It Won't be Long Now (sequel to adopted by mullette)

Life Doesn't Discriminate

AN- I'm listening to it's quiet uptown...

Lafayette's POV 

I hiccuped and leaned my head on herc's shoulder. Life hurts, it hurts so fucking much right now. There is nothing I can do and my daughter is dying. What happens if she dies? It's not like I can just go on pretending she never existed. I can't do that. 

Herc's POV ( Help ) 

I looked over at Laf and made an attempt to steady my breathing. This is my fault, I didn't watch to make sure she made it inside. If she dies right now, It'd be my fault.  Just looking at her, laying in the hospital bed, pale and...gone. 

Philip's POV 

I paced back and forth, covering my mouth to quiet my crying noises.  What if she dies? God it should have been me. I've survived a bullet before, I'd be fine. Something tells me she's not going to make it, and trying to ignore that stabbing feeling that it should have been me is hard. So god damn hard...

Harper's POV 

I stared down at the screen, it's sad to see this happening. I'm doing this to everyone. I could either end their suffering, and choose life. Or make everything so much harder and die. It's nice to know they'd miss me...that they aren't happy seeing me like that. All my doubts can be pushed aside. That bullet in my ribs is helping me in a way, but also bringing so much pain. In more ways than one. 

My hand hovered over the death button for a moment, I could have everything I had back...Like life had never happened. Right? 

I switched it to life and slammed my hand down. 

I immediately felt a searing pain in my ribs and in my side. I yelled out in pain and took a deep breath. Suddenly I was surrounded by nurses, I could see my family in the back. Everything is blurry, everything is painful. 

But I'm alive. 

AN- So sorry for the late update!!!! I didn't mean to do that, I got busy because of summer. I'll be on vacation for two weeks soon but I'll try and update!
