Chapter One - The Beginning of The End'
'It all started on December 31st 2007 in Los Angeles, Not only the turn of a new century but my turn to become a man. My 18th birthday the big one. Everybody thinks of their 16th as the big one but honestly I wasn't one to do birthdays so had missed out on the ''supposed big one'' for my big 18th. All my mates and enemy's and mate's mates were there for one of what should have been the best night ever but was the strangest night ever. I'd woken up that morning with two totally extreme feelings. One of pure excitement and one of shere dread that if something went wrong not only would I be in loads of trouble but so would other people. I was just being silly as all hosts do and just hoped for the best.
It had been planned, checked, double checked and triple checked. I was pumped by midday and time wasn't moving fast I wish it would. Steph was gonna be there tonight and I wanted to impress. Things had been a bit strange between us over the whole of the building up weeks. I wasn't sure if we were off or we were on and if we were what was happening. The theme of the party was a neon rave with a band called 'The Mighty Pretenders' playing a set for me.
We weren't well off and the whole party was my present and nothing else. Not like on those shows where they pay for the whole lavish party and then get 3 fancy BMW's and a new house all to themselves. For me it was just the party and was all I wanted. Something to be remembered for all the right reasons. To the party I was gonna wear a yellow headband, a white wifebeater and some white trackies with lumionous yellow paint in war paint stripes on my face. We turned up at the club. The band were already there getting everything ready for themselves and the staff were there doing there bit. I walked into the room it was smokey and lights were going everywhere strobes and neon. And this was without anyone in. For us to have the smoke machine we had to turn the fire alarm off so it wouldn't pick it up. I walked outside to take a breath of fresh air and look at the scenery outside. The sun was setting and I knew my night was about to get started and was going to be crazy, mental, amazing I don't think there was a word to describe it. My best freinds Hugh, Angus and Jazzeh turned up and they had helped me through all the bad times of my life and here they were standing by my side. Nothing could have been better. The guests started to coming and I greeted them at the door and said things were just getting started.
Half an hour passed and all the guests were inside and I enetered at just the right moment the strobe came on and the neon looked amazing. There was a mosh pit at the front for the band everybody was pumped and dancing there heads off. I joined in and people were coming up to me and saying how sick the night was. In the middle of a song by the band and while the strobe was on there was a huge flash of light and soon the only thing you could see was the flames erupting at the back as they rushed towards us. Everybody was screaming and ran with people being pushed and shoved to move out the way.
I rushed outside to find mum. No sign of her. I couldn't wait for the firemen and pushing people off me I rushed inside the flames over bearing me, It was soo hot... I started shouting
MUM WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?
MUM MUM MU....'
