Toretto Mansion
Nobody's POV
The flood water has rushed in, filling the living room instantly. Everyone tried keeping their heads above the float, easier said than done. Without hesitation, Dom grabbed the closest object to him and began to puncture a hole in the ceiling. After good blows, there was enough room for everyone to fit through, and one by one they all frantically went up the hole, leading to the second floor. Ramsey, however, didn't quite make it. The water and forceful winds sucked her body back down and right into the depths of blue despair. She let out a blood-curdling scream upon impact, The Crew observing from up to, all taken back with mass fear
"RAMSEY!" Tej choked out "HOLD ON IM COMING FOR YOU!"
Tej dove right back into the living room, making a crash landing into the water.
"BIG BROTHER!" Alyssa wailed
The youngest Parker attempted to follow after her brother, But Roman pulled her back and held her into place.
"LET ME GO….LET ME GO, I NEED TO SAVE HIM!" She pleaded pitifully
"I can't let you do that" Roman said softly "He's…..gone"
The tears swelling in Alyssa's eyes was just the beginning. Her whole body began to tremble under Roman's embrace and she started feeling sick to her stomach. Tej and Ramsey were gone. It just couldn't be….not like this.
"Come on guys, we have to keep moving" Dom proclaimed

2nd Floor
20 mins later….
Darryl's POV
Dom & Brian have just finished patching up the whole and Alyssa was still balling her eyes out. I tried to comfort her but she just pushed me away and said: "Not now, O'Connor". Really wish there was something to be done, but sadly there isn't to my knowledge. There is no way Tej and Ramsey could survive that long without oxygen, So a miracle would ease everyone's sorrow.
"Alright all secured" Brian announced "However, it may only last for a brief period"
"I knew we should have evacuated, Dom what the hell were you thinking?!" Letty demanded viciously
"I don't know Letty!, Tej & Ramsey are gone due to my screw-up. I promised to keep everyone safe and failed. I know saying sorry wouldn't bring them back. We just have to try and move forward"
"Dom's right" Mia agreed "We have to stay strong, for Tej & Ramsey's sake"
"How is that possible?" Alyssa questioned in a muffled voice "Because this stings oh so bad"
At that moment I made a dart for Alyssa and hugged her tightly. I know she's probably mad at me doing this….oh well. However, to my surprise, she didn't push me off or anything, but rather hugged back. We stayed connected until the crashing of a nearby tree came down onto the mansion, trapping Letty underneath.
"LETTY!"
The remainder of us grabbed a limb and strained ourselves vigorously trying to lift. Things just aren't going our way
"It's so heavy!" Roman grunted
"I don't understand how six people can't lift this?!" Brian added quite annoyed
"We have to keep trying!" I said
Letty groaned in agony, her face forming a scrunch
"Guys please hurry, this tree is crushing my abdomen!"
We all tried lifting again with extreme force, The room filled with nothing but the sounds of our grunts.
I'd say over fifteen minutes had passed before we all stopped to take a breather. But to our misfortune, the previously patched hole erupted and water began to enter the 2nd floor.
Oh just fantastic
"You guys go, I'll stay here with Letty," Dom told us
"But Dom…." Mia pleaded
"Please. I need to fix this and I don't want any of you caught in the crossfire"
"There's no way you can lift that tree by yourself" Roman mentioned
"I have to try. Now Go!, the water is rising fast"
We all nodded in understanding and left Dom & Letty behind, In route for the attic.

Attic
Nobody's POV
Brian, Mia, Darryl, Alyssa & Roman are all sitting silently in the attic. The forceful winds from outside could be heard knocking against the house. It was only a matter of time before the water would reach them and there would be nowhere else to run, this could be the end of The Toretto Crew.
"Guys no matter what happens, just remember I love you all" Brian croaked before turning to Mia and place his hand on her stomach
"I can't believe I won't get to meet you"
Tears swelled in the older blond's eyes, the situation was getting the best of him.
"This so unreal. Things can't end like this" Alyssa stated also teary eyed
"Maybe it doesn't have to be" Roman stated
"What do you mean?" Darryl questioned
"I mean everyone probably didn't evacuate, which means there could be rescue helicopters circling around the city"
"Well if that's the case, there's no way we can alert them"
"What about our cell phones?" Alyssa mentioned
"Mine got ruined when the water came crashing into the living room," Darryl said
The others nodded along
"Which means there's only one other way, But it could catastrophic"
_F and F: Family Chronicles_
"Alyssa this is nonsense!" Darryl proclaimed
"I told you it could be catastrophic"
"Yeah, but standing on the roof while a hurricane is in progress?!"
"It was either that or drown!"
"Well, we're going to eventually if this storm doesn't let up!"
"ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU!" Mia interrupted
The two teens stop their disagreement and continued on with the job at hand. The remaining 5 were all crouched together on the roof, holding onto the remaining support structure for dear life. Even though wind conditions had improved, it still wasn't necessarily safe.
"Anybody see a helicopter?" Brian asked
"Nope, not a thing bro" Roman responded "Hopefully something shows up soon because I don't know how much longer I….."
Roman's sentence was interrupted by the gale force winds wiping him away
"ROMAN!"
"Oh no, Oh no, Oh no. What are we gonna do?!" Darryl sobbed
"Calm down Darryl, We have to be….."
This time Brian has been blown off the roof and traveled across Miami at a rapid rate. Followed by Roman, Mia & Alyssa.
Darryl's POV
I can't believe this is it! Everyone is gone and it's only a matter of time before I get blown away. Things can't end this way. My grip is weakening by the minute for this slippery foundation and of course, these forceful winds aren't slowing down.
There was a brief moment where a faint batch of sirens filled my eardrums; Is this the miracle I've been hoping for?, Please oh please let it be. Put in an end to this nightmare. As I listened closer, it seemed as though the sirens were, in fact, getting closer.
"HELP…..HELP…..HELP…...HELP!"
Not really sure if any of that was heard, but it was worth a shot. If not, then this will be the end of Darryl O'Connor.
There's nothing left to say or do. We'll just have to see how everything plays out.
To be continued…..
