Never Expected (a Chandler Riggs/Grayson Riggs fanfic)

A Tough Choice (Part 4)

28 minutes later...
We had finally arrived home, the four of us Grayson, Chandler, Hana and I were down in the basement and the three of them were looking at me for an explanation, but I didn't give them one. At least not yet.
"What happened when you died?" Grayson asked.
"I spoke with Jesus and he showed me what would happen if I make my decision l, even if it was the right one. And now I'm thinking of taking the third option I just thought of."
"What's that?" Chandler questioned.
"Live on the streets."
"That's preposterous." Hana stated.
"Whatever your first option was, STICK TO THAT ONE." Grayson said. "Don't go live on the streets. What if...what if it was your daughter or son that was the loved one who died and you never attended his or her funeral. I'm pretty sure that Kaden and Alice would be devastated if you weren't there. And I'm pretty sure that it would haunt you for the rest of your life. The same goes for whoever dies."
After Grayson finished talking I had to hide my face and just let my tears flow.
"I need to find a way to prevent the death of my son, but how? The vision that Jesus showed me looked like there was no stopping him. There just has to be a way to stop it. He doesn't deserve to die. He still has a long time ahead of him. He deserves to live the life he wants to live. If he dies, Alice will be lost without Kaden. She looks up to him like he's her big brother, even though they're twins. She relies on him to protect her and to be there for her when she really needs it. A fathers love isn't as strong as a brothers love. Which is why I have to do anything and everything to prevent Kaden from dying." I said to myself.
"Is everything all right Daniel?" Hana asked.
I just shook my head as my reply.
"Is it ok if I ask who the loved one is that might die?" Hana wondered.
"It's...It's my son...Kaden." I answered, sorrowfully.
Everyone in the basement was now utterly speechless. No one could find the right thing to say, not even me.

30 minutes later...
I had just realized that, Kaden may die today, Jesus just showed me the time of day and where it would happen. What Jesus had showed me was that Kaden wasn't going to get murdered, he was going to commit suicide. Plus I only caught a glimpse of the day it was happening. It was happening, on September 29, which was tomorrow.
Just thinking about this was practically breaking my heart and it was making me cry now more than ever. I just headed up to Grayson's room, hopped onto his bed, and just cried into my pillow.

Grayson's POV
-30 minutes later-
I had just arrived outside the door to my bedroom, I knocked on the door and then entered.
"Daniel? Are you all right?"
"Grayson, go away, please."
I walked up to my bed and then I placed a hand on one of Daniel's shoulders. He then lifted up his head and turned his body so he was looking at me.
"Daniel, come on. Tell me, what's the matter? If it helps I could go and get Chandler and Hana."
"Uh, yeah. Sure. Whatever."
"What's gotten into you? Why are you acting like such a jerk?"
"Sorry. I'm just really worried, that's all."
"So, should I go and get the others?"
"Yeah, I think they deserve to hear this as well."
"All right, I'll be right back."

-2 minutes later-
I had just returned to my room with the others and as soon as we entered we walked up to Daniel.
"So Daniel, are you ready."
"Yeah..."

Daniel's POV
I took a deep breath, sighed and then said, "I know who's going to die."
"Who is it? Is it one of us?"
"No. It's...It's my son...Kaden. And it's going to happen tomorrow."
"What? Oh my God...Daniel, why didn't you just tell us? It would've been so much more easier. If you just told us." Hana voiced.
"I know, I just wasn't sure on how to tell you. I know that you're my friends and whatnot, but...I wasn't sure how you would take it." I replied. "And I even know how he's going to die, which is why I have to try to prevent it from happening. He's going to take his own life and he's going to do it at school."
"Starting today, I'm leaving. I'm going to see if I can talk Kaden out of it." I added.
"You should, he still has a good long time to live." Chandler stated.
"I know. I'll sure miss living here, but I'll drop by for a visit sometime."
"Please do." Grayson said.
"I'll be leaving my Xbox one here, so if you guys want to play on it, go right ahead. Have fun. Enjoy yourself."
"Thanks Daniel." Chandler spoke.
"No. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality."
"It was our pleasure." Grayson exclaimed.
"Until we meet again."
"Until we meet again." Everyone repeated.
