*Caleb and Macy holding hands*
C: "Macy I hate to say this but.... My mom she's sick.... And I really wanna be there for her but... Then I leave you, and I'm sorry, I'll be back as soon as I can."
*Tear rolls down Macy's face*
M: "It's ok... I uh understand, your mom needs you and I hope she gets better."
*Macy wipes her tears with her sleeve*
C: "Please don't cry Mace, I don't wanna hurt you princess, I..... I love you a lot and it hurts to see you cry."
M: "Caleb.... You need to only be able to help her, I don't want to have you have to worry about me."
*Macy drops her grip from his hands*
M: "Your mom is family, she needs you, I'm just a girl.... I love you Caleb Baker, and that's why we have to say goodbye.... For forever."
Tears are literally streaming down my face and I keep thinking of all the happy times and the look on his face is so sad and I just can't. He pulls me in for a hug and speaks "If that's what you think is best, but I don't know how I'll manage, I love you Mace.... I. I can't say goodbye, I'll see you later."
He hugs me once more and as he opens the door he turns around and his eyes are watery like he's trying to holdback tears.
1 Week Later
I was trying my best not to text Caleb, we had broken up for the best, he had to go back to Pittsburgh, I don't even know how long and... long distance never works... Fuck I really miss him. A couple minutes later I heard my phone ding:
Caleb: I miss you and I'm sorry. My mom is in the hospital right now, this morning she had had a stroke, I don't know what's going on anymore and I... I really miss you princess and I know we broke up for the best but.
I wanted to text back but I couldn't it would just make the pain worse.
{Caleb's POV}
It's been a week and I had gave in to texting Mace, I miss her horribly, I saw she read the text but it's been 2 hours and she never responded. I can't even see my own mom right now only my dad can and I'm just at home staring at my blank phone screen.
My phone starts going off, it's my dad
D: Son your mom.... She...
C: NO NO NO SHE DIDN'T
D: Caleb she's still alive... But she's, she's in a coma.
C: Well CAN I COME SEE HER?!
D: I wish you could son I know, but not even I'm allowed now.
I hung up.
I feel tears start coming down my face and they won't stop. I decided I'd try to call Macy.
*rings 6 times*
"Hey it's Macy, sorry I can't get to the phone right now just leave your name and number and I'll get back you, thanks bye!"
"Mace? Macy I... I figured you... I know you.... Wouldn't answer... But I... I really need you right now I can't do this anymore, I love you too much but I'm just not worth the pain.... I love you Macy Simmons."
I looked to my left, on my night stand, it was my blade. I almost didn't even hesitate to grab it, and I started.
{Macy's POV}
I heard the voicemail Caleb left and I knew he was being serious, I could hear his voice, it as high and I knew he was crying, I knew he wasn't ok at this point. I tried calling him, texting him, tweeting him, everything and nothing, I was worried, what if he tried to commit suicide, I would be the reason.
