"Don't let go of my hand through this, please."

His heart thunders against his chest as he reaches down off the cliff, desperately trying to keep his hand in his, don't let go, don't let go his mind tells him. "I'm sorry."

"Don't you do this to me! Don't you dare!"

He doesn't know what he'd do if he lost him, he'd never love again and would forever regret that he couldn't help him more. He has always been there but he wasn't enough.

"I'm so sorry. I love you with everything I am, please don't forget me," Ambrose begs and lets go of Jax's hand, he falls hundreds of feet down to the bottom of the cliff, Jax looks away with a scream when he hears that distant sickening crunch.

"AMBROSE!"

"Babe? I'm home."

He walks further into the house in search of his husband, he had been eager to get home all day so he could see his face and now that he was home Jax didn't seem to be here. "Babe?"

He searches the whole house, but Jax was nowhere to be seen, he decides to go out to the garage and see if Jax's car was in the garage. Maybe he went for a drive and thought he'd be back in time? He went past the line of cars, his white Aston Martin, Rhea's blue Ferrari, Gemini's black Maserati...and then he sees Jax's red Dodge and is relieved when he sees Jax's head. With a smile, he makes his way to the driver's side of the window only to freeze in horror. Jax doesn't notice him standing there because he is too busy breaking Ambrose's heart by making out with another guy. Instead of confronting him like Rhea or Gemini would do he chose to take the cowardly way out and run, in a mad rush of emotions he hops into his Aston Martin and peels out of the garage, vaguely seeing Jax's head snap up in the backseat of his car, but he ignores it and keeps going. He could barely see through his tears, but his mind was clear enough to know exactly what he was doing, he isn't surprised when the water breaks the glass of his car and fills his lungs, he struggles in the water but eventually succumbs to the frigid nothingness that death offers.

Above the surface Jaxin rushes towards the water and drops to his knees crying realizing what he did, water flooded his body and brings it up to the surface, even though his heart stopped beating and he is no longer alive he can still hear his former husband's deafening scream.
