'P-Perri?'

Lucky With Time~ Perri Kiely

I wake up on Perri's chest, exactly how I imagined yesterday when I was walking the rain, but i obviously didn't think it would be reality not for the next morning, or a long time.

He had his bare arm wrapped round me, I look up and see his still fast asleep. I imagine how many girls would want to be in my shoes right now and I couldn't blame them, not for a second, I just want it to be like this forever...

'Mmm,'He groans and rubs his eyes under his glasses,

'You forgot to take your glasses off?'

'Yeah and I forgot to tie my hair up and it feels disgusting,' He replies in pillow talk.

Oh my God, sometimes he still gives me butterflies,

'You can jump in the shower if you want,' I smile,

'Sure?'

'Yeah of course you can,' I chuckle, you don't even have to ask, 'You can go after breakfast,'

'Okay gorgeous,' He smirks, he knows I hate that because it makes me blush and I really can't take a compliment.

I smile and shake my head, I turn to crawl off the other end of the bed but he pulls my legs back, causing me to face plant the mattress,

'I swear to God,' I leap up and sit on him, I playfully punch him in the arm,

'Ow!' He yells, I shake my head once again and climb off him, I pull on my dressing gown and pick up his clothes that he left on the floor the night before.

'Want these washing?'

'Yeah please babe,' He says, his voice was still deep and raspy as he's still just woken up,

I walk downstairs and wait for Perri to get up. I load the washing machine with both of our clothes and put the kettle on.

'Morning,'Joe says enthusiastically,

'Morning,' I say bluntly,

'Just been putting petrol in the motorbike,'

'Cool?'

He takes the tub of petrol and puts it on the kitchen worktop,

'Morning Joe,' Perri says, rubbing his eyes and walking through the door with joggers and no top on,

'Morning Perri,'He practically sings,

Perri approaches me from behind while I'm gettin pancake mixture ready, he wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my neck softly,

'Oh for God's sake!' We hear Joe curse, causing us both to jump, turns out he'd spilt his petrol all over the kitchen worktop,

'I'll clean it up in a minute,' He huffs and storms out into the garden for a cigarette,

I shake my head and carry on with the pancakes, Perri helping me.

-

We take our breakfast into the living room and sit and eat it whilst watching Jeremy Kyle.

Minutes later I see Perri sniffing up as if he could smell a weird smell,

'What's up?' I ask, stuffing my face with pancakes,

'Can you smell that?'

'What?'

'Smells like, oh i don't know, doesn't matter,' I shake my head at him and concentrate on the show.

When it finishes, Perri stands up and throws his top over his head,

'Give us your plate, I'll take it out,' He approaches me,

'Thank you,' I smile.

I reach over for the remote that Perri was previously sat on, I flick through the shows 'til I get to-

'KACEY GET OUT!' Perri came in and ran towards me,

'W-what?'I stand up, oblivious as to what's going on,

'KACEY THE PETROL AND THE GAS!' His shouting makes me more scared, he runs towards me but as he's halfway across the room-

---

Narrator's POV

As Joe didn't clean up the petrol as soon as it spilt, it caused the gas that was left on by mistake to blow up.

--

Perri's POV

I wake up, surrounded by rubble and wooden beams and it takes me a while to realise what happened, I squint my eyes and rub my forehead as I sit up slowly, however I'm stopped by a huge wooden beam that's trapped my leg underneath. I heave and heave but it won't budge,

'KACEY!' I shout, using every last bit of breath in my lungs, but she doesn't reply and this triggers my anxiety,

'KACEYYY!' I cry. With a motive of finding my girlfriend, I use all my strength to push the beam and eventually it slightly moves just enough for me to wriggle my legs through.

I feel a huge pain in my stomach and look down to see something had been wedged in my stomach and I was bleeding rapidly. Still rushing to find Kacey, I tear a piece of material from my T-shirt and wrap it tightly around my waist in attempt to stop it.

'KACEY!' I cry, I break down crying and lift up pieces of wood, after minutes of searching, I make my way into what used to be the other side of the living room and see a hand, laying lifelessly,but covering the rest of the body was huge wooden beams, I move a piece of wood to see the bracelet I bought her for Prom on her wrist, It was Kacey.

'Kacey,' I whine, shaking my head, not wanting to believe what's happened, there's so way she could have survived that.

I break down on the floor next to her covered body, I start crying hysterically and hold her hand.

I cry for minutes until I see the only thing I wanted to,

Her finger twitched, it's not much, but enough to know she's alive.

I vigorously pull all the wood off of her until I see her face, but her eyes are closed.

I manage to get all the wood off her and I bend down, lifting her body onto my knee,

'Kace...Kace?' I shake her lightly, I put my cheek next to her mouth and feel her breath,

I sit there for a minute until I see her eyes twitch,

'Kacey?' I question in hope,

Then she coughs and opens her eyes,

'P-Perri?'

'Kace?'I sigh and hug her tightly,

'I thought I lost you,' I whisper into her ear, he breaks down crying and hugs me tighter than she ever has before

'Joe,' She whispers,

'I should find him,' I mumble, 'Can you get up,'

She wraps her arm around my shoulder and I slowly help her up,

'My ankle, it's- it's stuck' She winces,

'Can you wait here I'll come back, I promise?'

'Yeah,' she smiles, 'Go and find Joe,'

Kaceys POV

'I love you,' He whispers, but he says it like he really, really means it

'I love you too Perri,' I wrap my arms round him and hug him tight, he kisses me softly on the lips then turns round, climbing over the rubble to head out and find Joe.

I can't believe it, I can't believe what's just happened. My home.

I hear a loud creaking sound from above me, I look up slowly, dreading what I would see.

I knew it, it was my fate. A huge pipe was above me but my foot was stuck underneath a load of bricks,

'PERRI!' I scream at the top of my lungs.

The huge thick pipe was getting closer and closer to the end...

Perris POV

I stumble around until I get outside, which was still full of bricks and stuff from the house.

And then I see him, Joe.

He was definitely dead, the way his body was, I don't even want to explain,

'Oh my God,' I mutter,

'PERRI!' I hear Kacey scream,

'KACEY!' I yell and turn back round,

With all the energy I have left, I sprint back through the house to where I left Kacey,only to find her sitting there, sobbing. I wonder what for until I look up and see a huge pipe about to fall, I look back to her and see her desperately yanking her buried ankle from all the rubble,

'No, no,'I whisper, I contemplate what to do, if I do nothing I will stand here and watch my girlfriend die right in front of me, the girl who changed my life. She made me realise that there's more to life than just fame, she's also put her trust in me, relying on me and telling me things she's never told anyone else. I nearly lost her yesterday over an argument, I won't risk it again...

I dive over to her and stand directly under the pipe with my arms up to stop it falling from her,

'PERRI NO!' She cries,

'Kacey just get your foot out,'

'Perriiii,' She cries hysterically, but yanks her foot vigorously.

After several attempts, the bricks give way and she heaves her leg up,

'OW!' She yells,

'Kacey just get out!'

Still crying she crawls from underneath me, pulling me away with her.

I dive away and within a split-second the pipe falls right in front of us,

If I'd have been a second later we both would've been crushed.

I turn to look at Kacey to see if she's okay

'No,'

She was laying there unconscious with a huge pool of blood forming next to her head,

'No, Kacey, no,' I lift her body gently but she doesn't wake up,

'Kacey come on,' tears form in my eyes once again,

'Kacee,' I antagonize,

From outside I hear loads of sirens,

'IN HERE!' I yell, my voice breaking as I was crying,

I hear shuffling around, then see three or four fire brigades climbing over huge piles of bricks,

I grip Kacey and hug her tightly and begin sobbing,

'My name's Michelle, I'm a fire brigade, can you tell me your name please,' She talks to me as if I'm a child,

I don't listen to her, I'm focused Kacey.

I sob and shake my head in disbelief, I place my cheek next to her mouth but I don't feel her breath,

'Can you tell me your names please sir,' She asks again,

'M-my names Perri, a-and she's called Kacey,'

'And I assume she's your girlfriend,'

I nod my head and begin to cry again,

'Perri, sorry but we're going to have to bring you out, it's unsafe in here,' Another man says,

'No,' I demand, unwilling to let her go, 'I can't leave her, I promised I'd take care of her,'

'We can do that sir,'

'There's a man,' I whisper,

'Excuse me?'

'Her mums boyfriend, I found him but he's dead, he's in the garden,' Two men rush off immediately, presumably to find him,

As they leave, three paramedics enter,

'He won't let her go,' Michelle mumbles to the paramedics,

'Okay son, would you feel better if you picked her up and brought her out of the house,' I recollect myself and nod my head. I stand up slowly and lift her limp body into my arms, I turn to the people and they're nodding their heads, they lead me out of the house from the way they must have used to get in.

As I'm walking, I make sure to watch my step incase I fall with her in my arms,

I walk out of the house and see a huge crowd surrounding the house, Kaceys Mum was also there,

'NO,' She sobs into Malin's Mum's shoulder, who's crying too.

The crowd cheers as if I'm some sort of hero.

Kimberly rushes towards me but a policeman stops her immediately.

'Ma'am, please,' He nods his head sympathetically

'She's my daughter !' She yells, then returns to the comfort of her friends arm,

I walk slowly towards the ambulance van, dreading letting her go,

'Please let me come,' I beg as they take her out of my arms and placing her on a stretcher, several paramedics rush over to her, pushing me away but I look round to see them giving her CPR for what seems like hours,

'Come on Kace, come on you can do this,' I whisper,

'She's breathing,' A paramedic announces,

I break down onto the floor in relief and Kimberly rushes towards me, hugging me tightly,

'Thank you, thank you Perri,'

'PEL!' I hear a familiar voice yell,

'ASH!' I jump up and run towards him, he wraps his huge arms around me and squeezes me tightly,

'I'm sorry bro,' He whispers in tears,

All the boys jump out the car and run towards me, I'm still crying at this point,

'Is she okay?' Jordan asks in worry,

'She's breathing,'

'Oh God, I'm so sorry bro,' Terry hugs me,

'Are you okay Pel' Mitchell approaches me,

'WOAH WHAT THE!' Ashley points at my stomach and all the other boys start shouting,

Three paramedics immediately rush over to me with a stretcher and push me down on it, ripping off my T-shirt and mumbling to each other whilst they rush me into the same ambulance van as Kacey, Ashley comes with me because he's always taken care of me and helped me through anything before I met Kacey.

I feel myself losing consciousness and swaying my head from side to side,

'Pel, Pel,' I hear Ash worrying,

'He's fine, he's just tired,' One of the paramedics reassure Ash and he sits back down,

I turn my head to see Kacey, she has one of those air mask things on and she's still unconscious, I manage to give Kimberly a small smile and she smiles back,

'Stay strong Perri,' She smiles,

I look down and see Kaceys hand to the side of the bed, I reach for it and hold it in my own. Then I feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Kaceys POV

I wake up in a hospital bed with loads of drips and pegs attached to me, I see my Mum to the side of me but I don't have enough energy to speak, so I squeeze her hand.

'Kacey? Oh my God Kacey!' My mum jumps out of her seat and presses my buzzer and a nurse comes rushing in,

'W-what happened, Why am i here?' I mumble,

'Kacey I'm afraid we have some terrible news,' The nurse says sternly, completely wiping the smile off my Mum's face,

'I assume you don't remember anything that happened,'

I shake my head,

'Kacey, can you tell me what year it is sweetheart,'

What a stupid question, how is this telling me bad news?

'Yeah, it's 2009'

----

Perri's POV

They bandaged me up and discharged me as soon as I woke up, they just gave me some antibiotics and a few stitches,

The second I left my room I was greeted by the boys,

'Where's Kacey?' I asked, unintentionally ignoring all of their questions,

'She's in critical,' Ashley sighs,

'CRITICAL!' I shout,

I sprint off and round all the wards until I look into all the rooms until I see her, laying there, Kimberly next to her asleep.

I try to enter but the nurse won't let me in,

'She needs rest,' She says kindly,

'When will she wake up?'

'I can't say, but she's not in a coma if that's what you mean, she'll come around at some point today,'

'Thank you,' I sigh and sit down onto the chair outside the room,

I sense movement and turn my head to see the boys walking towards me,

'You need to take it easy Pel, you got injured real bad too,' Mitchell informs me as if I didn't already know,

'You guys should go, you've been here all night,'

'Yeah you guys go,' Ash agrees, we'll let you know if anything changes,

They all nod and say goodbye and I'm left with Ash and Jord.

---

After hours and hours of waiting, Kimberly slowly walked out of the room, and she looked heart-broken,

I jump up immediately and run towards her,

'Kim what's up,' She shakes her head and walks away down the corridor,

'Well can I see her?' I ask the nurse,

'Yes but only you for now, she's awake,'

'Thank you,' I bolt for the door,

'I'm sorry,' She mutters under her breath,

'What?' She doesn't answer so I ignore her and enter the room, closing the door gently behind me,

I take one look at her and it breaks my heart, seeing her laying there attached to loads of drips.

'Hey gorgeous,I'm so glad you're okay,' I smile and hold her hand,

But she pulls away,

'I'm sorry, I-I don't know you?' She asks in confusion,

At that moment, I feel my heart shatter into a million pieces,

'Kace, it's me, it's Pel,'

She shakes her head,

'I'm sorry,' She whispers,

'Kacey I'm Perri, your boyfriend,'

'Oh my God,' She mutters,

'Do you remember,'

'No I'm sorry, I don't,'

Then I get an idea, I take out my phone and show her all of the pictures of us,

'That's not me,' I laugh,

'Kacey it's 2016, you're 16,'

'No!' She gasps

'We met by bumping into each other outside of your school and I helped you up,' I figured that by telling her every detail, it may help,

'I saw you again in the park and you told me about your Dad and started crying about what your stepdad had done-'

'Wait, what happened to my Dad?'

'Oh my God, she doesn't remember that far, how am I going to tell her.

No,it's not my place.

I get up and open the door,

'Kim, you need to tell her about her dad,'

'She doesn't remember?' Kim gasps, 'Of course she doesn't, she thinks it's 2009, he died in 2011,' She walks into the room and I wait until the door closes before I break down,

'She doesn't remember,' I sob int Ashley's shoulder,

'Oh Pel,'
