Reject //ON HOLD

16. Caroline

Brin's POV

I was strolling down the street waiting for Caroline's text back.

I whistle as I walk up the stairs in the building.

I reach the top and notice that someone else is here too.

I would noticed that beach blonde hair anywhere.

"Caroline?" I call out.

I notice shes at the edge.

She has always had a tough life. Why would she end it though? She never loses a battle.

"Caroline, step back. Don't do this" I cry.

She looks back at me and turns around. Her pale face is tattooed with tears.

I reach my hand out but I'm too late.

"CAROLINE"

"BRINLEY"

I'm snapped out of my horrible thoughts.

"What? Is it my turn" I ask still trying to recover from my past memories.

They nod.

"Uhm. Ella, truth or dare?" I say.

She thinks. "Truth"

"Boo" Luke pouts.

"Hmmm. Who is your celeb crush" I wiggle my eyebrows.

"Oh, girl. Definitely Chris Pratt. Have you seen Jurassic World?" She laughs as we join her.

The rest of the night was filled with alcohol, sexual content, and randomness.

I sit in my room staring out my window hoping to see Caroline sneak in like she always did.

Hoping to see the pack of cigarettes poking out of her back pocket.

Hoping to see the girl that was my best friend alongside Calum, Michael, and Lucas.

"Brinley?"

I look over and see Ella.

"Hey El" I fake smile.

"What's up. During the game you were a bit sad" She frowns sitting by me.

"I had this friend and she committed suicide. I was thinking about her during the game for some reason" I sigh.

She looks down.

"I know how it feels. I had a friend named Caroline who committed suicide"

I look at her.

"Caroline McKinney?" I ask her.

She looks at me crazily.

"Yeah how did you- No" She gasps.

My jaw drops.

Caroline always told me about a girl she met at the mall.

I guess that was Ella.

"Maybe she brought us together" I sadly smile.

She nods.

"She always used to say-"

"Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same" I join in with her.

We laugh slightly.

My face drops when I see Ella's arm.

I try to keep a happy face but if you can't fake a smile what's the use in trying.

"Ella, what is this" I say quickly flipping over her arm revealing the scars that go up and down her arm.

She was silent.

Silence Is the most powerful scream. Caroline always used to say that too.

I turn over my arm and she gasps, her eyes widening.

"I had it worse Ella, I was there when Caroline jumped, and being the loser in school Didn't help either" I shake my head.

She hugs me and I hug back.

"We'll get through this together"

"It's what Caroline would want"

OMFG.
