It's hot….way too hot. I don't understand why though. My father always gets mad if my mother turns the heat pass eighty degrees so why does it feel like its thousand and one. I kick of my blanket in an attempt to cool down and yet it still feels like I'm hugging the sun. I try to pry my sleepy eyes open and question my view. My room seems to be getting engulfed by grey clouds and something orange.

Flames….

That word alerts my brain and body. My eyes open wide and my legs come to life and bolt towards my bedroom door. Survival mood kicks in and instructions from my father about what to do when there is a fire buzzes in my brain. My blanket on the floor now takes the place at the bottom of my door. What am I suppose to do now?

Think Bella think!

The window is the only option. As I push open my window then climb out and stand on the slim amount of roof, I notice that the only way I can get away from the flames is by jumping off the roof.

Breathe Bella it's only a few feet and what's the worse thing that could happen besides breaking a limb or two.

As I steady myself prepared to jump my family breaks through my train of thought.

Mom, dad, Jacob…

Like my father had mind reading powers he was pushing open Jacob's bedroom which was on near my window. In his arms was my brother clinging to him for dear life. As I looked away from my brother and to my father, I noticed something in the eyes that I had never seen before.

Fear.

I was scared because if the chief of police was afraid then we might as well all be doomed.

"Bella jump down!" My father screamed at the top of his lungs.

I just stared at him as if he were speaking a foreign language. I tore my gaze away from him and jumped off the roof. I landed with a thud and as soon as I stood back up on my feet I felt pain from my left ankle.

Great another broken ankle

I didn't have much time to recover because my dad was screaming at me once again.

"Bella be ready. I'm going to drop your brother to you."

I just stared at my dad and nodded. I wanted to cry and protest but at that moment Jacob was all that matter to me. We were very close even though we were twelve years apart but he was the best little brother anyone could ask for. I stood up and had my arms waiting for Jacob. My dad hugged him tight and whispered something to him before he dropped him. As soon as he landed in my arms I fell backwards but held him as tight as possible. As I checked him over I looked back at my dad who was just smiling and crying at us. The reality hit me and left me breathless as my dad went back through my brother's window. I knew right then and there that Jacob and I would be losing a huge piece of our hearts.
