sage waited for troye to arrive at the restaurant for breakfast, but he had been ignoring her calls. an hour passed the worry started to make her stomach feel sick, or maybe it was just the nausea. she was worried about her brother because he never ignored her calls even if they were mad at each other.

paying the bill, she rushes to her car dialing troye's number again. she was starting to get frustrated by the annoying beeping sound his answering machine picking up.

"tro, call me. i'm worried about you, where are you?" she says hanging up then sped down the street to her brothers apartment, fear and worry seeping into her bones and making her heart pound against her rib cage.

be safe, be safe, be okay. she told herself, squeezing the steering wheel. she speeds faster down the road, not caring about speed limits, all she cared about was her brother being safe.

when she arrived at his building she didn't hesitate to run out of the car and up the stairs to his floor. she pounded on his door, receiving no answer, troye was here though because his car was outside.

sage twist the knob to his door, it opens and sage can feel her stomach drop.

troye laid in the middle of the floor near the bedroom, a shattered bottle of alcohol in front of him. sage gulped down the fear in her chest, walking towards his limp body. he wasn't moving.

or breathing.

sage beings to panic rushing over to him, he showed no sign of life, his skin paler than usually. sage couldn't hold back the sobs that emitted from her lips holding her brother as she dialed 911.

she couldn't leave him die, he wasn't going to die.

"yes please send help m-my b-brother isn't b-breathing. i-i think h-he's dead," sage cries to the woman that had picked up. troye laid in her arms his body cold and lifeless. "he can't die."

paramedics pulled troye away from sage when they arrived, sage refusing to let go of him.

"don't leave me! i swear to fucking god if leave me!" she sobs unable to finish her words, the tears stopping her from being able to.

sage held onto troye the whole way to the hospital, never letting go of him as the paramedics took vitals and attempted to keep him alive and breathing.

melody felt her body go numb when she got the call from a sobbing sage. she couldn't think nor feel anything. she wanted to cry but her mind was too cluttered to let the tears go.

jacob had finally came home this morning, a frown on his lips. when he saw melody intently staring at the bowl of cereal in from of her the frown grew.

"pumpkin what's wrong?" he questions rubbing her back. melody finally left the tears go, unable to hold them back as she felt jacob pull her into a hug.

"t-troye h-h-he o-overdosed,"

jacob's body went rigid, the air knocked out of his lungs. he held back the tears that wanted to fall, hiding the truth from his sister still.

"i-it's my fault," she sobs harder, pulling away from jacob and crumbling to the floor. "i did this."

"no you didn't. now up let's go see him." jacob says his voice lacking any emotion. he couldn't show his sister he cared for a man she believed he didn't know.
