chapter 39

Chanel POV
We got to the hospital and we ran out to the front desk. "Andrea Russet and Kian Lawley!!!!!" the nurse looked startled and started typing. "Room 350" I carried Caroline while we rushed to the room. We burst into the room I saw everyone there , The O2L boys were crowed around Kian crying and holding his hand. Andrea was asleep and Hailey was holding her hand ,sobbing.
I saw the other guys lying in chairs . I walked to Andrea and lie Caroline On the bed. She crawls under her moms arm and sobs into her body. I hug Hailey and she cries into my shoulder. I walk over to Kian and kiss his forehead. I see JC and Ricky crying the hardest. They are his best friends. I touch their shoulders and they turn and look at me. Despite our past, We are a family. They hug me and I try to cry. I hear Caroline say, "Mommy?" I turn around and see Andreas eyes opening slowly. I walk to her and Hold her other hand.
She looks around and her eyes land on Kian's body. A tear drops down her face and Caroline wipes it away. Andreas eyes start to close again. Caroline frowns, "Mommy wake up."
I look over at Trevor who Carries Caroline out to get snacks. Hailey nods me over, "Get the doctor." I find the doctor and bring him in. We ask how they are doing and he sighs.
"Listen, When the car hit them the airbag deployed and hit Kian extremely hard. His lung collapsed and we can't get it. He doesn't have long before he bleeds out. Andrea ... she hit her head so hard , part of her skull crushed. She busted several ribs that punctured arteries.She's dying. So I suggest you say goodbye." When he finished ,everyone was crying. I was sobbing into Connors chest. I texted Trevor to bring her back. I Sat her on My lap and told her what was gonna happen. She screamed and cry . She tried to run to her parents but JC held her back. She screamed and wrestled against his strength. I cried at the sight of her losing her parents. Andrea woke back up slowly and the last thing she said was , "Watch my baby." She reached over and grabbed Kians hand. That's when her and Kian's heart rate when flat. I carried Caroline out when the doctors ran in. She screamed for her mom and dad. She hugged me so tight when the door shut. That moment was the moment Caroline lost all hope for her family.
The funeral was 1 week later. All their family and friends were invited. A Lot of youtubers were there in support. Caroline has been staying with me and Liam the past week. She refuses to go home. After the funeral was finished the family lawyer came to my house for the reading of the will. All the boys were there, and hailey. Andrea and Kian weren't in a good place with their parents and family so they were not there. The lawyer explained how the house was given to all the boys. Then came the custody of Caroline. "Andrea and Kian wished for Caroline to be in the custody of Chanel Maraz." I gasped. Everyone looked at me and Im sure we all thought the same thing. Could I handle a child?
After the lawyer left I discussed with Caroline what had happened. She smiled and hugged me. I tried to smile but I didn't know if I could raise her . The O2L guys explained they were going to build more rooms into the house so everyone could fit and that I was always welcome and so was Care. I smiled but declined. This was my home. Sawyer came up and hugged me. "I'm so sorry for you." I smiled and touched his cheek, "Thank you." He smiled and walked away. I spotted Tristen. He looked at me and immediately looked away. Soon everyone started to leave and I crashed on the couch. Liam crashed right next to me. I looked at him and chuckled, "You look terrible ."
he smiled, "You look worse. Where's Care-bear?" I smiled when he said Care-bear. "She went home tonight." He sighed. "That child lost her parents this week. How can she even smile?" I looked at him, "She's a child. All she knows is her parents are gone. She wants to find the good in everything." He looked at me. He patted the spot next to him and I laid next to him. He put his arm around me and rubbed my arm. "Can I do this? Raise her." He looked down at me, "You can do anything ." I sighed and looked around the room. "Are you gonna leave again? Am I gonna wake up one morning and you'll be gone?" He sat me up and held my cheek. "I am not leaving anytime soon." I looked at him. He put our foreheads together. I looked into his eyes. He leaned in and I did too. Our lips touched . It was slow and passionate. Then it started to get heated. He picked me up and carried me up to my room. He shut the door and then ...bliss.
I woke up the next morning and felt a arm around me. I turned around and saw Liam's sleeping face. I smiled when I recalled last nights events. I looked at his face, "Your staring." I chuckled,
"Im gazing."
"Its creepy"
"Its romantic."
He opened his eyes and kissed me. I hopped out of bed and threw on some underwear and one of his tshirts. I walked downstairs while putting my hair into a ponytail. I started breakfast and heard footsteps coming downstairs. I felt arms wrap around my waist. I turned around and smiled, "I need to cook. Go make coffee." He kissed my cheek and walked to make the coffee. While I made the omelets I thought am I a bad person for being happy during a time of grief and sadness. I finished and brought the food to the table. Then I remembered something Andrea told me once, "Even if everyone is sad or mad, you just need a little happiness. Never feel bad about being happy." Liam sat down and gave me my coffee. We ate and drank. He never took his eyes off of me. After breakfast we both showered (separately you nasty readers) and got dressed. We went to get the moving truck and I called Connor to make sure Caroline was ready. We got to the house and Caroline jumped into Liam's arms. I saw her face was puffy and red. I went over to Connor and asked about her.
"She slept in their room last night. She cried all night and screamed. We tried to get in but she locked it shut. She came out this morning and this is the first time I've seen her happy all day."
I put my hand over my mouth. She was more broken than me.
