I unlocked the front door and rushed upstairs to pack my suitcase.

I had no idea what to pack so I just put the entire contents of my wardrobe in.

I don't know how long I'll be away for but I was too excited to care.

I sat on my suitcase to squish everything in and then zipped it up. Once I got off a text came through on my phone from Shawn.

From Shawn:
Are you all set?xxx

To Shawn:
Yes, I'm so excited!!!xxx

From Shawn:
Me too, make sure you get some sleep before you head down to the airport, we have a long flight xxx

To Shawn:
Okay, I can't wait to see you xxx

I put my phone on charge and then took a quick nap.

I don't know how long I was asleep for but I was suddenly woken by an alarm.

I brush the sleep out of my eyes and go to snooze my alarm but when it's not going off I realise something is wrong. I head to my bedroom door and stop when I realise
what it was, it was the fire alarm.

I thought maybe the fire alarm was faulty or mum came home early and was burning something in the kitchen.

I grab the door handle to go investigate but a sudden panic hit me. The door handle was warm.

I quickly open the door and a huge cloud of smoke hits the back of my throat. I pull my sleeve and cover my mouth.

I walk slowly through the smoke to try and find out where the fire is but the smoke gets into my eyes making them water.

There is so too much smoke I can't see where the stairs are.

I need to get out

A patch of smoke clears and I can see the stairs.

I quickly grab my phone out of my back pocket and dial 911.

Someone picks up "911 whats your emergency?"

"There's a fire in my house"

"Okay, is anyone else with you?"

A sudden thought comes into my head and makes me panic.
I haven't heard mum since I got home.

What if she's in the house?

Ignoring the person on the end of the phone I quickly run into the smoke and search her bedroom. She's not there.

I let out a sigh of relief "No I'm alone".

I gave the lady my address.

"Okay, can you get out of the house?"

"Yeah, I can get down the stairs and out the front door"

"You do that, the firemen won't be long"

I exit the room and then rush to the stairs. I go to step down the first step but my foot completely misses it and tumble down the stairs. My head hits something hard on the way down and all I see is black.

***

I wake up to the sound of sirens. My eyes are sore and I'm struggling to breathe.

I look around and see Shawn sitting next to me, he has one hand on the back of my head and the other is holding a mask over my mouth.

I move too quickly and the mask slips down my face.

"Be careful, the mask is a little loose." Shawn says pulling it back over my face and holding it.

Before I can say anything a paramedic dressed all in green comes over to us.
