New Home

I opened my eyes. I could smell the smoke and I could feel it burning my lungs. I looked out my window and there were wildfires surrounding los` Angeles . I heard my mom shout to my dad and brother we have to evacuate Los Angeles. Once we got out of Los Angeles I started crying when I looked back and I saw that all the towers were burning down and the Los Angeles Dodgers Stadium was burning when we got to the airport. The only plane that wasn't full was the plane to Tampa bay. We hopped on and on the flight I remembered how when I was sleeping my mom woke me up and shouted lets go, we have to evacuate Los Angeles it was a perfect night but when I woke up Los Angeles was in burning flames. Once we got to Florida we went straight to buy a house and furniture, once we got a house and furniture we Went straight to our rooms to play on our phones . Our mom called us down to help push all the furniture into the right spots we said no, we're too busy on our phones playing games. She said then go play outside and make this house a home so we went outside and played and made friends all day long. When we got back to our house that night there were two friends staying for a sleepover. That night we had so much fun playing Road hockey our friends let us use some of their sticks since we didn't have any yet we also were in our rooms playing with RC cars. It was the best night ever. That night I felt like our house was a home. The next morning we played with our friends all day
