Chasing Your Dreams

Long Chapter.... Again!!

Jason's pov

Britt and the girls cried for a while. Kendyl cried herself to sleep. I'm too pissed to cry. I'm sure it'll hit me soon. I shakily stomp down to the building I know those shits work at. I kick the door in furious. "If you've got a beef fill out the online complaint form." "Fuck your online form." I whisper, stomping passed the receptionist. I kick open the door. "How the fuck! Those were locked!" The receptionist gapes shocked. I ignore him and walk into the room. Instantly locating the bastard, I walk over and grab him by the shirt. "If you come anywhere near my daughter again, you're gonna wish you were never born!" He pulls free. "It's business, man, I'm a reporter. We get the scoop on celebrities." "I don't give a damn. Your fuckin' stunt at the bar coulda quite possibly killed her." "What?" "She's brain dead from falling down the stairs!" "Which hospital?" "Like I'm gonna fuckin' tell you, bastard. Stay away or I'll have you gone." I stomp out and pull out my pistol. "And you better not be followin' me!" "Shit."

Cole's pov

I'm so scared. What do I do? I can't live without my girl. Jason walks through the door. "How's the girls?" "Upset." "I don't know what to do, Jason. I've prayed and I've prayed but nothing is improving." "Cole you can't expect an instantaneous miracle. Her mom from Mississippi really wants to come but she's got no one to watch the youngins since her stepdad works." "What about Sean?" "Oh great idea!" I walk down to Sean's apartment and knock on the door. No reply. I open the door and  knife is hurled at my head. "What.... What are you doing here?" "What the hell are you doing?" He started sharpening a different knife. "I'm going to kill them." "Jeez. Ok kid the first time was justified but you're really starting to freak me out, we're talking about murdering reporters here. That's jail time!" "It'll be worth it. You don't know how my brain works and it's best you don't try to figure it out." "What is up with you?" "I've got autism but it doesn't stop me from protecting her. If anything it helps. It makes me more determined." "You can't plan murder." "Shut up." What the fuck?! "Anyway I came down here to ask if you could go home so your mom can come see Miranda. She's got no one to watch the kids." "If you care so much, why don't you?!" Ok maybe Mike was right this kid has some real problems. "I've already threatened them." "Threats are just empty promises." He whispers walking out.

Cole's pov

Jason comes back looking shocked. "Um.... Her brother is psychotic. He's planning murder, man!" What the hell?! "He'll do anything for his little sister. I'll give him that." Jason whispers. I squeeze her hand. "I think she's the only one who can snap him out of it." He says.

Sean's pov

I was about to go when mom called. "Please Sean I don't know what'll happen and I really wanna see my baby girl." "Ugh fine." Revenge can wait. I head back to Oxford.

Jason's pov

I'm caught off guard when her mom shows up. I was about to ask when I got a text. From Sean.

S: revenge can wait. You better keep your mouth shut.

J: stop this, kid. It's stupid and dangerous! There's always gonna be paparazzi!

S: they hurt my sister. They will pay.

J: no. You've got a great future ahead of yourself. With your saxophone skills and singing talent you could be right up there with your sister.

S: I don't care about me. She needed me and I wasn't there!

J: What do you mean? You can't be there every second!

S: You wouldn't understand. You weren't there growing up.... The violence... the abuse. You'll never understand.

J: shit kid then tell me what you need to tell me to help me understand! God dammit, get revenge out of your damned head!

I don't get a reply after that. I glance down at my daughter. I have to help this boy. She cares about him. I have to stop him from ruining his own life! "I gotta go. But call me if anything changes."

*later*

I finally make it back there. Instantly the kids run over. "Hey guys." Sean looks suspicious. "What.... Time for bed kids." They head to their rooms. "What are you doing here?" "To check on you." "I'm fine." "What the fuck were you talking about?" "None of your damn business." "It is my business. Did that shithead beat my daughter?" He glares back at me enraged. "No. He beat me in place of her. I wouldn't let him near her. I taunted him so he'd come after me instead. He never had a chance to harm her and she blamed herself since then." There's a lot I don't know about my own daughter. I shake the thought. "Sean please don't go after the paparazzi. You won't win. It'll only end in death or life in prison." "If you tell me what to do one more God damned time, I'm going to snap. So shut the fuck up and leave me alone!" I shakily back up. "Just watch your back kid." "Stop calling me kid." I'm kinda worried about the kids. "Hey how about I take the kids off your hands and you go to the hospital?" "I thought you think I'm crazy?" "We're all crazy." I say, nervously. I know the staff can stop him if they need to. If he tried anything.

*a couple months later*

Somehow I've distracted that boy every time he's attempted to go after that crazy murder spree. But I'm running out of options. Brittany and I are going to the hospital they're gonna c-section the baby. "Is Miranda dead?" Kendyl asks, tugging on my sleeve. I fight back the tears. "I don't know baby girl." Brittany starts crying and I hug her. "They're gonna induce labor after Miranda's baby is successfully out. We get to the hospital and Cole is there. His facial hair grown out. I'm sure he hasn't left this room once. Sean's here too, his hands in tight fists, making my hands tense up with worry and fear. That kid scares the pants off me.

*later*

Cole holds their son Alex. He was crying hard while holding her hand and begging for her to wake up. I walk back to Britt's room. "It's pretty ironic they're gonna induce labor on your birthday Britt." She stares at the bed. "The only present I want is my daughter to wake up." I fight back crying and hug her. "Ok ma'am. You'll feel a slight pressure." I just realized this is Britt's first time having a baby! I hold her hand. "You ready?" She asks. I shakily nod. They induce labor and her hand clamps tight around mine.

*later*

My wife gave birth to a son. We named him Steven. It kills me he'll never get to know his wonderful sister. I walked out of the hospital for a breather. There was a girl crying on a bench. "You alright ma'am?" She's a little bit younger than Miranda. "Oh um I'm uh... I'm a fan of your daughter's. It just stinks what's happening." While I'm talking to the girl Sean walks out. "Don't you dare!" I know what he's doing. "Fuck off!" He yells. "Whoa who's that?" I walk after him. "Stop this. They're pulling the plug today. Don't ya wanna be there?!" "To see my baby sister take her last breaths. I don't think so!" I grab his shoulder. He spins around. "Ok I know what you've been doing the last few weeks, it isn't gonna work anymore." I grab his arms. "You aren't killing those people." He starts to cry. "But they get away with causing my sister's death." "Come on, ki- Sean." We walk back to her room. Brittany held Steven while Cole held Alex. There wasn't a dry eye in the place. Even the doctor was crying. "I'm sorry." He whispers, turning off her ventilator. Seconds later, she stops breathing. I cover my eyes and wrap an arm around Brittany as she sobs uncontrollably. I could hear Sean about to walk out. I grabbed his wrist. He tried to pull free when everyone stopped moving as she started breathing on her own.
