Fifty two
Tee's POV
Jessie found the CD eventually. After she had ransacked our entire bedroom. Holly was still a bit shocked by how much devastation she had caused. To be fair so was I. She blew the dust off the CD from where it had been under her bed. She held it above her bed and I grabbed it out of her hands. Jessie was half underneath the bed still and was having to shuffle out like a worm. Our room is quite cramped with all three of us in here. She finally shuffled out and sighed. "Well that was fun," she said. I giggled. She looked round the room. "I'll put it all back now," she said looking at the mess. She grabbed some of the stuff and just started throwing it back under her bed. She was never going to find anything now.
"Thanks Jessie," I said and dragged Holly out and back downstairs so we could play the CD for everyone to practise with. Blake and Jessie were going to go to the basement and practise down their using Blake's copy of the songs which he found. Jessie mumbled something and we passed Blake who was sat on the stairs waiting for her on our way down. "She'll be down in a minute. She's just throwing everything back under the bed," I said cheerfully. He laughed. He'd popped in a couple of minutes ago and seen the amount of mess she'd made.
"Cheers Tee," he called out to us. Holly and I skipped hand in hand down the stairs into the living room. I waved the CD triumphantly and everyone cheered. Faith stuck her head out the living room and shouted up to Jessie.
"Well done Jessie," she shouted. We heard Jessie's silvery laughter float through the door.
"You're welcome everyone," She said poking her head round the door before heading towards the basement.
We heard the basement door close and then you're the one that I want could be heard coming through the floor along with the fake American accents of Blake and Jessie. We all laughed. They both had very impressive American accents but they were strange to hear. Elektra put the CD in the CD player and pressed the buttons until she got to Summer Lovin'. We waited for a bit while Danny and Sandy sang their bits and then it was us.
Johnny, Rick, Josh, Frank, Tyler, Charlie, Zach( even though he isn't involved in the show): Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh! Tell me more, tell me more
Charlie sang in for the missing T-bird: Did you get very far?
Holly, Lily, Jade, Carmen, Faith, Elektra and I sang the next bits: Tell me more, tell me more
Holly had offered to do the extra bits as she liked singing: Like does he have a car?
Harry, Floss and Jody all clapped along to the beat as they watched us have a laugh while waiting for the next bits. We went to start singing as Floss twisted in her chair and knocked over a glass of orange juice onto the CD Player. It burst into flames and Harry, Floss and Jody screamed loudly and dived onto the floor. Everything was blur after that. I ran over and grabbed Harry while Josh, who was closest to Floss, grabbed her and pulled them away from the fire and out the house. The fire alarm was going off and Mike came towards us. He saw the fire and hurried us out the house. We stood on the gravel well away from the window and peered through at the fire spreading. Mike did a quick head count.
"We're missing two," he said loudly. I heard Charlie gasp behind me.
"Blake and Jessie. They are in the basement," he shouted, running towards the house. Josh grabbed him.
"Don't be so stupid Charlie. You'll die," Josh said angrily. Charlie glared at him.
"Joshua! I lost my parents in a house fire, I'm not losing Jessie the same way," he shouted back and shrugged him off and ran back into the house. We all stood nervously waiting. Rick and Josh were pacing. Rick suddenly sprinted towards the door after Charlie.
"Rick!" Faith shouted trying to stop him. He ignored her and darted in. We all waited.
Rick's POV
Josh stopped Charlie from running in and I was glad of that. Jessie didn't need to lose her final cousin to a fire but when he shrugged Josh off I could see his logic. That was his cousin in there and last time he couldn't stop the fire from killing his parents but maybe he could save Jessie. I know both me and Josh would be relieved if he did. Josh is pacing twice the speed that I am he is that agitated. I was just nervous. That was my girlfriend in there, who I had promised to protect and I wasn't. I glanced up at the door, saw Mike and Gina were busy talking and legged it. I heard Faith call me back. I ignored her and kept running. I saw Charlie crawling on the floor by the stairs. I ducked and started crawling towards him. "Charlie," I coughed. He glanced up at me and smiled grimly. We made our slow progress towards the basement door. As we got closer we could hear shouts coming from the room.
"HELP! SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP US!" That was Blake shouting. I couldn't hear Jessie. We got right up to the door.
"Blake is everything ok?" I asked through the door. I heard him sigh in relief.
"Thank goodness. No the door is jammed and Jessie is... well I think she is having a panic attack," Blake shouted back. I saw Charlie pale slightly.
"Blake, you deal with Jessie, me and Rick will try and get you out. Just sit with her, put her head between her knees and make sure she takes deep breaths. If she starts shallow breathing or gasping for air place some sort of paper bag over her mouth to help her. She has panic attacks at the thought of being stuck somewhere, especially if it's claustrophobic," Charlie explained slowly and clearly so Blake heard it all.
"Well this is probably not good for her then as it is quite claustrophobic in here," Blake said as we heard his footsteps travel across the floor towards Jessie.
"So we've got to get them out?" I asked. Charlie nodded and reached up towards the handle. He pulled his hand away sharply. I saw a red welt in his palm. The metal was burning hot. I grimaced in pain. I thought hard about how to break the door down. It suddenly clicked. There was a crowbar in the attic. "Stay here. I'll be back in a minute," I said and crawled away from the door. I heard he said something but I didn't catch what he was saying. Once I was at the stairs, I just ran up them. I ran up the stairs into Charlie and Josh's room. I glanced around. Things had been moved so it was going to be harder to find than I had first thought. There was a metal cupboard to the side of the room and I opened that up. Inside was random pieces and objects. I quickly searched through until I found the crowbar. I pulled it out and ran back downstairs with it. By this time the smoke filling the entrance was really thick and it was making it hard to breath. I crawled back to Charlie who was breathing hard. He was struggling for breath which was not a good sign. "Blake make sure you are away from the door," I shouted through. I didn't hear a response. Charlie rested his hand on my arm.
I looked over at him. "Can't breathe. Going outside. Get them out," he said, the whole thing punctuated by his rough breath. I nodded and he crawled away. I turned back to the door and slipped the crowbar into the gap between the floor and the door. I pulled sharply towards me and heard the wood splintering. A gap had appeared between the door frame and the door. I removed the crowbar and put it into the new gap and slid it up wiggling as I did so. I got the crowbar to the same height as the door handle and pulled sharply. I heard more splintering so pulled harder. I heard a loud crack. I looked up. The door had fractured. I kicked it sharply inwards and the door flew open. Both Blake and Jessie were lying unconscious on the floor. I grabbed Blake and picked him up. I ran back up the basement stairs and out the front door. I lay him on the grass and then ran back into the basement. Jessie was covered in soot and she looked really pale. I grabbed her and bodily carried her out. I placed her on the grass as well and then lay down next to her. I would have tried to save her but my body was tired and I felt my eyes close as I fell asleep.
A/N: Oh dear. Another accident. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this. Thank you to MyMiracle for suggesting some sort of disaster and writing it in a POV of one of the TDG kids. I still need ideas for the story otherwise it's going to end soon and it might not be a very good ending. Indigo :)
