Catherine POV:
A couple of nights later, I'm sitting on the couch in my living room flicking through the TV channels. Sara's at work, and Lindsey is around a friends so I'm all on my own and I hate it. I love having Sara here, someone to snuggle in with when we get home from work, someone to love me when I'm down, and someone who knows exactly the right things to say. I already find myself missing her and she has only been gone three hours. This is ridiculous but I've never been so in love. I find myself reaching down to my phone on the coffee table and speed dialling 1.
After only two rings she answers, 'Hey Cat.' I just wanted to hear her voice.
'Hey babe, how did you know it was me?'
'I'm physic. Not really, no Caller ID.' I know she's smiling on the other end. 'I can't talk for long babe; I'm on my way to a scene.'
'Ok, Sar. I just wanted to hear your voice that's all. I miss you when your not here. Feel free to give me a good morning kiss when you come in.' I feel tears forming in my eyes.
'You can count on that.' And she lets out a giggle. 'Are you ok Cat?'
'Yeah I'm fine; I'll see you when you get home. Love you.'
'Ok, if you're sure. Love you too Cat.' As we both hang up I turn off the TV and head to bed. I just lay there for a few minutes looking at the picture of me, Sara and Lindsey at the park which is on the bedside table before sleep consumes me.

What could have only been a couple of hours, I find myself waking up to the sound of an alarm going off. I take a glance at the clock at its only 3 in the morning. Then it comes clear, shit that's our fire alarm going off. I sit up in the bed and see smoke billowing through the bottom of the door. I open the door and I'm immediately pushed back from the intensity of the flames. I quickly close the door again and run into our on-suite bathroom to grab a towel to put over my mouth.
I go out and open the bedroom door again, holding my ground against the flames. I slowly step outside and see that the landing is nearly engulfed in flames, I look back to see that our bedroom is now completely filled with smoke.
That's it, I'm stuck, and this is how I'm going to die. I can feel the smoke start to affect me as I start to cough over and over again. Suddenly I hear the front door open.
'Cat, Cat where are you? Cat?' Thank god, it's Sara. But I can't speak; the smoke has lodged in my throat. I can feel myself getting weaker as I feel my legs collapse beneath me. I try to get back up but my legs have totally gone, and I feel myself falling back so I'm lying on my back. Everything has gone so blurry.
Then I see a wave of brown hair in front of me, bending down.
'Cat, are you ok? I came home because I was so worried about you earlier. Cat, Can you hear me?' I find myself still not being able to talk. Instead I squeeze one of her hands. 'Thank God. Can you walk for me? Cat, you have to keep your eyes open.'
But I can't all I hear is Sara crying as my eyes close and everything goes black.

Sara POV:
I was so worried when Cath phoned. I knew she was about to cry, all this stuff the last couple of weeks is really starting to get to her. I find myself not being able to concentrate so Nick tells me to go home, and I'm so glad I did.
As I pulled up to the house, I could see fire engines outside. But I didn't care about them. I knew Cat was still in there. They tried to stop me but I pushed my way through into the house and I found Cath at the top of the stairs. I tried to keep her awake but I broke down when she closed her eyes. But my stubborn instincts took over as I picked her up, so I was carrying her like I would over the threshold.
I managed to make it though the flames to the front door and outside, where I lay her down on the grass. I cradled her head in my lap, my fingers running through her hair as some paramedics ran over.
