This day has gone terribly. First, we were the only ones there today. Second, the Delanceys crash the party along with the cops and Snyder.

Snyder.

He took them. He took Crutchie and soaled the hell out of him. I'm not sure he would have survived it if Esther wouldn't have intervened.

Esther.

He took Esther. She was taken back to that hell hole. She isn't going in with a good start. She's already escaped that place once but now she'll have to do it again. Snyder is going to be happy to have her back. The thought of her being alone with that man made my stomach churn. I held back vomit as I climbed the ladder to the roof. I just sat there.

I think of my brother and how he didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve to be a crip. He has a heart of gold underneath the dirt stained shirt.

I think of Esther. She didn't deserve this either. She is smart, kind, and an amazing person. She isn't afraid to use her voice. The Refuge is kind to the silent.

I stare at the streets below me. I miss them so much.
