(Jacklyn's POV)
I woke up to a terrifying sight outside my window. The Twins falling. They have always been in my life. The center of everything. Everyone's personal compass. I couldn't take my eyes off them. Tears fell from my eyes. I started to think about all the people and families. I broke into a sob. I closed my blinds and hid. I'll watch the news later. This is too much for me right now.
-------------------------------- A few hours later -----------------------------
My phone woke me up from my trance. It's ringing. I started crying again as I thought of earlier. I picked up my phone.
"Hello," I asked.
"Jacks?"
"Gee?"
"Oh my god, I'm so happy you answered. I've been calling for hours and it finally went through. Are you ok?"
"Not really. I mean I'm physically fine," I cried, "But are you? Did you see it?"
"I'm not too great. I was on the train and saw them across the river. I know you live really close and I wanted to make sure that you were ok."
"I saw them, too. I actually woke up to it. It was too much. I'm still pretty tired. The show really tired me out."
"You were so great."
"What?"
"I went to the show."
Oh my god... he saw it. He saw me cry about him and sing about him.... Oh my god. "Jacks?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you need someone to stay with you or anything? I mean I would love to catch up. I have this amazing idea that I would LOVE to share with you"
"Yeah, but I don't want to bother you and I'm sure they closed down transportation."
"You're probably right. Um, I can come when I can. I guess."
"Ok. Um, how did they fall?
"A plane crashed into them."
"Oh. Hold on, I'm getting another call. Can I call you back?"
"No need. I'll call tomorrow. Bye."
"Bye."
I picked up the next call.
"Hello?"
"Oh, Jackie. I have some news," I heard my mother cry. Oh no.
"Ma, what's wrong."
"Your father... he was in one of the towers for a meeting... We haven't heard from him yet. I'm just so glad I got through to you. Did you see them fall? I only saw the news but I know you live close to SVA."
I broke into another sob.
"Yeah I saw them," I sobbed, "Mom, I need to call someone, I love you."
"I love you, honey. Bye."
"Bye. Oh, and let's just have hope." I then hung up and called Gerard. I got lucky and the call went through the first try.
"Hello?"
"My father was in the towers," I sobbed.
"Jacks? Oh god. Are you ok?"
"He was my best friend. I'm so scared. What if he-"
"Hey, don't think like that. I'm sure he's fine. I know this will be tough, ok. But you need to stay on the phone with me."
"Why?"
"Because, I want you to feel safe. Anyways, wanna hear my idea?"
"I'd love to."
"So, I wanna start a band. I think this country will need a pick me up, you know... like a savior."
"Yeah, that sounds like an amazing idea." He started talking more about the band and other things. After a few hours I fell asleep. Damn, what a day. I mean... understatement... but that's all I can say.
A/N: Hello! This one is a little longer. Yes, part 1, 2, 3, 4, and probably 5 are published on the same day because it's quarantine. Love you <3 <3 <3
