Alex

I watched as my wife drove off, I stepped away from the window seeing Olivia did the same thing.

I was still surprised she took my toast.

then she said goodnight to me a bit short.

By the time I had the chance to respond she was already half way up the stairs.

I retired myself for the night as well.

Honestly I had a pleasant morning and throughout the day none of my workers gave me any headache.

I made my way upstairs and into my room.

I discarded my shirt and pants as I hopped into the shower.

I wrapped a towel to my waist as I combed my hair.

I put on some loose pants.

I checked the time and it was 7:20 at night.

I went to my bed grabbing my phone out.

I opened my eyes and I heard screaming, I got off from my bed.
I rushed to the screaming and down the staircase I saw Vivian...she was laying on the floor lifeless, My eyes widened.
I went to their bedroom.
I found Alex. He was leaning against the wall and his chest was bleeding out. I covered my mouth, "No No No!" I cried as I rushed to his side.
"please run along!" He says with his last breath. Then it all stopped. "No no I won't leave!" I cried. he was unresponsive.

My eyes shot open.

it was the same situation with me and my brother.. but it was with alex...

I looked to the time it was 10:20 at night.

My breathing was quickened.

I got up from my bed and I didn't care at all what happened earlier today.

I wanted to be sure it was all a dream.

I knocked at Alex's door.

I was crying as I didn't hear the door open.

So I knocked several more times.

This can't be true! Please don't let it be true..

I stared at the ground with tears pouring out.

then the lights to his room turned on and the door opened.

I looked up at him with tears streaming down my face.

He's safe... Vivian is safe.

It's all a bad dream.

I couldn't think of anything else but that he was safe so I flung myself to him.

"You-you-you're not dead" I cried out in relief.

Alex

I heard a knock at my door.

I opened one eye and it was only 10:23 at night.

Then the knocking seemed more desperate.

I got up from my bed and threw on my robe and turned the lights on.

I opened the door, and saw Olivia standing there.
With tears streaming down her face.

i've been unfazed with her crying, since she always seems to cry around me, however
before I could comprehend why she's crying this time, she flung herself at me.

"You-you-you're not dead" she sobs.

Then I don't know what my body was doing but I embraced her in a hug while rubbing circles on her back.
