I don't own any characters depicted in The Greatest Showman. I only own the OC's.

Jack's POV

The whole week the show ended with many protestors in the front row. I asked them to leave multiple times throughout the show, but they stayed. I am watching Phil as he is talking to the men asking them to leave and they say this is their town, we should leave.

Phil asks them again and the man rants about how they don't take kindly to the him. He needs to leave, so do the freaks, and the n*****s. Phil goes one more time and the main man I now see is Zach says what is he going to do about it.

W.D swings at the men and now it's 2 on many. I join in the fray and get a few punches to my face. Phil got the worst of it, but then I hear Lettie scream charge and the acts come to help us. After a few more moments, I smell smoke and see fire coming from behind us.

O'Malley sends people to release the animals while the rest of us run for the exits. We all grab a buddy and get out of the building. We set people down and Barnum appears out of nowhere asking about the animals and if everyone is out?

I hear Phil say to W.D and Dianne where is Anne? Their faces show fear and before I know it, Phil runs back into the fire looking for Anne. Barnum and I hold Dianne and W.D back.

I hear W.D and momma coming from my right. Anne is there and P.T and I are both screaming Phillip. Barnum looks at his family and runs into the fire for Phil. A second later, the whole top of the building comes down.

I see the faces of everyone in tears and I turn and don't see P.T or Phil. A few more seconds pass and I put my handkerchief over my face and run into the building. I scream for Phil and Phin, but hear nothing.

I turn the corner and I see Phin pinned, and Phil pinned under flaming debris. I kick the debris off Phil and drag him to Phin. I help Phin out and we put Phil's arms around our shoulders and make our way out of the building.

I'm coughing, so is Phin, but we have to get out of the building. We get out and I hear screams of daddy. I drop Phil in front of everyone and see he isn't breathing. I say Phil isn't breathing. Natalie tells me to do compressions and she'll blow the air in.

I cough and we set to work doing CPR hoping we get Phil to breathe. As we are working, I see Anne is bawling and being comforted by Dianne. After a few more minutes, Phil coughs and I hear his breaths come out. I say that's it, and then Phil is loaded onto the waiting stretcher to go to the hospital.

Phin is hugging his family so I hug mine and say everything will be alright. We watch as the building burns and I think these people lost their home. The one place they could be themselves and thanks to Zach and his friends, that place is no more.

I hold my family and notice Anne is being held up by her mother. I tell her I'll make sure she can be by Phil in the hospital. She nods and I say we'll get her new clothes and we'll head out. She nods and by the next morning we are entering the hospital.

I go up to the nurses' station and ask for Phillip. She says Mr. Carlyle then? I nod and she says bed number 10. I say thanks and motion for Anne to go ahead of me. She says coloreds aren't allowed on that ward and I say my name is Dr. Jack Baker and unless she wants the wrath of my family on this hospital, she will let Anne through.

She nods meekly and I say Anne will be treated with respect and if she is not, then they can expect a call from my father. The nurse nods and Anne and I enter and we spot Phil. She runs to him and sits on the bed and grabs his hand. I stand back as I hear her say why don't we rewrite the stars.

Say that you were made to be mine, nothing can keep us apart. She puts her head on his hand and I walk up saying I'll get information for her. She nods and I say Natalie and I will come in to make sure she gets updated on his condition.

She nods and I tell her I'll be back. I walk out and ask the nearest doctor if he knows who is responsible for Mr. Carlyle. He says the he is and then says that a negro shouldn't be in that ward.

I say she is allowed in that ward, he will treat her with respect, if he doesn't, this hospital will hear from my father. He asks who is my father? I say my name is Dr. Jackson Baker so does he need to ask who my father is?

He looks taken aback and says that Mr. Carlyle is suffering from multiple burns on his torso and back. His lungs are filled with smoke, they'll clear up in a day or so. I nod and he says that he can relinquish custody of Mr. Carlyle to me when he wakes up.

I say that'll be fine, he wouldn't like to be here, not where they treat people like dirt. The doctor just glares and says he hopes I will update the spook on his condition.

I say I will, but if I'm not here, he will report the updates to Anne Wheeler in there. I can tell he doesn't like it, but luckily my name still carries weight around here. I leave him and head back to Anne and tell her what the doctor told me.

She nods and she goes back to watching Phil. I say she does love him then? She nods and says she knew from when their eyes met, but she fought it due to the color of her skin. I say she doesn't need to worry about that. She says everyone around them will talk.

I say let them, one thing I learned in my short 21 years on this earth is, no one chooses my relationship but me. It's not me and Nat and everyone else, it's just me and Nat. If they don't like it, they can go fuck themselves. Love trumps everything in my eyes.

Her eyes shine with tears and she says thank you. I say no problem, me and Nat will be in their corner. She nods and kisses Phil's hand. I smile and think it only took Phil running into a burning building for her to come around.

I can see in her eyes she regrets that. She's going to make it up to Phil for the rest of their lives. This is one love story that will be told for generations. Once the war is over, as I hear it's close, they can be married with no problems. Lord knows they both need that in their lives.
