hostage

I really jumped in the rabbit hole w this one --I'm sorry if it's not an appropriate backstory to you but it works

You were at home watching the news. There has been a terrorist attack that day and it's been blowing up like crazy, especially since it was in your city.

You remembered the day very clearly. You were busy all day and just started making dinner.

You watched the news and realized the attack was in a place very familiar. It didn't take long to realize that it was your good friend's work place. Your friend Lucky.

You tried calling his cell but he didn't answer, you were trying to make sure if he had got off work or not.

"The terrorists are holding hostages and are unpredictable at this point." the news lady reported.

You began to panic, you didn't know what to do. All you could do is keep up with the news and watch what'll happen next.

Suddenly, you got a phone call from a random number.

"Hello?"

"Y/n, it's me!" Lucky's voice rang from the other line.

You sighed of relief, "Lucky, where are you? Are you alright? I tried to call you-"

"Y/n listen to me," he stuttered, "I'm inside the building and I don't know how long I'll have with this phone call. I need you to listen to me."

You tried not to freak out, "Okay."

"I have to tell you something really important and if I don't tell you, I will never get the chance. I lo-"

The phone line went dead. You panicked until you looked at the television and saw that the building exploded.

"No!" you screeched.

Your heart dropped to your stomach. It was hard for you to breathe, your sobbing made things even harder.

"Lucky!" you cried out. "Tell me!"

You screamed into the couch pillow, but you still were a little shocked.

"What were you gonna say?" you rocked back and forth on the ground.

After what seemed like forever, after the sun fell down, and after you couldn't cry anymore you sat back on the couch.

You grabbed the picture of you and Lucky that sat beside the couch. You looked at him and all your memories of him flooded back to you.

Then, you started thinking. You started thinking about what he was gonna say.

You tried the best of your ability to put pieces together, when suddenly it came to you.

You smiled down at his picture.

"I love you too."
