Page 5 of I Saved Him Too

“Promise me something, Jo,” I tell him, tugging on the loose string on my shorts.

“Yeah, what?”

“That no matter how bad things get, you won’t leave me behind.”

“Come on, Sade.”

“Just promise me, Jo.”

“Yeah, sis. I promise.” He pulled me to his side and kissed the top of my head.

I never thought he would break that promise.

Chapter 1-Sadie

Carter walks into the room with a painful expression.

“Hi, Sadie.” I don’t care for the uneasiness in Carter’s tone.

Why is he here? Does he need to take my statement?

“Sadie, it’s about your brother.”

My heart rate picks up.

“What about him? Did you find him?” I sit up straighter in the bed.

“Sadie…I’m so sorry to tell you this, but Josiah…Josiah…was found dead this morning.”

I stop breathing.

This can’t be happening.

“No, no, no.” I shake my head violently.

Jo’s fine. He’s fine.

“Baby,” Donnie tries reaching for me.

“You’re lying!” I snatch my hands away from Donnie. “I’ll prove it to you. Seb! Give me your phone.” I hold out my shaky hands, fingers itching to snatch his phone from him.

“Sade—”

“Don’t. Only Josiah calls me that,” I whisper, closing my eyes, hoping I didn’t hear him right, this isn’t really the worst nightmare from hell coming true.

“Please give me your phone, Seb,” I plead, opening my eyes and meeting Seb’s gaze.

“Ok, Reina.” Seb pulls his phone from his pocket and hands it to me.

I snatch his phone from his hand and dial Jo’s number.

“Hey, this is Jo. Leave me a message, and I’ll hit you back.”

I redial.

“Hey, this is Jo. Leave me a message and I’ll hit you back.”

I frantically redial the number over and over, but the message never changes.
