*Carly's POV*
Was dad okay? Is he really dead? Too many thoughts overcrowded me, and I was ready to burst. Mom was still kneeling in front of us. She bit her lip, looked down at the ground, and I watched tears fall from her eyes.
"Mom, it can't be true!" Madelyn exclaimed, leaning down by mom. She looked back up at Maddie, her lip quivering, and nodded, an almost unheard whisper coming from her,
"It's true, Adam's gone."
I couldn't take it, I broke down crying. Jason and Ashley were crying in each others shoulders. Why did dad have to kill himself? Too much sadness was in this family right now. Mom was against the wall, head down on her knees, and she sobbed. We sat beside her, and put our arms around her shoulders.
Dad knew he had us, and even mom. They could've worked this out, but sadly, they didn't. Jason and Ashley came over by us, and we all sat together. Everything was silent now, none of us had anymore tears, except mom. Hers just kept coming, and Jason held her in his arms. Ashley held us together, and I felt so lost. This family has been torn apart.
