Boys of Apartment 5

Chapter 100

****Brooke's POV****

Ashton came home and had an empty expression on his face.

"Ash, what happened?" I asked.

"They took the ventilator out." He said flatly staring off into space.

All the air in my lungs escaped me and I collapsed to the floor in sobs. Ashton came over to me and wrapped me in his arms.

"There was nothing that they could do." He said.

"It's not right, she was so young." I cried.

"Now she's not suffering." Ashton said looking on the bright side.

"Now Lucy won't have a sister and Luke will be one daughter short. Why did this have to happen to Luke, hasn't he gone through enough?" I said.

"Brooke stop thinking like that." Ashton said.

"Mommy? Daddy? Where are you?" We heard Holden, Flynn, and Winnie say coming down the stairs.

"Why are you crying?" Flynn asked us.

"You know how Delilah wasn't feeling good lately?" Ashton asked and they nodded.

"Well now she is up there with Aunty Taylor." I told them.

"Why?" Winnie asked crying.

"She was having trouble with her heart." I said holding Winnie in my arms.

"Now she's in a better place." Ashton said.

"No I want her down here!" Holden said.

"Yeah, bring her back mommy." Flynn said.

"I can't because she's dead!" I snapped and ran up to mine and Ashton's room.

"I hate you mommy, bring her back!" I heard them yell from downstairs.

I'm the worst mother ever, I thought to myself.

****Ashton's POV****

"Guys that wasn't very nice of you to say to your mother. Especially before Mother's Day tomorrow.

"We just want Delilah back." Winnie said.

"Well she going to be away for a long time." I told them.

"When will be see her again?" Holden asked.

"When hopefully you are much older than me right now." I said.

"Should we go and say sorry." They asked.

"Let me go up there first then when I say so come in." I told them.

I knocked on our bedroom door and Brooke said, "Go away."

"Brooke the kids didn't mean to say they hate you." I told her.

"Of course they did." She said.

"Brooke, they are just upset that's all." I said.

"Why did this have to happen to Delilah?" She asked.

"I don't know. God must of had other plans." I tell he and kiss the top of her head.

"We should probably go to see Luke and Kerstynn." Brooke said.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" I asked her.

"Yeah we will have to see them eventually." She said.

"Guys come on in." I yelled and Winnie, Holden, and Flynn came in.

"Mommy we are so sorry." Winnie said climbing up onto our bed and so did Holden and Flynn.

It was nice in this time to have our family all together cuddling in bed.
