Sparklers of Love Three

Oh hello, it's been a while since you last caught up. A month? That's way too long. Since you last joined me, lots has gone on. A small group of people I became friend with and were the only trusted ones with the secrets.

The first person was called Dani. She has hair that made her look more like a boy, but we all knew it looked amazing. It was really cool, as she brought the craziness into the group and was in my class too.

Secondly another called Gordon. He was in the year above and was very tall. He knew everything you wanted to know about games. He brought the geek-ness and well made us seem half-intelligent.

Thirdly there was Ryan. He was older as well but he was a complete rebel and was really awesome with the things he did.

So that was the main people I knew, interacted with and was friends with. Lets go to a day which went really strange. It started horribly on a Sunday morning. The night before me and Jacob had a part and it carried on too late, so I just slept over. I completely forgot about telling my family that I slept over, so I needed to get back pretty early.

It was 4am and I was about 10 seconds away from my house. BANG! BANG! BANG! Four gunshots exploded in the air. They came from the direction I came from. This was really, really bad.

I crept really slowly towards the front door. Before I got there a black figure jumped over the fence and ran off leaving the house. The figure was dressed in black clothes, mask and gloves. You could still tell it was a man. Fear struck me like how the gunshots attacked the air.

I tied the door. It was unlocked. Very unusual. My dad always locks the door on a night, so I knew something was definitely wrong. I opened the middle door. It was quiet, really quiet. Even thought it was really early morning, this was strange. There was no dog.

As I flicked the light on I noticed a piece of paper on one of the chairs. Placed in the middle of the room. This was extremely scary as my mind just was beginning to explode with trying to deal with what was happening. I picked it up and road the oddly written words,
"The owners of this house,
and others were killed,
They did not pay the final,
demands
Emma"

This sent as shock through my mind. All them were gone. Those gunshots were my family. They would have never known about me. I could never tell them now. I picked up my phone and speed dialed my number one.

"Jacob. Help!" I screamed as it connected,
"What happened?"
"They are gone!"
"Who?"
"Everyone?"
"Hold on"

He put the phone down. I just sat in the corner of the sofa, with the note as far way from me as possible. he arrived in 5 mins in a car of someone's i didn't recognize. "What Happened?" Jacob exclaimed as he burst thorough the door. I just pointed to the note.

He read it.

Then he ran up the stairs, stopping at the landing. "I found them" he shouted. I couldn't bring myself to look. Jacob always knew what to do and phoned the police straight away. Amazingly because Jacob had a way with dealing with people, they arrived in a short time of half an hour. He calmed me down by holding me in a hug, while we waited.

That night just turned worse. It slowed right down. Life was at a standstill. Jacob has to keep me the entire night hugging me, nearly to death. I eventually calmed down by the multiple distractions of music he presented me.

I had to do a statement and a lot more for the police. We didn't know anything what would happen, or why these people came. It must have been a major secret I was never to know about. In ways I was extremely lucky for Jacob to be there and have saved me from what could have been my awaiting doom.

The next few days none of us went to school. It was a stupid idea to even try to go and I had major decisions to make about what was going to happen with my life. All of my friends came round and they calmed me as much as they could. What else could you do? Knowing your family, the ones you knew since birth mostly, had been murdered.

"You could move in with us. Most of us are adopted anyway" Dani Suggested. Seems as though we looked practically related anyway, I agreed to the idea. She phone her parents and they came up and discussed it to me. I could stay for now, as there would be really no point in adoption for me now. They had a small box room, which I was extremely thankful for.

I moved my stuff over into the small box room. My stuff fit with no problems at all. I settled in really quickly, and to help repay them for letting me have somewhere I helped them a lot. They were really thankful, even though they said it was no bother.

At the time many people did not know seriously about me and Jacob. Some strangers guessed from the way we acted out of school. From what some people saw in the recent events, I was presented with one of the most important things in my life I had to do.
