Boys of Apartment 5

Chapter 97

Kerstynn's pov

"Hey LA!" I shouted out to the crowd.

"I hope you're going to have a good night because this is our 2nd to last show!" The crowd cheered.

"Alright so instead of my on for 30 minutes and R5 on for an hour and a half how would you like it if we had a full 2 hour set?" I asked and received the loudest reply ever.

"Well that's settled let's have some fun!" I shouted before R5 ran on stage.

"How's it going?" Riker asked the crowd.

"Good." the crowd replied. As they did I looked back to see the girls and Luke backstage and I smiled at them.

"So what song are we going to be playing first?" Rocky came up to me and asked.

"Let It Go." I whispered back and he nodded and mouthed it to Rydel and Ratliff. Ross and Riker already knew.

"We're going to do a cover of a certain song from one of Kerstynn's favorite movies so this is "Let It Go"."

(not writing all the lyrics out so the chapter is longer.)

"The cold never bothered me anyway." I sang the last line before one of the stage managers came on stage and said we needed an emergency intermission.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Halfway through 'let it go' we had to rush someone to the hospital and you need to get there with 4 other people ASAP." they said to me and I automatically knew who it was and what for and started crying before finding Brooke, Nicole, Allie, and Lucy backstage waiting.

"We need to go, Kerstynn. She fainted after she puked up some blood and Stormie called 991 because Luke caught all of the blood he could in his shirt so it didn't land on Delilah's favorite outfit." Brooke told me before Nicole had to help me even stand up because I was shaking and crying so bad.

"Kerstynn it's going to be okay." Nicole said and I pushed away from her.

"How are you so sure it will be okay Nicole? Remember what happen when you said it would be okay? I went on tour and Delly ends up with brain cancer!" I shouted before R5 came up to us.

"Is everything okay , Kerstynn? " Ratliff asked.

"No it's not guys and I hate cutting this short but I need to go." I said before running out the door of the venue as the girls followed me.

~~~~~~~~~

Ashton, Michael, and Calum were waiting outside the building with Brooke's kids and Aubry.

"I think Kerstynn should go in with Lucy. I think the rest of us should go home." Ashton said. Brooke was about to protest before Ashton gave her a look and she immediately shut her mouth.

"Come on Lucy." I said quietly. Lucy grabbed my hand and started singing quietly one of her and Delly's favorite songs, Cool Kids by Echosmith.

We walked through the hallway to the room Ashton told me to go to,101. I looked through the crack of the curtains to see Luke sitting in a chair crying.

"Lucy when we get in there you're going to hear your dad possibly yell and flip things over. If he does you'll have my phone and I want you to call Uncle Ashton to pick you up. Okay?" I asked her before handing her my phone. She nodded and I opened the door where she automatically ran to Delly's bedside.

"Luke." I muttered before looking to Delly who was pale as ever and was on a ventilator. "I'm so Sorry." I said before he pulled me in for a hug were he soaked my uncover shoulder with tears as Lucy sang "Do you wanna build a snowman?" to her twin who she didn't know was brain dead and would never respond. I started crying knowing that this will affect Lucy through her whole life and probably Allie's too.

"I have to explain to Lucy that when the pull the ventilator out of Delly's mouth she's dead." Luke whispered through his tears as I rubbed his back. I starting mumbling lyrics to calm him down.

"Lucy, honey, come here please." Luke said to Lucy. "Lucy I'm going to tell you something and you're going to decide something at the end. Okay?"

She nodded before Luke continued. "You see the tube going through your sister's mouth? That's keeping her heart beating as long as air is flowing through her body. As soon as that is taken out she won't be with us she'll be with your mom. And I'm letting you decide when you want to take the tube out of her so she's not in pain anymore." I stood back trying to hold back tears no longer strong enough to be strong for all 3 of us.

"She won't be in pain anymore?" Lucy asked looking at Delly. Obviously Lucy as comprehended that her sister was hurting bad from a disease. "Yep."

"Then I want her out of pain right now. She doesn't need it. She needs to be with mom in heaven." Lucy said with no tears  but with joy that her sister will no longer be in pain. She was stronger then all of us.

"Do you want me to call the other?" I asked Luke. He looked over to me and shook his head. "Yes since all of them are part of the family too."

I nodded before walking out. Fuck our lives.  We never catch a break.

So I hesitate writing part of this since 7 days ago one of the twins was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and she died 2 hours later after I posted the last chapter so I tried to not cry while writing this. .
