Maddie POV
That night I couldn't fall asleep. I'm not sure why but I had a terrible feeling that something was wrong.

Around 2:00am I got one of the worst phone calls of my life. My best friend called saying my cat got really sick and isn't doing well. I know it sounds dumb but he's my baby and as soon as I heard we wasn't doing great I had to go home.

As soon as I got off the phone I quickly pooked a flight then packed a few things knowing I'd come back in a few days. Then once I finished packing I went to Sapnaps room to tell him I'd be leaving in a few hours.

"Sap, can I come in?" I knocked his door

A tired "mhm" is all I got

"Hey I'm sorry to wake you but I just wanted to let you know that I have to fly home, because my cat is really sick I should be back in a few days tho" I explained with a shaky voice.

"I'll come with you" he said sitting up

"No I'll be fine I just wanted to let you know so you guys don't worry when you wake up"

"Maddie not only can I hear the shake in voice but I can physically see your hands shaking, you need someone with you" he said before standing up and packing a bag

"We'll leave a note for the boys, it'll be fine" he continued

"We leave in an hour" I quickly said and went back to my room

(Back in L.A)

"Hey Maddie" my friend Kayla said as I walked into the vet clinic

"Hey, how is he?"

"Not great, he's in that first room, the doctor is waiting for you" she explained

"Okay, thank you" I said before going into the room Kayla had pointed to

"Hey you must be Maddie" the doctor half asked as sapnap and I walked into the room and closed the door behind us

"Is he in pain?" I asked through tears after the vet finished explaining what was wrong with Milo

"Yeah, he is" the vet said in a quiet voice

"Can I have time to think before I make a decision on what to do?"

"Of course but I wouldn't take to long, take an hour and then come back, and I'll make sure my schedule is clear"

"Okay thank you" and with that sap and I took Milo and left the vet

"I need you to tell me what to do, I- I don't- sap please tell me what to do, I can't do this, please help me" I slightly yelled once we were back in my apartment

"I can't tell you what to do"

"He's in pain?"

"Yeah, he is"

"Its not fair to make him suffer"

"No it's not"

"But I don't want to loose him"

"I know"

(Back at the vet)

"I think we" I paused "I think we should put him down"

"Okay, I'll give you a few minutes to say goodbye then I'll come back in" the doctor explained

"Okay thank you"

I hugged Milo and through tears said goodbye to my baby.

I held him tight in my arms afraid to let go. I wasn't ready to loose him. Not yet. With tears constantly falling down my checks I held Milo until his body went limp. I held him for as long as could, refusing to let go. Scared to let go because the second I let go it will be real. As soon as I let go, as soon as I let the doctor take my cat, my baby, it will be real and he will be gone, for good.

"Maddie you gotta let go" sapnap said very quietly

"I can't, please don't make me please, I can't let go"

"Come on maddie, let's go home" he tried to take Milo

"NO! Please don't, don't take him" I cried

The doctor then came in and slowly took Milo from my hands. He was gone. My baby was gone.

Being in that room, I felt like I couldn't breath I felt like I was suffocating. I ran outside in hopes that the fresh air would help but it didn't. I grabbed my chest feeling like I couldn't breath. Tears consistently falling down my cheeks. It had all hit very hard. He was gone, and I felt lost.

I fell to the ground still trying to check my breath, when I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves tightly around my body.

"It's okay Maddie, I got you, just try to breath" Sapnap whispered softly

I think we sat on that ground for almost and hour before I was calm enough and we headed back to my apartment.

The next morning we grabbed milos ashes and brought them back to the apartment then headed to the apartment to put him somewhere safe before we flew back to America.

I decided to go back to Florida as I couldn't stand being in that apartment any longer everything about it reminded me of Milo.
