Waterloo Road series 3: Donte rescues Chlo from the toilets!

Chlo was starting to panic. The fire was spreading rapidly and the smoke was slowly starting to suffocate her. she grabbed her bag and searched through it, for her mobile phone. She couldn’t find it, so she tipped the bag upside down and spilled the contents onto the floor. She dropped to her knees to retrieve her phone and dialed a very familiar number.

“Donte?” she cried, after a seconds of waiting for him to answer

“Chlo, where are you?” he asked, the worry clear in his voice

“I’m trapped in the toilets”

“which toilets?” he asked, now frantic with worry.

“the ones next to the canteen. There’s been a huge explosion, the fires in the hallway and I can’t get out!” she cried

“ ok stay there, ok, I’m coming to get you” he said

“please hurry” she said desperately, tears trickling down her face.

“what’s wrong?”asked Mika, who was looking round for her sister.

“its Chlo. She’s trapped in the toilets. I’m going to go get her”

“oh my god”.

Donte set off running towards the back of the school, his right arm covering the side of his face from the ashes and sparks from a few flames nearby. He saw a metal pole resting against the wall. He grabbed it and managed to shove it on top of the flat roof, then heave himself up, just missing Tom Clarkson, Chlo’s stepdad, who was also looking for Chlo. Donte waited until Tom was out of earshot and shouted Chlo’s name repeatedly.

Chlo heard it. she ran to the window what wouldn’t budge.

“DONTE, I’M HERE. GET ME OUT PLEASE” she cried hysterically. Donte’s heart broke to hear Chlo like this. He jumped down off the flat roof, the metal pole in his hand.

“OK, CHLO STAND BACK. I’M GONNA SMASH THE WINDOW IN” he yelled. Chlo did as she was told.

“READY” she screamed, the smoke clouding her vision. She heard the glass smash, she quickly held her hands up to her eyes to stop the shards of glass going in them.

Once the glass was out a few seconds later, Donte, somehow, managed to heave himself up onto the window frame, holding his hands out for Chlo.

“Chlo, come on, baby come on”. Chlo did as she was told. She ran forward and grabbed Donte’s hands, feeling sparks run through her body. She suddenly felt Donte let go of her hands

“ DONTE” she screamed, but then she realized that he had only let go of her hands to get back on the ground. He put his hands on her waist and Chlo managed to get the top half of her body out, then she jumped to the ground, breathing a sigh of relief. She rested her head on Donte’s shoulder for a moment, then looked up at him.

“thank you, Donte” she said. Donte just looked down her, a small smile on his face.

“no problem”

“no, I mean it, you just saved my life. I’m truly thankful for it, especially after what’s happened between us ”.

Donte searched her eyes for any sign that was lying but all he found was trust, love and forgiveness in her green eyes.

“Donte, you okay?” she asked

“I’m sorry”

Chlo looked confused. “for what?”

“for everything that I did. Scaring you and everything”. Chlo knew what he was talking about.

“Donte, that’s in the past, this is the future”. Donte chuckled a bit, then looked deep into Chlo’s eyes. He knew what she wanted more than anything, but it would have to wait till they got away from the burning toilets. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the opposite wall….

“what do you mean you don’t know where Chlo is?” asked a frantic Tom. He was on the verge of running back into the school, when he saw two people walking him. Chlo and Donte. Tom rushed forward and hugged Chlo, while Mika thanked Donte for her sister out safely. A few minutes later, Donte had managed to find a secluded spot where he and Chlo could talk.

“Chlo, listen. I need to say something to you. Firstly, I know that what you did was wrong and that, but it still hurts deep down inside.”. Chlo opened her mouth to say something, but Donte cut her off.

“no listen, but just now when you phoned to tell me you were trapped, I realized that everyone makes mistakes. It was a mistake wasn’t it?”

“of course it was” said Chlo, sounding a little upset. Donte quickly wiped the tear away with his thumb.

“good, cause I was thinking that maybe….. you and me……. Could get back together?” he asked. Chlo smiled, but then it vanished.

“what about Celine?”

“she’s history” whispered Donte, moving in for a kiss, which Chlo responded to. As the kiss get deeper, neither one of them heard Celine walking up. Celine was on her mobile, talking to her mum, when she dropped it. her eyes had to be playing tricks. Donte and Chlo, kissing each other senseless, Chlo’s back on the rather large tree trunk, hands wandering to dangerous zones. Celine picked up her phone, ran back down the hill to the rest of her classmates sank down on the grass, crying.

“Where’s Chlo and Donte?” asked Tom. He was taking the register, only Chlo and Donte hadn’t answered. Mika shrugged her shoulders

“ewwww, not something I need see” said Maxine. Brett, Mika, Tom and Janecce looked in Maxine’s direction. Brett rolled his eyes

“so you and Lewis used to do it” said Janecce. Maxine sent a glare to her.

“so who’s going to break them up?” said Brett. Everyone looked at him.

“not that kind of break up, I meant to stop them kissing?”. Everyone kept staring at him.

“fine, ew.” Brett shook his head while looking back. “He has a hand under her skirt so there is no way I’m doing that now.” Mika sighed. “I’ll do it” she said and walked towards the couple, yanking them apart.

"this isn't a make-out field, now come on" she said. she started off back down the hill, with Donte and Chlo, finally reunited and more in love than ever.
