Joey

The sound of metal hitting the wood came from the direction of the door and I knew what he threw.

"Duck down!" I yelled and grabbed Rosaleen to cover her.

A loud explosion filled the air of the house and the office started on fire.

Rosaleen's dad started collecting papers to probably hide them or take them till her mom grabbed his hand, " Leave it! We have to go!!"

As I watched them leave, Rosaleen started coughing and I helped her up from covering her on the ground.

"Follow your parents" I coughed as the smoke got thicker in the room. She nodded and ran out to them.

I started running to the direction of where I heard my father's voice. The hallway caught of fire and the fact that a lot of the place was wood wasn't helping either.

My eyes started to burn and it got hard to see what was in front of me so I covered the light from hitting my eyes and looked down as I made my way to the stairs.

"James!" I yelled, " What are you doing?" I had no idea where he was or if he could hear me.

I got to the top of the stairs and I couldn't see anything.

"You traitor!" I could hear someone yell from a difference but the sounds of flames and stuff dropping blocked the direction of the voice.

"You lied to us. You lied to my mother. You lied to your company," my eyes started to stop burning since the smoke didn't get upstairs yet.

Out of no where I felt a hand on my neck and it was my father. I was pushed against the railing and one wrong move, I can fall straight into the flames downstairs.

I couldn't breathe from the pressure on my neck then he pushed me hard enough to go over the railing but I kept my hands on it.

"You're a disappointment. You always have been. I should've killed you instead of Sophia. It should've been you!" He had his hands over my hands ready to slip them off the railing I was hanging on.

I covered my eyes ready to face the fact that I'd finally be dead soon. He slipped one of my hands.

Rosaleen

"Jump!" My dad held his hands out," we'll catch you."

I was at our end of the escape route and couldn't see Joey behind us and started to worry by looking behind me to see if he was following.

"He's a goner rose..we have to go!" My parents said but the voice in my head was louder.

I'm gonna go get him..

I ran back then heard my dad scream my name from the distant as I got farther from the window in the only room not on fire.

When I made my way to the the staircase, Joey was hanging, about to fall straight into the flames. Up there was his father making sure he wasn't able to escape which confused me..

Wouldn't he be happy that joey led him here..? Joeys father was in on it right..? Why was he mad?

I was confused but I searched for something to stop him then found a piece of wood that has fallen from the roof placed by him.

One if Joeys hands were already off the railing and the other one was slipping off.

I grabbed the piece of wood then quickly swung at his head before he could realize what i was doing.

Right before he fell to the ground unconscious he had Joeys other hand slipped off the railing but I caught his hand just in time.

He looked up at me, " You should be safe by now! What are you doing here?"

I tried lifting him up, " I'm trying to save you Joseph"

For some reason I couldn't lift him up because of how weak I felt and I started to get frustrated.

"I can't do it!" I felt like having a mental breakdown for not being able to simply lift him up to safety.

"I don't deserve you to help me..after all the pain I've brought you i-" he stopped mid sentence and looked at me with what seemed to be watery eyes from either the smoke or real tears.

"No..stop. I won't drop you."

"I don't care that you were suppose to kill me or that you had me abused by your father. That sounds bad but it's true." His hand started to slip from mine and I changed my grip to hold him longer, " Why is your father trying to kill you now?"

"Rosey.." he put his head down slightly," I helped you escape. I'm the one who gave you the code. I'm the one who saved you from that group of guys that were about to rape you. I couldn't live with the fact that I just let you go to my father like that.

"W-what...why would you- You said whatever we had was a lie..you made me believe that you loved me..." the flames were only getting bigger and I realized we were losing time so I continued to try to lift him up but nothing worked.

"Rosaleen I do love you! I always fucking have. Do you really think letting you go was that easy?" I started to form tears in my eyes and noticed he looked in pain from holding on too long and ready to slip from my grip.

"Fuck joey! You can't be telling me this now when you're about to die in front of my eyes!"
