The house was filled with flames.

Police officers, fire trucks and firemen were everywhere and the neighbors were outside.

I was shocked by the sight and didn't know what to do.

I heard the car open and saw that Layla was heading towards the house, but the police quickly stopped her.

" noo let me goo! my mom is in their ! " I heard Layla cry and scream

" you must be the child of Mrs.Chistopher, I have to take you and your brother in custody till future notice " a police female officer says holding Layla and looking at the car me and josh were in

The police officer started walking towards the car with Layla in her arms.

"Joshua Christopher ? " the police officer asks then looking in the back seat to where I was

" y/n my younger cousin " josh says getting out the car then eyeing me to do the same

" I'm gonna have to put you guys in my car for a minute to take you guys down to the station also um.. I'm very sorry for your loss " she says then putting us in the back of her police car

She closed the door and it was only the three of us in the back of a police car.

" shes not really gone is she " I say with tears in my eyes then looking at Layla and josh

After that we just hugged each other. all we saw was black smoke from the car view and fire trucks everywhere.

After a while the police officer came back. She got into the car and looked into the rearview mirror then started driving after.

" was their anyone else in house ? An elderly women " josh asks the officer

She looked in the rear view mirror again.

" I don't know. When we get to the station they'll tell you everything, I promise " she says

After that she continued driving. We arrived at the station after a 6 minute drive. We got out and she escorted us inside.

We ended up in a gray room with only a desk and four chairs.

We sat down then a few minutes later another officer came in and sat down across from us.

" Hello you guys must be Mrs.Christophers children, hi I'm Officer Reed " the officer says

" Where's our mom and grandma ? " Layla asks without hesitation

" Um..I'm very sorry to say this but.. nobody could've survived that type of fire " Officer Reed

At that point it looked like Josh, Layla, and I just lost half of our world.

" uh your house isn't in any good condition to stay in so do you guys have any close family that can be contacted " Officer Reed says

" also about you, are you their cousin because I didn't see you in their family file " he added looking my way

" yes, she's our baby cousin " Josh says with his arms crossed

" I need a parent contact " officer reed says getting up and leading us out

Once we were outside the room and Officer Reed told one of his officers to drop us off at " the family members house " which Josh said it was Dior.

" their will be a social worker at the house later on tomorrow " he says

" will you be their ? " I ask kinda worried

" do you want me to ? " he quickly asked

Me and Layla nodded yes and then he said that he'll drop by with the social worker then, he then smiled and walked away.

We left the Station and one of the police officers started driving us to Diors house.

. . . . .

We arrived at diors house and the officer walked us to the front door and made sure we were good then left.

Quickly when she left we saw that Dior, Kennedy and Jalen were their. They got up and gave us a group hug knowing what happened.

They all started comforting us but I told them that I was gonna go for a walk since I didn't feel like staying inside.

I went outside and started walking in silence. I didn't know where I was going I just kept walking. After a while I realized that I was at bronny's house.

I went to his front door, I hesitated to knock but knocked anyways.

Nobody opened, I started to walk away but quickly stop because I heard the door open.

I turned round and saw bronny. He walked up to me and gave me a gentle hug.

" let's go inside. It's really cold out here " he says

I didn't say anything, I just followed his lead. When we got inside it seemed as if everyone was sleeping but him.

" are you ok ?" he asks with a sleepy deep voice

" I love you " I say out of nowhere

He looked at me like I was crazys.

" I love you, and I've been trying not to say it because you said to give you space but I've been trying so hard to just mush it down and ignore it and not say it. And Mikey is a great guy and he really liked me but it was never going to work out and I see that now " I say just letting everything out

" I- I love you " I say

He got up from where he was sitting and kissed me. After a while he pulled away and smiled.

" I love you too y/n and I think josh and Layla are worried about you right now " he says smiling

" oh yeaa I need to get home " I say realizing how late it was

" or you can just call and spend the night " he says with a sly smirk

I giggled then did as he said.

He always here for me I thought to myself.
