Jesse coughed. The flames engulfing the couch. The fire had started so suddenly. He heard the sound of sirens outside and the smashing sound of the door. Finally someone was coming for him.
"Jesse!" Steve's voice ringing throughout the burning house.
"I'm here" Jesse croaked.
Steve came. He was dressed in full protective gear and oxygen mask.
"Jesse are you alright?" he asked urgently, touching his best friend's shoulder. Jesse scream in pain as Steve touched his burnt shoulder.
"Sorry" Steve said apologetically "can you walk?" as Jesse stood his legs collapsed under him and slipped into unconsciousness. Steve caught his friend before he hit the ground, gently picked him up, and carried him out of the burning house to his father, Jack, and Amanda, who were waiting to see if he was ok. Steve lay Jesse on the ground and Jack knelt at his side. Jesse's pulse was weak and his breathing ragged. He had some severe burns. Mark moved next to Jack.
" He has severe smoke inhalation, and burns." Jack said. Jesse started to stir.
"Jesse" Jack said "open your eyes for me buddy" Jesse opened his eyes slowly. Jack shined a penlight into his eyes. He looked up Mark and mouthed "He has a severe concussion"
"Jesse" Mark said concerned "when did you hit your head?"
"I….I don't remember" he looked at Jack dazed and confused.
"Its ok" he said putting a soothing hard on his shoulder. Jesse screamed hoarsely in pain.
"sorry" he said. Amanda handed him an oxygen mask "Just relax Jess, Your gonna be ok" he said as he put the oxygen mask over Jesse's face. Jesse nodded weakly and they moved him onto a gurney. Jack climbed into the ambulance behind him and the doors closed.
Jesse lay in the hospital, the oxygen mask over his face. The smoke had taken a toll on his body and lungs. He was still having trouble breathing, but it was getting better. The burns weren't as bad as Jack had first thought, the were only 2nd degree. But he still had that concussion and he felt dazed and confused. He wasn't very fond of the percussion band playing in his head but he thought it could have been much worse so he'd have to live with it for now.
Jesse was sleeping when Steve finally came to see how he was doing. Jack was standing by the bed writing something on his chart.
"Hey Jack" Steve said. "hey" Jack said. "How's he doing?" "He's fine, he should be able to go home tomorrow" Jesse opened his eyes and he smiled at that statement, and jack was surprised. Hearing all this Mark walked in "But you are gonna stay at the beach house until those burns are fully healed." Jesse's face fell "no arguments" Mark said. Everyone laughed.
