CHAPTER 8

A few minutes later, as I was coughing my lungs out from all of the smoke and gasoline, I tried wiggling out of the tight ropes that held me to the chair but I had no luck. Then I heard a loud BOOM! I started to scream for help but my lungs got too filled with smoke so I stopped. I knew it was the end especially because I couldn't scream for help anymore. My eyes started to close but something told me to keep them open for just a while longer. Through all of my tears, I saw a blurred figure in front of me. I knew it wasn't Dakota or Madison. The face finally cleared up. IT WAS JACK!

"Jack! Help me! Untie me, please!" I screamed crying some more.

"I'm coming, Lexy!" He avoided the fire and came to the chair that I was tied up in. He quickly untied me and let me free. I then blacked out from all of the fumes.

************************************

The next thing I remember, I was waking up in a hospital, my mom and dad holding my hands. I slowly opened my eyes.

"Oh Sweetheart!" My mother screamed for joy.

"Mom, not so loud! Where am I?" I asked, confused and still not fully myself yet.

"Well sweetie." My dad started. "What do you remember?"

"Well, I remember that Madison kidnapped me. Dakota was there. They said they were gonna hurt me and that they were gonna take Jack away from me so Dakota could have him. And then they set a gasoline fire. Oh My Gosh! Is this heaven?!"

"No hunny." My mom sort of laughed. "Jack came in and saved you. You inhaled a lot of fumes and smoke so you passed out but Jack grabbed you and quickly escaped. He called the cops and us. He saved you, Sweetie."

"If you dont mind. Mom. Dad. Can I see him?"

"Of course." My dad said and walked out of the room for a moment. When he returned, Jack was following. Except he didn't really look like Jack. He looked tired and had dirt everywhere. He basically looked exhausted. He gave me a smile and sat down on the edge of my bed. But before he could say anything, a police officer came in.

"Lexy Gold?" The thin looking cop said.

"Yeah?" I asked suspiciously.

"We caught Madison Hall and Dakota Matthews. They were caught stealing some merchendice from a store. That's about the time that we got the call that you were found. Well, you'll probably have to court against them. Your lawyer will call you with the details."

"Okay. Is that it?"

"Yes, Miss Gold. On behalf of the Manhattan police squad, we're glad you're okay and we thank you for helping us catch these girls. We've been trying for a very long time." He gave me one last smile and then left.

By that time everyone had left except Jack. "Thank you, Jack, for saving my life and everything. I'm sorry for everything. I should've let you explain."

"Then, I will now. Lexy, when you followed me me that night, well, you just saw the very end of the conversation that Dakota and I had. I saw her and told her to make it quick because I didn't want you to get mad. She started trashing on you and I told her to stop but she wouldn't. I just got mad and she just got worse. She finally came over to me and pulled me to her. And then she kissed me. I was about to pull away but the we heard you crying. I'm so sorry, Lexy. I didn't want to hurt you. But you didn't let me explain. I'm so sorry."

"Oh My Gosh, Jack! I'm so sorry! I guess I didn't want to hear it. When I saw you two together, it was the worst moment of my life. Well, up until I got kidnapped."

"I would never mean to hurt you on purpose, Lexy. I never ever like Dakota. I never even noticed her looks. It was just a friendship thing. But you dont have to worry. We aren't anymore."

"Gee, I would hope not." I said sarcastically.

"So, are we okay now?" He asked.

"Yeah, we're okay again."

He reached over and took my hand. "I love you, Lexy."

"I love you too, Jack." For a few minutes we just stared at eachother and just smiled. But then Jack looked at his watch.

"Well, I hate to do this to you but I gotta get going. I promised my mom that I would be home soon. She doesn't want me to be in any more trouble. But I wrote this for you." and he handed me a piece of paper. The we said our good-bye's and he left. I opened the piece of paper and it was a song. The title was Two Tears. It read:

I'm sorry if I made you cry
I'm sorry if tears fell from your eyes
I'm sorry if I hurt you
For that was not at all what I intended to do

But just remember
For every tear that falls
From your eyes
Two tears fall from mine

I never wanted to hurt you baby
I never wanted those tears to fall
I never wanted to make you cry
I guess I should have taken a little more time

For every tear that you cry
Two tears fall from mine
For every tear that you cry
Two tears fall from mine

For every tear that you cry
For every tear that you cry
Two tears fall from mine After I read it I started crying. I knew that's how he really felt and that made me very happy.
