CHAPTER 18


I had never put much thought into my parents dying. I guess it's because they were still so young.

I'm sure they themselves never really thought about dying.

But that moment my world came crashing down.

Everything happened in slow motion.

The doctor ran to mom's side as Dad watched Horrified as the love of his life's heart stopped beating.

As if sensing something wrong with  their  mother the twins began crying but their cries were like a distant echo.

The doctor began shouting but i heard nothing coming from her mouth as nurses began pushing us out of the room.

I turned to Alec His face mirroring dads expression before he turned to me.

His hands reached out for me but with the force the nurses were pushing us out with i could grasp his hand.

Then we were out the room and everything was back to normal.

Nurses running and shouting in the room.

Dad's hand was on his head as he stared at the door that held his wife captive.

Then as if now finding the words i began mumbling "no....no...no." Soft no's were just tumbling out of my mouth. 

I couldn't find any other words to say other than no.

Dad began screaming and running his hand through his hair hard "LAURA!" 

Some nurses grabbed him and pushed him away.

It was like an earthquake in my body that began from my feet up.

"M-mom." Calling her was all i could do. it just kept spilling out.

Dad was on the floor leaning on the wall his head between his knees as his hand ran through it.

Finding my feet I got up and ran out the door leaving dad screaming for mom on the floor.

I didn't now if i was thinking straight but it was 4 in the mornign and my mother was apparently.....

No she wasn't i could say it.

riley just stop

Riley!

i didn't know if it was me screaming for myself i was blinded, numb i didn't know what to do.

"RILEY!" Alec screamed my name.

When i caught myself i was in the parking lot and it was raining.

And that's when i really broke down.

before i could fall Alec caught me in his arms.

"A-alec, she's gone." I cried into his chest.

He held me tight to him as the sky wailed on us.

His hands held me by my head and securely around my waist bringing me close to him.

"I can't lose her, I can't lose her." Was all i kept repeating in his chest.

I didn't know if he was hearing me through the heavy rain but he continued holding me close.

ROSS' POV


"Laura." 

"Laura." Was all I could croak.

I had lost my voice about two minutes ago and I sat on the hospital floor rocking myself.

I can't lose her.

I can't lose my baby.

She's my everything. 

Laura and I have been through so much together from the moment we were best friends from just a young age to being married with now five kids. 

She was my rock, my strength, my hiding place.

She was my everything.

Just the thought of her gone made me sick to my stomach and the tears streaming down my face.

"No my baby." I whispered to myself.

"Laura."

She was always so cheerful and happy. 

growing up she was always caring and loving.

I remembered when we were eleven and Her grandmother, the only living blood relative she had alive died.

She was so devastated that because everyone in her home was crying she spent the entire week by my place.

She would curl up to my chest all day and cry as i held her to me.

But now.

Her body's probably  lying motionless on the hpsoital bed.

No

she wasn't gone.

She couldn't be.

She was laughing a few minutes ago.

And then they didn't take the twins out of the room.

I had no idea what was happening  a bunch of thought girls swirled around in my head.

I needed Laura.

I needed to hold her and kiss her and tell her everything was okay.

But it wasn't.

i Didn't now how long it was till the doctor walked out.

She walked up to me and stretched her hands out for me to take.

I hesitated before taking it.

I didn't want to hear the horrible news that she had to tell me.

But with her help I shakily stood as a few nurses walked out the room.

I didn't look at their faces afraid that there expression would give it away.

maybe she was gone for good.

"Mr.Lynch...." She began.

I inhaled deeply bracing myself for the news.
