Enjoy!
'I'm going to see if there is a way out over there, I can see a bit of light so we might be able to push through.' Maria said, taking off her heels before climbing over the rubble.
Leanne stayed with Carla, trying to stop her from falling asleep.
'Come on you, don't leave me now, gonna need you standing up there with me at the wedding.' Carla offered Leanne a small smile, before coughing and wincing in pain. Leanne gave her a tissue incase she retched and when she brought it away from Carla's mouth there was something covering it.
Blood.
Carla was coughing up blood.
..
Maria pushed a hole through what had been a wall, the bricks falling away. She scrambled through it into the space on the other side. She made the hole slightly bigger before looking round the space. It seemed to be more structally sound, and she could hear the faint sound of sirens, giving her a glimer of hope.
'Leanne! I've made a gap, we might be able to get Carla through it, it seems safer in here.'
Leanne made her way to the gap, keeping one eye on Carla.
'Okay, come and help me with Carla, she's getting worse, she's started coughing up blood.' Then thought struck Leanne.
'Maria check if theres a phone signal! You might be able to get help.' Leanne walked back to Carla.
Maria pulled out her mobile, seeing a picture on the screen of her and Liam.
'Mummy's coming home, I promise.' Maria whispered looking at the photo
Seeing that there was a signal, she scrolled down the list of names and held the phone up to her ear, praying the person on the other end was going to pick up.
..
Peter was standing in a throng of people, seeing if there was anymore people pulled out of the wreckage. His father had taken Simon to the medical centre to get check out after the house that all the kids was staying in set on fire, but he had been given the all clear.
Suddenly Peter's mobile rang in his pocket, Maria's name flashing up on the screen. He shouted over the group of people.
'Everybody quiet, Maria's calling me, it might mean theres people still alive under the wreckage.' There was a hush as Peter answered the phone.
'Maria are you alright? Are Carla and Leanne with you? Are they okay?'
'Peter just shut up and listen. Me and Leanne are fine but Carla's in a bad way. She needs to go to hospital and fast.'
'Why whats wrong? Is there anyway out?'
'We're moving Carla into the main bar area, the walls look less likely to collapse.'
'Okay. What's wrong with Carla?'
'There was a metal bar crushing her legs, we managed to move it but she's almost unconcuss. She's coughing up blood aswell.'
'I'll tell the rescue team where you are, just try and make sure your all safe.'
As Peter said this Maria's phone cut out.
..
'Peter? Peter can you hear me?' Maria looked down at her phone. The battery had died.
Maria went back to where Leanne was sat with Carla.
'I managed to call Peter, there's recuse teams looking for us, but we have to move Carla, otherwise this is going to collapse on us.'
Leanne nodded and together with Maria they managed to get Carla over to the other side of the bar.
..
The pair lay Carla down, trying not to cause her anymore pain.
From where she was Carla could see the fuzzy outline of a wooden beam above her, creaking slightly from the weight of the bricks on top of it. She tried to focus on it, not the seering pain down her back.
All of a sudden there was shift of rubble and shouts could be heard. Leanne and Maira shouted for all they were worth.
'Help!'
'Please!'
'We're in here!'
A hand could be seen pushing some bricks away, and then the light of a torch.
'We're going to get you out of here, just stay calm and walk towards me.'
'We can't we've got a casulty here.' Maria shouted as more rubble came down on the 3 of them.
'Please come towards me, this whole structure could collapse.'
Maria picked up Carla's legs as Leanne linked her arms behind Carla's back, trying to lift her out to the paramedics.
..
'Who's that?' Norris asked as a man was carried off into a ambulance.
'It's the tram driver.' One of the firemen shouted.
'Went through all of that and survived. Miracle' Norris muttered under his breath.
Another body was carried out of the rubble, a woman.
Carla.
