Here you go. Enjoy

I opened my eyes and looked over at my alarm clock. The hideous screeching sound had awoken me from a nightmare, and for once I thanked it for its helpfulness.

I put a hand to my forehead and realized I was sweating. Sitting up, I rubbed my sweat-soaked arms and looked around for my blanket. It was on the floor, so I picked it up and set it on the bed before getting to my feet. I picked out some clothes for the day and stepped into the bathroom.

After my shower, I dried in brushed my hair. I felt just as tired as I had last night before I'd gone to bed. My body ached, and I guessed it'd been from sleeping on it wrong, but the shower had helped drastically. I stared at my eyes in the mirror, they had dark circles around them.

I slipped out the door, careful not to wake Eric, who had to be at work at around ten or so. Most of the time when I was finished readying myself for school, he was in the living room watching TV, wide awake.

Eric had trouble sleeping, as I did, but he couldn't just walk around for a few and then go back to sleep. Once he was awake, he didn't get back to sleep, so when he was lucky enough to get some sleep, I was cautious not to wake him.

As I walked down the sidewalk, I heard the familiar sound of Sonny's motorcycle nearing me. He looked over at me when he rode past, and waved, but didn't bother to stop. I shoved my hands in my pockets and pretended not to see him. I rarely walked to school, though I walked home from school frequently, but today since Eric had been asleep, I had to.

I walked up the steps and into the large brick building, and made my way to my locker.

I glanced over my shoulder and saw Sonny talking with the he same guy he'd slammed against the wall at the party Saturday night.

I noticed just how height size Sonny was compared to the jock. Because Steven towered over him. Maybe it was because he was so chunky. I laughed at the thought, and saw Sonny glance over at me. "You think something's funny?" he started towards me, and I flinched back against my locker, shaking my head quickly.

I could see the look in his eyes as he stood over me. He seemed angry, but there was something else too. It looked like regret. He leaned in close. "Stay out of my way. I don't want to hurt you." He hit me in the stomach, gentler than he had been the past week, but still pretty hard. I doubled over, breathless, and when I finally looked up, he was gone.

I let out a whine, and finally brought myself to my feet. I made my way to my first class, and sat down in my desk. I laid my head down and closed my eyes, praying the day was over.

After I left school, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and slowly turned around. One of the cheerleaders stood with her arms crossed, smacking her gum. "Can I help you?" I asked.

"I saw you and Sonny hanging out at his party over the weekend," she started. "I wanted to know if you could ask him out for me. You seem to be pretty close to him."

I laughed bitterly. "Obviously you haven't seen me around him at school." I looked at my feet. "I think he has a girlfriend. Or a crush at least." I thought back to the girl he'd called Angel, and with the thought came the familiar rush of hurt. As much as I hated to admit it, I realized I had a crush on Sonny.

She frowned, and bit her bottom lip. "Oh. Well. Thanks anyway." She turned around and started to walk off, then glanced back at me over her shoulder. "What's your name again?"

"I'm Will," I said quietly, before I turned around to make my way back home.

I stopped at the park, halfway home, and sat down against the same tree where Sonny and I had been Saturday, and lost myself in my thoughts.

When I finally came back to reality, it was due to the loud screaming of a fire siren. I got to my feet and looked over the fence behind me just in time to see a bright red firetruck speed past, a motorcycle hot on its tail.

I frowned as I recognized Sonny's bike. Why was he chasing the firetruck? I walked out of the park and followed the sidewalk. It wasn't long before I saw what the big fuss was about.

A thick cloud of smoke rose from the town's elementary school. Sonny skidded to a halt, and I saw him leap off his motorcycle. I ran towards the burning building, just in time to hear one of the firemen let out a yell: "There are still some children inside!"

Sonny looked back at me, but didn't hesitate long before he was bolting towards the building.

I saw one of the firemen hold up his hands to try to stop Sonny from going in any closer, but he just shoved him out of the way and threw himself through the broken window. A moment later, three soot covered children climbed out of the window.

Sonny was carrying one more. He passed the unconscious child to the fireman, just as an ambulance arrived at the scene. Sonny went back, and I rushed forward as the fireman carried the unconscious child to the paramedics.

Sonny reappeared a moment later, carrying a little girl, and passed her to me. He was coughing, and his eyes were bloodshot from all the smoke. I could only imagine the hell he'd went through in the burning school. I quickly carried the child to the ambulance and handed her over to a paramedic, before returning for Sonny. He laid on the ground, eyes closed. I knelt beside him. "Sonny...?"

He gave a weak smile. "I'm fine..." His eyes remained closed as I picked him up gingerly, careful not to hurt him too badly. He was heavy, and it was difficult for me to carry his weight, but I made it to the ambulance, and the paramedics quickly went to work on giving him oxygen and patching up his burns.

They took off his shirt, now covered in holes from where he'd been burned, and I was thankful that he- miraculously- wasn't too bad off.

I watched as they worked, and none of them even seemed to notice me. After they loaded him into the ambulance, one of the paramedics turned to me. "Are you of any relation to him?" he asked.

"I'm um.." I thought desperately, knowing that if I could think of something they'd let me accompany them to the hospital. Then I looked at his motorcycle. He was going to need it when he got out anyway, so I shook my head and ran for it as they loaded Sonny into the ambulance. I hopped onto the bike and put on a helmet, then turned to follow the ambulance to the hospital.

What a day.
