My Story

Chapter Forty-One

I woke up in the middle of the night and kept hearing banging noises. I looked at Seb who was asleep under me. I tried to ignore the banging, but this one was louder then the others. It made me jump up. I started shaking Sebastien. He just groaned. I thought to myself that maybe the noise was just coming from outside. I laid back down on Seb and closed my eyes. Not even five minutes later I heard footsteps. I don't think anyone else should be in the house. I heard them coming closer. My eyes widened.
I shook Sebastien trying to walk he up. "Sebastien please wake up." I started to cry.
"What's wrong?"
"I keep hearing banging and someone walking in the house."
"What?" He said and got up. He turned on the light and put his pants on. "Stay here." He left the room leaving me alone. I waited a couple of minutes before he came back, but he was on the phone. I was sitting on the bed with the blanket over my legs.

"Yeah. Uh no. No I don't think anything is missing, everything is just thrown. Yeah okay." He said and hung up the phone.
"What happened?"
"Everything is thrown all over the place. The house is a mess now."
I tried to get up from the bed to go look, but Sebastien stopped me.
"Baby you don't need to go and see."
"Did you check my room?" I asked knowing my iPad an laptop are in there.
"I didn't I'll go check for you."
"Can I come with you, because I know what I'd be looking for." He looked at me for a bit.
"Okay come on." I got up from the bed and he grabbed my hand leading me to my room.
I started looking through my things I took out my laptop and my notebook. I kept searching and couldn't find my iPad. I started to freak out.
"No no no." I said starting to take out everything from my bag.
"What? What is it?" Seb asked.
"My iPad isn't here." I said and moved to my other bag where I was hoping it was in there. I looked in there and there was nothing in there. "Seb my iPad is gone." I started to cry.
"Are you sure?"
"Am I sure? What kind of question is that you see me searching for it." I snapped at him.
"Baby, I'm sorry."

I kept looking at in my bag for it and I only found the pen I took it out and just cried.
"Baby." Seb said softly.
"I had every drawing I did of my mom on there."
"Baby, I'll buy you a new one and you can transfer everything on there."
"I don't want a new one. I want the one I had." I cried into my hand.
There was a knock on the door and Seb helped me off the floor and we walked to the door. This place was a mess I sat down on the couch. Literally everything was thrown looked like a tornado went through this house.
"No me and my girlfriend were just sleeping and she woke up and heard banging, and someone walking in here.
"And you said nothing was stolen."
"Nothing of mine but in her room there her iPad is missing." Seb said looking over at me.
"An iPad? That's it?" One of the officers said.
"Yeah, whoever I was on the phone with I told them nothing was taken, but then she wanted to go look in her room and the only thing missing was her iPad."
"Okay well if you don't mind we would like to look around the house to make sure that no one is in the house." Seb nodded and let them go look.
"You okay Baby?" I just nodded and rested my head on the pillow beside me.

One of the officers sat down next to me and pulled out their pen and notepad. Ugh the questioning.
"So from you I would like to hear what happened." They said.
"Well um.... I was asleep and just randomly woke up. I heard banging and then it got louder, but to keep my mine at ease I just told myself that it was probably just something outside banging on the house. I tried going back to sleep, but then I heard footsteps and tired waking him up." I said pointing at Seb. "I told him what I had heard and then he went to go check and I just stayed in the bedroom."
"And when did you check your room and notice your iPad was gone?"
I started tearing up a bit and looked over at Seb.
"I had came back to the room and she had asked if she can go see if anything was missing from her room. I took her and she started looking through her bags and everything but her iPad was in there." Seb had said for me.
"That's it?"
I nodded, "Yeah that iPad just means a lot to me I draw on it and it had all the drawings I did of my mother." I said.
"Okay, there is not much we could do about that since you both didn't see this person; we have no identity of what to look for."
"I understand." Sebastien said.
"But if you guys find anything just let the station know."
"Alright I will."
The other officer came into view looking a bit concerned.
"Are those doors over there always locked?"
"Which doors?" Seb said following the officers. I got my ass off that couch 'cause I didn't want to be alone.
"No these doors are never locked." Seb said a little confused. I walked to the kitchen to get the key for them. He unlocked it and the two officers went in first. They had radioed someone saying something to whoever was there listening and I just grabbed on to Seb's arm. One of the officers came out looking terrified.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Were you two really asleep?" She asked looking very confused and scared. Her hand was near her teaser ready to grab it if me or Seb moved.
"Yes, we were? Can I know what is happening in there?" Sebastien asked confused and a little annoyed.
"There is a guy on your floor in there. He's still alive but badly wounded."
I covered my mouth and tears started to fill my eyes. "We are the only two that live here." I said. Sebastien pulled me into him and held me.
"Would you like to come in and see if you know him?"
"Sure." Sebastien said. I looked up at him "Baby, it's okay. Can you stay here with her."
"Of course." He let go of me and walked into the office. I waited out here with the cop and wanted to breakdown because Seb wasn't by my side anymore. Seb came storming out of the room and ran to his room. I just watched as he again left me alone.
"Umm what's happening?" I asked the officer.
"I don't know, you can go take a look if you want."

I so badly wanted to but at the same time my feet didn't want to move.
"Non, il est ici Samantha. Il s'est fait poignarder." I heard Seb say.
(no, he's here Samantha. He got fucking stabbed.)

"Je n'en ai pas la moindre idee."
(I don't have a single clue.)
"I'll let you know." He hung up the phone and rushed back in to the room.
"So he does know him?" She asked. I shrugged and walked in there. Only to see Ezra lying there on the floor.
