(Fours perspective)
I looked at the evening sky. The horizon, well, as much as I could see over the tree line, was a bright orange.
We walked through the parking lot.
"Look at how nice the sunset is!"
My mom exclaimed.


We continued walking and made it to the car.
I watched as other cars, signs, and houses passed by at a good amount of speed.
Mom and dad were arguing.
"No, I'm not forgetting!" Dad frowned, his eyes still in the road.
"Well, you don't seem to give a shit that I want to see the sunset."
"Jesus, Pricey! North in this town is easy, West is harder!" He laughed.
We pulled to the side of the road to where the best view of the sunset was, and got out of the car.
"A sunset kiss?" My mom asked my dad, who was already content with the photos he had taken and was heading back.
She frowned, and advanced on me.
"Nope." I used my hand/paw (?) to push her face away.
She sighed. "Worth a shot,"
We hopped back in the car.
15 minutes later...
We drove down the road we live on and hit, like, five bumps along the way.
"Ya think I missed any bumps?" My dad asked.
Mom chuckled.
I sighed.
We parked and headed into the house.

No Perspective

Four trekked silently through the house, as he made it to the stairs.
It was incredibly dark, one of the darkest nights there had been.
He walked to the kitchen.
Why was the door locked?
Then came a horrible screeching.
The sound of the fire alarm.
He reached for the handle.
Barely touching it was the most painful thing he had ever felt.
Suddenly, his world was engulfed in flames.


(Was gonna make this a two parter but both would be insultingly short so you get a lotta spaces instead lol)






(X's perspective)
(6 am)
I got to school.
Almost immediately,  I was greeted with Principal Two pulling me into their office.
My heart rate shot up. Was I in trouble??
What's going on?!
"Four's parents wanted me to tell you that he is in the hospital."
My heart skipped a beat.
"No..."
"Would you like to go to them?"
A tear slipped down my face. (?)
"What do you think?" I yelled, my voice cracking.

Every day, X visited the hospital.
First delivering flowers,
then hugs and kisses.
