I dunno how this is gonna go... but I'll give it a shot I guess. This is basically Dougie's version of the events that happened in my other fic: Some People Fight, Some People Fall. It's pretty different I think and the thing is you don't exactly have to read the original first before reading it so you get the storyline. This was pretty much all written in a four hour car ride and I decided to write it after listening to Untitled by Simple Plan, which is kinda relevant I guess. This one is a little less heavy than the other one, so enjoy and review. Thanks guys :D

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the storyline.

It was the night that our album had gone to number one. Everyone was invited around to our house for a big party to celebrate. Drinking, dancing, flirting and yelling. None of the girls there interested me so I hung around with Harry and drank and mucked around. Danny had found some girl already. His type completely. Blonde hair, heaps of makeup, heels, huge chest. She seemed weird, skanky and up herself. Her name was Haley or something. I didn't take much notice.

The night finally ended at two. I had already crashed out on the couch, my head aching. I managed to fall asleep until the sound of bottles clinking together woke me up. I opened my eyes. Tom was picking up all the bottles and glasses and putting them around Harry. Danny was nowhere to be seen. Until he walked through the front door with a ridiculous smile on his face. It was so ridiculous it was funny. I started giggling and couldn't stop.

'I love you guys, I really do,' he slurred before falling over.

'We love you too mate,' Tom laughed as he helped to pick him up off the floor.

'I reckon it's time to crash, doncha think? My head hurts,' I said just as Tom turned the lights back on. Little white specks of light danced around my eyes and I covered them with my hands.

'Yeah, we can clean up in the morning, come on,' Harry said, sliding off the bench and starting to head up the stairs. Danny pulled me up off my makeshift bed and we headed upstairs.

'No waking me up for anything in the morning guys! I'm sleeping in,' Tom laughed as he headed up to his room.

'Ditto to that!' I said, closing my door behind me. I was so tired that I almost forgot to feed Zukie then went straight to bed in the clothes I'd been wearing for the whole day. I fell asleep after only five minutes.

I woke up soon after to someone banging on the wall to my room.

'FIRE!!!' Harry was screaming through the wall.

Fire?

I stumbled out of bed and ran out the door, slamming my door shut behind me. Smoke was filling the hallway and there was an orange glow coming from the spare room. Danny ran out next to me, grabbing my arm and directing me to Harry's room while I followed in a daze, unable to comprehend what was going on. Our house was on fire?

'Harry!! Are you alright?!' Danny called.

'Yeah,' Harry called back. He was grabbing stuff out of his room at lightening speed. All of a sudden the door to the spare room caught on fire, the heat filling the whole hall.

'Hurry up mate! The whole spare room is on fire! It's spreading!' I called feverishly.

'Go get Tom!' Harry yelled.

'Come on Doug,' Danny exclaimed, grabbing my arm again and we ran up the stairs to Tom's room.

'TOM!!!' we shouted together, banging hard on his door. He appeared looking sleepy and confused.

'Tom, there's a fire; we gotta get out of here!' Danny shouted quickly, pulling at the sleeve of his t-shirt.

'Help me get some stuff Dan,' Tom said feverishly as Danny raced in too.

I sprinted back down the stairs and burst into my bedroom where Harry was grabbing things he knew meant something to me. I glanced beside me to Danny's room. It was getting eaten up by the fire too now.

'Tom's getting some stuff now, but we need to get out of here! Danny's room is half on fire now!' I shouted, grabbing some stuff Harry had missed.

Loud footsteps had signalled Tom and Danny had come back.

'We need to call the fire department!' Danny shouted through the door.

Tom was nervously standing next to him. 'I'll do it,' he exclaimed, grabbing his phone out of his pocket.

I went to go back down the stairs and get my basses out of the music room.

'My room's gone!' Danny cried sadly, grabbing my arm as I went to run past him as his door caught fire, the posters melting onto the carpet.

'We need to get out!' Harry coughed, sprinting out of my room, his bag filled to bursting point. If Danny's room was already on fire, it was only a matter of time until mine was gone too.

I had a weird feeling I'd forgotten to get something.

Something important.

But I couldn't figure out what it was. Of course I'd probably forgotten a lot of important stuff, but this feeling was different.

Something VERY important.

'How are we gonna get past Danny's room?!' Tom cried, still on the phone to the emergency services.

'Come on, just sprint, we can do it,' Harry said feverishly, grabbing Danny and Tom's arms as Tom hung up the phone. I had to run by myself, sweating in the heat. We all ran for the end of the hall. I made it first and span around to help the others.

'ARGH!!!!!!' Tom had accidentally brushed against the door and his sleeve had caught fire. Harry, Danny and I swore loudly and shouted at each other to put it out, batting him with pillows and blankets. His eyes were watering and the flames were nearing his head and face.

'It's not working!!' Tom screamed. Danny spied the vase of flowers in the hall and dumped the water on Tom. The fire went out thank god. The smoke was starting to get to all of us. It stung my eyes and was beginning to choke me.

'Let's get out of here!' Harry yelled in desperation, pulling Tom along with him who was whimpering in pain. I felt sorry for the poor guy.

We made it to the lounge and the drawing on the wall reminded me of something.

'ZUKIE!!!' I cried, running back up the stairs before anyone could grab me.

'DOUGIE!!!!!' I heard Danny yelling at me then distorted voices arguing.
