Just so you know, chapter 21 & 22 (which ive yet to write) will be happening simultaneously. This one is of Mo and Jonny, the next one will be of Jac and Elliot.

Jonny watched as he got further and further away from Jac and his unborn child. He regretted going first and leaving her, more so as every second ticked past. A the boat picked up speed, it began hopping along the water, coming down with a big splash each time it leaped out of the water. Jonny didn't even acknowledge the fact that Mo put her arm around Jonny's waist. He just stared ahead, hoping that all five of them, would make it back to Holby alive.


After a tiring 15 minutes of holding on tightly to the boat, they pulled up alongside a wet plastic jetty. Despite the risen river, it was floating because it would, no matter how high the water got. Helped by the RNLI men, Jonny and Mo clambered onto it. Their numb bodies were escorted by paramedics.

"I promise..." Jac's words kept on echoing through his head. She promised she would be careful and stay safe. If anything happened to her... But he hadn't told her what he wanted to say; he loved her. "I promise..." What if something happened before the boat got there? What if she was swept away by the water as she attempted to swim to the boat?

The next thing Jonny remembered was being sat in an ambulance next to his friend on a trolley with their numb legs dangling over the were both put in the same one; he remembered someone saying something about a lack of resources... He remembered them both taking off their dripping wet clothing until they were in their underwear (and bra for Mo) and then being wrapped in separate heat retaining, foil blankets. He remembered hearing his temperature; thirty one point something... He remembered his friends being something similar to his.

Everything after that was a blur...

Thanks for reading :) I know it's been a while but I've kind of had writing block for this fic. But anyway, I know it's short but if i get to over 100 reviews, ill update the next chapter tonight. Thanks x
