~ THE CALL ~

TW: death of a family member
*translations in comments*

it was pitch black, walker was fast asleep whilst my mind was wide awake with thoughts. usually, i fell asleep quite easily but tonight felt weird, like my body was telling me something. before i could keep my eyes closed for more then 5 seconds i was startled by a vibration coming from my bedside table. i checked to see what it was, an unknown caller? who in their right mind would call me at 1am. i contemplated answering then decided to pick up the phone. i walked over to the balcony before answering the call as to not wake up walker.
"hello?" i whisper into my phone, although i couldn't sleep i sounded pretty tired.
"hello is this y/n l/n?" the voice asks, i can hear loud voices and monitors through the phone.
"uh yes this is she" i reply, rubbing my eyes nervously.
"i'm so sorry to inform you of this but your grandfather Alejandro l/n has just passed from a heart attack" the woman says. in that moment my stomach dropped, my eyes blurred and my mouth became dry. "what?" i stutter in disbelief. "i'm so sorry miss l/n we send you our condolences" she says before hanging up. my legs give in as i drop to the ground, sliding my back down against the glass door.

he can't be dead.
he just can't be.

"y/n open the fucking door" i wake up to the sound of banging and the voices of my 3 best friends. i groan, shit, i fell asleep on the balcony. "y/n we're not kidding unlock this door now" walker says angrily. i must have accidentally locked it when i fell on the floor. "i'm sorry" i manage to get out as i stay frozen in place, old tears stained my cheeks as new warm tears fall down my face. "cmon please y/n it's freezing outside" Ariana pleads. sudden guilt runs through my body as i manage to tilt my head up to see the three standing behind the balcony door with frightened and stressed out looks on their faces. "i.." i start before my eyes blur and close, causing my head to fall back down on the cold marble. "y/n? please" jacob says, rattling the doorknob. "go away" i groan.

my grandfather and i had always been close, he'd always look after me and malachi as kids. when my mum and dad where in court, he'd always protect me and keep me safe. i could tell that he was trying his best to shield me from my parents arguments and divorce troubles but i still found out.

you could say he was my best friend.

i woke up in the comfort of my hotel bed with walker laying next to me, his arms were around my waist holding me close. "walker" i whisper, trying to get out of his arms. "mhm" he mumbles into his pillow. "i cant breath" i manage to say in one breath. my airways felt like they were closing in and my body was shaking. walker felt my body shaking and quickly let go. "hey hey it's okay" he says, sitting up against the headboard whilst holding my hand. he drew hearts and circles on my palm as he guided my breathing. "what happened y/n?" he asks cautiously. "nothing" i reply just above a whisper. "cmon y/n it's not nothing" walker nags, cupping my face. "leave me alone" i mutter, i felt bad because walker was only trying to help but i couldn't deal with the pressure. "y/n/n don't shut me out" he pleads. "i said leave me alone" i raise my voice slightly, at this point i couldn't handle it anymore, my mind went blank as i grabbed my phone and walked out in my bike shorts and hoodie. i run down the hallway hearing walker call my name from behind me but just ignore it, i couldn't bare the thought of saying anything else i'd regret.

"y/n?"

"malachi- alej- heart-" i stutter, it was nearly impossible for me to form a full sentence.

"i'm coming now" he cuts me off. i hear him grabbing his car keys and barging out the door.

"go to the lobby i'll be there in 10" he says calmly.

the car ride to malachi's was silent, the occasional glances between us. i felt bad for leaving walker but i just felt like he wouldn't understand so i called Malachi, he's been a family friend and also one of my best friends since we were 3 months old.
"are you hungry? we can go to 7-11 or a drive-through?" he asks as we stop at a red light. he positions his body to face me, waiting for a response. i nod my head. "sour straps?" he asks with a smile. i laugh through small tears and smile, i love mal, he always knew how to cheer me up. "okay stay here" he says, giving me a hug before getting out of his car and locking the door.

"you wanna talk about it?" he asks. right now we were in his bedroom, the microwave popcorn had just come out of the microwave and we was bringing it to me in a bowl. "umm" i start, alejandro was like family to malachi too so i knew this would be hard on him too. he waited patiently for me to continue. "Alejandro is gone" i whisper as i swallow my spit. i couldn't bring myself to say the word 'dead'. i watch as malachi's soft comforting smile faults. "lo siento mal" i whisper as he brings me in for a hug.
