"Save us from Hell!"


"Make that call! Now!" John cried to Eric. John didn't look at Maggie. He didn't fear her. John tried to take Abby's pulse. He has always wanted to be a doctor so he had learned something about medicine. He moved Abby away just in time before Maggie tried to hit them with a candlestick. Abby was saved for the hit this time, and John found her pulse. Maggie pulled away. She found some gas. She and all the others in the room heard the ambulance on the road. Maggie made a decision. She poured all of the gas on the floor. On the bench next to her were the matches.

"This little light is perfect for you, Abby. You have always been the problem child. But now it's all over! Come on Eric. Let's get the hell out of here!"

"No! I don't want to be with you! You're not worth it! I know why dad left you! But why couldn't he take us with him? Why?" Eric cried.

"What the hell! Stay here! Have a great time with the fire. Goodbye! Forever!" Maggie yelled and lighted the fire.

"No! Don't do it!" John cried.

"See Ya! Not! He, he!" Maggie cried into the room and laughed with a fake laugh. She put the match on the floor and saw the fire go into the room, before she ran out to be safe. Eric didn't have anywhere to go. He was trapped. John discovered him.

"Eric! You have to jump, from the table. Now! Or... Just jump!" Eric climbed gently on the top of the table. He had to jump. This was his only chance to survive. He jumped and landed a few meters from John and Abby. He ran over to John. They heard the ambulance out side.

"Get out! I'll stay here with Abby. Go. Find some help!!" Eric took a look at the door, but the window had to be better. The window was over the kitchen sink and he opened it. The water came out of the sink. Eric felt out the window and some of the men who were outside dragged him away. They put him in a car.

"Is it more people in there?" one of the men asked.

"Yes. Abby and John!" Eric said and coughed.

"Hurry up, everyone!" Eric heard. He looked around and he saw many people ran all over the place. Inside the house it was fire everywhere, and Abby and John were almost totally lost. All that John could see was fire and smoke. He had to do something now. Or else he could die in here with Abby in his arms. He couldn't let Abby die. He took a good hold of Abby and lifted her up. He held her in his two strong arms. And he went over the floor and kicked the front door up. Gently, but hard. If he lost Abby, they wouldn't have a chance. The door went up and the flames went up the wall. John tried to breath. It wasn't easy. He went out and he was safe, but the best of all, Abby was safe. John smiled. A doctor named Dr. Garmly took care of Abby, and they put Abby into an ambulance and drove to mercy. John followed the ambulance with his eyes while he was examined.

"There's no goodbye... only love." He thought inside.

Later that night the whole gang went to Mercy. Elizabeth, Carol and Doug were waiting outside while John went in to Abby. He stopped in the door. He saw Abby talking with a man. Abby looked sad. She hugged the man and smiled. John wondered who it was but didn't ask. The man went out and John started talking with Abby. She was still weak

"How is everything going?" John asked. Abby looked at the other friends before she answered.

"Good."

"Abby, it's time for some x-rays." A nurse said and did her bed ready. John looked down.

"John. We can talk later. And, thank you. For what you've done. I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't forget your number on the table. Thank you, John. Bye." Abby said while the nurse took her out. She was still coughing.

"Wait!" John said. He leaned over Abby and kissed her. "Bye, Abby!"

"Bye, John!" Abby said. She smiled and he smiled back. John went down to their friends and said something that made them walk away. They waved to Abby before they saw her disappear.

"There's no goodbye... only love!" Abby thought.

Here's some wings
They're yours forever
And here's some dreams that will come true
Take those tears to wash your sorrow
Tomorrow still holds out its hands to you
