Jimmy’s P.O.V.
Hours had past, I wouldn’t leave Brian and sissy’s room although they were gone. I was still in the room sitting back in the chair thinking about so many things in my head. My best friend had left me and my baby sissy died of heart break. I truly saw how happy she was with my best friend and how stupid I had felt when they first started to date. I was scared then and now, I regretted it all. There was so many things that I didn’t tell them, like how proud I was of them, how much I loved them. They were dead and gone now and there was nothing I could do besides sit here and break down.
Abby is now left without parents but I promised them that I would do anything for their little girl, that if something like this happened I would help take care of her. I didn’t know anything about taking care of a kid though, that was the big problem. But, I knew that they guys had my back and Papa Gates, I hope. I was going to be a single father and I just hope I could make it. I didn’t want to let my sister down and I didn’t want to let my best friend down or the kid.
Finally, after hours, I was able to get up from the chair and looked down to the area where the bed sat with my memories going back on my sister. How broken hearted she was that Brian had left her. I just wish I would of told her how much I loved her, how much I loved Brian too. There was so many things I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to see me get married, God willing and have a baby.
I wanted to play with Brian once more before he left. We were in the middle of writing a new album and now he is gone. No doubt that Papa Gates would help us out with it but having to find someone to take his place was going to be impossible and I wasn’t going to have it. I didn’t want anyone to replace my brother and no one will.
My phone ringing though made me jump. My sister crossed my mind when it rang, it would have been her at this time asking me to come over for a while since Abby was in for a nap and Brian was out doing things or he was practicing on his guitar at the studio.
“Hey.” I said lightly. It was Matt.
“Hey man, you doing alright?” He asked gently. No one else knew about my sister’s death. I was the only one to know and I didn’t want to tell them about it. But they were going to ask sooner or later.
“Y-yeah I guess,” I whispered and looked down to my feet feeling really weird talking to him. It felt like I had been sleeping for a very long time and now I was finally waking up from a nightmare that just became true.
“Need a ride home?” He asked me. I totally forgot about my car being totaled now and that my best friend died in it. That was the worst part about it. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, do I really want to go home or would I rather stay in a nasty, creepy hospital just thinking?
“Yes please,” I said. He said that he was going to come and get me and I hung up and made my way outside to the parking lot and lit up a cigarette. And leaned up against the cool wall and sighed. I closed my eyes and started to think about my baby sister, remembering her wedding, all those fun days that we had and started to cry again. I pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my face in my knees crying for my baby sister. She was gone and away from me and I was heart broken without them. Why did they have to leave me like this? Why did the have to leave me!?
There was a car door slam and foot steps that were coming close to me and I looked up and saw Matt standing there with a small smile on his face with his aviators on. He knelt down in front of me and without saying anything he pulled me into a hug.
“She’s gone Matt,” I cried holding onto him letting the cigarette fall from my fingers beside him.
“Katie?” He asked me gently. I nodded and cried even harder. He just held onto me, my big brother holding onto me telling me how sorry he was for that. I pulled away after a while and wiped my tears away and looked away from him and stood. We walked to his car and I was silent the whole time going home. I didn’t even want to be home. There was to many memories there and I didn’t want to drowned in them. My sister came to me a lot and Brian and I would have fights.
“You going to be alright being home by yourself man?” Matt asked me pulling into my driveway. I nodded and stepped out of the car without another word and dragged myself to me bedroom and crashed on my bed and just slept.
Ruby’s P.O.V.
I’m going to California! I’m going to California! Why? Because I am moving out of the house and I have the money to go! I was going to start a band, I already have a place there and I was going to meet my best friend Katie who just moved there from Germany and her best friend Elly and I was going to have the time of my life. My mom and dad were upset of course, who wouldn’t be upset that there daughter was leaving?
The whole three hours up to Anchorage were the best and the worst. The worst because the closer we got to the airport the more my mother cried. My dad held her hand and told her that I would visit which I would of course but I just hope they realized I wasn’t going to come back anytime soon.
I was sick and tired of the cold, sick of being cooped up in the house in the winters and working with my old man shoveling snow and mowing lawns and such in the summer. I was going to go and do what I loved which meant the beach, endless concerts and finally, finally able to be with my friends.
Not only that but my favorite band ever lived in California and I was excited to see them as well. They were working on a new album and they were also going to play a live show sometimes soon, I hope.
“You going to be alright by yourself?” My father asked. The lady just announced that the last plane ride was out and I was about to board.
“Yes daddy, I will be fine,” I smiled. I came and hugged my parents and gave my mother a big hug knowing that I was going to miss her the most.
“You tell Katie I said hello, and Jimmy,” She chuckled and kissed the top of my head. My mother and I were really close. She knew about Katie and about all my other online friends and of course about the hot drummer that I absolutely loved.
“Bye guys,’ I whispered. I grabbed my backpack and looked behind to my parents seeing them hold onto one another giving me a last and final wave good-bye and I was on my way to paradise.
