Okay, due to your response (and the threat of Jac-like torture) and my A* result I got in my English Lit GCSE I am in a very good mood so I think Im going to carry on with it.
"Listen to me," Jonny whispered into Jac's ear. "I want you to sleep in the double bed with me tonight, not buts. It's happening." After several moments of silence, Jac stood up with the help of Jonny and walked towards the double bed. Mo picked up her phone that was now fully charged from the bedside cabinet. She walked over and sat on the single bed.
Jonny carefully placed Jac on the side of the bed closest to the ensuite, and walked out to the kitchen, he came back with the torches and batteries. He set up four torches, one for each of them.
There was a phone ringing in the main room, so Elliot walked in and found that it was the wall phone. He picked it up. After several minutes, Elliot came in the bedroom and unplugged his phone charger. He walked in to find Mo was handing Jac her tablets and water after she had left them in the bathroom.
"That was an automated call, the rain's getting heavier so they're having to turn the water and power off at 10:30pm because the Thames is about to burst it's banks, they advised that we do not leave the hotel for several days, they said it may even be longer depending on when the rain stops. They also said that the toilets run on a different water supply to the taps and showers and that the toilets will still run because the tank is safe from water damage."
"Great." Jonny said as he sat down next to Jac. "Oh crap," Jonny had just remembered something, "my car's screwed."
"Oh god, how are we going to get home?" Jac began to panic,
"Jonny, panicking isn't going to help anyone here." Mo said firmly as she nodded towards Jac.
"Jac it's alright I'm sure Sacha will come and pick us up when the waters gone." Mo said softly.
"No, his car only has 4 seats and there would be five of us." Elliot pointed out.
"Okay then," Mo began as she got angry, she was only trying to calm down Jac, "We can call Michael Spence, he's got a big car. Sorted."
"Right, it's nearly 10:30, shall we just go to bed now?" Elliot asked.
"Good idea prof-"
Mo was interrupted by several flashes of lightening, it was only getting worse. Thunder then came immediately as did a loud car horn and crashing sound. The thunder was still rumbling, Jac hid under the covers again. Jac clung to Jonny's legs, which he had under he duvet on the double bed. She held Jonny's legs tightly and rested her shivering head awkwardly on his lap. Jac then continued to wrap her legs around one of Jonny's legs.
Immediately after hearing the noise, still with the thunder rumbling, Mo pulled back the curtains and looked at the street below, she couldn't see much so she opened the window and stuck her head out.
"Jesus Christ!" Mo exclaimed.
"What is it?" Jonny asked, he wanted to get up but he couldn't move because of Jac, Elliot got up and looked out too.
"Oh my, I think that tree may have been hit by lightening." Elliot stated. Looking out of the window, a tree with a thick trunk had been hit by lightening and fallen down across the road. The tree was almost black and there was smoke and steam coming off of it, obviously the water was cooling it down. The step resets would have been pitch black were it not for the street lights. But then, all of the lights went out, all that could be seen were the headlights of the car.
Luckily the car that sounded the horn hadn't been hit and they simply turned around to go the way that they had come. The water was now nearly touching the pavement, the roads were completely covered by dirty water.
Elliot immediately realised that he shouldn't have said that because Jac let go of Jonny, and ran into the bathroom, shutting the door. She immediately regretted it when she realised that there wasn't a lock so she sat on the floor against the door. Jonny didn't go after her, he joined the other two the window before Mo shut it and pulled the curtains again.
"We really need to get out of here." Jonny stated.
"Yeah well, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon, the waters still rising and if the river is really about to burst then we're going to be here a while." Mo said quietly so that Jac wouldn't hear.
"Don't go sounding too optimistic will you?" Jonny said sarcastically.
"Well it's better that we are realistic. Even if it does stop raining soon which according to the forecast it won't until next Sunday, we will still have to wait for the water to go which could take days, and we will still have to find out whether Michael can pick us up or not."
Jonny rolled his eyes, it looked like they were probably going to spend more than a week here maybe two, and there was still plenty of thunder and lightening on the way. Now he had to try and get Jac out of the bathroom.
