A sharp gasp came from Kaylee, and her grip on Brad's shoulders tightened as she broke down into sobbing fits. Brad went completely numb, with Collins just the same. Emmy didn't seem as effected by it, but seeing Jasper start to break down she couldn't keep from getting upset. Lilly had gone sickly pale, the color draining from her skin, and the life from her eyes. She couldn't stay in there, and briskly walked out alone. Collins followed after her, after a minute or two. No one said a word, they were all in a state of shock.
"They don't think she'll make it" Amber whispered
Brad forced himself to stand, walking up to Amber and pulled her into a tight hug. He sobbed into her shoulder, barely keeping up right. It was best to get the tears out now, before tomorrow when he had to go stop Jane. "This is her fault!" He cried out, holding on to Amber tightly. "Thomas's too… this is all their fault."
"Brad…"Amber started " Caroline wanted to do this" she said
"I don't care!" He cried out, pulling back enough to look at her. Pain and grief was written over his entire face. "If Thomas had just come back up to the room, we wouldn't be here right now. Caroline would still be here. It's all his damn fault." He insisted, his fist clenching.
"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."
