"Brad it's gonna be alright" she insisted
"Brad it's gonna be alright" she insisted
"No, it's not." He argued, sliding his hand in his pocket and pulling her engagement ring out. "I promise to marry her. And I wasn't even given the chance. I've been trying for weeks to propose, and I finally did. Now she's not going to make it, and I can't even say goodbye." Brad was barely stable, his heart feeling torn in two. "I'm not okay, this isn't going to be okay. None of this is. She promised not to leave, and I knew that wasn't possible." Taking Amber's hand, he placed the diamond ring in her palm. "I can't go see her, I'd kill myself afterwards. I can't stay here. Jane is still roaming free."
"Brad you have to stay please for Caroline please just stay" she begged
"I can't Amber. I'm not joking around when I'd say I'd kill myself. The whole way up here, I couldn't imagine living without her. The reason is because I wouldn't." Brad snapped, trying to gather himself again. "I have to do this, it's partially my fault she even had breathing problems and severe anxiety. She told me I was the reason."
She shook her head "brad you can't do this okay-" she was inturrpted when the doctor coughed
At Amber being interrupted, his heart stopped in his chest. Everything turned into a hum, as his brain tuned out any noises or voices. He wasn't ready. Brad physically couldn't handle it. So he took Amber's hand, holding on to it tightly. It was a miracle he was still standing, even he was surprised.
"I'm sorry" the doctor said
Brad fumbled over to the wall, leaning back as he pressed his face in his hands. He slid down to the floor, full on sobbing. He was back at square one. Though when his anger started coming through… things were going to get violent. His emotions were up and down, incredibly intense and over exaggerated. He wasn't going to be okay.
(…? That was a really sudden jump… I'm kinda confused.)
( one of Jane's guys she told him to watch Caroline)
(Yes…. but he wouldn't have know..? He would probably still be at the hotel, not knowing Caroline and Brad had left..? Right? I'm just trying to think logically.)
( he would have been watching her woulve saw her leave I can change the.post)
(No, no you're fine. I'm just thinking, it wasn't long before both Brad and Caroline left, after the guy ran down stairs to book the room. Once he booked the room, he would have headed upstairs, not knowing both Brad and Caroline had already left. He's still be waiting there, ignoring the chaos on the ground floor. By default, never knowing Caroline went to the hospital. Unless he was down stairs, saw everything happen, and then followed them to the hospital… but then again they just got the news. So he would have either A.) had to call Jane, or B.) would be on his way as of the moment.)
(So after all that… yeah, now that I'm thinking through this, your post would need to be altered just a bit.)
(I hope this isn't causing too much trouble…. It just didn't make sense, to me)
Amber walked over to Brad and crouched down in front of him " it's going to be ok we're here for you all of us" she said
He shook his head, not able to stop from sobbing. "Y-you say that… b-but when I hurt you, are you going to stay?" Brad hiccuped his question, lifting his head up weakly. "B-Because no one ever seems to stay. Even Caroline left me, after I tried so hard not to hurt her."
" you know she loves you " Amber said " but it was her time
He buried his face in his hands, his shoulders trembling when he tried to just breath deep breaths. "T-That's why I can't let her go…" He whispered, sniffling a lot as he sucked a breath in. "I-I'm never going to be the same… after this."
"brad it's ok you'll get over this I know you loved her" she said
"Y-you don't understand," Brad continued to insist, wiping away his tears as anger and frustration started to take over. "And you wouldn't. The only guy you ever dated was a two timing jerk. He was always all over Caroline, but pretended to treat you like a queen. I wasn't like that. Not with Caroline."
" Then tell me I want to understand everyone in here lost a friend brad lily lost a sister Collins lost a close friend Kaylee lost a Best friend and so did Jasper and Lucas" she said
Brad had a tight jaw, forcing himself to relax at her words. "I just lost part of myself." He whispered, his voice snapping a bit despite him trying not to. "Caroline was what held me together. She relaxed me when I was beyond the point of calming down. There's know way to explain what she was to me, that would make sense."
"we'll try damnit" she cursed losing her temper
"I am!" Brad cried out exasperated. "I've been trying to figure this out for forever. If I knew how to explain, I would tell you. But I don't know, so I can't. Unless you have a whole second set of vocabulary, I don't think there's any way to tell you."
She stood up " someone needs to tell Collins and Lily" Amber said
Brad pushed himself off the ground, sucking in a deep breath. "I will… can I have that ring?" Brad asked weakly, holding his hand out to Amber. Of course he was still sad, it killed him to think this was reality. But he needed to get over it fast, before he acted irrationally.
She handed to the ring to him with a sad smile.
( Let me know when your ready to time skip)
(M'kay, will do)
Brad took it from her, barely forcing a smile up. His heart was aching, but he was trying to cover that up. "Thanks Amber…" Brad whispered, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before walking out of the room in silence. Outside he went, finding Collins and Lilly sitting on the front steps. Collins was holding Lilly close, whispering softly to her. Both with tears in their eyes.
Amber sighed turning to the group " how you doing" she asked
Kaylee was in Lucas's arms, him attempting to soothe her. Sighing deeply, Jasper pushed his glasses back on his face. It was clear he was still trying to believe it. "Not great." Jasper admitted, pulling away from Emmy to go and hug Amber. "What about you?"
