Falling in Love-Ch5

I was shaken awake by Sidney. I turned over and looked at the clock. It read 2:30A.M. I turned back to Sidney with a questioning look on my face. I looked at him for a long time until the smell of something burning, and that's when I started to talk.
"Uh, why am I awake at 2:30 in the morning, and why do I smell something burning?" I asked him. It had gotten really hot in the room so I tossed the blanket off my legs, but that didn't work the heat was suffocating me.
"There's a fire, and we're stuck in this room." He said, but I could see the panic in his face. I jumped up and grabbed my bag of clothes then ran over to get Sidney's bag. I came back and looked at Sidney, who was still sitting on my bed.
"Are you mad? Why are you just sitting there? We have to get out of here!" I half screamed at him.
"What are we suppose to do? We are stuck in this room and left to die." He replied in a calm voice. I looked around when my eyes settled on the window.
"What about the window?" I asked hopefully.
"Tried opening it. It didn't work." He said sadly. I looked around again, and my eyes settled on a chair in the corner for where visitors would sit, that is if I had any. I walked over to it and tried to lift it. The chair didn't budge an inch."Sid, come over here and help me pick up this chair." I said. He looked at me weird at first, but his weird look soon became a happy one. He walked over and lifted the chair all by himself. Sidney walked over to the window and threw the chair at it. The window shattered into a million little pieces. Sidney grabbed the two bags sitting by the window and threw them out the window. Sidney then climbed out kicking out the left over pieces of glass still left in the window frame. Once outside he turned around with arms outstretched. I climbed into his arms as he lifted me out of the burning hospital. We grabbed our bags and walked away from the burning building. Sidney and I must have walked for a long time because when we turned around to see how far we were all we could see was the flames from the fire. Sidney found a huge tree and laid our bags down then slid down to the ground himself. I did the same. I heard sirens in the distance. I wanted to walk nearer to the hospital, but I was so tired I couldn't get the strength to stand up. I laid my head on Sidney's shoulder, and he put his on my head. Both of us were soon sleeping soundly droning out the sirens in the distance. Just forgetting the fire and the broken window.
