I'm woken in the middle of the night to a smoke alarm beeping. I can smell the smoke enter the bedroom.
I start coughing. "Noah." I yell.
Noah opens his eyes. "Fuck." He yells.
Noah and I run to the kids rooms.
I walk into Gisele's room. "Gisele!" I yell. I shake her.
She opens her hazel eyes. Mum?"
"We need to get out of the house. There's a fire." Gisele climbs out of bed.
Gisele and I run to the front door. It's been deadbolt and the keys gone.
I never locked it. The key should still be in the door.
I pick up a wicker chair. "Stand back, Gisele." I smash the chair against the window.
Gisele moves back a couple steps.
I hit it again and nothing happens. The window breaks on the third hit. There's a blanket on the lounge and I throw it over the window, to protect Gisele and I from the protruding glass of the window.
I help Gisele out the window. "Run, sweetheart."
Ashley, where's my princess.
I hear. "Mummy!"
Ashley? Is she in the basement? I thought Noah was going to get her.
I'm breathing in too much smoke and I start to cough.
"Mummy!"
I use my hands to cover my mouth and nose from the smoke.
It's getting too hot!
"Mummy! I'm in here."
Ashley, baby where are you?
I crawl along the ground.
"Mummy!"
I keep going to the basement.
Then I hear screaming and then. "Mummy!"
Where's my little girl.
Tears are falling down my face.
I cough again. I push open the door to the basement.
"Mummy! Down here."
I pull myself down the stairs. I cough.
