Save You
Her boss yelled across the room.
"Everyone, lights out, lock the doors, and into the backroom. The employees in the room began to panic rushing around grabbing their valuables, pulling the shades down and making the place look empty. She quickly followed the group into the back room. She helped push heavy boxes against the door.
"Everyone silence your phones and ladies go hide in the closets." The boss spoke in a hushed tone as the group. As many of us could we shove into the closets. She covered her ears, hearing the screams, the sounds of glass shattering, and banging of furniture. Squeezing her eyes shut she just prayed it was over soon.
"Is it hotter in here to anyone else?" One woman employee whispered.
"The building is on fire!" We heard screaming outside.
"Let's get out of here!" Another employee spoke in a loud voice. She followed the group of the closet. They opened the doors from the backroom.
"The front is on fire, out the window!" One by one they crawled out of the window. She got up and ran several feet from the building before tripping in the grass and falling to the ground. She tried to get up before a man approached.
"Ahhh!" She let out a scream as he reached for her. Covering her head and squeezing her eyes. "Help me Kyoichi!"
"Hey, hey, let me go!" The guy yelled. She opened her eyes and Kyoichi was standing there twisting the guys arm. He pushed him away. With that the guy ran away.
"You okay?" He reached out his hand to her. She looked at him and took his hand. He pulled her into his arms. Out of relief she began to cry.
"I'll always be here to save you." Kyoichi hugged her tightly. He took her purse from her and led her to his car. "You're safe now, and I'm here now." He cupped her chin and kissed her on the lips softly. Then he held her hand as he took her home.
