Escapism (Sean x reader)

2

I take one final look back at Sean and Lyla before going inside.

And instantly Ian runs up to me, well as fast as a two year old can run. gurgling what might be English as he lightly slaps my legs.

I pick him up and kiss his forehead, and then lift him in the air, causing him to giggle.

"Welcome home!" My aunt Sadie yells from her room.

Setting down Ian I knock on Sadie's door and come inside. Immediately met with the smell of paint and art work all over the walls, I spot her in front of the easel, sun from the windows casting their glow on the room.

"What's up?" Putting her paint brush down onto the easel.

"There's a party tonight, I just wanted to know if uh, I could borrow some cash?"

"Sure, but only because I trust you, if you come home high or drunk you won't get anymore." She sternly looks at me, paint on her face on on the ends of her blonde-ish hair.

"Come on, you know me Sadie, I just want some food and soda."

"I know you but I also know how teenagers act, so be careful." She sighs as she grabs her wallet. "Here's a twenty, will that be good?"

I nod ready to be done with this conversation. But I can understand why she cares so much, it's just tiring to have someone you live with not trust you.

I step out of the room and look at my hand,Sean has got the food covered so all I need to get is some extra blankets, I grab a bottle of water, assuming that there will be no water there.

I stuff it all into my school bag and decide to see Ian before I go, so I turn around and spot Ian on the couch, half playing with blocks and half watching a children's show.

"See ya later buddy" I ruffle his hair and he giggles while trying to touch my hand.

I touch the handle of the front door, only to fly out as I see The Diaz family at gunpoint.

"Sean! What's going on?!" I yell desperately. Was Daniel covered in blood?

"HANDS UP! Miss I need you to step back!" The police man  yells at us, and then Sean's dad  runs out of the door.

This is all happening so fast, what is happening? I'm so confused.

Esteban slowly makes his way towards us, causing the police man to become even more overwhelmed and he takes a shot at him.

It was like a bomb exploded, rubble everywhere, everyone getting pushed to the ground, the police car rolling back, street lights exploding, windows cracking and shattering. I immediately was flung on my back, knocking the wind out of me and hitting my head.

I saw Sean get up and check if his dad was alive, the sounds of him crying are heartbreaking, I get up and check  if Daniel is okay. I place my hand on his wrist.

Bum bum bum bum

Thank god Sean hasn't lost his whole family

I gently slap Daniel's face only to find he's put cold. I pick him up and turn to Sean.

Sean looks at me, tears on his face and his fathers blood stain his hands.

"Go home, forget this happened!"
"No! And leave you two like this? I would feel horrible!"

By looking in his eyes I can tell he's pissed at my decision but he runs into his house and grabs his bag.

"Let's go."
