Chapter 2: "Oh trouble"

Kates pov:

( Right after she left poppy)

I sprinted down the stairs to try and find an exit that wasn't covered by rubble. Finally I found one and I staggered out into the cold September air. I was out of breath and coughing when I reached Mrs. Kingsley.

"Oh Kate dear you need medical attention immediately" said Mrs. Kingsley

"But you don't understand" I started "Poppy's still in there!" "I tried stopping her but she had already gone" I said, new tears streaming down my face.Mrs.Kingsley looked at me shocked. "What?" she said as her face went pale. Then suddenly light flashed across her features as we heard a big explosion as the ceiling caved in, that's when I knew poppy might not make it out alive.

Freddie's pov:

I stood behind my mum when I heard Kate saying the last things I wanted to hear: Poppy's still in there.

The words hit me like a ton of bricks and tears stung in my eyes, I stood in shock for a moment then without hesitation ran into the blazing building.

Once I found my way up the stairs I started frantically yelling her name: POPPY!!

I decided to check out where the blow was, fearing the worst.

I finally found a horrific scene: Poppy the love of my life lying lifeless on the floor under the collapsed roof, blood dripping from her head,arms and hands as she lay still not moving a muscle.

I walked up to her moving all the rubble and bits of the ceiling off of her, when everything was moved I put one hand under her head and one hand under her legs, I tried not to cause her pain as I lifted her bridal style out of the burning building, tears spilling from my eyes down on my cheeks.

"Oh trouble" I started "Why do you always end up hurt?" I said softly as I kissed her forehead.
