We reached our mansion and I froze. Kygo stepped on the breaks and I suddenly held Cheryl so she didnt fall forward. My pupils dilated with fear.

All I could see was fire.
They set my mansion on fire.

Without a second thought, Kygo asked Cheryl to sit inside and buckled her. He gave her our icecream and said
"Sweetheart, play with booboo, we will come back. If you be a good girlie, I'll get you more icecream. I promise baby." He said and left a kiss on her forehead, his eyes filling with tears.

Lina!
Lina!!
Maddelyn!!

He shook me and my senses returned. "Get in!" He yelled as Ma's and Lorenzo's face, their smiles made their way to my mind. I had no idea how fast my heart thumped inside my chest. My body refused to move as my eyes became blurry with tears, my legs shivering. Kygo held my hand and pulled me towards the house and for the first time, my heels slipped. When pain striked, my brain started working and that's when I could figure out what was going on ahead of me.

Oh my God! Ma! Lorenzo! Hugo! Ruben!! No! They can't die. They just cant die like that!

I woke up and ran, holding Kygo's hand, crossing all the deadly fire in front of me. Kygo's left hand caught fire but he simply didn't feel or bother. I put off that fire, yelling.

All we could see was burnt, bloody bodies around us and my heart winced. All my anger, all my pride, my arrogance, my ego, everything died right there. Greg lay lifeless on the ground near the front porch, his cigar in his hand.

Hugo and Ruben were near the stairs and Kygo broke down. He fell on his knees, weak, exhausted and cried like a baby as I held his hand, kneeling next to him. I couldn't imagine Ma dead.

Not in an eon.
No.

Kygo left them on the ground. I didnt bother. I picked them up and kissed their foreheads. Hugo's blood stuck to my lips but I didn't care. I sobbed.
"You guys were there for me since I was so little I couldn't even remember. Have I ever told you guys how much you both mean to me?" I yelled, looking at the lifeless Hugo infront of me.

I was so arrogant to him. I was always this attitude filled person but even the king of hell knows how much these people meant to me, my life.

"Hey sweet guy," I touched Ruben's chest.
"You're my favourite too." I said, my tears falling on his forehead.
"I'll miss you" I knew I was blabbering but I didnt care.

Casting a glance at Greg, my legs wobbled as I was climbing the stairs. I saw endless men, not a single one alive. I entered Ma's room and my heart constricted. Kygo rushed in and picked Lorenzo in his arms.

"Uncle!" He yelled, drawing all my attention for just a second. "Wake up!" He shook him.
"Dont leave me alone. Dad left me then and you're leaving me now." He cried, his voice raspy.

To my satisfaction, Lorenzo lay in Ma's arms when they died. He was shot in the head. He held a frame with mine and Cheryl's picture in it and hugged Ma before both died. I picked Ma up in my arms and sat there rocking her back and forth. I kissed her forehead, my tears all dried up by now as I said-

"I love you, Ma  and I know you'll be watching me from up above, smiling. I know, I know."

I was cold. Very very cold.

"Why, Ma? Why? You told me you'd either die that day or you'll live with me forever. Is this forever?" I whispered, rocking her faster. I was sitting on ice.
I planted a kiss on her forehead and placed her back down. I walked on my knees to Lorenzo and placed his head on my chest.

Ma would've definitely been overjoyed with this, with Lorenzo on cloud nine.
"Why?"I whispered.

"You were getting better, you were treating Ma properly. You're so in love with her and now this. Why? Wake up, Lorenzo, wake up and get better. Treat me, treat us better. Wake up- wake up, p-papa!" I said, crying once again. I couldn't tell him he was doing well.

I couldn't tell me he made it to us again. I couldn't tell him I almost forgave him. Most importantly, i couldn't call him papa again.

"Papa!" I shook him, the blood on the back of his head sticking to my palm.
"Wake up" I told him again, rocking my body with him in my arms, until the paramedics came and pushed me aside, taking them away.

Away from me.
They're gone.
They're gone.

Ma and Lorenzo had a life. They just restarted their love and now they're dead.

Dead in each other's arms
Leaving us alone.

I sat there, still frozen as Kygo wrapped himself around me, but I didnt feel a thing. All I could remember was the last conversation I had with them.

Kygo brought me out of the house and towards the car after speaking to the paramedics which was again gibberish and nothing registered in my mind.

To my horror, Cheryl was not in the car and instead, only blood was there.

Blood.
Just blood and few strands of blonde hair

She was gone. My little baby was gone. Gone before she even started living. I fell on my knees, my hands on my chest and wept my heart out. Kygo acted like a psych, running back and forth yelling her name.

"She wont come back!" I whispered.

Kygo hugged me and cried like never before. He helped me into the car and drove off. Far, far where I couldn't hear Ma's words, Cheryl's laughter or Lorenzo's  apology.

He took me to a mansion, not as big as the one I lived in previously, but had the name carved Moretti's. Kygo held me and took me inside. I couldn't see a thing. It was like my mind became numb or something. Zaira stood in front of me and hugged me as I got in and I broke down.

I cried and cried until all the energy in me drained. I sat on the couch, hugging my knees and cried until my eyes were covered with darkness.
