Broken

Ch. 27 Gone

Ari's POV

I was on the plane shaking uncontrollably, I couldn't breathe. It felt like my whole world was falling apart. This was not in Bella's plan, she was supposed to grow up with a semi decent life. I would do anything to switch places with her right now. This isn't fair, she deserved to live a happy full life.

The intercom came on, "We will be landing in Hampton Virginia in just a few minutes. Please faster your seat belts and do not get up during our descent." He said. I needed Wes, I can't do this without him. Once we hit the ground I got up off the plane and walked quickly out of it. I pulled out my phone and went to call Wes when I saw him standing on the other side of baggage claim.

I walked quickly towards him, he turned and saw me and walked towards me. He wrapped his arms around me protectively and I sobbed into his shoulder. He stroked my head and held me close. "Drew is here," he said into my ear. Drew...Bella is Drew's everything he's going to be heartbroken...

I let go of Wes and he wiped the tears from my eyes, I noticed his eyes were red and puffy. "Come on we need to get to the hospital," I said trying to compose myself a bit. Wes grabbed his bag and Drew and Keaton followed us to a cab. Drew was staring at his shoes and not saying a word to anyone.

We got in the taxi and headed towards the hospital, as we got closer it felt like the air was getting thinner. When we got there Drew and Keaton hopped out of the car and as I got out my legs felt wobbly and I felt dizzy. I clutched on to the side of the car and shut my eyes tight.

"Babe, babe are you okay? Hey, listen to me. You have to breathe, just focus on my voice and breathe." He said putting his hands on my waist. I focused on his voice and I could breathe again, I opened my eyes looking up at Wes. I shook my head and he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

We headed into the hospital and walked to the front desk. I saw my Aunt in the waiting room so I walked towards her quickly. She was sitting in the chair with her face in her hands. "Aunt Carol," I said kneeling down in front of her and pulling her hands away from her face.

"Where is Bella?" I asked trying to sound as calm as possible. She just shook her head left and right, "No, no, no," she said sobbing. "What do you mean no?" I said. "I'm so sorry Ari...S-she didn't make it.." she said shaking. "No, no, don't say that to me." I said getting up and backing away from her.

"DON'T SAY THAT TO ME!" I screamed punching the wall as hard as I could. Wes ran over to me and pulled me away from the wall. "NO! THIS ISN'T FAIR, SHE'S TOO YOUNG! SHE DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS, IT CAN'T BE TRUE! NO!" I shouted thrashing against Wes's chest.

Wes's POV

I held Ari in my arms stroking her hair and trying to calm her down. "Arielle, they are going to be moving the body so if you want to say your goodbyes you need to come now," the nurse said. She pulled away from me and took deep breaths in and out, walking towards the room.

She walked to Drew who was sitting in a chair with his face in his hands. She grabbed his hand and pulled him off of the chair, I walked over and grabbed her other hand. Keaton came and grabbed my other hand and we walked towards the room.
