Chris' POV

I was released from the hospital last night when they realized I was perfectly healthy, besides my minor headaches.

I knew it was gonna happen eventually, but I feel bad for how I treated Kairo. Maybe I was too harsh? She let her emotions control her, and even though it doesn't completely justify what she did, I still can't blame her entirely.

I picked up my phone and went to my contacts. I scrolled down to Kairo's name, which was still 'My Everything❤' despite everything that happened.

I love her with everything in me, and nothing can change that. My emotions only made me think that I hated her. Truth is, I never could hate her. I love that girl more than life itself.

My thumb hovered over the 'call' button as I contemplated on doing it or not.

I let out a breath as I finally tapped the button, my heart pounding rapidly as I listened to the ringing.

After 30 seconds, her voicemail picked up. I tried a few more times and the same thing happened. I threw my phone down, sighing then plopping down on my bed.

I stared at the ceiling in silence as I thought about any and everything.

I was deep in my thoughts when my phone abruptly interrupted them. I sprang up and grabbed my phone, answering it quickly in hopes of it being Kairo.

"Hello??" I panted out.

"Chris!!!" a voice screamed, then broke down into loud sobs.

I didn't know who it was, but I knew it wasn't Kairo.

"Hello? Who's this?" I asked confused.

"K-Kiana...." she said lowly.

"Kiana? What's wrong?"

"......K-K-Kairo.." she sobbed.

I began to panic when I heard her name.

"What Kiana!? What about Kairo!?"

"SHE'S DEAD CHRIS!! THEY FOUND HER BODY EARLIER!!" she yelled, "She killed herself..... she's really g-gone...." she broke down into loud sobs.

"W-wait.... what?" I whispered to myself.

The room started to spin as the phone dropped from my hand. Everything was red and moving quickly even though I was completely still.

It felt as if the entire world stopped. There was a dead silence beside the steady, but rapidly increasing, 'thumps' of my heart beating loudly in my chest.

If you listened close enough, I'm pretty sure you could hear my heart breaking, as if I'm made of glass.

My thoughts were clouded. I could barely breathe. I felt like I was in some kind of psychotic fun house.

I can't believe it.....

Kairo's really dead......
