One might say that 5 years ago I was kind of a rebel. I’d do what I wanted when I wanted and didn’t care what anyone said. I had a terrible attitude and it’s fair to say I was extremely entitled. I’m not that person anymore and that’s all thanks to the one luckily unlucky night I had. 


5 years earlier- 

 The sky looked as though it was burning as the thick black smoke was billowing. Fire trucks piled up and down the street. Cop cars scattered and EMTs surrounding. Neighbors rushed to my side as the EMTs came. Mrs, Nebel my Nanny rushed here as soon as she could. Stephanie well she was frozen solid she had no idea what to say. I’m fighting to stay awake because I want to be able to take in everyone’s faces. What even happened to me? Am I going to be ok? Where are my parents how come they haven’t arrived? I  I don’t think I can keep my eyes open any longer. 

1 month later-

What where am I? Mom? Dad? “Cassie sweetie are you ok?” What happened where are we? “ we’re in the hospital there was an incident and you got hurt.” 

“Hi I’m Doctor Greene I’m glad to see you awake Cassie” Awake what do you mean? How long was I out? “You were in a coma for a month.” A month but what happened to me! Mom? How did I get hurt? 
“The house it uh caught fire while you were sleeping.” While I was sleeping but how am I ok? “We will talk about that later right now you get some rest. Ok Mom.

5 weeks later- 

I can’t do it Mom! I already told you it just hurts too much. “ I know it hurts but you need to keep trying.” Can’t I just not do therapy today? “Ok fine but you aren’t skipping out tomorrow.” Ok Mom love you. Yeah yeah love you too. 

6 months later- 
It’s just not working! I’m not regaining strength in my arms or legs. I can’t even eat by myself! I’m completely useless I can’t do anything independent ever again. How come I was rescued that night! I didn’t  deserve to be helped. “Hey I beg to differ you were definitely worth rescuing.” What  Micah? Oh my you what happened to you?  “like I said did you really think I’d just let you die in that house?” You saved me why? I was only mean to you heck I was mean to everyone in town. Why’d they help me get better when I’ve done nothing to deserve it? “ You needed help I didn’t need proof on whether you deserved it or not.” “ So you weren’t the model person but that’s  because you didn’t have the best influences. I wasn’t going to let you just die.” Your arm is that because of the fire? “Oh uh yeah they tried to do what they could to save it but they couldn’t.” How did you end up saving me I swear I seen firemen? “It was before the firemen got there the house was flaming up too fast.” “They would’ve been to late to save you.” 
I can’t thank you enough like literally it’s impossible. “You don’t have to thank me just promise you’ll change and when the time comes help someone who needs it.” 

Present time- 
 
5 years ago Micah saved my life. I would’ve died in that house but he made sure I didn’t. I know I can’t ever thank him for what he’s done so I’ve gone everywhere I can helping people. I go around the entire world with my husband and we help anyone possible. What happened to my house back then was an extremely unlucky event but Micah saving me was lucky. He not only saved me from dying in that house but he gave me a chance to change myself and the world I live in I couldn’t ask for anything better than a second chance. 


The end
