Jaylen Evans

Worst night of my life

That night
No one's pov
It was 2:36am. The patrol officers had gone to get food, providing Brandon Peters easy access to the house. He quietly made his way in gun in hand searching for the people he believed took his brothers life away. He made his way up the stairs making the last few creek. Thankfully for him he hadn't been heard. He advanced towards the first room which happened to be a spare room. Then the next which was the bathroom. He reached to the room opposite and he opened the door. He took in the people laying fast asleep without a care in the world. Sleeping like they'd wake up to a new day. He brought the gun up and shot Camila in the head making Donte shoot up in fear. Begging for his life Brandon showed no remorse and shot him dead. All of a sudden he heard sirens and took off.

2:35am
I was woken by my phone ringing.
Hank: Sargent Hank Voight
There was just heavy panicked breathing down the phone
Hank: hello?
Jaylen: need help
Hank: Jaylen?
Jaylen: There's someone here. I think it's Brandon
Hank: where are you?
Jaylen: hiding
I heard three gunshots go off then sirens turn on
Hank: Jaylen! Jaylen! Talk to me
I could hear what sounded like a closet door open and footsteps. I heard a thud and screaming.
Jaylen: dad! mama! wake up!
Hank: Jaylen! What's going on?

Jaylen pov
I ran to mom and dads room and mama had a hole in her head and dad had a hole in his chest and his stomach. I quickly took my T-shirt off and used it to put pressure on dads wounds to help him. My vision was blurry through the tears and I couldn't breathe properly. My mind was going fast and I didn't know what to do. Everything was slowly getting fuzzy. I was just zoned out until I felt two arms pull me away.
Officer Vasquez: I'm sorry
Officer Daniels: an ambulance will be here soon
Jaylen: you were supposed to be watching the house. You were supposed to keep us safe. They're dead because of you. This is all your fault.
I started hitting them
Hank: hey kid come on.
I began hitting Hank.
Hank: let it out. I'm right here
Hank pulled me into a hug and I was trying to fight it until I collapsed and started sobbing uncontrollably
Jaylen: you were supposed to keep us safe. You said we'd be safe. They're dead because of you
Hank: I know kiddo. I know. I'm so sorry.

I pulled out of the hug and ran off. I ran until I could see the firehouse. The trucks weren't there so they were obviously on a call.
Connie: Jaylen!
I ignored her and went to Kelly's quarters. I sat on his bunk zoned out staring at the blood on my hands.

3:30am
Kelly pov
We had just got back and I was sat at the squad table.
Connie: Kelly Jaylens here and he's not in a good way
Kelly: where is he?
Connie: in your quarters
Kelly: thanks Connie
I went to my quarters and Jaylen was just staring at his hands
Kelly: Jay?
No answer
Kelly: Jaylen
He looked up at me
Kelly: what's happened?
He shook his head at me
Kelly: okay. Why don't you take a shower okay and I'll be here when you want to talk
He just nodded his head. I gave him a towel, some clothes and toiletries. He walked towards the showers and i got my phone out to ring Hank
Kelly: Voight
Hank: what's up?
Kelly: Jaylen's here and he's not okay. Do you know what's happened?
Hank: Donte and Camilla were shot dead in their sleep and Jaylen was in the house. He went into the room and saw Camilla with a hole in her head and Donte with a chest wound. He tried to save Donte but he had lost too much blood. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
Kelly: do you know who did it?
Hank: yeah. We're doing everything we can to find him
Kelly: why'd he do it?
Hank: they arrested his brother and got him sent to prison where he later died so it was a revenge thing.
Kelly: what's gonna happen to Jaylen?
Hank: I don't know. I have to wait for DCFS. He'll probably go into the system. He has no family.
Kelly: what about anyone from the district or firehouse?
Hank: it's a bit complicated seeing as or jobs can't guarantee our safety.
Kelly: fuck
Matt ran into my quarters
Matt: Kelly it's Jaylen! He's having a seizure
Kelly: Hank I got to go
Hank: I'll get Jay to bring round his meds
I followed Matt to the shower room where Jaylen laid convulsing violently. After a few minutes it slowed to just twitching before stopping. Matt moved him onto his side and we were just waiting for him to come around. After half an hour he came round and was trying to sit up.
Jaylen: t-toilet
I help him up and to the toilet. I waited outside and he came out.
Jaylen: sleep
Kelly: come on then
I took him to my bunk and he fell asleep straight away. I went back to where everyone was and Jay walked in.
Jay: how is he?
Kelly: tired
Jay: that's his first one in a while but we had a feeling it would happen because he hasn't been taking his meds.
Kelly: poor kid
Jay: you hear what happened?
Kelly: yeah. Hank said that Jaylen might get put into the system.
Jay: damn can't he stay with one of us
Kelly: Hank said it's complicated because we have unsafe jobs and he has already lost his parents.
Jay: kid can't catch a break. You want me to take him. I've finished now.
Kelly: if you don't mind. I'll stop by after shift.

Jay pov
I went to Jaylen and picked him up and carried him out to my car. I laid him across the back seats and went to my apartment. I carried him in and took him to the spare room. I went out to the living room where Will was watching tv
Will: what's Jaylen doing here?
Jay: Donte and Camilla were killed. Jaylen went to the firehouse and had a seizure. Kelly was still on shift so I said I'd bring him here.
Will: shit poor kid. Imma head up got an early start
Jay: see ya
Will went to bed and I got a beer and watched the game. I ended up falling asleep after.
