Jared POV
I feel really bad about what I said to Grace. I should go check on her. But it's 8 in the morning. She wouldn't even be awake.
Grace POV
They told me to do it at noon. I want to leave Jared a voicemail first. I call. He actually answers.
"Grace?"
"Jared, I'm making this call to officially let you know that I'm leaving. I've been the happiest with you that I've ever been in my entire life. I'm sorry I was always sad and distant. They told me to."
"Wh-"
"The voices in my head. They scream and cry, but they're telling me what I have to do to make it stop. I just want to tell you to remember me when you hug your beautiful wife. Hold her close. Your children. I love you Jared, but my journey was a lost cause long before you came along."
Oh god. Oh god, she's committing suicide. For real.
"Grace keep talking to me."
"Jared, you're too late. Don't blame yourself. I'll be happy. With my mom. Dad. Elizabeth. Karol. Grandma. Everyone. I love you. I'll be your guardian angel. You'll have one now. Thank you. I love you."
I'm pulling in her driveway. I hear a gunshot. It's over. I drop my phone and run in her house. I run as fast as I can upstairs. I'm yelling for her.
"GRACE!"
I see her slumped down in the floor blood pouring out of her head. Tears still fresh from her eyes. She's laying there. My baby girl. Grace. My beautiful angel, gone. I cradle her and kiss her dead lips one last time. I sob like I've never sobbed before. She was mine. My girl. I left her. It's my fault. Oh my Grace. Oh. I cry. I lay her beautiful head down and I call the ambulance. I know there's nothing they can do, except get her funeral ready. I don't want them to take her. They load her on the stretcher and cover her face. I scream. I beg. I plead. She can't be gone. An EMT is holding me back. I see the medic with tears down her eyes.
"Not another one."
They take her away. My beautiful Grace.
