The smell of smoke filled the air. "THIS WAY!"screamed Lachlan. Flames were all around us, letting of extreme heat. Lachlan led the way, through the school corridor. People screamed. People cried. Windows exploded from the heat of the blaze. Fire. Fire. Fire. Burn. Burn. Burn.
Lachlan run through the exit door, just before the blaze crossed my path, blocking the exit. "CORTANA!" screamed Lachlan. "URHHHGGGG!" I was going to die. And at school to. What a way to go, burned to death at school. The roof collapsed behind me. Ok. I'm doing it. I'm going to run into the fire. 3...2...1...
I ran straight through the fire, out the exit. I fell into the fresh, non-smoky air. The air felt so good, clearing out my lungs, I nearly forgot I was on fire! Oh crap, I thought. That really hurts! Ow! Burns! Oh my god! Please kill me now! The pain! It hurts so much!
Some one splashed water on my, but that made the pain worse. I looked up. i saw lachlan standing there with a gardening hose. It was just me and Lachlan, out side, alone. "Cortana! Oh no! Please no!" he started crying. I tried to speak. Tell him I was okay. But I wasn't. Burns were all up my right side. On my face, arms, body and the worst place; my legs. I could feel the life fading from me. I could tell I was still on burning. "Lachlan...I im sorry... I lo-love y-you.." "no! Your not dying! Please... God no! No no no!"
I reach up, using my last energy to touch his face. His face was red. Tears poor down his cheeks. He pushes my hair out of my face, leans In and kisses me on the lips.
Memories flood my mind. Me and Lachlan. When I first had a crush on him. I thought he would never like me. But he did. Six month later he asked me out. Tow weeks later we had our first kiss. I remember the soft feel. The way my heart felt. The way his cheeks glowed bright red. When he then told me he loved me. I remember the way we used to tease and make jokes. I smiled thinking of the time I stepped is a big bit of chewy gum and couldn't get it off. He laughed at me and told me to wipe it on the rock, but it didn't work. He got a stick and tried to scrape the gum off. It was really gross but so funny.
I looked at his black wavy hair. His blood red eyes. His pink lips that he bit down on to stop crying noises from escaping. I cried because I didn't want to leave him. I loved him so much. And I'm sure he loved me to. My vision started to blur because of the tears in my eyes. "I l-love y-ou sssso m-mu-much." I say closing my eyes. My voice was a week l whisper. "I...I love you... to.." pain was in his voice. He wasn't physically hurt though. I felt it. My death. It started ripping my chest and then my whole body. I died there. In Lachlan's arms.
