"Y'all get the fuck up stairs" Nico yelled at me and Isabella, I grabbed her hand and we went upstairs and went into the closet "stay here" I told her "where are you going" " I caused this I need to be the one to end it" I said looking down at her into her eyes " please be safe" she said looking up at me " i will" I said leaning down and kissing her quickly because I didn't know if that would be the last time I'd see her. I quietly headed down the stairs were a dude had a gun to Nico's head while the other was talking to him so I pulled out my gun and shot him "who the fuck was that" the dude that was talking to Nico said " someone's upstairs" another dude said "well go get them" I heard him coming up so I peaked behind the corner and got him too and headed downstairs knowing the man infront of Nico was unarmed "what the fuck u gonna do now" I said getting up in his face holding the gun to his head "this" he said pulling out his phone and pressing sum button "you can get rid of me but they're on their way" I didn't say nun I just pulled the trigger "come on Javon we gotta get out of here before they get here the moment we headed for the back door that's when people started coming in from every direction "go Javon now, save ur self" I ran up the stairs and headed into the room where I left Isabella, I locked the door and went into the closet with her "you scared the shit out of me Javon" "shush they're down there a lot of them" "Javon I'm scared" "I know but there's nothing we can do, they have everything corner of the house surrounded inside and out" "I don't wanna die Javon" "I promise you want I'll die before I let anything happen to you" "don't say that Javon" we just sat there side by side in the closet in the corner.
NICO
" where's the kid" " ion know" I said obviously knowing where he was "fucking tell me now or I'll kill you instead" I didn't give a fuck what he was saying I was watching behind him because Michael was coming then boom, he shot him "thanks man" I told Michael as he threw me a gun "why the fuck didn't you have one on you" "ion know man I wasn't thinking" we snuck around the house trying to find the other guys and we lost a lot of our guys, everywhere you walked their was at least two bodies in one spot. I could have died right now and I wouldn't have gave a fuck I just wanted Michael, Isabella, and Javon to be safe because man they were still kids, they had a whole life ahead of them. We got into the living room and seen a group of dudes walking upstairs and that's where Javon was so without a thought I started shooting, sending bullet after bullet taking out at least 3 of the probably 7 guys. Some kept going while the others came down to handle me and Michael but they didn't get far til they were down next and that's when they fired at the same time we did and Michael got shot. "Go man, I'm done for go, go save Javon" I went upstairs and I couldn't find the guys nor Javon and Isabella, that's when I took a step back and felt a gun to my head. I knew I was done but all I wanted was for the kid to be safe so I didn't care. "Take me but don't hurt him" "where is he" "I don't know" "wrong answer" and that's when everything went black.
ISABELLA
We heard a gun shot come from outside the door but the foot steps got quieter. "They didn't come in here" "I think it's clear" Javon said "we need to get out of here while we have the chance" I told Javon but he just shook him head no at me "I'm what they want me, let me stop all this while I can" "no Javon come on" "getting to know you was the best thing that could have never happened to me and I don't regret anything that has happened or that is about to happen, just know I love you and will always love you in this life and the next" i just looked at him crying from his words and everything that was happening, I didn't want anything to happen to him I didn't care about anything in the moment all I knew is that they were going to enter this room in any given moment and it's either him or the both of us and I couldn't imagine living this life without him. I've already lost my mom and my dad didn't give a fuck about me so what else do I have to lose, in that moment the door knob of the room began to rattle "go isa now" "no I'm not going without you" " I'm not fucking playing with you Isabella, come on I don't want anything to happen to you this is all my fault let me save you" he said crying uncontrollably " but you have saved me Javon you help me find myself after all these years, you're all I need and without you I would have nothing. I love you Javon and if we go down we go down together" I said then he pulled me into a kiss and it was in that moment I knew that I was doing the right thing as we pulled away he hugged me tightly holding my head towards his chest as he hovered over me as we head the door get knocked down and that's when I could feel the breeze of air coming in as the door of the closet began to open and with me and Javon's bodies held close together that's when the world went quiet and the last thing I heard in the last few seconds of my life was "I love you" quietly come from Javon.
