Skye's perspective (tap the picture above)
I begin to worry, seeing it collapse and knowing he's inside. My brother, Jack comes in, seeing me crying. "What's wrong?" He asked. Only on special occasions does he ever have any concern about me. I point to the window, seeing the lights of fire trucks, police cars, and an ambulance. "The neighbors, the boy. He might die!" I say, crying even harder, about clogged my nose. "Hey, it's okay" he says, rubbing my face with his rough hands. "C-can we go visit them at the hospital?" I asked him. "I'm sorry Skye, but I'm afraid they all might be dead" he tells me, which makes me even more sad. Just then, there's a knock on the door. It was a police officer. Johnny answers it. "Yes officer, what can I do for you?" He asks casually. "Did you happen to witness anything that happened at your neighbors?" He asks. "How are they?" I ask, pushing past Johnny. "Well, the boy is in pretty rough condition, and the parents are no where to be seen" he answers, I would've cried even more, if I had anymore tears in my eyes. "We have to see him, Jack" I pleaded him. "No officer, I can't say I witnessed anything of the fire being started" Johnny answered the question the officer had asked before I had interrupted. "Okay, thank you. Y'all have a good night now" he says, walking off the steps of our house. "Man, I would have totally beat you if the officer wasn't there" Jack warned me. "What's with you and the neighbor boy anyway?" He asked. I shrugged shyly. "Bull $hît Skye, tell me!" Jack yelled, which made me feel a bit nervous. "Er...you know when you kissed me against the lockers yesterday?" I asked quietly. "Yeah, so?" He shrugs. "He watched it happen and threatened to blackmail me" I tell him. "How'd you get him out of blackmailing you?" He asked. "I told him I'll do whatever he wants" I tell Jack, looking at the ground. "Sky, that was very stupid of you. He could of used you for $€x or something" Jack says. "No, he wouldn't. He was disgusted just by you kissing me" I tell him. "Yeah, whatever" Jack rolls his eyes. "Hey, If you want to see the neighbor boy, we should probably go, the ambulance is leaving with him on a stretcher" I hear Jonathan say as he peaks out the door. "Alright, get your shoes Skye, then we'll go" Jack says with a sigh, and I nod. For once, he actually listened to me. He would of never let me even come close to a boy let alone a boy in the hospital. I get my shoes on and get in Johnny 's truck. We follow the ambulance all the way to the hospital. I watch as the medics get the boy on the stretcher out, but all I could see was his silhouette. We are now in the waiting room, waiting to see how he's doing. The doctor called us in and said he was still sleeping, so we had to be quiet. I watch as Jack slowly opened the door to his room. There, we saw him, all bloody and bruised, and bandaged. I stand beside his bed, wondering when he'll awaken.
