1:23 am

I couldn't sleep because I was having nightmares, so i decided to stay up and practice my ukulele.

When suddenly, I heard weird noises from outside, I freaked out since nobody usually comes here..

I looked out the window and saw a car pulling into our driveway, my eyes widened.

I went to the door immediately, It was locked. I banged on it as loud as i could hoping someone would wake up.

I went back to the window and saw 4 people coming out of the car, I couldn't see who they were since I was so high up and it was really dark.

I banged on the door some more, I heard harsh footsteps approaching my door.

"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" He yelled, as he unlocked my door and opened it.

"I'm.. I'm sorry I..woke you up but...there's people a- and they just..they're coming in here I- I think-

"Isabella, shut up and go back to sleep." He warned.

"Sir..i- I swear..i saw them they-

"Go. Back. To. Sleep. Or. Else. I'll. Put. You. To. Sleep. Myself." He said, teeth clenched as he slammed the door shut and locked it from outside.

I started to panic even more, probably having a panic attack, I roamed around my room for a few minutes trying to calm myself down..

I sat down on the floor, face to my knees.. As i sobbed quietly.

I heard a knock on my window, I gasped.

The gentle knocking went on for a while, before I decided to get up slowly and see what it was.

I looked out the glass window and immediately recognized his face, even though I haven't seen him in 6 years, since he was 10.

It was my brother, Lucas. He was strapped in a body strap with a rope, hanging from above.

I smiled widely, I went to open the window, but it was locked.

He noticed me struggling, he motioned for me to go to the side as he pulled out a small hammer from his fanny pack.

He starts gently breaking through the glass, making sure not to make too much noise..

The whole time I was just hoping no one would come in..i wish I didn't bang on the door..i wish I didn't ruin his plan..

As the hole became big enough "Come on!" He said, I pushed myself out through the hole with his help, the glass cut me a bit, but i didn't care, I just want to be free.

As I stood on the edge of the window, shaking, trying my best not to look down..

He quickly strapped me in another body strap, and we were both pulled up.

We reached the roof, as I saw 3 other men standing there, who were WITH Lucas, but they looked much older..

I laughed silently out of joy as we both got out of the body strap, that's it..im finally free!

I hugged Lucas tightly for a minute, "let's go" he whispered, as we all headed to the stairs to head down to the elevator.

Before we got a chance to head down, I saw THEM coming up out of the stairs, all 24 of them. With full gear. What the fuck did I do..

We all froze, just as the shooting started, we all hid behind some storage boxes, but the full bulletproof armour that they had was MUCH better than cardboard I think...

Me and Lucas both kneeled down as the guys tried to battle the gang, I started to feel hopeless..

I hugged him tightly..trying to protect his head from all the bullets.

After a few minutes, the shooting stopped. I looked over and saw the 3 guys on the floor, dead.

And that's when I knew..

Lucas let go and looked me in the eyes, as a tear rolled down his cheek "I'm sorry" he whispered "I...i tried"

My lips were quivering, the boxes we kicked out of the way as we were both fully exposed to the gang..

I wasn't about to give up..i hugged Lucas tightly, like VERY tightly,hoping they won't be able to pull me away from him..

But i was wrong..i was grabbed from behind by the hair as a strong arm wrapped around my neck.

I tried my best to let loose, but i couldn't..i was too weak..

I couldn't protect myself.. and i couldn't protect my little brother..

Lucas stood up, hands up in defeat.

As I heard the gunshot, as a bullet ran through his chest "no!" I yelled.

A few more bullets went through his chest and different parts of his body "noo!" I sobbed.

I didn't keep count of how many times he was shot, but it was a lot..suddenly, he was kicked off the roof..and fell down 30 floors..

I was speechless, it was all my fault..

April 9th, 2020

I waited a moment before answering "I.. I don't wanna..talk about it.." I said, looking down on the floor.

"Oh...that's okay.." he said, as he put his hand on my shoulder for support..

I knew I couldn't hold back my tears for any longer, "I'm.. gonna go take a shower, okay?" I said, as i got up, got my things and left.

Since this was a prison, there were only communal shower stalls, but it's whatever...i was surprised there was even running water honestly..

I got in, one of the stalls were occupied, I took off my clothes, got in one of them and just sobbed as the water ran down my body..

I showered pretty quickly, since the water was cold..when I was done,, I wrapped myself in my towel and opened the door.

I saw Theo, also in a towel, leaning on the wall to my left.

I admired him for a minute, the way he was standing there, looking up and down at me, his wet hair, the water still dripping down his body..

"Hey" he said.

I sighed "hey"

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Wh..what do you mean?" I said "nothing"

"I heard you in there" he got off the wall, stepping closer to me "crying"

I was silent, I looked down infront of me, as I faced his neck..i stepped even closer to him..

I waited a second, before looking up at him, into his eyes, I stood on my toes as I wrapped my arms around his neck..

It was like that for a while, I don't know how long, but it felt like years.

I got nervous for a second when our noses touched..i could tell he got nervous too..

As a sudden reaction, I pulled my face to the side, rubbing my cheek on his..

He pulled me closer, his hands on my back..

I leaned into his ear "Theodore.." I whispered.

"Yes..yes.." He said, as his breathing got heavier.

"We need to leave..they'll be here soon.."
