Embers

I think...

I burst into the house and bit back a scream. A ceiling support beam lay on the floor with wood dust still settling around it in a shower of ash brown. Rubble settled around it and the room was in disarray, tables knocked over and old wood from ceiling beams littering the floor. A man I didn't recognise was collapsed against the wall with a nasty welt on his forehead and a vaguely familiar woman lay deathly pale and unconscious, swaddled in a dark blue blanket despite the perspiration on her brow. McKenna lay amongst the rubble with blood seeping from her side. But my eyes passed over all that within a second, settling on a familiar body sprawled beneath the closest support beam. A giant fist squeezed my heart and I couldn't breathe.

"Allen!" I breathed rushing to his side. He was flattened face first on the floor with the heavy beam weighing down his shoulders. Sobbing and feeling my chest be crushed as if the beam was on my own shoulders I hefted the wood off him. "Allen?" I sobbed, rolling him onto his back. He was pale and with my hand on his wrist I couldn't make out a pulse. "Allen? No no no no no you can't do this to me! Allen you can't go! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." My breath choked in my throat and I smacked his chest in frustration. "You idiot! You f- How could you? Haven't you seen a single movie? Splitting up always ends badly and well, look at you, you're- well... You creep! You idiot! I hate you! I hate you! I..." My rage faded into tears and I buried my face into his shirt, gripping onto his arms like I never would let them go. "I think I love you..." I whispered. "So don't you dare die."

I don't know how long I was sobbing on the floor before the old man in thr corner stirred.

"Wh- what?" He asked.

I looked up, scrubbing at my eyes and blinking furiously. The man had dark shaggy hair and a beard of tangled curls. His dark eyes locked on mine in confusion. "Who are you?" He asked me.

"Dove." I sniffed. "Dove Valdez. Why?"

His face lit up as if someone had struck a match inside of him. "Valdez?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yeah... Why? What's it to you?" I stood between him and Allen in defiance.

"My name is Leo." He said, an idiotic grin glinting through his beard. "Leo Valdez. Your dad."

I shook my head. "That's impossible, you're dead. You and..." I looked at the woman on the couch and my eyes widened. "Aunt Kat?"

He crossed the distance between us and crushed me in a hug. Tears threatened to flow again. "You're real?" I asked.

"I am." He said. "Oh Dove, I thought I'd never get to see you."

There was the creak of the door being opened behind us.

"Oh gods." Jack said.

"Jack." I said.

"Jack?" Leo asked.

"My Jack." Aunt Kat croaked.

"Mum?" Jack asked, rushing to her side but my dad stopped him.

"She's got the plague. You can't touch her." He said.

Jack sucked in a shaky breath. "We need to get out of here. All of us."

"Why?"! I asked and I was answered by the scream of police sirens.

Who? Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with the Maury Povich show that this site has turned into as of late. (For you, the New Zealander, the Maury Povich Show is a dramatic relationship-ruining talk show where deadbeat dads have to face the fact that they have to pay child support. Look it up, the stuff's hilarious.)
