"Uhhhh my head, (blinks twice) HUH?? where am I?," so you're finally awake. "(Looks over)" I had to remove the problem at the source before u tried to hurt him, "what are u talking about and who are u? And where am???". None of that matters I ask the questions here not you, "what stopping me from yelling for help, u kidnapped me!! And I don't know what I did to you but kidnapping is extreme and you're just crazy". Shut up (puts gun to her head) this..this right here is what's keeping you quiet, didn't you hear me the first time? I ask the question, I do the talking, you say quiet and reply when I want my answer, do u understand me? "(Nods head) Mhm". First question, who are u to Augustine? "Who?". Augustine, the boy you're always around at school, him.. "first thats not his name and second, answer me this who are you to him". I'm the one who's been there all his life, I'm the one who's been protecting him all this time, and what do u mean that's not his name? answer before I become inpatient and kill u here and now. "So...ur Kal". How do you know me?? "Augustine as you call him talks about you all the time, I'm glad to.meet you finally but not like this". He..tells you about me?? You're not trying to steal him from me?? "EW WHAT?? NO IM NOT THATS DISGUSTING". Enough of this back and forth tell me who you are or I'll kill you, you have five seconds. "Ok ok ok, I'll tell you...my name is Elizabeth Rodriguez, and Augustine is my little brother". (Eyes widen) w-what?? Huh?? No no no NO, HIS FAMILY IS DEAD THERES NO WAY DONT FUCKING LIE TO ME. "our parents are dead but I survived and was in a coma for years, it took a long time but I finally found my brother and I wanted to spend all the time I had lost with him to make it up to him". (Starts shaking) n-no i-i, it can't be, no no no no no no no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! "KAL CALM DOWN". SHUT UP I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW, "KAL DON'T YOU SAID YOU WANT TO PROTECT HIM RIGHT??? IF YOU KILL ME YOU'LL ONLY HURT HIM". I-i, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, (points the gun at her). DIE!...... silence fills the basement, why? Bc not a sound was made, no gun shot, no yells or screams, not even a word was said, the only thing prominent was the shocked faces of Kal and Elizabeth as from behind Sun was hugging me. (Sun) Please stop this Kal, I don't want you to hurt her so please calm down and put the gun away. (Kal) I-i...ok. (Sun) thank you (let's me go) (Kal) but just tell me one thing...why did you lie to me? (Sun) What are you talking about? (Kal) You said your whole family died in the fire that night, you said no one survived and yet you're sister is sitting right there, clearly alive, so why did you lie? (Sun) I never lied, and don't say I lied to you, I had no idea my sister survived or was alive, I had thought the same as you that night. (Kal) So why didn't you tell me she was your sister instead of not telling me, leading up to this. (Sun) I just wanted some time with my sister Kal! She was alive! And I never knew about it. (Kal) That's an excuse, you still could have told me, I mean I wouldn't have done this if I knew she was your sister. (Sun) You know what, you're right I should have but why would you even do this? (Kal) I was trying to protect you, I thought she was gonna harm you or take you away from me. (Sun) Kal I told you time and time again, I'm not some little kid anymore, I can protect myself and I don't need your protection all the time. (Kal) Yes you do, your too soft on people and they can use that to take advantage of you! I'm keeping you safe sun!! What part of that do you not understand?! (Sun) Don't rise your voice at me!! And again I don't need your protection all the time and stop saying that she would 'take me away from you', Shes the only family I got left, what would you even know about family!??! (Kal) A LOT!! (Sun) HOW WHEN YOU DONT EVEN HAVE ONE, I REMEMBER WHAT THEY DID, YOU HAVE NO FAMILY TO SPEAK OF..............Kal....I
