to clear up some things:

Ethan and Grayson died because of the explosion. (Keep in mind: this is only fictional)

Landon and Luke are in prison since they were selling drugs etc.

In the last chapter Isabella listed her brother Caleb as missing. Yes, he was in the building like the twins, so he actually should be dead right? Well Caleb's corpse, more like pieces of his corpse, weren't found. For Isabella it is a proof that he's still alive. That's what she believes and wants. After an explosion you don't always find left pieces of someone, so that means that Caleb died. Or not? :)

As for Dylan and Carter, they are also missing according to Isabella because she hasn't seen them for a year now. Back then when the oldest got taken away into prison, Isabella also got taken away by and was put into the orphanage since Carter and Dylan weren't old enough to have custody over her. In the first year they kept visiting her and Carter promised her to take her back home as soon as he turns 18,but it never happened. Isabella waited for the day but to her disappointment they weren't there to pick her up on Carter's birthday. She waited a few days, weeks, months after she gave up hope. She prayed for her brothers to be safe rather than being angry at them.

The last thing that happened was when Mrs,Davis came into her room and told her a family was interested to adopt her. She is 16 years old at that time and normally with 16 you're leaving the orphanage. In a few days she actually would have left the orphanage but in the last minute a family showed unterste in her. Now what's gonna happen? Well, what did happen hm? ;)

A lot of you guys want me to do an epilogue, so yeah I'm going to write an epilogue buuuuut I think I'm going to take my time. I don't want to come up with spontaneous ideas again cause that would ruin everything again lol.

I'm going to answer some questions:

1) some people are confused about the whole 'who's missing' part and this is now the list from the last chapter but now with the names

Landon: in prison
Luke: in prison
Caleb: missing
Carter: missing
Dylan: missing
Ethan: dead
Grayson: dead

2) is there going to be a book 2?

Tbh i don't know. I decided to make an epilogue for now and I still have to start with that. Let's see after I finish the epilogue :)

3) is there going to be a happy end?

Yes!

And wow the story reached now 402k views omg!!! Thank you so much <3
