Enemy to Lover

He's Gone

I-...baby I-

Hunter let go of me. I held his hand tightly while a nurse walked in with a clipboard. It was Kenzie, thank god.

K- hi guys, welcome back

C- hey Kenzie, is my dad?

I got interrupted. The line went flat. I stared at the machine in depression and sadness.

K- time of death 2:41pm. I'm so sorry for your lost. For the time I knew your dad he was the best patient I've ever had

Ha- thank you Kenzie

I gave her a hug and Kenzie left. I went back to Hunter and dug my head back into Hunter's chest. I heard the door close and tears started streaming down everyone's faces. I looked up at a Hunter and saw him crying. We kept whispering to each other.

H- I'm so sorry baby

C- I knew he wasn't gonna make it

H- don't say that

C- he's gone Hunter. My dad is gone

H- I know, just breathe

He sat down in the chair and I sat on his lap facing him. I hugged him tightly while my legs were wrapped around his waist. He put his warm hands under my shirt and caressed my back.

C- I'm gonna kill Beth

H- Chloe, stop. You just lost your dad. Let the police do their job and arrest Beth

C- she killed my dad

H- I know

C- how are we supposed to tell this to everyone?

H- I don't know but right now I need you to let it out

C- I'll get your sweatshirt wet though?

H- Chloe, I don't give a fuck about my sweatshirt. Your dad just died, just cry and let it all out

C- I love you Hunty

H- love you too

I started crying hard I could tell that Hunter's sweatshirt was gonna be soaked when I was done. He was so sweet. Hunter would jump off a cliff for me. How did I get so lucky to have a best friend like this? My thoughts were interrupted by my mom talking do the doctor.

D- I'm so sorry for you loss but we have to remove your husband from the hospital

I- remove what does that mean?

I started getting worried but Hunter and I kept holding tight onto each other.

D- we would have to remove your husband's body from the hospital and give it to a funeral home since your husband has been pronounced dead

I- oh ok

D- before we do that is there any specific funeral home you would like for you husband to stay at until the funeral date?

I- yes please. I would like him to stay at the 'Wilmington Funeral Home For Military'

D- ok, we'll call them and transport his body to the funeral home. I'll be back in 30 minutes, so you guys can have you moments with him

I- thank you Doctor Brown

D- of course

I heard her leave the room while I let go of Hunter.

H- are you ok?

C- no

I went back into the hug and cried again. He sighed.

H- he's in a better place now

C- I wish I was there with him

H- Chloe, please don't do anything to yourself

C- ok Hunty

H- thank you baby

I pulled away from the hug, got up and we both walked to my dad hand in hand. One of his hands were on my ass and the other was holding mine. I don't know why but when Hunter touches my ass I feel calm. He wasn't my boyfriend, but I wish he was. One hand was holding my dads and the other was holding Hunter's. We all gathered around my dad holding hands and started doing our own prayers. After the 30 minutes, the doctor comes back, covers dad up and takes him away. I couldn't watch so I hugged Hunger again.

H- you wanna go home, eat chocolate and watch funny movies?

C- mhm

H- ok let's go baby

I- ok we can leave now that they took your dad. Let's go home and tell the others

N- ok

We all got in the limo without saying a word. I cuddled up next to Hunter while he was playing with my hair. I started playing with his sweatshirt strings. We got home and we all met up in the kitchen. Joe, Finn, Uncle Hunter, Aunt Ashley, Naomi, Maisy, Jill and Beau all sat down at the island. (lmk if I missed someone and I'll fix it) We all looked tired and drained, they knew something was wrong.

B- is everything ok?

Ha- do you want me to tell them?

I- no I'll do it

Hallie caressed my mom while Hunter and I were hugging. We looked like this....

I started crying again while he wiped my tears off my face. I couldn't believe that my mom was about to tell everyone that my dad died.

I- Thomas was pronounced.....
