Me and JB 83

“Stop it!” I cried again. The flashing of the cameras were making my eyes spazz out. I dropped to my knees and tried crawling through peoples legs. That didn’t work so I just got up and pushed through the crowd. This was getting really annoying. I stopped about five feet from the kitchen when Joe came out.
“FIRE!” he screamed.
“What?” I yelped. Then, the smoke alarms starting to go off. What now?
“EVERYONE OUT OF THE BUILDING !” screamed Joe. Nick came out of the kitchen and grabbed me by the hand.
“We have to get out now!” he yelped. Everyone was pushing past each other. We were the last to make it to the doorway. This was a disaster. We waited on the lawn as fire engines pulled up in the driveway.
“You all stay out until it’s safe!” called a fire fighter.
“Don’t take a step!” called another. This wasn’t going too well.
“I’m sorry!” I said. It wasn’t my fault but Nick looked worried.
“I don’t care about the party!” he yelped.
“Then what’s wrong?”
“Frankie was in the kitchen!”
