Chapter 7 - Chapter 8: Beyond crazy

(Micheal's pov)

There's a fire at the school auditorium. And she's there. 

Her bodyguards didn't see her and other students come out. 

I don't know how I got there. All I knew was that I am losing every second before I get there. 

I have to be there. I have to see her.

She has to be okay. She's fine. She's completely fine.

By the time I reached,  the firemen had nearly extinguished the fire. And some of them are coming out of the auditorium with no one with them. 

Why are they alone? Was there no one in there? And if there's no one in there why did they go for? Where is she?

I felt my senses go all numb. And just then Jacob came to give me the details of the fire. 

"Sir, most of the students and teachers are out of there but some students and HOME is missing. They didn't come out of there. And we didn't find anyone in the auditorium as well. The fireman and the guards are still looking for them" Jacob said with guilt and worries.  But I Don't give a damn and lost all my cool as soon as he said they hadn't found her.

*BAM*..

"Fuck Jacob,  you had to look out for her. Why is she in a situation like this? Call more rescuers if needs. But bring her to me without a single scratch " I said punching him hard. 

All the people around me stared at me. Fuck with them and their curious questioning looks

I need to get her back safe. So, I made a decision. 

"Get the rescuers I am going in."

I got ready with my backups.  I changed myself in a protective suit. The moment I got in, it felt so suffocating to even breath in the suit. 

And that's when I felt the fear. She's here in this situation. And I can't see her. There's no one here. 

Even though the fire was only for a short time. It has burned most of the interiors.

All I can see are cinders. It feels so helpless.

How is this even possible?How can she be so important? We hardly know each other. We didn't even had a decent conversation. 

She has to be safe. We have a very big deal between us. 

"Sir, there's a back-door here through the green room"

"I got my hopes as I called her name with desperation"

All the students are working really hard for their upcoming stage drama. The school decided to use the literature stories to be presented visually through drama. 

The children are  really excited for their performances. The girls in the DIY club also agreed to help with the costumes. 

"Liliiiiiith,  why are these brats so full of energy?" Maria whined lazily. She loves drama but only when she is the audience .

"Or maybe you need to reduce your night routine exercises. You might have enough energy then" 

Maria was really hurt when she was cheated on. But she is trying to recover herself from the heartbreaking.  Though the method is quite ambiguous. 

"Hey, don't judge me there. Sex is  a full proof therapy. It keeps you stress free. It loosens the stiffness in your body. You know what I mean, right?"

I face-palmed myself as I listened to her. But I am relieved that she's doing well. 

Maria kept going on "And why should I keep myself crying over someone who considered me nothing more than a passing cloud" Maria lowered her voice with every word.

"Hey, let assholes be assholes. You can still marry me at the end you know"

And the students started to cheer and whistle around us overhearing us. 

But before the cheerful atmosphere could stop there was a sudden scream. 

The students all started panicking. The fire was sudden and very quick.  

The present teachers all evacuated the students from the auditorium. But half of the students and us couldn't take the front door.

We took the back door through the green room. It led us to the back of the school where we have a botanic garden. 

The kids were really terrified and exhausted.I was too. Thankfully all the students are fine. 

But we decided to wait here a bit before the fireman's come. We can't take the risk of taking a round around the auditorium to get to the front. 

The others might be really worried. But we lost all our cellphones in there. We all kept them away for the rehearsal. 

Now, we just have to wait before the fireman's come.

"I think we can turn around now. The fire is already extinguished." Maria told me making sure it was safe to go now.

"Kids! Saty together with us. Let's go now"

We all huddled together and was just ready to leave. When suddenly I heard my name shouting.

"Liliiiiiith! 

And unknowingly I answered to the call.

"Here! I am here." 

Then we saw some people in fire protective suits to come out of the backdoor. But the one on the front came running toward us as he dropped his head wear. 

It took me a few moments to recognize him before he held me in his arms.

And that's when I recognised him. It's the red eyed pervert. But damn he's handsome as hell.
