But Baby 2 (Brad Simpson Fanfic)

Chapter 30

"Miss Collins, do you remember what happened?" I blink slowly, my eyes drifting to the slightly overweight police inspector in front of me. I shake my head, biting down on my lip "I only went to get a drink, I didn't think anything would happen"
"But did you light the candles"
"Yeah, but they weren't near anything, they were in little pots, they couldn't set fire to anything " my voice cracks,  my thoughts traveling back to the events that happened merely hours before. The shock was still only settling in, the idea my children could have been killed, was one that hurt me. I couldn't understand how the fire started, there was no way it could have started purely by mistake.
"Miss Collins, can you tell me what happened, what you remember?"
I nod my head slightly, swallowing "I woke up and needed some water, so i went downstairs and got some, then i went back upstairs, I remember seeing Daisy - thats Bradley's girlfriend, and then i remember feeling really warm and thats when i found the fire in my room"
"And what was Daisy doing?"
"I don't know, I think she had gone to the bathroom or something? I honestly don't know, she was just going back into her room" I look back up, and watch as the inspector writes some notes, "Thank You Miss Collins, you can go now, we'll be in contact shortly, is there someone who can take you home?"
"Yeah, my Mum, she's in the waiting room" he nods, standing up and opening the door, allowing me through before closing it behind me.

I shuffle through the corridor, falling into my mum's arms, sobbing quietly into her chest. She hushes me, running a hand through my hair, "Brad and Daisy are both stable, Bradley's mum rang me, come on, lets go back to my house, you need some sleep"
I nod weakly, pulling away and lifting a sleeping Ellie off the chair, placing her on my hip. I watch as my Mum juggles Jo and Thomas in her arms, and begins to leave the police station, and I scuff my feet behind her.

"Zo, zoe, come on, you can't sleep on the sofa, the kids are all fast asleep, you can have my bed tonight, i'll keep an eye on everything "
I open my eyes slightly, watching my Mums mouth move, before shaking my head, and pulling the blanket further up my body. I hear her sigh, and feel her readjust the blanket around my body, before leaving the room and closing the living room door.
That's when I know i'm in the safe, and quickly the tears begin to fall, I'd be the one to blame for the fire, I'd be the one to blame if someone died.
My heart race quickens at the thought of losing Brad, he means so much to me, and I couldn't bare to think of the idea that the kids could grow up with out a dad.
The entire night is spent panicking, calming, crying and repeating, silently hoping nobody hears me.
