Who Brought Them Together

~Chapter 11~

     Rose's POV:
      
I sit in the leather living room chair. The one that Daddy usually sits in. I hear heavy crying from upstairs. It would have to be mommy; she's the only other one home. I slowly and cautiously get up from my chair and walk up the stairs; skipping a step each time.
     
I turn left into the bathroom, the door slightly creaked open. I look inside, and can hear the bathtub water running. I open the door a bit only to see Mommy laying in the red tinted water; breathing heavily as tears shed from her eyes. I open the door frantically.

"M-mommy!!" I cry, and run over to her. I look into the bathtub. She's still in her clothing; but her sleeves are rolled up. Her forearms have giant wounds; still having blood pouring out from them. My mother looks me straight in the eye sadly, but with almost a sense of relief.
   
"R-Rose...b-baby...." She says; her heavy breathing making it hard to understand. I start panicking.

"M-mommy...w-why are you-"
   She cuts me off immediately.

"M-my pain will be gone soon R-Rose...."
   
"W-what do you mean mommy...."
  
"I-I'm going to be leaving.....f-for awhile...." She tries to sugar coat it, but I can see through the lies.
   
"Y-your gonna die mommy!!!" I exclaim, teary eyed.
  
"I-I know baby....b-but I'll be happier that way...." A tear rolls down her face; she looks at me straight in the eye and takes her last breath.
  
"G-goodbye..."

Zane's POV:

I sit with Nana on my couch; her resting on my lap and my arms wrapped around her. The news station immediatly stops showing the weather; popping up a new screen.
      
"BREAKING NEWS" the speakers blare violently. I see Nana snap out of her day-dream and look towards the tv.
    
"Today, a married couple, Shelby Lopez, and Nathan Lopez, have passed on in two of the most horrible ways." The TV screen shows police sirens and a smashed pick up truck, police tape and all; then a bloody razor sitting on a bathroom floor. The TV keeps chattering on; but I look at Nana.
    
She's looking at the screen in disbelief; as a tear streams down her cheeks. More follow it.
      
"N-nana....?" I ask in a concerned tone.
    
"Z-Zane..." She almost whispers, "m-my parents...." My eyes widen. I think about it a bit.
     
"Y-your parents...."
   
"T-they're g-gone...." She whispers as she starts shaking. As soon as I wrap my arms around her she bursts out into heavy tears.

     KC's POV:
   
No....it can't be real. It can't be. This must be a nightmare. I cry into Zane's arms that wrap around me. There's no way.... I remember something as a wave of guilt crashes over me.
    
Rose. She...she was probably there when....I cry harder. No. No. No. Rose, she's too little and sweet for that, she must have been at daycare or something...or taking a nap.
    
I pray to the God that my dad didn't believe in, pray that Rose didn't see my mom do what she did.
    
Please....please....please.....
