Hello everyone! So, when I decided to connect The Good Fight, with this and Do you remember me, I started to wonder whether or not to keep updating this until I finish beat again. I will, and I'll try my best not to drop any spoilers, although if I do they'll probably be really shuttle except for one that I kinda can't get around. Anyways here it is!
Recorder music. Actual recorder music came floating around from downstairs. It was plain and obvious that Isabelle was already up.
Ed crawled out of bed careful not to wake Edna up. Even if it was only one person, Isabelle still needed an audience here at- what time was it? Five a.m.?
Isabelle sat at the piano bench playing out until she reached the chorus where she began to sing.
Ed joined her.
"My chains are gone. I've been set free. For my God, my Savior, has ransomed me. And like a flood, his mercy rains. Unending love, amazing grace."
Isabelle smiled at Ed, "wow Grandpa! You're a really good singer. How come you don't sign more often?"
"I want to, but I can't always remember the words. Sometimes I can't remember anything Isabelle," ed tried to smile, but he knew this conversation was turning, fast.
"That's okay Grandpa. I can help you remember the words!"
"Thank you Isabelle. I would appreciate that a lot. Now, how about you and I make breakfast for everyone?"
"Yeah!" Isabelle cheered, "let's make chocolate chip pancakes!" Isabelle skipped towards the kitchen.
Ed followed behind humming Amazing Grace. Isabelle would get that solo. He just knew it.
Smoke! I smell smoke!
Jay sat up in bed and began to gag. The house was on fire!
"Nya wake up!" Jay shook her awake, "we have to get the kids, now!"
"What's going on, Jay?"
"Grandpa! Help me!" Isabelle shrieked.
Oh no. Jay's heart stopped. Whatever was happening downstairs was not good.
Nya threw the covers off and ran to get Alex. Edna collided straight into her.
"Get out and call 911 quick! The house is on fire!"
Alex began to scream, "Hang on buddy!" Nya grabbed two washcloths and held them over hers and Alex's mouths.
"Alright, head count is everyone here?" Jay asked as soon as he got out with Isabelle and Ed.
Nya nodded her head, "the firefighters should get here soon. Does anybody know what happened?"
"I don't remember," Ed replied.
Isabelle trembled, "I'm scared Mommy! Where are we going to live now?"
Nya shook her head. God, what do we do now? We have nowhere to go.
"I don't know," Nya paused for a minute, "but God does," she added although she had less hope than she did back when she watched her father die from a stroke.
"Why did God let our house burn down?"
"I don't know."
Jay punched in Zane's contact. Nya had offered Evin a babysitting job. The fire still wasn't out, and the kids couldn't just keep watching.
"Hey Jay! What's up?" Zane asked.
"Zane! Praise God you answered. Our house is on fire! Can you have Evin watch the kids for a couple hours until we straighten everything out?"
"Yeah. Anything you need Pixal and I can take care of. You can stay with us for as long as you need. We'll come pick everyone up in a few.
Jay shook as he hit end call. How could he accept Zane's offer?
God, what do I do?
I hope you all enjoyed. I'll try to update soon, but I have a busy week, so we'll see what happens. Fyi: most of these events really happened to my family or families we know. My friends house burnt down a couple years ago and her family stayed with us for a month and a half. That's where this parts from. It was around the time my Grandma died, so this is kind of going in order of how it happened in real life. If you have any questions on this I guess, go ahead and ask away. I'm willing to answer anything at the beginning of the next chapter as long as it relates to the series somehow. Gotta go! See Ya!
