Easton sat on his bed looking watching the pills sit on his dresser. It had been two months since Kevin died. He didn't know what to expect. No one did. Easton had been off and on mood swings. He had been quiet still.

Easton got up off of his bed and popped the top off. He took the bottle and dumped all the pills into his mouth then took a drink and swallowed them. Not worrying about the outcome.

Easton started to feel dizzy, then he fell to the ground and hit his head. He didn't think about what he had done. No one knew. No one was home. Mallory was finding her dress for graduation. Erin had taken the boys to Kim's for a play date and Jay was with Mouse and his twins finding a new rifle as Easton's present.

Jay walked into the sporting goods store and looked around. Mouse followed in with the stroller and his two boys. They had turn two in February.

"What does he like? I mean what rifle are you getting him?" Mouse asked

"I I don't know. I want to take him hunting." Jay said walking towards the rifles and handgun.

Mallory opened the doors to the house and threw her bag down then walked into the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle of water then made a sandwich.

She was wondering why it was so quiet, she didn't want to bother Easton so she just went into her room. She laid down in her bed reading her facebook. In just a few weeks she and Easton would be graduating. She was excited but she also didn't know what she wanted to do when she got out of college. She had gotten into the college of her dreams.

Mallory opened up her door and walked out. She heard her mom and walked into the living room to hug her.

"Hey Mom." Erin hugged her daughter then put her son down. Levi went running towards his playroom.

"Where's your brother?" Erin asked grabbing the bottle of water.

"I don't know. I think he's out somewhere's." It was quiet for the next few minutes after they realized Easton's truck was here. Mallory ran towards his room and opened the door. He didn't lock it but when she saw what was on the other side she couldn't speak.

"Mo-" She said before falling down to the ground and trying to get him awake. She noticed the bottle of pills lying on the ground next to him and immediately started crying.

"C'mon East. Wake up." Mallory said

Erin ran to the room and stood there frozen. She didn't know what to say or do. She froze. She took her phone out of her pocket and called 911.


"Easton, stay with me." Mallory said one last time before hopping into the ambulance. Erin said she'd follow them. Mallory had tears streaming down her face. She squeezed his hand holding it tight.

"I need you to stay awake East.."

"I need you to wake up because you are going to be the best uncle in the world.. I'm pregnant East." Mallory said softly into his ear.

The ambulance stopped and she hopped out. She ran inside to see her family standing there. She ran towards her dad and engufled him in a hug.

"Dad, I I don't know what happened?" There were monitors beeping. Will was in the room working on him. There wasn't much to do but wait and see if he'd wake up.

"I I don't know either Mal. It's not your fault. He misses Kevin. I know he does." Erin walked towards them and joined in the hug.

"Jay did you tell him?" Carlie asked

Jay turned around to see his sister. "I i was planning on it." Carlie walked closer and slapped him in the face. Jay stepped back shocked.

"Jay he deserves to know. You need to tell him." Mallory stood there confused. She didn't know what anyone was talking about.
