Holly's J's POV
"Sav…how are…we going…to get…out?" I coughed severely and my eyes and nose burned from smoke. This couldn't be good for my health. As much as it was bad for everyone, I was already sick.
"There has to be a way out. We'll find out." Sav was determined, but he avoided my gaze, and he didn't look at me. He had good reason. I had broken up with him…just because I wasn't feeling it.
"We'll have to find Alli." I sighed.
"Oh God. Alli. Let's go." His mood changed. Now he was a big brother, scared for his little sister. He pulled me along, but somewhere along the way I let go. And when I got it together to follow him, he'd disappeared.
I skidded to a halt. A giant piece of fallen, burning debris stood in my way.
Then, when I was about to turn back, I ran into Declan.
"Holly J!"
"Declan?" We said each other's names at the time.
"I've been looking for Fiona…and you." He admitted.
I wanted to kiss him there and then, but I pushed that feeling back.
"Declan…why are you here?" I was being cold and bitchy but I couldn't control myself.
"I wanted to surprise Fiona with a visit." He didn't seem phased by my attitude.
"No- at Degrassi."
"Because I found out Fiona was in here- and Degrassi was on fire." He was worried.
"C'mon…let's get out of here."
"No! Declan- you don't understand. You don't belong here." I ripped my hand from his grip.
"Holly J." His voice was almost reduced to begging. "This building will collapse any second. We need to go. Now."
"I'm so scared though Declan." I admitted. "But…Fiona…Anya…Sav…" I shook my head.
"Holly J." He hugged me to him. "We'll find them." He held me away from him, his hands on my upper arms. In his eyes was a slight hurt. Sav.
He didn't know we were broken up…he also didn't know how him crushing me to him hurt me because of my illness.
"Declan, I'm so glad to see you." I told him honestly. I wanted to cry, but everything was so dry and hot, I couldn't.
He nodded. I smiled at him as he shielded me from obstacles as we darted through, trying to find traces of human life to help.
