I wake up to the smell of smoke, at first I think my brother is making a late night snack, so I try to go back to sleep. Then I heard my mother's scream. It's a blur, running down stairs to my parents room, seeing the fire, running with my family outside, my parents getting stuck behind falling debris, them telling me and my brother to leave, my brother pulling me away from them and to the front door, part of the ceiling falling towards me, my brother pushing me out of the way, getting hit, my brother taking the full impact, him telling me to run, me stumbling out the front door, and lastly, seeing everything I know and love burn before I black out. I wake up screaming, Mrs.Lane runs into my room with a panicked look on her face. "It's ok, just another nightmare." I tell her, "Ok, well try and get some sleep. School starts tomorrow after all!" she says with a sad smile as she left. Mrs.Lane runs the orphanage and is the closest thing I have to family. None of the other kids at the orphanage like me, partly because I'm kind of a loner, I don't really like people. But mostly, it's because I got my own room while the others have to share a big one. I had to be moved because I would scream and kick at night to due to my nightmares, they moved me to the attic because it muffles my screams, but Mrs.Lane can hear me since she's right below me so she can check on me. All of the staff here pities me, not because I lost my whole family (all the kids here have) but because apparently I got a concussion from the impact of the falling ceiling piece that killed my brother, and it made me lose my memory of anything that happened before the day it all ended. But something else happened when that piece of debris hit my head, something I, Jessica Cameron,  would soon find out. 

A/N: Hey! I hope this story is good, I've had the idea for about a year and decided to put it into wattpad.
