This has been the longest six weeks of my entire life! Especially, with me having to wear a boot around my ankle 24/7 but luckily the boot is off now and I'm back to my normal self but Yasmin and her girly girlfriends are still pushing me about, whenever they get the chance. The only thing I'm glad about is that they don't know that my parents are cops and that they are currently investigating her and her 3 friends.

I was walking up to the steps of the school and I see my best friend Liam, who I've known since 3rd grade. "Morning Li, you alright?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm good" he replied. Liam gave his best friend a hug and as she pulled away from the hug to go to my locker, I get shoved into the lockers by Yasmin. "WATCH IT BITCH" she yelled at me. From the look, I saw on her face, she was up to something and it wasn't going to end well. My gut feeling tends to always be right.

First class of the day was Maths, which wasn't really my favourite subject, followed by English, Art, history and then Chemistry. Luckily me and Liam are in all the same classes and we sit next to each other in all our lessons. Yes, my dad has met him and he actually likes Liam. He always asks, if he's my boyfriend and when he asks I really cringe. Even Grandpa Hank has met him and asks the same question. Liam wants to be a cop and I want to be a firefighter and we both support each other in our future career aspirations.

The day has gone rather quickly and I was now in Chemistry class, sitting at my desk in the middle of the classroom and then Mr Benson walks into the room. "Good afternoon everyone, settle down please," he said. But 4 specific girls. "Yasmin, Holly, Kelsie and Xanthe, I've asked for quiet and you four are still talking and it's disrespectful and unfair to the others that are wanting to learn," Mr Benson said in a serious tone before talking in a calmer tone. "Today we are carrying on with our experiments, so get all the equipment out that you need and continue".

I looked over at the four girls that were at the desks a couple of rows behind me and Liam, they were seriously up to something by the way they were acting. But I just brushed it off and continued with the experiment. The teacher had left the room to go and collect some revision sheets from the printer and that's when the girls did something that, because there was a really strong smell and a hissing sound. That was the sound of gas. I saw the girls walk out the room before anything could happen. I look at everyone doing their work but at that moment I knew I had to take action before anyone could get seriously injured.

"GET DOWN NOW, THIS ROOM IS ABOUT TO BLOW" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Everyone looked at me and then saw what I was talking about but by the time everyone got down the classroom went up in flames. But this wasn't an accident, this was arson. It was done deliberately. As I went down, I was clinging to Liam for dear life. My ears were ringing, I grabbed my phone out my pocket, which was still in tacted and I had some signal, so I text my mom and dad said 9-1-1 explosion at school and then I rang 911.

911: 911 what your emergency?

Maisie: Theres been an explosion at Chicago Central High School in the chemistry lab

911: Is anyone hurt

Maisie: Not that I know of. I saw 4 girls messing the gas tanks and left the room before the explosion and I told everyone to get down before it all happened

911: Can I ask you what your name is?

Maisie: My name is Maisie Halstead. Detective Jay and Hailey Halstead are my parents, they are part of intelligence. I've sent them a text saying 911 and they will know what it means. I... I... can't breathe.

911: Help is on the way and will be with you shortly. What number is the classroom?

Maisie: 526, 5th floor

911: Alright Maisie, I'm going to have to go and answer other calls but keep the line free incase we need to call you back.

Maisie: O..ok

The line went dead and I looked at Liam, who had a head wound. "Li, you alright?" I asked. He tried moving. "Don't move alright, you've got a nasty head wound" I said. So, I took my sweater off and wrapped it around my best friends head, to keep some pressure on the wound. I was aware of the flame that surrounded the classroom but I didn't care if I got burned because all I cared about was that everyone got out this room alive.

Jay's Pov

Sitting at my desk with a nice cup of coffee, both mine and Hailey's phone went off at the same time and it was a text from Maisie saying 9-1-1 at school. I looked over at my wife and instant panic set in and then Hank walked into the bullpen from his office.

"9-1-1 received a call from Maisie saying there was an explosion in the chemistry lab on the fifth floor of the school and that four girls left the room before it happened. So gear up everyone" Hank said, and everyone got up from their desk like a shot and ran to the locker room to grab their gear and head to the school.

"Hailey, try ringing Mai to see if she's okay" I said in a panic. "Babe, it's going straight to voicemail" she said and walked over to me to give me a hug to comfort me, because she knows that me and Maisie have close and special bond. We both grab our vests and ran to my truck to race down to the school and I'm praying that she is outside when we get there because I don't know what I would do if I lost my little girl.

It was the most painstaking 15 minute drive of my life not knowing if my little princess was okay. But as we pull up to the school, Truck 81, engine 51 and squad 3 were all on scene, so I jump out of the truck and run over to Matt and Kelly who are Maisie's uncle/godfathers. "KELLY, MATT" I shouted from a distance and they turned to see me running toward them. "Jay, you alright?" Matt asked. "Maisie's in the building. In the same room the explosion happened" I replied. "What floor of the school is she on?" Kelly asked. "5th floor room 526" I said and both firefighter gathered their teams and headed into the school. Before Kelly turned back to me. "We will find her Jay. I promise, nothing is going to happen to my goddaughter because I will protect her with my life" he said before running into the school building.

Maisie's Pov

Still stuck in the flaming classroom, finding it hard to breathe. What felt like an eternity it had been 30 minutes, I got up carefully and Liam was following. "No Li, stay sat down, I don't want you collapsing" I said "Mai, I'm fine but if I do go, please know that I love you, I have been in love with you since the 9th Grade and I've just been scared to tell you" Liam said to his best friend. "I've been scared to admit it too. I've been in love with you since the 9th Grade as well.So, I love you too Li. Always have, always will" I said before he pulled me in for a gentle kiss. Who imagined having your first kiss in a blown up class room.

Maisie managed to get Liam to sit down again because, she went to check on the other in her class but most of them were near the explosion. I went around checking to see if they had a pulse but none of them did. They were all dead. The only two that were alive in the classroom was Maisie and Liam. Along of a sudden there was the sound of two familiar voices she knew quite well. Her uncles/godfathers.

"Fire department call out" Matt shouted, "Fire department call out" Kelly yelled. Then I finally had the enough power to speak up. "Uncle Kelly, Uncle Matt in here" I said with as much strength as I could. Both of them came rushing into the room. "Get Liam out of here quickly, he need his head wound treating" I said abruptly. Matt climbed moved the desks out the way and picked up Liam and took him out the room. Then Uncle Kelly came over to my and picked me up and I started to feel lightheaded. "Mai Mai, stay with me alright" Kelly said to me softly. I nodded and gripped onto him for dear life.

After the longest time, we finally made it outside and I was carried to an waiting ambulance which was crewed by Gabby and Brett and then I head the booming voice of my dad over everyone speaking. "Maisie, oh my princess! I was so scared that I lost you" my dad said with tears in his eyes. I squint my eyes closed in pain because, I can feel my skin burning. "Maise was wrong?" Brett asked. "My legs are burn...ing" I said, trying to get over the pain in. Then I tried to sit up in a bit of panic "Where Li dad?" I asked in a panic with tears in my eyes. "He already on his way to Med, which is where your going okay and I'm going to be with you the entire way" my dad whispered to me. "What about mom?" i asked without trying to cry. "She's meet us there. She know's that your a dady's girl when your hurt" he replied and I nodded and he held my hand the entire way to the hospital to comfort me

We arrived at Med the same time as Liam's ambulance and he was rushed in, in front of me. My uncle took on Liams case. "2 incoming from Chicago Central explosion" Maggie stated. "Dr Halstead, your up" the head nurse said.

"What we got" Will asked the paramedics."Liam Glade, 17 years old, was involved in the Chicago Central high explosion, open head wound which was cover before we got to the patient. BP122/78, GCS 14. 5ml of morphine was administered in the field" a paramedic from ambo 74 said, as they wheeled him into trauma 5 and then I was wheeled in.

"Dr Choi, your up" Maggie said. Dr Choi comes running over. "What have we got?" he asked Brett. "Maise Halstead, 17 years old, involved in the Chicago Central high explosion, burns to both of her lower legs and is complains of dizziness when she was brought out by firefighters. 5ml of morphine was administered in the field. BP 124/88. GCS 12" Brett stated to Dr Choi. "Let's take her to trauma 4" he said before turning back to speak to my dad. "Jay your going to have to stay out here while I assess her injuries" and then rushed into trauma 4.

My breathing was stating to shake because of the pain I was in and Ethan start to notice. "Maisie, I need you take some deep breath for me, whilst I treat your burns" Ethan asked me. I looked the doctor in the eyes "I want my dad" with my voice cracking and tears running out of my eyes because of the pain. Dr Choi runs out the room to get my dad and he is in the room like a flash. "Jay, gently lift Maisie up and sit behind her for comfort, whilst we treat her burn. I warn you it is going be painful and she will most likely scream" Ethan said before he started to treat me. They put a nasal oxygen on me because of my breathing. I felt my dad sit behind me and bring my head to his chest and hug me gently and kissed the top of my head.

When Dr Choi started applying the burns cream it was so painful, I let out a blood curdling scream and the entire ER went silent. I could hear my dad telling me it going to be alright and that it will be over soon and that Liam could come and see me, because his head wound only needed to be cleaned and stitched up. Out the corner of my eye I could see Uncle Will at the nurses station with the whole of the intelligence unit and 51, looking like they are on the brink of tears. I saw Liam stand by Grandpa Hank and when the next layer of the cream was applied to my burns I let out another painful scream and it made me feel sick and I could see the pain in Liam's eyes that he had to see me go through something so painful.

I was crying so much, it made my dad cry. Dr Choi allowed my mom into the room to hold my hand and put and arm around my dad. My mom was telling that everything is going to be okay and that I wouldn't be in pain anymore and that I could relax. She kissed the top of my head and rubbed her thumb over my hand, like she did when I was a little girl and that calmed me down and it slowed my breathing down, back into a normal pattern. But because of the all the screaming and crying it made me so tired, I fell asleep in my dad arms. I don't care if I'm almost 18 years old. I will always be a daddy's girl, when it comes to be ill or injured.
