Anthony Speaking
I remember the exact moment I was told that Leo died. I couldn't really speak. The aneurysm was another reason why I couldn't say anything. I hadn't spoken a full sentence in a week. I could only say stuff like ,yeah, okay, yes no, stuff like that.
Oak speaking
Your facial expression, like I could tell you were upset, you didn't even have to say anything.
Anthony speaking
It was hard... He was like my big brother you know, it's like I lost a sibling, he wasn't just my best friend but he was my brother. He was there for me... all the time, When I was in the hospital when I had appendicitis he was there. He helped me recover. When a close family member of mine died... he comforted me. And I could message him and be like yo I'm goin' through this I need you help and I'd do the same thing for him, so when I found out he died like... it felt like a piece of me died...
Oak speaking
I refused to believe it. I mean, I was already worried as hell about Ant and then just to get that news like... man I don't know. And it's not something you just recover from in a few days or weeks. It's been a year and every time I think about him it hurts. People be like "Oh do you watch old videos of you two together, think about the good times?" I'm like I can't, I can't, it hurts to much. Like, I don't know when or if I'll ever recover.
Renee speaking (The Schuyler Sisters are sitting next to each other)
You know that feeling when you loose a child, that's what I felt when we lost Leo. I don't have any children so when I came to the show it's like I adopted every single one of them. Saddest part about it is Leslie and I were right next to him when he died. Les wasn't even looking at him, he was turned around and when he heard the monitor do that beeep sound he almost collapsed. I screamed, it was the absolute worst day of my life. And plus I had a head injury. If I got to stressed than it could've caused major problems. The collapse caused me to get a hemorrhage and I couldn't really function but we'll get to that in another episode.

Flashback
Leslie's POV
I'm in Leo's room with Renee and he won't wake up. They put him on life support because he was dying. It's been a week and a half and he won't wake up. I'm extremely exhausted because I've barely gotten any sleep since the collapse. The doctors come in with the worst news I've ever gotten.
"So it's been a while and well I think it's time to pull the plug because there's a 1 percent chance he'll wake up." The doctor said sorrowfully.
I just feel like something pushed me back. Take him off life support are you crazy! My world came crashing down on me. He's like my big brother. I don't want to loose him.... But we have no choice, he won't wake up. There's a 1% chance he'll wake up...
WHY!!!!!!
Renee's POV
We have to take him off life support, We have to take him off life support, We have to take him off life support, We have to take him off life support!!!!!!!!!! No, no, no, no... This can't be happening. This is not happening... It's just a dream... just a dream. I'll wake up in a few seconds and it'll be over.
"Renee?" Leslie says.
I have my eyes closed but I know it's him and I can hear the heartbreak in his voice.
"Renee!" I'm muttering and pacing back in forth.
"RENEE!" He says once more.
I open my eyes thinking I'd in my bed... but I'm not. It's not a dream. It starts getting harder to breathe I feel like the room is closing in on me and I scream and sink to the floor.
"No, no, no, no, no!" I say. Leslie comes over to me.
"We can't take him off life support, he'll die!" I say sadly. Leslie looks distraught.
"We have no choice." he says.
"Can we wait a few more hours?" He looks at the doctor.
"Sure." She says in tears and walks out the room.
"Can I have a few minutes with him?" I ask.
"Yeah, I'll be in Izzi's room if you need me." He walks out the room.
Isabella Speaking
It's been a week. I'm still in the hospital. And... I mean Leslie, poor Leslie is just so disoriented from all of this. Like, what he said to me I'll never forget. It was so heart-breaking.
Flashback
Isabella's POV
I'm sitting in my hospital bed watching YouTube, when Leslie comes in. "Uh Izzi ." he says quietly.
"What's wrong les?" I tap the bed indicating to him that I want him to sit down next to me.
"Les, are you alright?" He sits down next to me.
"Leslie?" I ask again.
"I can't!" He cries.
"It's all to much, I can't take it, I've had enough. First the building collapses, then Jas goes into a coma, then Ant gets a brain tumor, and now Leo's dead!" he screams.
Hold on did he say Leo's dead. I wasn't informed about that! He stands up
"Why does this have to happen! Then we can't even do the show and I wish I could just use a time machine and go back to before this and warn everyone about what'll happen but I can't and now Leo's gone and it's my fault, I said we should go to that hotel and now it collapsed and killed my best friend. I've been trying to hold it together but I can't anymore. And everyone's looking up to me for comfort but I to stay strong for everyone. I just- I can't man!" He screams.
I feel so bad. He's right though. Everyone's been going to him for comfort but he's been going to no one. I mean Les is human too.
"Leslie come here." I say.
I wish I could have just gone over to him but I can't walk. He comes over to me and I give him the biggest and longest hug ever as he cries into my shoulder.
End of Flashback
Lin speaking
I was trying to figure out what to do with the show, at the same time I'm trying to help Ant, and I was also grieving the loss of my son Leo, and also wondering if Jas was alright and if Ariana was alright. My head was spinning. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I made a decision. I was gonna cancel the show temporarily until we could get everything sorted out 'cause it was way to much for not just me but the whole cast. It's my dream to create a Broadway show and star in it but it's a nightmare to have to go through this in the process. None of us were okay physically or mentally. Just couldn't do it.
