Jaxson's POV

Isaac and I were walking to my old home to go get my things. When we got there, I climbed through my window into my room. I found my laptop and throw it into one of the bags we brought. I got all my clothes and shoes. Since there is a spare room at Isaac's, I got to use it for my clothing. I put my bunny hugs in the closet and my everyday clothes in the dresser. We put all my shoes at the door, except winter boots, this went into the basement. My laptop stayed in Isaac's room with his.

When I entered his room, he was asleep. I smiled at him. He looks cute when he sleeps, not that he is not cute. I love him, I am so happy that I got to be with him. I climbed into bed with him. This feels like a dream. The only thing left for me is to get married and have a family. Hope said that she wants a family, but she said she will never get one. I hope I get one. I was on my phone when Levi texted me. I opened it. It said...

Hope is in the hospital again

"Isaac. Isaac wake the hell up" I say well shaking him

"What," he said in his morning voice

"We are going to the hospital," I say

"What, why," he asked

"Hope," I say, and we make our way to the hospital.

When we got there, we found Levi. He was crying

"Levi? What happened" Isaac asked

"She, she's gone" Levi said

"what" Isaac and I speak

"Hope, she fucking died. I lost the one person I had no matter what" Levi said his voice cracking

Levi's POV

When I got home that night, I went to Corbin's room. When I got to his door I knocked. He opened the door, and he immediately knew I was crying.

"Levi, what happened," he asked with concern in his eyes

"Are the twins here," I ask

"Yes. Why" he said quietly

"I need you three to come downstairs as soon as possible. I need to tell you three something" I say and walk away to the living room. Soon Corbin, Joshua, and Jonah were sitting on the sofa.

"What did you need to tell us," Corbin asked

"It is about Hope," I say

"No," Jonah said, I can see the fear in his eyes

"What happened," Joshua said calmly Like he what happened and was waiting

"she" I take a breath "she died today," I say

"Wah- "Corbin started

"No," Jonah said tears in his eyes

"Baby it's okay," Corbin said

"no. it's not okay. It will never be okay" Jonah said, tears running down his face.

"Jonah it's okay, I promise," Joshua said trying to calm him down

"Josh, she's gone," he said

"But she is still here if you bel
