I passed through the corridor, bumping into my Aunt Peggy who was having an argument with her son, Phil, I smiled at them and walked into the pub. My sister, Roxanne 'Roxy' passed me, she was about to walk through the corridor.
"I wouldn't go through there, it's Aunty Peggy and Phil," I whispered and Aunty Peggy clearly heard and came and closed the door behind the bar.
"I'll use the toilet over there," She laughed, walking into the toilet that was the public one which the customers used. It was Janine and Ryan Molloy's wedding party and Janine jumped up on the settee to make a speach. Pat hushed everyone and we all looked at her. I stood beside my sister, Veronica 'Ronnie' and older cousin Sam.
"I would like to say a few words," Janine began and a couple of people clapped. Ronnie placed her glass on the bar behind us and turned to us.
"Think I'm going to head off now, there's only so much of Janine I can take," Ronnie smiled.
"Go on, I'll come with you and check the baby. That was nobody can say I'm a bad mother," Sam smirked.
"Common then," Ronnie said and they both left.
"I would like to propose a toast, to the best looking man in the room, and he's all mine. To Ryan!" She cheered and people clapped. Janine sat down beside Vanessa Gold and Ryan walked up to them and took a seat beside Janine.
"Peggy," Someone shouted, he was oviously wanting a drink. Peggy walked out into the bar, opening the door then closing it straight away. I walked around the bar and collected a few glasses then took them behind the bar.
"Are you alright Aunty Peg?" I asked.
"I will be, we all will be alright soon," She smiled, pulling me in and kissing my forehead. I turned and smiled at her before she walked back into the corridor.
"What can I get you?" I asked Ricky. He asked for a pint and gave me the exact ammound of money, I poured him his pint and passed it over the bar. I listened carefully in on Phil and Peggy's shouting, they were shouting about the pub and I gathered that Phil was shouting 'burn' but chose to ignore it. Phil walked from behind the door which made me jump, he opened the till and started taking all the notes that were in it out, I dared to ask why. He then marched out the front door and nobody accept me seem to acknowledge that we was there.
"Help, help someone help!" Peggy screamed, running in front of the bar. I grabbed the lmast order bell and rang it to try and get everyone to shut up.
"The pub's on fire, it's on fire," She screamed and everyone shut up. Just then a ball of flames burst through the door and rolled into the pub. I had been blown off my feet and lying on the floor. Immedietly people started screaming, the doors burst open and everyone was trying to get out. I pulled myself up and looked over the bar. I saw Max Branning and Vanessa Gold up and make their way out of the the entrance.
"Go home and call the fire brigade, now!" Masood demanded Dot, pushing her out the door and he came back in and started picking people up that were on the floor.
"Whitney!" Bianca was screaming, searching everywhere in the thick black smoke for her.
"Go Bianca, go!" Ricky was screaming opening the door and pushing her out. I walked along the bar, gobsmacked and in shock. I looked at the burning banners that were on the roof and the fabric on the seats that were being eatten alive by the burning fire. Masood was pushing his family out the door and going bck in to save more people.
"Get out, move!" Aunt Peggy was screaming and everyone was running around, I noticed Jean Slater laying on the floor. Ryan flung Janine over his shoulder like a rag doll, just as the lights fell from the roof and shattered into a thousand peices on the floor. Zaynab bent down and checked if Jean was alright, she had bipolar and nobody know what was going to happen, the whole room was in dark and I didn't know what to do. I was frozen on the spot. Vanessa was screaming for her daughter but Max pushed her back outside, Jean and Zaynab were outside now. The fire was spreadding rappidly and nearly everyone was out. Outside, Ronnie and Sam were approaching the entrance.
"Peggy there's nothing you can do," Pat screamed at Peggy who was staring deeply into the fire. I ran over to Peggy and grabbed her hand, pulling her in front of the bar. Pat walked in front of us, leading us outside.
"Jenna, Peggy!" Ronnie shouted, sprinting over to us. I fell into her arms and cried a little.
"You're safe," She whispered, kissing my head.
"Where's Roxy?" I asked, pulling out of Ronnie's hug and looking around at the crowds of people, I could see everyone accept the one person I needed to see.
