Chapter 14: How to save a Life
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Benji pov
I hate him I hate Joel! I knew he would do something like this he is such an asshole.
I run into the fire, I hear Jane and Billy yelling at me to stop yelling at me not to go in but I shut them out.
I put my hands over my mouth, trying to see through the flames.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I try to find my way up the stairs to Jayde's bedroom, the door won't open I realized that Jayde must have locked the door. I take a few steps back and then run at the door pushing down on it, and it opened.
I look around searching for any sign of Jayde, and out of the corner of my eye I see it, I see her.
Jayde lay underneath her wardrobe which had fell down on top of her motionless body.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
The room was becoming more filled with flames and smoke fogged up the room. I knew that I had to get her out that I had to save her life.
Tears streamed down my face as I tried with all my might to lift the wardrobe off her.
I stand in the middle of the room burning down before my eyes, the only place were I had ever felt safe, the only place I had ever considered calling home.
I have to save her,
But how?
How do I save a life?
I start to feel determined and I know what I have to do.
I put my hands underneath the wardrobe and lift with everything I had in me.
All the insults and abuse I had got from my dad and brother, all the hurt I had felt when Joe tried to hurt Jayde, the anger I had towards Joel for burning down my home and all the love I felt for Jayde. I used all of this to my advantage and put it all into lifting the wardrobe.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I finally get the wardrobe off Jayde. I pick her up and carry her bridal style through the house.
The smoke was becoming unbearable I couldn't see were I was going.
I heard voices but couldn't tell where they were coming from.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
"BENJI"
That was Jane, I think I might be close I keep running until I reach the front door.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
The front door I couldn't get through there was broken bits of ceiling blocking my exit. I turned around to go back through the back door.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
I run through the fire, coughing from all the smoke. I finally made my way to the back door but I couldn't get through it the flames were to high.
I go to the window and punch it with all the strength I had left, I made it big enough so that I could get Jayde through it then get through it myself.

I get Jayde through the window then climb through myself, it was just in time because the whole house engulfed in flames.
I carried Jayde while running out the front to where Jane and Billy were standing. Jane had tears streaming down her face and Billy was comforting her.

"Oh Benji, we were so worried and Jayde."
I looked down and the girl I was holding in my arms not wanting to let go. Jayde started coughing loudly and I smiled at her telling her that everything would be alright.
The ambulance and fire brigade arrived sirens blaring.
They made there way over to us.
Jayde looked up at me and said "Thank you Benji you saved my life."
