Chapter 45 - Havoc

'Uhh...what was that?' Nolan stuttered. A lady ran through one of the back doors.

'Some kids were playing with fire works, the whole back half of the building is up in flames.' She shouted. Everything happened very quickly. Everyone was running everywhere. My only thought prosess was to get Diego the hell out of there so I ran outside. I found James.

'Arabelle are you ok?' He worriedly asked. I sadly nodded and looked back at the building up in flame.

'Callum.' I muttered under my breath.

'Callum!' I yelled and quickly gave Diego to James before running off into the building but James grabbed my wrist with his free hand, the other was holding Diego.

'No! Arabelle it's too dangerous!' He shook his head. I just but burst into tears. James hugged me tight with his one arm. I couldn't look away from the burning building. Then Nolan hobbled out, coughing with Callum's arm wrapped around his neck. Callum head was drooping and he was finding it hard to walk. He wad shirtless and didn't have his lace top on any more. But, there was a burn across his chest and torso. They had only just made it to us when the building pretty much exploded. He slumped onto the ground when they stopped. I knelt down in front of him and lifted his head up to look at mine. His eyes were tired but he looked at me and smiled.

'Arabelle.' He muttered before falling unconscious on my chest. I got up and hugged Nolan.

'Thank you so much.' I said.

James handed Diego back to me and made many phone calls. Nolan picked Callum up and and carried him in his arms. A couple seconds later I saw a familiar car pull up and Dieter darted out and hugged me and Diego tighter then he ever has.

'Are you ok my sweetheart.' His voice was shakey and weak.

'I'm fine gummie.' My voice was just as shakey. He saw Callum sat on Nolans lap, wrapped in Nolan's jacket and sleeping.

'Is Callum ok?' He asked.

'Yeah, just some burns.' I cuddled him. Then Dieter's dad arrived with Mr Fletcher. Cain came straight over to us. It was the most serious I'd ever seen him.

'Arabelle, my love are you ok?' He asked.

'I'm fine.' I smiled.

'and your brother?'

'We're all ok.'

'Pass me the boy.' He motioned to Diego.

'No dad it's fin-' Dieter started to say.

'No, you need to be alone tonight.' He took Diego and headed back to Mr Fletcher. Nolan came up behind us, Callum still in his arms.

'I'll take him to mine and take care of him.' He said.

'Are you sure, does he need to be checked up.' I asked. He glanced at the burns on his chest.

'Although they will probably scar, they're not as serious as they look. They're easy to treat with a simple clean and bandage.' He explained. We both looked at him.

'You sound like you know what your doing.' Dieter said. Nolan chuckled.

'I'm a nurse at the east hospital.' He said.

'That makes sense.' I laughed. So Nolan took Callum home and Cain took Diego and Dieter drove me back home. I got home and sat on the sofa. I felt the tears well up in my eyes and trickle down my cheeks again. Dieter came through and sat next to me.

'Come here lovely.' He pulled me close with one arm and I fell asleep cuddled up to him.
