We made it

Plans and pains

I didn't pay much attention to the movie, which is a shame because it was one of my favourites. Breaking dawn part 2, the last twilight film. I read the books with mother when I was younger, which of course made the franchise special. But like I said, I wasn't really watching. I was thinking about everything that I wanted to do as I grew up. I wanted to leave this dull prison and move to the city. Maybe I'll become successful poet and move into a large penthouse. Or maybe I'll just live in a cute little cottage in the countryside, near the grassy fields and an endless sky, not obscured by land marks and tall buildings. I wanted to get married, and wear a beautiful white dress that made me feel gorgeous. I wanted children, maybe three or four. Children who each had talents of their own, talents like my brothers and I.
And I want to grow old with my husband, and talk about the life we shared. And I wanted to share it all...

"What on mind?" Sunny asked. Her little head looking up at me from Klaus' lap.

"I was just thinking about what I want to do when I leave here" I said, looking at her with a smile.

"Yeah, it's not long now, is it? We've all got a couple of months left right?" Violet asked, looking up at Quigley.

"Yep, we leave in July"

"Wow, that's really not long..." Duncan said

"Well, it's April now, we have about three and a half months left, that's good right?" Klaus asked

"Not long" Sunny said

"Maybe we should all live together?" I asked, looking around the room " we could all easily afford a house with 6 bedrooms, why doesn't each family put in half of the price? We could all live there, the five of us can work, and Sunny can continue in a better preschool, one where she doesn't have to stay every weekday! We can each take it in turns to do the school run until she gets old enough to go on her own."

"Isadora, that's a great idea!" Klaus says, wrapping his arms around me

"I agree" Violet states "we should perhaps start looking for a house now, it could take us a while to find a house that big"

And with that, everyone got in their feet and began house hunting through newspapers. It took us about two hours before Duncan found the house we liked. It had 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a massive kitchen, a huge dining room, a living room, and three spare rooms down stairs. It was amazing! Close to a school for Sunny and she had a huge kitchen to cook in.

"Maybe we could turn one of the spare rooms into a 7th bedroom, invade we have visitors, the second could be an enormous library and the third could be an inventing lab?" I suggested

"Isadora, you are full of great ideas today" Quigley said, smiling at me

"So that's that, when do we put the deposit down?" Duncan asked

"Why not now? It could be sold soon" Klaus suggested

"Perfect, I'll contact Mr Poe" Violet said, running to the phone and failing the number of the bank "Hello, is this Mr Poe speaking? Yes please...Hello Mr Poe, this is Violet Baudelaire, I'm calling to request a withdrawal from the Baudelaire fortune. Just a small one...yes that would be perfect. And I would also like to request another withdrawal from the Quagmire fortune, of the same amount...yes...yes...yes...no...yes...Mr Poe, I have the full consent of the Quagmire Triplets...well thank you very much...be here as soon as you can...thank you...goodbye"

Violet turned around and smiled at us, a clear indication that our plans were coming together. My heart swept and I turned around to hug Klaus, but he wasn't there.

"Hey guys...where's Klaus?"

Everyone looked around, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Okay, you guys check the corridors, I'll stay here, in case he comes back." Duncan suggested

And with that, everyone left the common room. We split up, each taking a different corridor. I wandered through each silent hall, thinking about how our plan was about to come together. I was so happy. I would get to spend every day with the person I love most, and that makes me really happy. I turned the corner and cane face to face with what I fear most. Not Carmelita Spats, not this time. Something much, much worse...

"KLAUS!" I screamed, breaking into a run and falling to me knees beside him, panic setting across my face as I looked at him there on the floor.
His eyes were closed and his face was bloodied up. He wasn't moving and glasses were broken in the floor. I was completely alone, I couldn't shout for Violet or Quigley, I didn't know where they were. "It's okay Klaus, someone's coming"

I screamed for help, I screamed louder than I've ever screamed before. And pretty soon, people were arriving.

"What happened? What should we do?" The questions echoed through the hall.

"Excuse me, Children, let me come through" the familiar voice was heard coming from behind the ever growing crowd. "Isadora, what happened!?" Principal Marley got down on her knees and checked his vitals as best she could, before sending someone, a complete stranger, to get the nurse.

I sat there. Staring at my boyfriend, hoping that he would wake up. He didn't. "Principal Marley...I just...I...I don't know...I found him..." and with that, the tears came. Faster and faster, leaving a trail of hurt and pain on my cheeks.
We sat there for a while, waiting, not patiently, my cries got louder with time. Eventually, the nurse came, carrying a dull and dirty stretcher in her arms and a small first aid kit in her free hand. All I could do was watch as the person I loved more than anyone, was carried away.

"You need...Violet...Sunny...my brothers...they'll need to...they'll want to...see him" I was sobbing at this point and there was no one there to comfort me, not this time. But I had to stop. Violet would need support, and so would Sunny. This isn't about me.
