*Marcus' POV*

I had been staying in the kitchen for a fair amount of the party because let's face it Marcus, nobody would want to dance with me.

My dancing is horrendous, that's one of the reasons why Carrie broke it off with me.

Her exact words were:

"I don't want my wedding dance to be with a left footed bafoon"

Ugh I miss her so much.

But I'm moving on, slowly but surely.

And I still find myself looking at her a lot more these days. Like I said, I think she's single - well... I hope anyway.

I see her dancing alone in the centre of the dance floor and god does she look gorgeous. As she spins her skater skirt flips up a bit and her little bangles jingle around her wrists, she smiles when she catches my eye and she gestures for me to join her. I shake my head vigorously and fold my arms, hugging myself.

She pulls a pout and shrugs, spinning back around and dancing with Connor and Jenna. Ugh if only I could tell her how pretty I think she is

How wonderful we'd be together

How I would do anything to dance with her

But before I could react to anything I catch a flicker of orange in the corner of my eye.

I turn on my heels and see the oven, ablaze and smoking.

And I panic.

The smoke alarms scream towards everyone and they all rush out of the building in groups of friends checking through every body to see if we're all safe.

I ask Alfie to call the fire services and I check through everybody I can as usher everyone out.

Once I'm out in the cool night air I check the time.
1:34 am

I shudder as I see everybody gaze up at the rear of the building.

The walls are flashing white-yellow with all the fire climbing up the wall inch by inch and it begins to devour more of the kitchen by the second.

I hear people shouting drunken things at it and I see Emma throwing up in the front garden with Caspar standing over her. I suddenly hear Somebody scream.

Jenna.

She continues to scream the same word until I finally notice what she is saying.
Niomi

"PLEASE SOMEBODY, SHE WENT TO THE BEDROOM. SHE DIDNT KNOW PLEASE HELP!!" she screams over and over. I here someone else shout in realisation and soon I hear somebody crying.
Please, anyone but Niomi.

I dont think twice about it.

I dart towards the open front door, leaving the living room as I see the couch begin to catch alight. I stumble up the stairs, rushing to the bathroom door.

The music slurs downstairs and suddenly stops altogether. I hurriedly knock on the door, screaming her name "Niomi!! Please please please say your in there!!!"

No reply.

I try opening the door but it won't budge. She locked it, crap.

I see smoke rising up through the bottom of the door and scream for her again.

Wait

Is that steam??

I stand back flexing my muscles and grip down towards the floor. I charge, running my shoulder into the solid oak door.

I doesn't move.

I try a second

And a third

And on the fourth try, the handle smashes out of place and swings the door open.

Steam piles out in a wave and water spills around my feet engulfing me into the watery mess.

Shit.

The fire must have heated up the water works so much they burst, leading to the bathroom. I shout for her as I blindly feel through the room, my foot hits something, a body. I crouch down and the steam clears a little, letting me examine her. Oh god she has passed out, I lift her head a bit and attempt to speak to her

"Niomi, what happened?" I whisper. She doesn't reply and I scoop her up in my arms, helplessly walk back through the smoke and steam.

I run down the stairs and turn my eyes into slits... I can't see a thing.
