Hannah's POV

*flashback to a few hours ago*

I wake up to the smell of smoke. Confused, I slowly open my eyes. Straight away my eyes begin to sting. "What is happening" I mumble, coughing loudly straight away. Then it hit me. There must be a fire somewhere in the block.

I quickly climb onto my knees, trying to get below the smoke. I cough again. I need to get out of here, and quickly. Blinded by the smoke, I search for the door knob. Successfully I open the door and quickly run down the stairs, thankful to live near the ground floor.

Many people are ahead of me, shouting and screaming out people's names. I finally run outside, breathing in the cold, fresh air. I put my hands on my knees, coughing. A fireman comes over to me and asks if I'm okay. "I-i think so" I mumble back. He nods quickly before walking off. Wow, he was kind.

"Is everyone out?" Another fireman asks. Most people say yes except one. "My friend Chris is still in there somewhere" a male says. I quickly stand up. "Chris? Ex Chris?" I mumble to myself, I forgot he lived in the same block of flats as me!

Then I do the unthinkable. I quickly run back inside, people behind me shouting at me to come back. I ignore them, quickly running back up the stairs. I try to remember what floor Chris lived on. I try my luck and run to the tenth floor. I was now coughing like mad, the smoke even heavier as I run up each floor.

Now, to find the right room. The number 14 comes to my head straight away. With no time to lose I run up to the 14th door, quickly opening it. I'm greeted with smoke, I can't see anything in front of me. "Chris? Are you in here?" I shout, I can feel smoke filling my throat. I try to ignore it, running randomly in front of me.

I hear weak shouting from somewhere in front me. I put my hands in front of me, shouting his name every few seconds. The voice gets closer and closer, and I eventually bump into something, a body.

"Chris?? Is that you?" All I get back as a response is a cough. "I take that as a yes" I mumble before coughing again. Suddenly I can't breathe and I begin to gasp for air. I try to stay calm and I begin to drag Chris in the direction I came. He's heavy, but I'm determined to save him. (STAY DETERMINED)

I bump into the door, and I eventually reach the hallway. I shake Chris, he slowly stands up, coughing loudly
again. "Come on we have to go down the stairs" I whisper, barely able to talk.

We run as fast as we could down the stairs, stumbling and crashing into walls as we could not see 5 feet in front of us. I eventually hear noises and shouts as people see us coming. I collapse onto the concrete, closing my eyes. Darkness.

*back to present day*

Laura's POV

I close my laptop quickly. I run into my bedroom quickly, grabbing some clean clothes to get changed into. "What are you doing?" Joe asked, watching me stumble while trying to pull my skinny jeans up. "Hannah is in hospital, there was a fire at her block" I grab my phone and Joe looks very worried. "Stay here I don't think it would be a good idea for you to come" I say, quickly running out the door before he could say anything.

Hopefully Hannah is okay.
