Like last time, he didn’t even ask if we were 

safe

He just said, Lily, our place is on fire. Go 

knock on Annabelle’s door and get them out!” 

Last time, Mom wasn’t there when he called

She had no idea what he said

She always thought going to the neighbor’s 

was my idea

Hearing it now, Mom frowned

I quickly shushed her and asked, But Dad

The hallway’s on fire. If we go next door, we 

might not get out

What should we do?” 

As expected, Dad yelled

You have to go! Even if it means dying!” 

Mom stared, blinking in disbelief, and I was

After a moment, he seemed to realize he’d 

lost it

No, Lily…

furious

But Dad had pulled my oxygen to make me 

take the blame

This time, I was going to expose them all

Mom, I always thought Dad and Annabelle 

were a little weird. I don’t mind helping them 

out, but now that we’re talking about life or 

death, Dad doesn’t even care about us!” 

I watched Mom’s face as I spoke

She shed a few tears, but wiped them away

and started pulling me down the stairs again

He can ignore me, but not his daughter

Let’s go. He’s a firefighter. If he wants to 

save people, let him!” 

Thinking of last time, I smiled

Roaring flames and broken beams

If he wanted to save them, let him
