KENNEDY'S Point of view

          
          It was raining outside.

I could tell by the way the sky was darkened to a calming grey and the way the clouds rolled in with booming thunder along with the pitter patter of rain racing down my window.

It was honestly one of my favorite times when it rained.

        Keyword: was

It was raining when my father died, even though I was ten years old I still remember the fear I felt when the police came at our doorstep, I was hiding behind my mother's leg shyly. I could still hear the officer's voice ringing in my head when he announced my father was found dead. My mother cried and let out heart wrenching sobs that day. As a child you don't really know how to comprehend and cope with such a traumatic situation. After that came his funeral, just knowing that my father was in that closed casket literally inches away from me, lying there motionless while light rain and the way the horrifying rumble of thunder rang throughout my head. It's crazy the things that stick into a child's mind.

     Which led me here, in my closet wrapped in a blanket balling my eyes out alone because my mom was working at the hospital until late tonight.

I was slowly losing my mind.

I couldn't take it.

I took out my phone and called the first person I thought of, I didn't know who I called exactly because before I could check another rumble of thunder shook my window.

I heard a faint voice only to realize it was coming from my phone, lifting it to my ear as I released a shaky breath

"R-roman...I need you..i-i-im scared" I sobbed uncontrollably.

I could faintly hear heavy footsteps and a car turning on through the phone but I wasn't paying much mind to it.

ROMAN'S Point of view

My father arranged another meeting with 'Uncle' Titus which I have to attend to, turns out Knox took out another gang near the East.

Some of the gang members were a part of Titus's friends' mafia so they sought refuge in his members' mansion.

While they discussed the problem at hand of how the Eastern Mafia has taken another gang so quickly, I turned my attention to the calming rain happening outside with a low deep roar of thunder and flash of lightning.

I zoned out all the business talk and focused on the heavy yet gentle rain until my phone began to ring, looking down I see Kennedy's name lit up and answering it I put it up to my ear

"Hello?"

no answer

"Kennedy is something wrong?"

there was a pause as I heard him release a shaky breath causing me to be at the edge of my seat before I heard his lovely voice

"R-roman...I need you..i-i-im scared."

  my senses heightened and my chest hurt, shushing my father and Titus making them stare like i've lost my mind.

I didn't care about the looks they gave me because as soon as I heard his heart wrenching sobs I shot up from my chair and bolted to my car speeding to his house.
       Just when I saw his house in my view, I parked the car and raced into his house "Kennedy!" I yell frantically looking around before heading up the stairs into his room
