Chapter 7- the day i prayed.
Alice screamed Emmet's name and I pulled her closer to me. I too, was weeping uncontrollably. Although everything was happening so fast it felt although time was standing still. Firemen were yelling things I didn't understand, yet the fire seemed to get worse. The whole building was now immersed in thick grey smoke. Firemen started ushering people further away but I fought to be close to the building, I needed to know that Rosalie and Emmet were okay, I needed to see Emmet's joking face and Rosalie's striking beauty. I screamed for them. They say your life flashes before your eyes just before you die, in this case, I could only see my friends lives. Rosalie was the sister i never had and Emmet was the big brother we all wish we had. I saw Edward and Jasper making their way thru the crowd to us. Their pained expressions told us they knew Emmet and Rosalie were in there. Alice dropped to the ground and I followed her. The pain of the unknown was unbearable. Jasper fell to his knees as well and pulled us both into a hug. I could feel his chest thumping from hard sobs. Edward did not join us, he ran to the nearest fireman to find out what was happening. The fireman's harsh words killed me more.
'Sir, you need to stand back, I'm sorry but anyone who is caught in that fire is most probably dead!' He yelled pushing Edward back into the crowd. His face paled and he came and sat with us on the floor. He did not make contact with any of us he just stared into the void of smoke where our building once stood. We sat for what seemed like forever. The crowd started pulling away and heading back to their warm and comfortable homes soon to forget the tragedy that struck. I whimpered and leaned forward into my knees. I felt Edwards hand rub the small of my back and I slumped into his lap. I closed my eyes wishing the pain away when I heard Alice gasp next to me. I felt the air move as she stood up. I couldn't look, I just couldn't, and it was only when Edward forced me up that I did. I let out a cry as I saw Emmet emerge from the smoke with a limp Rosalie over his shoulder. He looked tired and as soon as he felt clear of the building he collapsed into a heap on the ground. Jasper ran forward only to be blocked by a fireman who yelled at him to stay back. Edward ran forward announcing he was a doctor and they let him through. He ran to his brother's side as they pulled his and Rosalie's bodies apart and prepared them for a stretcher. I could see that they had already put a tube down Rosalie's throat to help her breathe. My throat dried as I watched them load both my friends into different ambulances. Edward yelled what hospital they would be at and heaved himself into the back of the truck as well. I could feel Alice pulling at my arm toward the parking lot and I followed without resisting. I hopped into a car, whose it was I didn't know I just knew it was taking us to the hospital. I sat and rested my head against the head rest and closed my stinging eyes and for the first time in my life prayed that my friends were going to be okay.
