Ch. 8 Someone's Coming
"I've got to go back in. This is just wrong." Before Jason could even start to the door he heard someone shout. They said that a woman was coming out of the hotel. Jason, Carly and Sonny all stood open mouthed as the blonde woman came out. Their eyes followed as she limped towards the medical area.
"I need some help here!" Faith shouted towards the ambulance and an EMT helped her over to be checked out.
The family stood open mouthed and broken hearted. They each had the exact same thought on their mind.
'How could all this be happening?'
Jason and Sonny stood in a trance only snapping out of it when Carly brushed past them both in Faith's direction. They snapped out of it and quickly followed.
"Hey! Faith!" Carly called out angrily to the woman. "What happened? Where's Courtney? I know you saw her didn't you?"
Faith began to put on her best act, she knew that this would be coming. She had gone over it in her mind on the way out.
"Yes, I saw her. She helped me get down here. Then....out of nowhere." she paused for a more dramatic effect. "the cieling came down. She pushed me out of the way, but...but didn't react in time for herself." 'Maybe not exactly like it happened but they didn't need to know the little detail about the gun. It didn't go off exactly as planned but too late for that now.' Faith was extremely pleased with herself and that she would get away with it.
Carly turned around, putting her back to Faith. She wouldn't let that witch see her cry. She didn't want to cry at all, she found part of herself believing that Faith was lying. She stared at the building, the fire had died down a bit but it didn't matter.
It couldn't be ending like this. It shouldn't be, she couldn't believe it. Any of it. Why would this happen? She now had tears in her eyes threatening to fall. Everything was beginning to blur. That was why she didn't believe what she thought she saw. She let a tiny bit of hope rise. It couldn't be. She wiped away the tears and looked again. It was.
"Someones coming!" she shouted and on the shirts of the two men, turning them around. Everybody stared and saw a silhouette through the smoke. Carly knew right away, and she was certain that Jason and Sonny did as well.
Jason was still unsure if he could let himself believe it. 'Could it really be her?' he didn't know what to think. He was too afraid to simply announce that it was her only to be shot down again. So he watched, the woman was stumbling through the smoke barely keeping her footing. He let hope rise inside of him, 'It could really be her!'
Courtney was finally outside. After everything she had finally made it. Staggering forward doing her best to keep her balance, she let her eyes wonder lazily.She wanted to call out, but every inch of her was pleading for rest. She mainly felt the exhaustion. She hardly felt any pain. Her mind wouldn't allow her to feel pain, simply because she needed to get there.
She was slowly stepping closer. Gradually closing in on the space between them. Ever step felt like a mile but there was no way she was stopping now. She couldn't she had come to far. So she kept on, every so slowly moving forward.
None of them moved. They didn't want it to be a dream. It seemed like the second were to accept it, it would all just fade away. Nobody wanted to go back to the painful thoughts of before.
