Bryce's POV
I've been getting letters from my dad in prison. How does he know where I live? I have no clue. All of the letters talk about how we have unfinished business and it's my fault he's in there.
He's not wrong. I called the cops on him when I was Lucas's age. He had been hitting my mom and even at that age I knew it was wrong.
But as I get older I become more and more like him. I look exactly like him when he was my age. He was known as the party animal of his generation. He was dating the most beautiful girl that everyone wanted, as I am with Addison.
I don't want to be him. There's only one way to ensure that doesn't happen. It's gonna hurt some people but I can't end up like him.
I sat in my bathroom and prayed. I know Bryce Hall praying not something easy to imagine. But I feel like I have too.
"Dear God, I know we don't talk much but I need you to do me a favor. Help them understand I'm doing this for their own good. I don't want to hurt them, but I know it will. I can't do to them what he did to me and Ma. Help the boys grieve. I'm begging you. They don't handle stuff like this very well. Make sure Momma keeps the house and she doesn't give up on life because of this. And Addison. Oh my god Addison. Help her move on. Help her find someone better than me who can take care of her and be a good father to her kids. We all know she wants quite a few kids. Make sure they all know I love them. Thank you God. Amen." I finished and stood up to grab a big ass bottle of pain killers.
I looked at the bottle of pills in my hand. "Ma, Addison, Boys. I love you. Never forget that." I said and then took the entire bottle one by one.
Blake's POV
Bryce and I were supposed to go to the beach with Addison and Amelie and we're late to go pick up the girls.
"BRYCE LETS GO PUSSY!" I yelled from downstairs. I got no response and thought he just fell asleep so I called Addison.
"Addison call your stupid boyfriend. He's not coming out of his room or responding." I said as she answered. "Blake be nice that's your brother!" My girlfriend Amelie yelled at me.
"Whatever just get him up." I said she laughed and hung up. Soon after that I got a text that said he wasn't answering the phone.
I went upstairs and opened his door. Pieces of paper covered his floor. I picked a couple of them up. Letters from his father.
I knocked on the bathroom door once I saw the light was on underneath the door. No answered.
"OH MY GOD! BRYCE!" I yelled. Empty bottle of pills on the floor Bryce on the floor knocked out cold.
"One of you call 911 and someone else call Addison" I yelled once the boys were in the room with me.
"911 what's your emergency." The operator said. "My friend tried to kill himself." Jaden said. "Okay we'll have officials to you in 5 minutes." She said. "Thank you!" He said and hung up.
"Hey Ant what's up." I heard Addison on the phone. "Addison you need to get here immediately. It's Bryce something happened!" He said in a worried tone. "I'll be there in a few minutes." She hung up.
Addison's POV
When I got the call from Anthony I was immediately scared and confused I don't know what happened but I know I have to go right now.
Ame and I got in the car and raced over to Sway. On the way there an ambulance and a bunch of police cars raced passed us and went in the direction of Sway.
"Oh my god..." I whispered and Amelie held my hand on the gear shift. "It's gonna be okay."
Pulling up to Sway I got out of the car and pushed passed police officers to get into Bryce's room.
I saw him passed out on the floor and that was it for me. I dropped to the floor right beside him and cried over him.
"Ma'am we need to take him." The coroner said to Addison. "She just lost her boyfriend of 3 years give her a minute to say goodbye." Blake said to him.
"Please Bryce, don't leave me. You have so much here. The boys, the girls, Lucas, Your Mom, Me! What are we supposed to do!" I balled. "Don't leave me here. You can't leave me here by myself! What about our future! A girl and a boy Angeli and Braeden just like you wanted. A big house right here in LA. Honeymoon in Italy! I can't do that without you! Baby, Please." I can't even breathe right now.
I held him in my lap cradling his dead body while I balled my eyes out.
Soon after that the coroners took him away to the city morgue.
It's the morning of the funeral and I'm standing in my bathroom with a positive pregnancy test in my hand.
I can't believe I have to do with without him.
August 14th, 2024 our twins Angeli Rayne Hall and Braeden Michael Hall were born. Lisa and my parents all here for support.
Oh how I wish you were here.
