Noah's POV

As I lay down on my bed staring at the ceiling, I had these strange feeling taking over me, I haven't slept at all for years now, the doctors, psychiatrist none of them were able to diagnose it, they all got tired of trying and named it Insomnia, whenever I tried to sleep I remember those dreadful nights I spent in the jail.

I had given up on sleep for about 11 years now, I was 10 and she was 9, they pulled her away from me and threw me in jail, I hope her new family is taking care of her

 Is she safe now?

Will I find her? 

Does she know I am out of jail now?

Will I ever get my Tes back? 

I tried to find her, as soon as I got out of jail, I went back to our house in Elemdale searching for her but it had been sold to a new family now, there were no traces of her, the foster home refused to give the details of her new family 

I cried and begged them but they wouldn't let me meet my Tes, I even sent a message through them that her Teo was back and wanted to see her. But I never got a response, I still go there every month to see if they have messages for me.

I worked hard every day in the jail to earn as much as I can so I can take care of my sister, Tes was like my baby even tho I was only a year older than her, I didn't want anyone else near her, I wanted to make sure she was in front of me and safe. 

Only if my mom hadn't married that man after dad died fighting for us, My dad was in the American army and he died fighting for us at the border, Mom thought we were kids and married another man, He was sweet to her but he was a monster, I never liked him, he would hit me and Tes, I would always protect her but that night he sent me out on purpose but when I was back what I had seen is the worst thing I had ever imagined. 

There was blood everywhere and he was on the floor, dead. Tes had crawled into a ball, she was holding her legs, on the ground, her head down on her knees and scared by the wall, she was crying, I had never seen her cry so much, as soon as she saw me, she ran to me, her hands and frock covered in blood and there was a knife on the floor, I bent down to take it and put it away since it was scaring her. 

She wouldn't stop crying, She was scared, I held her close to me and she looked at me with her tear-filled eyes and said: " I killed him ". The words still ring in my ears, My Tes had killed him and before I could talk to her the cops barged in, The neighbors heard multiple screams and had called the cops, She was scared, she held on to me more tightly than before and her sobs increasing by the moment, closing her eyes tightly and kept whispering " I don't want to go to jail Theo, save me ", IDK what had happened that night but I had to save her, and the cops dragged out of the house for the murder of Morrisa Rose and Jonny Rose, I saw my mom lying in the hallway, Idk what made Tes kill them but I was sure she had done it only for her self defense. I looked her into the eyes and told her I'll come back, her whole world had been taken away from her in one night.

And the way the other inmates treated me in jail, abusing me, torturing me, even almost killing me, I would be awake the whole night scared to sleep cause I dint want anyone to kill me, I wanted to be alive for her, Tes. 

They would hit my head to the wall and scrape my skin off, that's when I decided I didn't want to live anymore, only the thought of a little girl standing by the door waiting for me would keep me alive. I was alive for her, I wanted to keep her safe with me.

I came out of jail when I was 16, serving my 6years of hell in jail, I searched for her in every orphanage, in every foster home but I could never find her, I asked everyone I knew but in their eyes, I was just a person who had killed his own parents.

I managed to sleep on the streets and eat whatever I could and kept searching for my Tes for 2 years until I gave up after I saw an article in a newspaper which described a girl falling off the bridge and ending her life after the family was found dead. My heart didn't want to think it was my Tes, I knew she was safe somewhere but when I saw the photo of the girl, My heart broke into pieces.

I didn't know how many months passed before I decided to live and make her proud and happy by living her dreams for her, music was closer to her heart, she would always dance along, She would love sleeping listening to songs that I would sing for her, She would tell my Theo will be the worlds best singer. Tes was closer to me than mom. But my heart still doesn't agree that she killed mom, All the answers to my questions had ended with her.

 I decided to move to NYC and continue my studies with the scholarship that I was given due to my past in jail, then I realized I couldn't sleep at all, I had been so used to that routine that I never realized it until I moved to NYU and started college and Music. If James wasn't there I would have ended my life a few months ago, I was diagnosed with severe depression and insomnia, I went to several best doctors in town nothing worked, I even started sessions with Dr. Lee, I would talk to him about everything I feel, he even gave me meds, I have been taking since a year now but I have never felt something like last night.
