It takes place years from now, my boyfriend Cedar has become my husband and we have two beautiful children. Corrie Michelle Forte who looks like my mother and Xavier Thomas Forte who looks like his father. Corrie is around ten years old while Xavier is an infant. I pull up to the house with Xavier in a booster seat strapped in behind me. Cedar and Corrie were at home making dinner for us all. I step out of the car and turn to get Xavier out. I smell the smoke before I see it, large black columns of smoke are pouring out of the windows. Leaving the baby in the car, I call 911 as I run inside to save my family. I get in just in time to pull Corrie out, her skin, clothes and hair charred black or missing. I hear sirens and Xavier crying in the background, I feel my hands burning but none of it really gets through to me everything I see is blurry except for the house and my daughter dying in my arms. I hear his screams cut through the fog of my mind. Screaming my name before a loud pop is heard and he goes silent. He's dead. The paramedics try to pick up Corrie and my grip on her tightens. She whimpers and I hand her over to them knowing I can do nothing. I sit in the grass watching the chaos and I black out, falling to the ground. The scene cuts to the funeral. My daughter and my husband have died, their coffins sit next to each other. Both burnt far to badly to be open, my heart shatters as I try and go to them. I collapse on the floor wailing and beating the ground with my fists. I'm scooped up by strong arms, one of my best friends' Corvin, he picks me up and I beat his chest instead of the floor until I collapse against him sobbing. He comforts me until I fall asleep. At this point it switches to third person view. I see him sitting in a chair close to the couch he laid me on, back straight eyes forward like a watch dog ready to eat anyone that came near me. Xavier's cries wake me from a sleep like the dead. All I can do is hold him while we both cry.
