The Boles Fire. by Sonia Ferguson (book recommendations for teens TXT) 📕

she's gonna help me look for things that survived. She came back with her mom, dad and brother. We I saw her mom I ran to her and she hugged me longer and tighter than anyone else. She  almost cried seeing my house. And she had to leave because she just needed to calm down. We went to her house later that day. She kept saying that I'm like her daughter and that is true. She was happy that we were okay.

Later there was a town meeting saying when the school is opening. We went and I saw so many people I knew. I was happy to see them but overwhelmed at the same time.

When they opened school again I saw my class and I hugged a lot of them. I was happy. I saw my best friends too. I even saw the other people who lost their house and didn't feel obligated to walk away.

 

It's now months after the fire and from October untill December I was okay with what happend to my house, but then I started thinking. I remember where my bear was. It was  in my closet. I could've grabbed my laundry hamper and I didn't. I still wake up crying, still wake up, almost crying, thinking that it still is September 15, 2014, and I still cry thinking about my stuffed bear. I still think about my cats. Samson and Rodney, I have seen them around angel valley. I have seen Jakey and Macy around the steets together where the once roamed looking for us. And Misty, well I think I've seen her, but I miss her as much as everyone else.

 

So, I guess I survived this, with battle scares but, I got through it, not alone but with others at my side.
