Life in the Hills 3
Chapter Thirty Five - Aftershock Part I
Though the rattles had finally calmed down, the rattle of fear remained stricken in Tiffany. Gradually, Tiffany eyes opened and they had quickly met with Jack's – who still remained right before her, without a single cut or scrap against him. Just like he said, all seemed to play out well for the two of them.
"It's over – you can come out now."
Pulling her body out of the desk, Tiffany's eyes were greeted by the immense damage that had been done by the earthquake. The bits and pieces of glass were scatted down on the polished wooden floor and countless objects were completely knocked off. Of course, it never seemed bad but in reality it was. Tiffany's only experience with an earthquake was when she'd watch one of that horrible end of the world flicks, where Los Angeles or New York would sadly be the target.
Tiffany found Jack, staring deeply out the window to his courtyard and saw not a sign of life in his home. His classmates must have flocked out of the mansion in the midst of the quake – but of course, the damage had been done. An utter and complete catastrophe lingered in his backyard and from this high point, he could even see how the rest of the city was affected and it simply didn't look to well.
"I can't believe this," Tiffany approached the window, gazing outward; "This place is a complete mess."
"I don't care – we have insurance. I'm just glad we are alright," Jack turned over to Tiffany and looked very concerned, "You okay? I know you haven't been through an earthquake or anything like it."
She nodded. "I'm fine – thanks for helping me. I'd probably be a hysterical mess if I wasn't around someone who knew what to do. Now I know what to expect with future earthquakes."
"Let's get out of here," When Jack found himself coming to the door's edge, pushing it open wasn't exactly easy for the athletic and muscular football player – even he had trouble, eventually using his shoulder to pry the down open but nothing was working, "Damn – now the door's stuck too. What the hell are we going to do?"
"Call 911?"
Her suggestion was reasonable but surely wouldn't work in this situation, "There's over four million people living in this city and by the time they come to us – basically, it would take forever. We can get out of her by ourselves."
As Jack was walking to the window, Tiffany noticed Jack was walking oddly. He limped his way and Tiffany figured something was wrong so she quickly came from behind, "Jack, your limping. Is something bothering you? You should take a seat for a moment and relax. We'll get out of here."
His limping was a bit of a problem so he indeed took Tiffany's advice and took a seat on his bed, with Tiffany who joined him. Once the two were seated, there was this awkward silence that had suddenly emerged while Jack nursed his injury and Tiffany kept her hands folded in her lap. Jack's eyes wandered and quickly came across the scars that had remained on one of Tiffany's wrists. It scared him to see that such a beautiful girl would inflict pain on her.
He had to ask, "Tiffany, why do you do it? Why are you cutting yourself?"
In response to his question, she pulled down the sleeves covering her scars. There was no appreciation with the questions that were being asked, especially coming from him. It bothered her that he couldn't possible figure out why she was doing this all.
"Like I said before, I don't cut myself and what I choose to do is absolutely none of your business Jack. I'd appreciate it if you stopped asking me about me these things constantly. It's none of your business."
"Don't just sit her and lie to me," His voice was much softer – showing more concern than he usually does, "I know what you're doing and I'm not going to act like I don't care about you when I do. I'm worried about you. Why can't you just tell me the truth? Why do you do this to yourself?"
It slowly angered her, which would eventually give Jack what he was looking for.
"You want the truth Jack," While his voice got softer, her voice was much louder, "Yes, I do and you know very well why I've been doing this. Jack, are you blind? Have you not gone around and see the things that have happened to me over the course of these past few months. I've been humiliated wherever I go because of what? I don't even know what I did. To this day, I still don't have an idea what I did or what I did to deserve any of this. When you came along, I actually thought I found a friend. I thought I found someone even more in you but we all know how that turned out."
He genuinely began to feel remorse for the young girl – who had been through a lot over the past few months and he was a source of where she was acquiring the pain. She paused for that moment, just when tears jerked out of her eyes and gently down her cheeks, one by one.
"I don't even want to be here anymore. I wanted to just take the first flight back to Louisiana so I don't have to deal with this anymore because I just can't. I'm not strong enough. I'm just a useless human being who has no purpose – I only serve the purpose to be a walking target for people's practically jokes. All I want is a normal life. I want people to like me for me. This past of our lives – it's supposed to be the greatest time of our lives, where we live risk free and don't have to worry about anything but I do. When I walk into school every morning, I worry about what may happen to me, what practically joke I may be the victim of or if I'll be called a whore or a slut today. I don't want to be like that. I want to come in with a smile and actually enjoy my final year of high school. I want a normal life – that's it."
Her choice to open up to him was certainly surprising, seeing as he was one of the reasons why she was like this. An apology was all he could offer, "I'm sorry Tiffany and I mean it this time. I'm not just saying it because I'm supposing too. But I really feel horrible. I was a jerk. I thought I was doing it because it would be funny and cool. It's not and it bothers me the most that it took me this long to figure out what the hell was going on. You don't have to accept my apology because heck, I wouldn't if I was in your position but I'm sorry for everything I've done. If I could go back, I'd change what I did and I seriously mean that."
When she finally faced Jack, her mind told her that she couldn't believe him – that this was all a trick but her heart told her a different story, one she much wanted to hear. Jack was genuinely speaking to her and finally, Jack had become a much different human being to her in this time.
"I forgive you. I can't move on with my life if I don't forgive and let things go."
A smile had curved onto his lips, feeling the appreciation that he could finally be forgiven. Tiffany would go on to do something odd, she leaned forward and embraced the much large individual. Her head rested on his shoulder but Jack's hand didn't know what he should exactly do until he ultimately wrapped them around, squeezing her body. He traveled up to her ear and whispered, "I'm going to make sure you have a normal life," And she believed him, "Let me get you home too. I know you're parents are wondering where you are."
A sweet and warming smile etched across her lips – something told her this wasn't going to be another prank.
"Well, this sucks."
Cody gazed down at the door before him – he couldn't pull nor push the door open. His brain than had concluded that obviously, the door must be blockaded by something – assuming it was something from the unpleasant earthquake that came rolling through a few moments ago.
This left Cody Rhodes in a very tough situation and unaware of what he should do right now. His cellphone was dead so he couldn't call for help. It left him with the choice and it wasn't one he really liked – play the waiting game.
When all hope was lost, Cody suddenly heard a thumping noise coming from the other side of the locker room. Following the obstructive noise, he led him to a petite brunette who was slamming her fists against the blue steel down. She'd even cry out for help, "Can anybody here me? I'm trapped!"
"I hear you loud and clear."
The brunette suddenly froze. Twisting her body around, it was a sigh of relief to find Cody standing right behind her. She feared it may have been another individual but was actually thrilled to find Cody standing right before her, "It's only you – at first, I thought I may have been trapped with some creep. What are you doing in here?"
"I was changing when the quake started. I've been trying to look for another way out of here but I haven't had much luck. I can see you have been making some progress – I can hear the crowds of people flocking to the door already."
The sarcasm wasn't much appreciated by Eve who only wanted to leave, "I left my cell phone in my car so I can't even call anybody. Have you got anything? A phone or anything?"
"It's dead. The one day I don't decide to charge my phone, it dies. I've got all the luck on my side."
Letting out a loud groan in response to Cody's revelation, Eve took a seat down on the bench, "Today is just horrible. This day isn't going as I planned it would."
Showing a little concern, the raven haired male joined the brunette, "What's bothering you? You can talk to me."
The invitation to help comfort her was nice gesture. It bothered her that all of a sudden he had been so caring but when she was isolated in school and no one would talk to her, he would never say a word. Should he expect that all of a sudden she'd be friendly towards him as if nothing ever happened between the two of them? She couldn't let him get away this easily.
"Don't act so damn caring all of a sudden," She pushed him away. Cody received the vibe that Eve had grown angry toward him, for a reason he wouldn't know, "Don't be so friendly toward me when for the past few months you acted like I was completely invisible. Who are you to jump to my rescue and comfort me when you were nowhere to be found when I was made a complete fool of at school? Don't start playing the role of a hero all of a sudden."
Eve was right. Reflecting for a moment, he thought about his actions over the past few months. True – he didn't act like a real friend, even if they had once dated but he had his set of problems. He was in love with a girl who was in love with another guy and didn't know who she wanted. She thought her life was tough: she should have seen the mess he had endured and now he was left with nothing.
"You know you are right. I should have been there for you and I'm sorry for all of that but I've been through an entire mess of my own. Do you know what it's like to be in love with a girl who you couldn't have? We wanted to be together but she was the one who was unsure. Now he found out about everything and she went running after him. That tells me everything I need to know – she's made up her mind and wants to be with him. You know where that leaves me. All alone."
Now she regretted letting her anger out on him in the first place. Without any prior knowledge, she just want off on him and he didn't deserve it. It was now her turn to apologize.
"I'm sorry Cody for just going off on you like that. I wasn't thinking at all and I shouldn't have acted like that. If you don't mind me asking but who's the girl?"
He was a little cautious of revealing who it was but he didn't want to lie any longer, "You know her. It's Kelly."
She was taken aback by the name he had just mentioned. Never in her mind would she think the two of them would be engaging in a relationship but it didn't matter to her. Cody was hurt and she felt terrible for him, "I didn't see that coming but what happened?"
"It's a really long story but seeing as we'll be here for a long time, I might as well tell you," Cody cleared his throat, "Junior night, Kelly and I kissed after I told her how I was feeling. Evan suspected something and confronted me. He got trapped in the fire but I saved her from the fire. Evan was in the coma and I wanted to be with her so badly. We spent the entire summer together and I thought this is how it would be until the first day of school when Evan showed up and he was okay. After all of that, she didn't know who she wanted to be with. Kelly said she wants to be with me but now Evan walk in on the two of us and discovered that we were secretly hiding a relationship. Kelly chooses to run after him and here I am, left completely and utterly alone. She made her choice Eve so I give up on this. She doesn't want to be with me and she made it known."
Eve clutched his hand tightly with her hand and softly said, "I'm so sorry," Genuinely, she did feel horrible for him; "I understand how you feel. I think we are both in very similar situations, if you ask me."
It was a confusing statement that Eve had brought forward. Cody always thought she was happy, now that she was with Ted.
"You're with Ted – how is my situation similar to yours?"
"Ted is a really good person. He has a wonderful heart but I know. I know he's still in love with Maryse and how does that make me feel? I'm with a man whose still in love with another girl. Trust me; our situations are more alike than you think."
"What are you taking about Eve? He loves you; he's over Maryse. I don't know what you're worrying about."
She found it sweet that he didn't want her to give up but she had to accept the truth, whether she liked it or not, "You're sweet but Cody, I know. I see the way he still looks at her. A few days ago, I was planning on losing it – you know what I meant by it, right?" Cody nodded. It was code word for losing her virginity, "I thought Ted was the one but he didn't. I knew exactly what he was thinking after he left. He knew it was wrong and he deserves to be with Maryse. She's still in love with him and he's still in love with her. I can't pretend that I don't know that."
Their situations were definitely alike. Cody wrapped his hand around her shoulder, offering some comfort, "Sorry to hear that. I can't believe we are in really similar situations. It's kind of funny a bit."
She smirked, "It is. With the whole virginity thing, I never really imagined that I'd lose it to Ted. You know, I always thought you would be the guy I'd have my first time with," She laughed, "I was really thinking about it but then we broke up so I thought maybe it wasn't meant to happen."
An awkward silence entered the air and Cody found his head turning around and facing Eve. She looked beautiful. He wondered how much of an amazing girl she really was and how it was a little sad that he had ended their relationship. Eve gazed into Cody's eyes and felt that feeling come rushing back – the same one she received when she first met Cody and couldn't figure out an explanation why it was happening.
The two wouldn't be able to explain what was about to happen next.
Cody had made the first approach by laying a gentle kiss directly onto her plump beautiful lips. In response to the kiss, her hands traveled and made contact with Cody's cheeks. He continued to taste the raspberry lip gloss she had previously applied. Cody was always a gentle kisser and this was another reminder of how she first fell for him. The image of Ted had quickly exited her mind as Cody continued.
Much to Cody's surprise, he could feel Eve tugging on his shirt wanting to pull it off. He broke the kiss for a moment, allowing the Latina to do as she pleased and immediately kissed her, after taking in a deep breath. Her eyes remained closed as she was reminded of how she loved the kisses Cody would provide. Ted's were a little rough for her taste but Cody were just right.
Though she was doing something wrong, it never felt so right. Eve had always imagined that she'd lose her virginity to someone special and Cody was special. He was something more.
"Not here," He whispered into her ear, "Let's go in there."
Cody grabbed her hand and led her into the vacant office, which provided a couch as well. The two stood right before one another, staring into each other's eyes as they both realized what was about to happen. Eve had her mind set – Cody was the one she did imagine she'd lose it too. Cody looked into her eyes and pressed his lips against hers once more. Moving their bodies to the couch, Cody kicked the door closed with his free leg. Any thought of Kelly exited the room when the door was closed as well as any thought of Ted went along with it.
The moment had come and Eve couldn't have picked a better person to share it with.
The shaking had come to an abrupt end but when Torrie would open her eyes, she'd find that it wasn't really over. Her home had come down to shambles. Destruction and grief was made known in the mess that was created. The sound of her daughter crying and the look on John's face as he watched over the catastrophe that had lay upon them.
Leaving his wife and daughter behind, John quickly rushed over to where Randy and Nathan would be lying in. Pulling off the objects that had fallen on top of them, John would only hope that he could recover both his friend and son in one piece. As he dug his way through, he discovered his son who did look a little hurt but was alive and well. He quickly jumped into his father's arms and John could finally feel relieved that he was well.
"Thank god you're okay," John continued with the embrace, "Go to your mother and you guys stay under the table. Now go!"
He didn't talk back at all and did as he was told too and ran to the table where he was greeted by an embrace by his mother. Torrie looked out, as she was now holding both her children and looked on in despair now hoping that Randy would be okay, "Is he okay?" The concern was clear in her voice.
As John dug through the pile, he was getting deeper and deeper and the deeper he got, the more Randy's body was being exposed. He was lucky. John pulled Randy's body out of the ruble and set him onto a clear part of the living room floor. From head to toe, cuts covered his face and arms. Eyes closed and no movement; John placed two fingers against Randy's neck and had trouble locating his pulse. It was difficult to find as it was extremely weak.
"We need to get him to the hospital as soon as possible. Torrie, call 911 immediately!"
Looking down on Nathan, she gently said, "Nathan, you stay here with your sister. Do not move from this spot okay? I'm just going to call the hospital."
Nathan was always good at instruct and did as he was told. Torrie took the time to head into the kitchen and she pulled up the house phone. Dialing 911, she quietly waited until someone had finally answered the phone.
"911 – What's your emergency?"
"My friend – he's seriously injured. The ceiling caved in my home and he fell right on top of him. He's not responding to any of us and he's badly hurt. You need to send help immediately."
"Okay Miss – just tell me you're location and I'll send an ambulance you're way."
"27 North Elm drive. Please, you need to hurry!"
Hanging up the phone, Torrie placed her back against the wall and slowly slid down. She couldn't help but feel partial to blame for all of this. Randy was hurt now but she was so grateful for the sacrifice he had just made. Saving Nathan from any harm and putting himself on the line for him? And her she was keeping such a huge secret from him. She'd drawn a conclusion about herself – she was just a horrible person.
"I can't believe I'm doing this."
Her house wasn't affected much by the earthquake as many of the Ouellet prized possessions still remained intact. It was when she had come outside she'd discover the massive damage that was done to Beverly Hills and the city alone. Ted and her walked side by side down the empty Beverly Hills street. Looking off the hills, the city of Los Angeles laid in ruin with fires breaking out, the sirens echoing through her ears and the cracks in the ground. The city wouldn't be the same. They could have stayed in her home but Ted was desperate to check on his friends and Maryse didn't want to leave him alone.
"Can you believe this? I've never experienced something like this before," He gazed out on the damage that was brought forth with the wicked disaster, "I been through those small ones but this is insane."
"When I was really little, we had a huge one. My next door neighbors at the time even died. They were in their garage when it caved in. They had a daughter who was left all alone. It was so sad," Her previous experience with an earthquake had taught her the extent of damage one could do to anybody.
Though the earthquake was on her mind, Maryse wanted an answer from Ted. His apology did mean a lot to her but there was still so much that was left unanswered, "Ted, I know you already explained a little bit before but why were you angry that night – junior night? Did I do something?"
The fact was he was angry at her and though it was the past, she wanted to know and he decided to let her know.
"I was angry and I was angry at you. I'm not someone who really opens up about much. You know that already. I had come to a point where I really trusted you and I thought I could tell you everything," The two had suddenly stopped walking and remained in the streets with only the street light above offering some light, "When Eve was telling me everything I said, I assumed you told her and I got really upset. I wanted to get back at you so badly and I thought this would be the way and I didn't even know you came in. I was stupid – My anger got in the way of everything and it sounds so stupid right now."
The revelation was surprising. Maryse was somewhat at fault for what had happened. If she had just kept her mouth shut, this wouldn't have happened, "Ted, I'm so sorry. This was actually my fault. If I kept my mouth shut –"
"No!" He said out loud. He faced her directly, eye to eye, "I don't want you to think that. It wasn't you're fault. I don't want you to go on thinking that this is your entire fault. It's my issues and problems I can't face. Don't blame yourself or anyone. None of this wouldn't have happened if I didn't make such a stupid decision. You and I – I think we'd even still be together if I hadn't done what I did."
Hearing him so those words was a little surprising and Maryse wouldn't expect him to go on and say all of that, "You think we would have still been together?"
He nodded, "Yes, I honestly believe that you and I would probably still be together right at this moment.
She smiled softly. The revelation wasn't how she expected things to turn out. Ted opened up a lot more than she had expected too. The light had shined onto the dark situation as everything began to finally make sense. Ted's head tilted downward in shame. Shame and disgust consumed body for the moment. The suddenly, he felt a caring touch. Maryse locked her hand into his. He looked forward right into her delicate eyes. He'd be surprised by what would happen next when Maryse wrapped her arms around large body. A simple hug was all it took to finally feel her problems depart. Ted, in response to the situation, wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. The light from the lamp post shined down onto them.
"I forgive you."
The whisper in his ear took all conflict and sent it away. The two could finally look past everything that they had endured and focus onto a much more important issue – rebuilding the relationship they had once shared.
Maryse wanted to be with him but she wasn't going to ruin Ted and Eve's relationship to get what she wanted. If it was meant to be, it would happen.
Ending the embrace, Ted's eyes traveled to a building in the distance. His hand was still interlocked with hers, Ted guided Maryse into the direction he wished to travel too. What he would discover would surely stun him.
"Check out West Beverly."
Their very school had remained in ruins. An entire mess had unfolded upon their school because of the earthquake that had occurred. Windows remained shattered, the sing that laid above the school's front entrance came down in shambles and the lamp posts around the school came down.
The earthquake may have been bad but the aftershock had remained.
"It's completely destroyed."
Ted assessed the damage and found the parking lot was still occupied and two familiar cars still remained. He recognized both Eve and Cody's car still remaining in the parking lot, "That's Eve's car and Cody's. There still somewhere here, I bet."
"Where can they be?" Asked Maryse, who surprisingly showed concern for the two, "Maybe there in the school or maybe the locker room?"
"Let's check it out – they have to be here somewhere."
"…The 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck somewhere around the hour of 10:03pm, leaving utter destruction and chaos throughout the city of Angels. The trembles were felt as far as San Francisco but only affected the immediate Los Angeles metro area. Countless fires have broken out throughout the city and the emergency lines are clogged with several calls for help. Local hospitals are filled with victims of the earthquakes. The Mayor recently announced that this may have been one of the worst earthquakes to strike the city in the past twenty years, as he declared a state of emergency. Officials believe the number of casualties will reach into the thousands. Please continue to stay with Channel four news as we cover the earthquake…"
The only television left in the beach club had made the announcement, until it came crashing down and shattered against the surface. Nikki Bella wasn't too focused on trying to listen to the news that was present but concentrated on removing the giant chandler that had collapsed onto Dolph. With the strength that remained in Nikki, she pulled the object off his injured body.
As soon as it was removed, she rushed to his side. Her hand gently patted down onto his head and pulled back his strands of blonde hair. She looked down upon him and feared the worse. As she learned in her health class, she placed two fingers upon his neck and searched for a pulse. Luckily, she located it and was relieved to know he was still alive but the weak beat wasn't providing much support.
Down on her knees, she took in his ice cold hand and tried her best to warm it up. Brushing her breath against the hand and rubbing the hands together – she couldn't lose him. Dolph was a good person – it just took her a little more to figure it out. The way he would just risk his life to put his forth. He wasn't a jerk. He was a hero, if the question was asked to her.
She received a chance. Nikki received a chance to finally let Dolph know about everything.
"I don't think you hear me but I think I should let you know something – you deserve that. When I first met you, I thought you were this jerk and when I saw you in pain, it made me realize you aren't a jerk. You're a good person with such a big heart. If I took the chance to really discover who you are, we wouldn't be in this mess. When I finally figured out who you really are, I couldn't stop thinking about you. You remained etched in my mind and I couldn't let you go. I had to let you know something and I don't know if you're going to hear me but I'm going to say it. I think I'm falling for you."
She finally said it. It took such an event, such a conflict to make her realize the truth and how it could no longer be avoided. There's a saying and it goes a little something like this: The truth will set you free and free she felt as her true emotions were made known.
Small droplets had exited her ears and traveled down her cheeks, "I can't lose you Dolph and that's why you've got to wake up. I'd be lost without you and you need to come back to me. Please, just come back to me."
Her head crashed down for a moment, staring at the blank ground when she felt a sudden movement in his hand. Looking up, she found Dolph's eyes openly slowly but weakly. His eyes toured what was around him, until he found who was sitting right beside him, "Nikki, is that you?"
She spoke with such joy in her voice, "It's me Dolph."
With the strength that remained in his body, he pulled himself up enough to be at matching heights with Nikki. Immediately, he made contact with her beautiful brown orbs, "Nikki, what's going on?"
"I need to talk. Let me talk Dolph," She had insisted, "I'm sorry I had hurt you like that. It took for something like this to happen to finally realize that I think I'm falling for you."
The words he never expected to utter out of her mouth actually flooded out of her lips. He was left completely stunned about it all and found himself in a difficult position. This is how it feels to finally get the girl you've been dying to have. He didn't want to explain but show it instead. They remained inches apart until Dolph closed the gap between the two and sealed it with a kiss. The feeling could only be explained in one word: amazing. The wait was well worth it and the two couldn't have picked a better situation to finally reveal their true feelings.
Pulling away from the kiss, the two were both able to release a breath of air. Their eyes had remained locked at one another.
"This is all I want Dolph. Just tell me that you want to be with me?" Nikki asked.
The blonde had remained silent and smiled afterwards, "I thought the kiss had spoken for itself."
Dolph was being himself and in response to that, she awarded him with another kiss – a much deeper and long lasting one.
Moments went by and eventually the kiss was broken. Nikki helped Dolph get back onto his feet, even though he was still a little hurt from the injuries he sustained from the lighting fixture that had fallen on top of him. He winced in pain when Nikki touched the side of his wounded body, "You're hurt Dolph – let me take you to the hospital."
"The hospital's a mile away and neither of us have a car."
"We'll walk," She answered simply, "So it's a mile away and I have my heels on? I don't care. You're going," Nikki let him know as he took her arm and placed it over her shoulder giving her an edge. She wasn't going to lose him again. She was going to stay right by him and make sure he was okay.
Dolph looked over at Nikki and found the determined look imprinted on her face. She was determined more than ever and loved that about her. It was probably one of the reasons he fell for her in the first place. After so long, Dolph finally got the girl of his dreams – that girl he could never catch, was finally caught.
Evan was left frozen for a moment, just as the trembles had come to an end. He stopped and stared, examining the situation that was at hand. There she remained, motionless on the dark pavement as the car that struck her was no longer in motion. During his pause, he tried to digest if this was real or if this was some sort of dream. Once he had snapped back in reality, it hit him.
"Kelly!" Cried out male. Evan rushed over to the scene and bent right beside Kelly. Her beautiful face was now composed of cuts and scratches. Not a single movement lingered in her body as the time passed. Now, Evan felt responsible for all that had happened. His actions had led to this and now Kelly could possibly die because of him.
"Kelly, say something. Are you there?" On his knees, he held onto her body in his hands staring into the closed eyes, "You've got to say something to me – anything. I need to know if you're okay."
Not a single response.
"This is my entire fault. If I hadn't run off and talked to you like a civil person, none of this would have happened. Why am I such an idiot sometimes? What if something happens to you – I'll never be able to forgive myself if anything happens to you," His heart opened up, "I love you too much to just let you go like this. I'm not giving up on you. If you don't pull through this, I don't know what I'll be able to do with myself. You need to wake up."
Nothing was clearly working – Kelly needed medical attention as soon as possible. He panicked around, not finding a cell phone on him or on Kelly. How could he get help without any form of communication?
He wasn't a strong man – he had a strong heart though. Scooping Kelly off the ground, he gently left her laying on the green grass on the side. Rushing over to the vehicle that had crashed before, he discovered the lifeless body. A man remained in the passenger seat with his eyes opened and not moving whatsoever. Digging into the man's pocket, he searched for a cell phone as the smell of alcohol filled Evan's air. Nodding in disappointment, he realized why he crashed in the first place. No luck in finding a cell phone so his only hoped remained in waving down someone who was passing by.
Now it seemed his luck was finally taking a turn for the better. The bright lights of a large SUV popped down the block and Evan quickly ran in the middle of the street, waving to get their attention.
"Pull over!" Waving his hands like a maniac, he mentioned to get the car to pull over and the two individuals who occupied the car came out, "I need your help!"
"Evan, dude – is that you?"
He knew that voice. The tall blonde haired man stood beside a shorter blonde who looked very worried, "Jack and Tiffany – thank god it's you guys!"
"What's going on Evan?" Tiffany asked with the sign of concern present in her voice, "Is everything okay?"
"No!" He rushed over to Kelly's body and showed them what had happened, "Kelly and I were fighting and then this drunk driver came by and hit Kelly and now she's not responding," He was growing very frustrated, placing his hands on his head in agony, "And now she's dying and the last thing I told her was I didn't want nothing to do with her and –"
Emotions were getting the best of him but Tiffany ran over to her classmate quickly comforting him, "We'll take her to the hospital – you and Jack load her in the back seat and the hospitals a short drive from her. She's going to be fine Evan, I promise."
Tiffany opened up the back seat door as Jack and Evan loaded her into the back of the vehicle. Evan remained with her in the back seat, keeping her head resting on his lap. Jack turned the car around and headed for the hospital.
As time was running out, Evan concentrated his concern to the blonde who remained lifeless beside him. Evan's initial fear had been if he loses her, he wouldn't be able to live with himself. Kelly had to be okay – she just had too.
A/N: And the Saga continues.
I only have one question: Did anyone see a Cody & Eve reunion coming? :) Things are certainly going to be shaken up.
I believe we'll have one more chapter that goes along with this, maybe a fourth - not sure yet.
Also, I have a new story called NOT LIKE THE MOVIES with Justin Gabriel & Kelly Kelly - i'd so appreciate it if you guys would check it out.
I wanted to try a new pairing - new year, new ideas :)
Thanks for reading and please leave a review.
Take care xx
Next Chapter - Torrie gets in touch with Stacy and Eve & Cody are found.
