in your body and only thing you could feel was the soft and warm skin of your best friend whom you loved so much.

You didn't even dare to look at the screen to see whether he was dead or alive, you just sat there numb with no thoughts in your head, but just one wish.

The wish to say I love you to him... Just one last time.

He may have been your best friend but he was also so much more than just that.

He was your best friend, your lover, your rival, you're ally, the closest person to you. He was EVERYTHING to you. And to say that you loved him just one last time before the smoke from the building took him over completely, would be enough.

But as you sit there on his death bed you realize you never did say them to him just that one last time. You remembered the feeling of losing everything when the ever heart breaking beep just stayed on one note signifying that he was dead.

You gently put the bouquet of flowers down holding back the tears, and as you walked away you felt as though someone was watching you. And then you heard three words, three words in his voice. You heard I love you, but when you turned around no one was their.

But the ghost of your handsome blonde love was standing right next to you, with his goofy idiotic smile and repeating the same words over and over again.

I love you.

Summer: 1) Sorry to my other readers about not updating its just that I have had no inspiration lately. 2) Sorry this was so short, I wanted to do something foe today and kinda rushed this because I have homework and crap. 3) I'm sorry if this wasn't that good I was rushing A LOT and that might be the cause of the not so good quality of the story.
