Business With Lust

Chapter 45

⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️
Suicide

Alexander's POV

I park my car outside Diana's house, before getting out and walking to the door.

Its around half seven now, and I'm here to get Diana's phone. Talk about a great boyfriend.

Diana was quite exhausted after I finished...expressing how much I didnt like being teased before a two hour and a fucking half hour meeting.

She fell asleep at my house, and when she woke up a half an hour ago she said she had to go get her phone.

I offered to get it. As fun as it would be to get her to drive while it hurts her to sit down, I decided to be nice and do it for her. Plus I guess I did feel a little bad.

It was very amusing watching her slowly start to panic as the meeting came to an end.

Then when it finally she did, the way she tried to pretend it never happened, and started talking about what we should get for dinner. Her nervous glances at me and her slight stuttering over her words made it pretty easy to tell she was stalling.

She's a brat, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't fucking love it.

Using her key to open the door, I step inside, seeing the kitchen light on. I smile slightly. That means Casey was downstairs at some point today.

Closing the door behind me I head straight for the stairs. She said she left it plugged into the socket by the wall. And that unless the house is on fire, then thats where it'll be.

Reaching the top of the stairs, I head for Diana's room, but freeze when I pass Caseys room.

Inside, the door wide open, stood Casey with his back to me, a gun pointed shakily at his head.

My face goes pale as my heart stops, but I quickly snap out of it.

"Casey" I say as I walk in, and he jumps slightly, turning and staring at me with wide teary eyes.

"Casey.."I whisper, my heart breaking as he looks at me terrified.

"We can talk about this okay? Just put down the gun" I tell him softly, but he shakes his head slowly

"You make her happy. Promise me you'll always be there for her. She wont be alone if I leave" He mumbles, his voice shaky.

"Casey she loves you more than she can ever love me. She needs you, not me. We can go talk to her right now, just put it down" I tell him, taking a very small step towards him.

He shakes his head, taking the gun of safety and pushing it further against the side of his head. "Casey please" I whisper

"We can talk about this. I know you feel like shit right now, and that life wont get better but I promise you Casey, I promise you it will. I know you dont believe me, but please just trust me" I tell him, and he stares at me through teary eyes. I take another tiny step.

"Its too late" He whispers, and I shake my head. "No its not". He looks down. "The pills were taking too long" He mumbles, and I freeze.
