Accidents Happen.
This story has my O.C character in it, so if you didn't like her in the other story called Riot, then just don't read it. I had this idea for a while so I decided to end my latest story and start writing this one instead. :) Hope you enjoy it!

"Jess, wake up!" Zoe knocked on her bedroom door and Jess woke out of her slumber. "Jess!" She continued to shout until she got a reply.
"Alright i'm up." Jess grumbled and wiped the sleep out of her eyes, and got out of bed. It was seven thirty. She got to her door and opened it to her already dressed mother. "Mum. Im not at school today! Remember?"
"Yes, but it will do you good to get out of bed a little earlier. Why sleep in anyway? You waste your day." Zoe explained.
"Im going out with friends at eleven, mum." She said. "Im going back to bed."
"Fine, suit yourself." Zoe said. "Well me and your dad are off to work. See you later."
"Bye mum." Jess said and hugged her. "Where's dad?"
"Downstairs." Zoe said, and they walked down the stairs together.
"Hey sweetie." Nick said. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah thanks." Jess replied.
"I thought you wanted to go back to bed?" Zoe said, as she watched her daughter get some cereal out of the cupboard.
"I did, but now i'm awake." She shrugged and filled the bowl with shreddies.
"Oh right." Zoe replied, putting the box back in the cupboard. "Well, we're off."
"Bye." Jess said, and hugged her dad as she had already hugged her mother. "Have 'fun'."
"We'll try." Nick laughed, and Jess waved to them as they left the room.
She walked back into the kitchen and turned on the radio as she hated the house being silent when she was alone. She always managed to hear things that weren't there, or noises that were that would freak her out. But listening to Florence and the Machine was alot better. She ate her shreddies while humming the melody of the song, and she was soon finished.
She put the bowl in the dishwasher and wiped her mouth before heading upstairs to get dressed. She chose some clothes and layed them out on her bed to see if they looked alright together. She was happy with the result, so she turned on the radio in her room to make the music a bit louder and got herself dressed. She put her laptop on her bed and turned it on, and went to brush her teeth while she waited for the laptop to boot up.
She layed on her bed once she was finished, and went on facebook. No one else was online as it was early for most of her friends. She sighed to herself and turned off her laptop, and turned on her TV. She settled for Jeremy Kyle, and sat watching it for the next hour and a half.
It was nine o'clock when the program had finished and she decided to get dressed as she would have to leave by ten thirty. She plugged in her straightners and sat at her desk infront of her mirror, and waited for them to heat up so that she could use them.
Half an hour later, she was finished, and she put the straightners down. She began to apply her make up and the phone began to ring. Before she went to answer it, she sprayed her perfume and ran down the stairs to answer it in time.
"Hello?" She answered. "Oh hey Em... Yeah I can meet you earlier... Where are we meeting?" She sat and listened to what she had to say for quite a while. "Yeah so the clock tower?" She sighed as her friend began to talk again. "Yeah i'll see you then." She said, and hung up the phone. She was meeting a group of her friends and they were going into the shopping center.
She went upstairs and entered her room and began to apply her make up and she was finished with a minute to spare. She turned off her TV and her radio, and her light and walked down stairs. She put her mobile in her pocket and took one more look in the mirror before picking up her keys.
"Ugh." She groaned, realising she left her bag upstairs with her purse in it. She ran up the stairs and gasped as she entered her bedroom.
She had obviously left her straighteners on as her wooden desk was on fire. She tried not to panic as she was no use to anyone while she panicked. She had to think rationally. She went to find a towel in the bath room and returned at the wrong time.
Just as she walked in, she realised that her pressurised deodorant and perfume were both on the desk. "Crap. Crap. Crap." She cried, and ran to pick them up. The deodorant was hot, which made her drop it. Everything then on seemed to go in slow motion. She tried to run but she wasn't quick enough.
The deodorant can exploded, and her whole room went up in flames. The impact of the blast knocked Jess to the floor as she got covered in the orange flames.
