DIAGON ALLEY, EARTHQUAKE
"And you know what? There is not a sale worth going out in this heat, I'm serious!"

Javier grinned, putting up his hands in a defensive manner, "I'm sorry, but I don't need a pair of robes that badly, have you seen those temperatures? I'm surprised Fortescue's is still standing, would've thought they'd have melted awaaaaaay----whoa, what is---"

He gripped onto the desk, eyes widening as he rumbled and rolled away because the fucking building was shaking! Javier let out numerous words that were not politically correct to say on the wireless, and toppled out of his chair, busting his head on the floor. Strings of angry Spanish soared out of his mouth as he crawled up to his knees, and Javier grabbed the microphone.

Through the glass he saw that the other members of his staff were looking like they'd just been shot, and it took Javier a few good seconds to realize what the fuck happened, as another rumbling, rolling coursed through the studio. Javier dropped to the ground, covering his head with his hand as he shouted angrily into the microphone:

"ARE WE EXPERIENCING A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE IN DIAGON ALLEY?"

Jonas skidded on the crumbled pavement and fell on his arse when he reached the guitar case he was looking for. He cried out at the dizzying jab of pain it sent to his aching ribs, but he hugged his chest and crawled anyway. He reached into the case and licked his lips as he tugged the journal free. Jonas dumbly stared at it's unmarred cover before hastily flipping through until he found an entry from the WWN.

"--experiencing an earthquake in Diagon Alley--"

Jonas breathed out a swear and scanned quickly through the comments. He saw nothing about rescue efforts. Digging out a pen, he scribbled out a plea for help. The journal was slammed closed and tucked under his arm. He grimaced as he got to his feet and walked back to Kobe, straining to breath through the pain.

Then he heard her sleepy, slurred singing. Oh, Zeus...

Jonas took off in a sprint. He yelped when he banged a shoulder into the Florean's sign as he rounded it and dropped to Kobe's side; the journal hit the pavement next to him. She was singing that stupid bloody Hogwarts song of all things.

He snorted as he slumped down to sit on his hip and lean over her. "I always tried to come up with new words to that one," he told her as he moved her arms to lay across her torso so she wasn't so sprawled. "Every year. It never was any good," he added with a hiccup of a laugh.

Kobe's eyelids fluttered asynchronously and Jonas's breath hitched out of fear. He scooted himself closer to her and propped himself on an elbow to bring his face near hers, curbing the urge to swear at the searing pain in his side. She was really dying. He didn't know if he could handle this.

"Do you want to hear a song?" he asked quietly, his voice cracking. He clamped his mouth shut to hold back a sob; tears were pricking at his eyes. He gently brushed his palm over her pallid cheek.

"Kobe? Do you want me to sing?" It was the only thing he could think to do. "You have to stay awake, love."

It really didn't hurt anymore, Kobe mused as she watched Jonas talk. She wasn't capturing his words, but she was watching him talk with the utmost interest. He had very pretty lips. Very nice lips. They were probably the reason he had such a lovely singing voice. No, not probably---Kobe was certain his beautiful, perfect lips were the true masters behind the voice she loved.

Do you want me to sing? Kobe's lips curled into a placid smile and she nodded, wondering what he would sing. For her! He was going to sing for her. That was awfully sweet of him. Kobe was glad that Jonas was here, she really was. There weren't any heart wrenching tears, or long, drawn out goodbyes that she could imagine her family dishing out, just...a song. He was going to sing.

Yes, that would be lovely.

"Okay," Jonas breathed out and petted her mussed, blond hair. The bleary smile on her face made him feel sick. "Okay, love," he repeated with a nod and rolled his lips together tightly.

He looked back over his shoulder and willed his band-mate to reappear with an army of mediwizards in-tow, but that was delusion of grandeur. Wincing, Jonas rubbed his shirt sleeve over his wet eyes and turned back to Kobe, who was still blissfully smiling. At first, Jonas completely blanked on a song and simply stroked her hair, but words poured out of him when her eyelids drooped further.

"I've bee so many places in my life and time," Jonas crooned in a raw, shaky voice. It was a Muggle song. One of his favorites and he didn't know why it was the one that came to him, but it had. "I've sung a lot of songs; I've made some bad rhymes..."

"I acted out my love in stages!" His voice loudly cracked and he gasped, but pushed on through the lyrics with a clenched jaw. "With ten thousand people watch--ing."

Jonas drew a harsh, shaky breath and cupped Kobe's face. "But we're alone now," his voice quivered as her eyes closed and her smile softened. "And I'm singing this song for you..."

She stopped moving entirely. Jonas sniffed back his tears and continued to pet her hair. "Kobe?" he quietly prompted. The last of the color had left her complexion. "Kobe!?" he gasped shrilly.

Jonas gripped at the side of her face. His fingertips pushed into wet hair. He drew his hand back and lost the ability to breathe as he stared at his bloody fingers. "Oh, Gods," he woefully sobbed as tears spilled down his cheeks.

Pop! Pop! POP!

Jonas jerked toward the noise and saw that a half a dozen or so Mediwizards had appeared in Diagon Alley.

"Here!" he hoarsely shouted. "Over here!" He was on his knees and waving. Two Mediwizards broke off running in their direction. Jonas sucked for breath as he sobbed. He hoped they were in-time to save Kobe. He didn't know if he could live with himself otherwise.
