She could smell the gas even before she opened the door. She could hear the laughter of her friends behind her. She knew something was up. ''Girls, I smell gas'' she said, now turning around looking at them. A girl looked up at her and shook her head laughing, totally drunk. 

''Yeah sure Naïme, I don't smell anything so just come back so that we can continue never have I ever. Or you want to fuck Steve Harrington at the end of this street.'' the girl replied as she didnt believe her friend. Naïme stared at her, rolling her eyes. ''Steve is my sister her boyfriend, besides Steve and i are just friends'' 

The other friend who took a shot just a minute ago laughed at her friend, not believing it. ''You sure there is nothing more?'' Naïme laughed a bit and nodded. ''Yes I am sure there is nothing more.'' ''So uhm Naïme you want to leave now on your own birthday?'' the girl who was totally drunk said. 

The girls were in the drunk girl her house, because their were the good stuff and the house was big. It was 28th of August, Naïme her birthday. She was now 17 years old. ''Okay but I am serious girls. I smelled gas so lets go out and call the fire departement'' The second girl grabbed Naïme her arm. ''Don't be such a partypooper'' ''Liv! I am being serious'' Naïme now shouted at her friend, dragging her now to the frontdoor. 

''Kaylee please try to get some sense into our best friend!'' Liv cried out. But Kaylee laid passed out on the floor. Too drunk and couldnt hear her friends anymore. ''Just great'' whispered Naïme. As she was close to the door a loud explosion made her and Liv get thrown to the back of the house. Naïme coughed as she just hit her head hard to the wall. She felt warm blood trickle down her forhead on her dress. 

She looked around and saw huge flames now infront of her. Thick smoke she started to inhale which made her drop to the ground and stay laying there to still have some fresh air. She looked around for her best friends. She gasped at the sight. Somewhere where a closet had fallen...saw she Liv her arm out of it....she was crushed by the closet...tears filled her eyes as she realised Liv was dead now. Then she heard also people outside. 

''NAÏME!!'' She heard, not knowing who called out her name. Slowly she tried to get to Kaylee who laid there unconcious. She picked up her friend and slowly dragged herself with her to the backdoor where was only a small fire. Naïme pulled off her dress and made it wet in the kitchen as it was still safe there. She threw it on Kaylee and then she looked at the small fire. She needed to get through it. But she was all naked. Would she even survive.....

Naïme swallowed, but knew she couldnt wait any longer. As fast as she could she ran through the flames with Kaylee in her arms, she ran untill she was infront off the house and saw people. Steve looked at her, having a hand on Nancy her shoulder who now also looked at her. A fireman took Kaylee over from Naïme. Nancy had tears in her eyes as she saw doctors rushing to her sister who just collapsed on the ground. They stopped the fire on her back. 

Steve pulled Nancy back as she screamed for her sister. They watched how the doctors put an iv in her arm and gave her oxigen. They brought Naïme in the ambulance and Nancy ran to one of the ambulanceworkers. "I am coming with you" she said glancing at her sister at the brandcard.

"I will come with you" Steve said, putting a hand on her shoulder for comfort. The ambulanceworkers nodded and they got inside and sat down, Nancy meanwhile texting her mum to get to the hospital.

Pain. Thats what went through Naïme her back. She woke up and screamed in pain as doctors started putting her onto a hospitalbed and began to take care of her burns. Nancy hugged Steve, unable to look at her sister who was in agony.

Mrs Wheeler ran into the hospital, worried about her oldest daughter. She then heard her child screaming in pain and saw her second child sobbing in Steve his arms. "Naïme, just pinch my arm really hard. They are gonna put this creme on you. Its gonna sting but we are here. Your going to be okay Naïme."

But she shook her head trying to get up, but the doctors pushed her gently back down. "It hurts please make it stop" she said, sobbing. After a while Naïme agreed to let the doctors help her. Kaylee was treated in the other room. But at the lack of oxigen and the amount of smoke she inhaled, her heart slowly stopped. Doctors rushed to her and did cpr.

In the waitingroom Mrs Wheeler sat beside Nancy and Steve, waiting for a doctor to tell them that they are done. "Its her birthday" Nancy muttered. "I know...I know" Steve said, holding her hand.

And just like that as the screaming of Naïme stopped, the heart of Kaylee stopped beating. Naïme was okay, but Kaylee was gone. Just like Liv. In one night Naïme lost two of her best friends and that was just the beginning of her pain.
