He says "A chair won't help with this, Alice." That awful voice makes me shudder. I stall with "oh really?" as I see Simon plotting our next move.
My hands tighten on the chair I have. Simon signals me and I understand his plan. I run towards the boy with a chair as my sword. I don't even touch him and he knocks the chair out of my hands.
You know, maybe I didn't understand the plan. The boy snaps and the room fills with smoke. We all know that where there's smoke, there's fire.
The flames are spreading from the center of the room, but that boy is nowhere to be seen. I hear sobbing. I look over to see Simon sitting against the wall, having a breakdown.
*Flashback*
4 years previously, Simon is 10 y/o
(Simon's POV)
I hear crying. Ugh. Why is she always like this! I'm just trying to get some sleep. I go to my bedroom door and grab the handle. "Ow!" I pull back. The handle is burning hot. I remember the fire safety lessons I had in school. Ok. Let's do this. I go over to my phone and dial 911. Why did it have to be the one time I was home alone with the baby? Oh no! What do I do with her!? I can't open my door. She must feel so hot near the fire. I exit the house through my window and climb out to the roof. I am very relieved when I hear the firetruck approach. They said most of the house was untouched, but one room is burnt. "Which room?" I ask? They replied solemnly with: "The nursery."
*End of flashback*
I go over and ask him to come with me to the door. He nods and I walk him over. I am trying to remain calm, but on the inside, I am panicking. I try to open the door, though I know it would be locked. I frantically twist the handle. It doesn't budge. The flames creep closer.

A/N- Yes, I wrote 3 chapters today. I just got really interested in the story and kept writing. I hope you like it, I put a small backstory in it for Simon because I wanted to explain how he was traumatized, how his sister died, and why he had a breakdown. Anyways, leave suggestions and requests in the comments. I want to hear your ideas! And again- Romance?
