The Day We'll Never Forget

Sophie, Evelyn and the other nurses ran around the hospital helping all the men that were injured. There were so many of them that they could have any more of them. Evelyn was told to sort them out, the ones that could save and one's that couldn't. Evelyn ran past Sophie and asked her if she could help. Sophie grabbed her lipstick and ran outside with her. Hundreds of men walked towards the hospital covered in petrol, gas, and blood. Sophie and Evelyn pulled a brave front and went to the doctors and told them to get them to stay back until they are marked. Evelyn and Sophie ran around marking the men. A man came to Evelyn and Sophie with a woman.

"I just found her! I don't know if she's alive?" the man told her.

"She's dead," Evelyn said checking her pulse and then she pulled her hair away from her face.

The girls gasped when they saw Betty, she was dead. They guessed she died from a concussion. They started to cry but Sophie and Evelyn knew that they had to go on.

"Put her over there with the rest," Sophie pointed to the wall of dead bodies with tears streaking her face.

"Oh god, Betty. I can't do this," Evelyn started to panic.

"Evelyn! Go inside and help the doctors ok? I can do this! I'll find someone else!" Sophie ordered her.

Evelyn nodded and rushed back inside. Sophie looked at the many men still coming; it was like a sea of people. She took a deep breath and started to run around checking them to see if they were worth saving. She found a couple of doctors and she gave them some lipstick to mark the men. Finally they were done; there were hardly any men to save. She couldn't believe this whole situation, how bad it had gotten. She stumbled through the halls of the hospital. Evelyn joined her. The looked up and saw their loves. Sophie felt really dizzy and she had massive head spins.

"How can we help?" Rafe asked.

"We.need, need blood," Sophie stuttered holding her head.

"Are you ok?" Rafe asked her concerned.

Sophie had been hit in the head a few times by men freaking out thinking that she was going to hurt them. They had a doctor that was Japanese so it wasn't much help. He was a great doctor though.

"Yeah, I've been sorting men out and I got hit a few. times." Sophie collapsed on the ground.

"SOPHIE!" Rafe panicked and dropped to the floor trying to wake her up.

"Sophie! Sophie, can you hear me?" Evelyn asked.

"Sophie! Please wake up!" Danny pleaded.

"Sophie, please wake up! I love you so much, wake up!" Rafe looked at her with a worried look.

Sophie's eyes started to flutter open. She looked around and smiled weakly.

"I passed out, didn't I?" Sophie asked sitting up.

"Yeah, you got me scared there," Rafe told her holding her close.

"I love you too," Sophie smiled and kissed his lips gently.

Evelyn and Sophie brought Danny and Rafe into a spare room. A priest was performing a ritual for the man that was slowly dying. Rafe and Danny looked on with shock. Sophie hooked Danny up and started to drain blood into a Coke bottle. He looked at her with pain. She looked at him sorrow then kissed the top of his head. He looked at her with a smile and she smiled back.

Evelyn hooked Rafe up and drained his blood. He also looked at her with pain and she looked at him as if to say sorry. She turned away from him and went over to Danny. Sophie went over to Rafe and she softly stroked the side of his face and ran her fingers through his soft brown hair. She smiled warmly at him and he smiled back and pulled her closer with his free hand. Sophie rested her head against his. Evelyn and Danny did the same. They looked towards the door and an officer asked for their assistants down at the harbor and help to free some men. They agreed and went down as soon as they finished donating their blood.

The day after they went to see the coffin of Betty. Red dropped to his knees and placed his hands on the top of it. Sophie placed a hand on his shoulder for support while holding Rafe's hand. Tears overcame the whole group of them; they had lost a good friend. Red had lost his true love and his fiancée. Rafe let go of Sophie's hand and walked over to the officer that had called him. Sophie walked next to Evelyn and looked at them. The two of them wondered what was going on. Rafe and Danny looked over at them sadly. Now they were even more curious.
