Name: Love Story
Preface
I woke up in a daze and turned to my side to try and get some more sleep, but, I couldn't. There was a strong smell of smoke in the air. I reached for my boyfriend but he was in a deep sleep, well at least I thought he was. I shook him vigorously but he never woke. I panicked. I turned towards the door and saw a that smoke was seeping underneath the door. The hotel was on fire. But why hadn't the smoke alarms gone off? Nervousness seeped into my body and I shook with worry. I was frozen in place. I heard muffled voices from outside the door and realised this was my chance to get out.
"HELP, HELP, HELP!" I screamed
"GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!" A husky, booming voice shouted.
Before I could reply the door was on the ground and three people had broken into the room. I was scooped up into someone's arms and covered with a wet towel before being carried out of the hotel. The man's arms were muscular and his booming voice reminded me of somebody's, although I couldn't quite put my finger on who's. I knew we were outside when I felt the cold air of the night gently brush past my face. Lights were shining and I lifted my head up. It was then that I saw the fireman's face. A face that I hadn't seen in ten years…
"Emmett?" I managed to choke out "Is that you?"
