Chapter 13 - Just a Kiss (Jakes POV)
Sometimes
a kiss is the only thing that ever gets me through my day, and lately
kisses are the only thing I think of. That's right I had a new girl in
his life and well, what can I say, I can't get enough of her.
I
met Kiara at a club one night and from then I haven't let her go and I
don't plan too. That girl was a firecracker and I love her with my whole
being. We connect on a level I never thought possible.
If you
would have asked me several months ago about love, I would have told you
that it wasn't in the stars for me. That I had loved a girl and she
didn't return that love for me. She now loves another man and I'm happy
for her, don't like the guy to much, but she is happy so I can't do much
about it.
Thinking about everything that had happened was
torturing me right now. I wanted more than anything to kiss my girl
right now, but taking in my surroundings right now I'm not sure that
will happen.
"I'm always careful you know that." I winked at her and ran from the room yelling the rest of it. "I love you too, beautiful."
I
made it to the door and could feel her beautiful eyes on me as I made
it to my car. I loved her more than I had ever loved anything in my
life. She was the flame I never wanted to put out. She was my flame.
Getting
in my truck, I headed toward the fire that was already happening and we
had been called in for back up. A firefighter was down and stuck in the
fire. Which is something that no firefighter wants to hear.
I
pushed the gas peddle to the floor as soon as I heard the call go out
for even more Firefighters, something big was happening and it was at
the packaging company in the business district of Forks.
Once
I pulled up to the scene I realized why so many firefighters had been
called in. The place was huge and I could see the flames shooting out of
every single window and the roof from a mile away. As soon as I slammed
my truck into park, I jumped out and put on my gear right away. I had
to find my chief and see what he wanted me to do.
"Jake, there you are. Alright, we need you to go in with this team here and see if you can help find the guy that is missing."
Nodding, I looked around at my crew members that were going to into that fiery hell and turned back around to my chief.
"Harry, Whose missing?"
At
first he wouldn't answer me and my stomach hit the ground once the name
came out of his mouth. I thought for sure it was one of our crew.
"Edward
Cullen is the one missing. He is trapped and has called in to say there
is no way he will be able to get out. He is trapped on all sides by
cave ins. We need you to go in and try to cut your way through to him.
We have to get him out of there Jake. It's our job to get him out. No
Firefighter is going to die on my watch."
I was in shock
at first, till I heard that we had to move and get going. Shaking the
thought of Bella off, I ran into the building, placing my oxygen mask on
as soon as I came up to the building entrance.
Running
into that building, I knew we were going to get Cullen out and it was
all going to be okay. I knew it deep down, what I didn't know was what
would happen once we did get in there.
Everything was
aflame, every direction I looked were flames flaring at my face, I was
glad when the other guys said Cullen was supposed to be this way and I
just followed them. Once we made it to where he was supposed to be, we
saw the cave in that we were told about. There was no way we were going
to be able to cut through it all in time. But I knew we had to. We had
to get him out of there. Bella would not be able to take losing anyone
else.
"Give me the saw." I yelled to the guy next to me.
Once I had it in my hand I started sawing away at the debris. It was
slow go and it kept cutting the blades.
"DAMN IT! Go out
and get more blades and another saw. FUCK!" I yelled. Edward was right
on the other side of this debris and I was going to get through this no
matter what.
Once the new blades got in the building we
went back to cutting the debris, we were getting closer and closer, I
could actually hear him yelling into us. Telling us to hurry that the
flames were getting into the room he was in. So I tried to hurry as fast
as I could, but it just wasn't working. The last couple pieces were the
worst and I had broke another four blades.
"Edward, can you hear me. How close? This keeps busting the blades, I'm trying."
"Too close, keep trying." He yelled back to me. But his breathing was labored, and it didn't sound good.
"Edward, use your oxygen."
"Can't
it's busted, I fell from the fourteenth floor, I can barely move my
legs and the oxygen tank is busted completely. Just keep cutting." He
wheezed.
"FUCK," I yelled, as I kept cutting.
I had to make it through this shit. One last cut was all it took and I could see Edward on the floor.
"Edward can you see me? Listen, can you move at all?" I tried to talk to him, but he wasn't answering. "EDWARD,"
"Guys
he's out, take this so we can drag him out." I shouted. Handing the saw
over to the fireman beside me, I didn't even have time to see who it
was, I knelt down and tried to reach him, but couldn't get my arms
around his body to grab him. So I crawled into the room with him and
grabbed his body, dragging it over the hole and pushed him through to
the other guys.
"Take him," I told them. "Hurry, get him
out of here." I yelled to them. They grabbed him and rushed out of the
room. Not even realizing I hadn't crawled back through.
Struggling
to crawl back through the hole we had cut out to get to Cullen, I could
feel the flames licking at my skin, trying to hurry up I felt the dust
of the rubble fall onto my neck. Pulling my legs out as fast as I could,
I wasn't fast enough, the rubble fell crushing my legs making me scream
out in pain.
I was the one trapped now.
"HElP!" I
screamed over and over, but no one could hear me. The heat of the flames
were right at my feet and I knew it was over. I did my job.
I got Cullen out, I was the good firefighter.
