Seven Days
Chapter 1
I wake up a few hours later to Katie shaking me. She had been my best friend since middle school.
"Carly, Carly, wake up!" My eyes fluttered open and she let out a sigh of relief.
"W-what happened?" I asked holding my forehead. I had a killer headache and could barely keep my eyes open.
"You passed out last night, ever since Mark your drinking has been an issue. Do you know how many times I've brought you up here scared you won't wake up?!"
"Okay mom chill, I can handle myself, plus I gotta do what makes him happy." With that I passed out onto Katie's bed.

Beep..Beep..Beep
I jolted awake and grunbly twisted the doorknob. My head no longer pounded and I didn't feel dizzy. The beeping became louder as I carried myself to the kitchen. It was filled with smoke. I saw the faint outline of Katie waving smoke away from the fire detector. I ran into the smoke and grabbed her arm pulling her out of the house. We layed in the grass coughing from the smoke. The sirens in the distance got louder as the seconds felt like hours. My asmtha was acting up and I didn't have an inhaler. Katie caught her breath and tried to keep me calm. The neighbors were already gathering on the street, some were yelling and other stood emotionless.
"Carly get up we have to get to the ambulence." Her voice was shaking with fear, I tried getting to my feet but was knocked down by another coughing attack and fell.
"Someone help!" She begged as tears streamed down her face. Someone came running over, I didn't reconize him, but as he kneeled next to me. I got lost in the most amazing set of eyes I've ever seen.
