(countinues from ch9)

my mom countinued to run around the house trying to get a signal. i stayed outside, it was too quiet in the house and besides i enjoyed the breeze. i shifted in the lawnchair, trying to get comfy before i heard my phone buzz.

theo: ok but what if there was big men outside my window

theo: i keep hearing shit lol

me: are ur parents home?

theo: no

theo: just me and my little sister

me: wyd make sure shes okay

theo: ik shes in my room w/ me

theo: which is why im concerned lol

me: text ur parents

theo: i did

theo: they're not responding

my eyebrows ruffled, unsure what to tell him to do. i felt this pit in my stomach, like something was actually wrong. 

me: do you have any neighbors you can stay with?

theo: ahh god idea

theo: good*

theo: brb 

i turned off my phone and crossed my arms. sitting in scilence. i looked up to the sky, a full moon. a seemingly beautiful night, but something felt- off. it was probably just me worrying about theo. i texted B and amari asking if their power was out, they both said no. i sighed, closing my eyes. just then, i got a responce from theo

theo: ok my neighbor is letting me and my sis stay

me: thank god

theo: yeah lol

me: i was worried ngl

theo: awww so sweet

me: whatever

me: i dont want someone to die over text that would be traumatic

theo: lame lol

theo: wanna call?

me: sure

i beamed as i picked up the phone. "hey im on my neighbors porch right now and theres alot of people here so thats why theres noise in the background" he admitted. "oh alright thats fine haha," i laughed "i texted b and amari, they said their power was working fine.." i mentioned, looking up to the sky. "weird. maybe our streets were the chosen ones~" i heard his voice from the phone. i chuckled.. "maybe you're right.." i trailed off. "its probably something with the power grid-" he cut himself off. i heard loud crashing, "holy shit!!" my eyebrows furrowed. "what happened?" i asked. i heard him yell for someone, probably his sister. "t-theo?! are you okay?"
