-Chris's POV-

I awoke in the same position as we did when we passed out a couple of hours.
I doubled up the covers and placed it over still sleeping Maddy and kissed her cheek.
I knew it was time to see the damage of the living room.
I am more emotional that angry to be honest with you.
I just want to know who done it. This was no accident. I hid the matches and candles in my office which had stayed untouched.
I opened the door and stepped into the room.
The smell of smoke and coal filled my lungs.
It smelled like a smoke shop which made me sick.
I looked around the black stained walls, the sofa was destroyed and the coffee table was half burnt.
I had flashbacks of all the memories we had in this living room.
Like maddy's first birthday,
The first time Madelyn stepped foot in this house.
I put my hand on my heart and I took it all in for a moment.
Tears shot my eyes.
I felt a pair of arms wrap round my leg.
I looked down to see Maddy.
"Sowwy Chwis"
"That's okay Madelyn the place needed re decorating Anyways right?" I smiled sniffling, wiping my tears,
"Dis house was beautiful. I never told you this but this was my favourite room in the house"
"And why is that" I said putting my hand at the back of her head.
"We had so much fun in this room. I never had fun before until you came." She said looking up with me with a big hazel orbs.
"I had a lot of fun too Maddy doll" I smiled tears streaming down my cheeks.
I began to look through the rubble to find anything salvageable.
Maddy did also.
I found practically nothing,
However I did find some burnt drawings that Maddy did that had fallen off the fridge.
I put them in my back pocket of my jeans.
I heard Maddy whimper and cry from behind me.
She was kneeled down.
"Aww Maddy don't worry I'll get you a new toy"
She shook her head and sniffled.
She stood up and handed me the smashed photo frame of me and my sister.
I looked at her sadly.
She wiped her tears, "it's just- it's so sad cause dis meant a lot to you and it's broken"
I sighed and picked her up and she cried in her shoulder,
I took her outside onto the porch for her to get some air and sat her on the swing bench.
I sat next to her holding the broken frame and damaged picture,
"The only thing that will change is that this picture now holds more memories" I nodded looking at the smashed photograph.
"But why would you want to remember a house fire" she said confused.

"Me and my sister went through a lot, She drank a lot and we argued constantly. We went to hell and back and My sister wasn't fortunate enough to make it out. And what we experienced yesterday was tragic. But we sure as hell got through it didn't we" I smiled
She nodded.
"We made it out. See your not a ghost. Your alive" I said poking her arm
"Yep your alive too" said Maddy poking my cheek making me chuckle
"The last year are been a busy one and I'm sorry it had to be that way, but I have a feeling that it only made our relationship grow now that we have gone through thick and thin together."

"But I still don't understand" she said lifting my arm to snuggle into my side.
"I look at this picture and It will remind me all that we went through and how we made it out. Yeah it was dramatic but I remember that we did this as a team"
I felt Maddy grin against my shirt.
"So what now"
"I'll call the services and get this placed fixed. I'll tell the guys what happened"
She nodded.
"You know what, we need to get away from this place, how about a road trip. A vacation"
"To where?" She gasped
"Away from the city, somewhere peaceful y'know?"
"Would you like that?"
"I would love to Chwis "
"Alright then it's settled."
"I wuv you dad"
"Love you more Madelyn"

Hey guys
Hope you are all okay
I am honestly not the best at the moment
I keep relapsing with my hair and my mum keeps telling me off for it.
She says 'if you are trying to get better then why do you still have it?!"
If you don't know I have Trichotillamania which is where I self harm by pulling out my hair.
It's not nice. And I've had it since I was nine.
Anyways yeah. Feeling emotional at the moment so not gonna write much
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
By the way I'll be fine. Trust me, I have my ways with dealing with this event though they are dodgy and bad for you but I don't care at this point.
I'll update tomorrow
