Chapter 25

After a few days the fire service deemed the house safe, Dan and Phil came to collect me and we got a taxi to the house. I glanced up at our floor and sure enough, the window facing from the gaming room out to the streets was all boarded up. The wall surrounding it was black. I gulped and we went up the stairs to the house. 

Once we were inside it seemed pretty normal to say there'd been a fire. Everything was normal apart from the big, heavy, muddy footprints on the white carpet leading to the stairs to the gaming room. We followed them anxiously. We reached the top of the stairs to find a fire man inside the room. It was burnt crisp. The computers were singed at the corners. The fold up bed completely destroyed, the carpet was black with ash. The walls behind the desk were black and looked like they would fall any minutes. It was like someone had gotten black paint and thrown it at the wall. The air was dusty and heavy. 
"It did some pretty bad damage" The fire man said.
"Yeah" Dan whispered clutching Phil's hand. I hated seeing them upset.
"This is going to take so long to fix" Phil said.
"What caused it?" I asked from behind them.
"An over heated extension cable from behind the desk" He pointed to a extension lead on the floor and it was un-recognisable. It was destroyed. The room was destroyed.

I went and sat on my bed for the first time in a long time. It felt peaceful to be back in my room. Everything was familiar and i knew where everything was. It felt good to be back in my bed, no comfy mattresses, intruding metal bars from a sofa bed. It felt good to smell home. It sounds weird but i could smell the constant smell of coffee and which ever candle Phil was burning although i don't think they'll be much burning in the house after what had happened.
