Jordan's POV:
I'm sat in the station for roughly an hour before I go to use the gym for a bit. I do pull ups, press ups, bench press, squats, bicep curls and I use the treadmill for a bit too. When I'm done I hear the alarm go and I run to my locker and get my kit on and hop in the fire engine. When my team is driving there it's a car wreck and we have to get people out before it blows up. When we are on the way there I text Mal.

Jordan:
Hey babe, I have a call out now but Steve says I can go home once I have sorted it. I will call you when it's done and please could you pick me up from there?xx

Mal:
Of course babe. Call me with the details later. I think I with have Tobin and Chris with me. Be safe xx

Jordan:
Yeah that's fine thanks babe. I think this is a bad one so I will be an hour or 2 xx

Mal:
Ok baby please stay safe. I need you xx

Jordan's:
Don't worry Mal I will be fine. Actually I have just seen the wreck and it will take me about 45 mins so can you start to come over here now? xx

Mal:
Of course , I'm on my way xx

We arrive at the crash and it's not too bad but we don't have much time to get them out. My team and the other one from our station arrive. There is a car that has been flipped and a bus. My team take on the bus as the other one try to get the people out the car. Ethan, Charlie and Sam get to the engine and work on putting it out. Me and Ryan position a crash pad on the floor for the people to jump off the roof on to. Ryan waits at the bottom to help people off as I climb to the roof and smash open the fire escape.

I can hear young children screaming. An older man who I presume is the drive selfishly pushes himself to the exit and goes to jump. He lands on the pad and Ryan helps him off. One by one I pull the kids up through the fire escape and gently throw them onto the crash pad because they wouldn't make the jump. There is roughly 7 kids left and the boys can't get the fire to go out. Fuck. I pick up a little girl and she doesn't want to leave me she just hold on. Out the corner of my eye I see my red sport car pull up reminding me that I can see Mal after this is done. I keep getting the kids out and there is 3 left including the girl who won't let go of me. I get one down safely and wait for Ryan to pull him off the pad. I can smell the petrol burning so I quickly get the other kid down. I don't have time to jump with the girl. All I can do is wrap my arms around her and hold on to her tightly. I feel myself get launched into the air. I make sure the girl is on top of me so I don't land on her. I hit the floor and skid off the edge of the bridge. Luckily in the last minute I manage to grab onto the railing and keep hold of the girl. Immediately I feel the girl being pulled out of my arms by Ryan and Ethan is there pulling me back onto the bridge.

I pull my helmet off and my breathing apparatus off too and I unzip my jacket and take it off too. I feel the little girl come into my arms again so I hold her there as she cries.

"Don't worry you are safe now. I've got you"I say calmly to her which calms her down a bit.

"What's your name?"I ask her

"Tiana"she said sniffling.

"Well Tiana I think you are really brave and you should be so proud of yourself" I said standing up not letting go of her.

"Thank you for keeping me safe"she says and nuzzles into my neck.

"TIANA!" Someone shouts and her head snaps in that direction.

She let's go and runs up to the woman "Mommy!" She gets pulled into a hug by her mom. Tiana pulls her mum over to me and explains what happened.

"Look mommy this is my new friend Jordan. She saved me. We are best friends now"she said tugging on my fire proof pants.

"It's nice to meet you ma'am" I say extending my hand. "You have a wonderful daughter"

"Thank you so much for saving her. I don't know how I could ever repay you"she says hugging me.

"Don't worry it's my job" I say smiling at them both.

I turn to walk to get my stuff and Tiana grabs my hand. "Please can I see you again? And then we can play together"she says excitedly.

"Of course here is my number" I give her my card with my name and number on and she runs back to her mom and gives it her.

She comes back to me and jumps into my arms and runs back to her mom shouting "bye bye Jordie see you soon!"

I just wave at her and go to pack my kit up and look for Mal. I throw my duffle bag with my kit in over my shoulder and my eyes scan around for my bright red sports car. I see it and walk over to where Mal, Christen and Tobin are stood. Mal sees me runs over and jumps on me and wraps her legs around my waist I put my bag down and just hold her. She climbs off me with tears in her eyes and smashes our lips together.

"What the fuck you scared me so much. I got here and saw you get all the kids off then you got blown off the side. I thought you were dead"she says crying.

"I'm not gonna die that easily don't worry. I'm here with you now and that's all that I want ok?"I say kissing her head.

"Yeah. Don't do that again though. Get off the roof faster next time please"she says causing me to laugh.

"Ok anything for you babe"

I pick up my back and walk to my car and Christen and Tobin. They both pull me into a hug and Tobin helps me put my bag in the trunk. I give Tobin the keys and Christen sits in the front with her. I sit in the back with Mal sat on my lap with her head buried into my neck. We get back to my apartment and I lead them all in. I drop my bag at the door and let them all go in. I walk over to the washing machine and take my tank top off and throw it in.

I turn back to the others and they all look shocked.

"What?"I say

"Jordan I think your stitches are coming out of your back"Tobin says

"Oh ok that's fine. Can one of you please take them out for me"I ask the three of them.

"Sorry I'm not good with stuff like that" Tobin says walking into the kitchen.

"I'll do it" Christen says smiling at me.

"Mal I know you aren't good with stuff like this too. Go and sit with Tobin and help yourself to anything you find"I say to her

"Ok babe"she says walking out.

"Give me a second. I will get the wipes and stuff to cut them"I say and walk into the bathroom.

I walk back into the living room and Christen is waiting for me smiling.

"Are you ready?"she asks running her fingers over the stitches.
