When you do what I do you have to be careful with who you trust and who trusts you. If you really want to have a career you have to watch who you hang out with. One wrong word and your whole career goes to water.

8am

I woke up in a hotel just like almost every morning. I look to my left searching for Jack on the other bed but he wasnt there. Maybe he's in the bathroom or he went downstairs to eat. I took my phone and opened Instagram. Nothing new, nothing important. Thats a good thing, I guess. I decided to check some news articles to see if there is anything about last night, maybe something happened.

When I look at the time, I realize I have spent more than an hour on these stupid articles about same shit. Thank God there's nothing about last night. I get up and get dressed. I walk downstairs and find Jonah and Jack by a table eating.

Morning guys. I say trying not to sound too weird.

Morning. Jonah says and takes another bite of his food.

Are you okay, you seemed worried last night. Jack asked looking at me. Of course I was fucking worried, I still am, we could have died last night. But I didnt say anything. I dont want them to worry or maybe think that I'm crazy.

Nah bro I'm good. I answered trying to smile normally. I wish I could talk to that girl again, ask her what's going on.

After I took my food I went back to the table and found Daniel there. He looked sad, really sad. I don't know what's up with him lately, he's been acting really strange. He doesnt talk about it but I kinda understand. Maybe he just needs time.

I sit down and look at him trying to get his look. Jack and Jonah looked down. They were quiet.

Let's wait for Corbyn and then I'll tell you all something important. Daniel said and put his head in his hands. I wonder what's going on. Maybe it's his family or some of his friends. There could be a lot of things happening. I hope he's okay.

We spent the breakfast talking about our tomorrows show here in Brazil. Daniel cheered up and was back to his talking as much as he can. It was nice seeing him smile again.

We waited for Corbyn but he never showed up. Maybe he was really tired or just overslept but Daniel refused to tell us anything until Corbyn was there too.

After breakfast we headed to Corbyn's room to see what's going on. Daniel unlocked the doors and we saw Corbyn laying on the floor. We ran to him and Jonah picked him up.

Oh my God he's been shot! Daniel yelled and took his phone to call 911. I felt dizzy and Iike I'm going to throw up but I held it together. I tried not to cry but couldnt hold my tears back when I saw Jack cry. Soon the ambulance arrived and we all got to the hospital.

They got him in the operation hall and told us to wait. We all just sat quiet as Jonah went to call Christina, Corbyn's girlfriend and his family. I closed my eyes trying to not think about the worst that could happen but it was hard. First thing that came to my mind was last night and how that girl said that people are about to die and I can't lose Corbyn. We couldnt live without him.

Corbyn Besson, 7th May 2020, 9am

I woke up pretty late and got out of the bed right away. I brushed my teeth and got dressed to go eat breakfast. I took my phone when a girl broke into my room. She slammed the door open and yelled for me to crouch. I didnt listen and felt pain in my stomach. At first it felt like a heat wave and then it started hurting like a bitch. I held my stomach as she ran to me.

I need you to listen to me, your friends are about to get here. Theyll be here any second just hold on. Please forgive me but I have to go. If I stay you will all die. You're going to be fine, I promise. But listen, I will put a paper with a number on it in your pocket. I need you to give it to Zach. Good luck.

I wanted to yell for her to come back but I didnt have the strength. I took my phone wanting to call Daniel but I dropped it and in few seconds everything went black.
