Twenty nine
A/N: Thank you for the reviews and I will take your critism into use and try not to include cliffhangers.
Summer's POV
After those rough five weeks I settled into a routine. Get up; have breakfast; shower; dye my hair; stand up for the little ones; go to school; argue with Alice, Lia and Jack on the way to school; sit next to Rick, Kitty and Abby in lessons and talk; kiss Rick in secret; flirt with Rick; lunch; lessons; walk home from school; homework; argue or protect Sam, Lucy and Jasmine; dinner; sew and talk while curling up on the sofa with my boyfriend; bed. And since getting out of the cellar Denis hasn't touched me or come within one metre of me unless he's driving the minibus. I've been here four months now and I love it here, even if we are constantly banned from doing things. I've even celebrated Christmas here. Denis has even come round to the fact me and Rick are going out and if we kiss he doesn't tell us off, which is a relief. I still miss my family and feel bad about their deaths but being around people in similar situations and with my friends all the time makes it better. I can be a teenager again and enjoy life.
As usual I was sat learning to sew with Kitty while curled up against Rick who was reading a book. Lucy and Abby were playing a game and Mia was out in the garden. Sam and Jasmine were in the attic and Alice, Lia and Jack were... well I didn't actually know where. Alex, Tyler and Luke were sat around the computer playing a game when I smelt smoke.
"Is Connor cooking tea tonight?" I asked. Rick shook his head.
"No Georgia is," he replied. I looked over at the computer and couldn't see any smoke.
"Can you smell smoke?" I asked. Kitty nodded. "Get out now it could be a fire," I said taking control. "Abby you get them out, I'll go get Sam and Jasmine." Abby nodded and started hurrying the boys out while I ran up the stairs towards the attic. I saw Lia, Alice and Jack come down the stairs from the attic. I hid in the shadows until they had gone down the stairs. I ran upstairs and couldn't see anything for the wall of smoke.
"Sam, Jasmine! Are you in here?" I shouted. I heard them shout yes back. "Wait there I'm going to get you out." I ran back downstairs filled a bucket with water and grabbed the fire extinguisher before running back up. I chucked the water over the spot where I could see fire. It went out but there was still some burning, I used the fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. Once it had all gone out I ran towards Sam and Jasmine. Sam had a burn on his hand but Jasmine was burnt all up her legs and arms. I picked her up and carried her downstairs with Sam following. Luckily no-one else had been in the house because Abby had set the fire alarm off. I lay Jasmine on the floor in the garden, Georgia ran over.
"What happened?" she asked. I pointed at the three oldest.
"They happened. They set the attic on fire while Sam and jasmine were up there. They've both got burnt. We've got to take them to hospital," I replied. Georgia and Connor nodded.
"You stay here with the kids, and I'll take Jasmine, Sam and Summer to hospital," Connor told her. It was Denis' day off so they had to split themselves. Georgia nodded.
"I don't need to go to hospital," I coughed. Connor looked at me.
"You don't realise your wrists are burnt and you've inhaled loads of smoke. That's dangerous and irresponsible of you," he said picking Jasmine up and leading the three of us to the van. Rick ran after us.
"I'm coming too and if she hadn't gone up there Jasmine and Sam might not even be alive," Rick said as we climbed into the van.

Rick's POV
Summer's fine, luckily. Her wrists have just been bandaged up even though they were very bad and she's now asleep leaning against me. I stroked her hair softly as we waited for news on Sam and Jasmine. Connor had phoned Denis and told him what had happened and Georgia had phoned asking for information. At this moment the doctor walked out. I jumped up and nudged Connor who was drifting off next to me. Summer's head hit the chair.
"OW," she muttered sitting up and rubbing her head.
"Sam's free to go home tonight but we want to keep Jasmine in. She has extensive burns and is in lots of pain. She should be free to go home tomorrow though," the doctor told us. He handed Connor a leaflet. "This will tell you how often all three of their dressings need to be changed. It's roughly once a day for Summer, twice a week for Sam and twice a day for Jasmine as she's burnt the most." Connor nodded as Sam came out with a nurse.
"here you go, one very brave boy," she said as Sam ran over to Summer. Summer pulled him into a hug. "You should be proud of her," the nurse continued pointing at Summer. "if she hadn't got them out of there they could have damaged their lungs and the burns could be worse." Connor smiled at Summer.
"We are proud of her, even if she is irresponsible," Connor joked. Summer smiled and followed with Sam as we left the hospital.
