Collins's POV

I can't believe they're actually dead. Fuck. How will Holland react to her own parents death? I grabbed my hair and pulled on it.

"Locks, what. HOW do I tell her?" I looked at Kevin.

"Collin, I don't know honestly" he rested his chine on his knuckles.

"Why did you even call me?"

"Because, I don't have the balls to tell Holland that her parents are dead"

"Oh! So I do" I threw my hands up. Kevin sighed.

"Dismiss her, Kevin" I rubbed my temples as I got up and grabbed my book bag

Kevin nodded and stood up next to the microphone "please dismiss Holland Grace, thank you"

I got the papers, gave him a soft smile, then left to Hollands math class.

"Before I go get Holland" I whispered as I took out my phone and dialed her mom.

Someone picked up after three rings.

"Hello?" A voice said from the other line.

"Who's this?" I said in a low voice.

"Officer Ken. Who's this?"

"Listen, I'm the boyfriend of the daughter whose parents are dead. I need to know what hospital are they located in and if I can go now" I bit my bottom lip.

"I'm so sorry. They are located at Metro Central Hospital, and you can come now. Although, since there was no heartbeat, they are put in a cold room right now" I sighed.

"I'll make sure to bring a jacket. Thank you" I hung up and made my way to Hollands math class.

"Hey! I've been waiting for you for ages" she walked towards me and hugged me.

"How did you know I was going to come and get you? I looked down at her and smiled.

"Because you always do" she tiptoed and kissed my cheek.

I smirked "come on" I grabbed her hand and took her to my car.

-------------------

"Remind me why we are at a hospital again? This is scaring me" I'm sorry...

I walked over to the front desk.

"I'm looking for Officer Ken" the lady pointed to a room that said 'Morgue'

"Come on Holly" I grabbed her by the hand and took her to the room. When I opened the door, I saw Ken sitting in a stool, and two dead bodies covered in a white sheet and few inches from him.

"Why are we here Collin?" Holland whispered.

"Is this Holland Grace?" Ken spoke up.

"Collin" she tugged on my hand. I turned to her and grabbed her face.

"I'm so sorry" I saw as tears ran through her cheeks.

"Wh- why" she was shaking.

Ken stood up and removed the covers from her parents. Holland turned around and let out a faint scream

"Mom! Dad!" She ran up to their lifeless bodies and hugged them. She pulled away and took her moms hair and out it behind her ear.

"Mommy" she said in a whisper. She turned around and saw her dad.

"Daddy" she sniffed.

Ken got up and left.

Holland came running towards me and started punching my stomach.

"They're fucking dead!" She shouted. "My parents are dead!!" Every time she said those words louder, she hit me harder. I grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her.

"Holland!" I shouted. Her body stayed still as more tears ran through her face.

She came at me hard and hugged me tight. I took her in and pushed her head closer to my chest with my hand.

"My parents..." She said in a cry.

"it's going to be okay" I whispered in her ear as tears fell out of my eyes.

"They're dead" she buried her face in my chest and cried even more.

I kept passing my hand over her head. Minutes later she had toned her voice down.

She pulled away and dried her tears.

"I want to leave Collin" I nodded. She went to their bodies one last time and covered them with the white sheet.

"I'll see you soon mom and dad" I could hear her voice breaking.

"Let's go" she came towards me and hugged me tight.

------------------

"Do you want something to eat?" I asked before starting the car.

"No" she said in a whisper.

I nodded and drove to her house. The rest of the car ride was silent.

"Collin?" she sniffed.

"Yeah?" I said as I grabbed her face.

"Don't leave me, ever" tears filled her eyes.

I took her in for a hug "that would never pass my mind, Holly. Let's go to your room" she nodded as we went up the stairs.

"I just want to go to sleep" she said as she took off her clothes and put on her pajamas.

She got on the bed and curled into a ball. I threw a blanket over her body and kissed her forehead before leaving.

"Don't leave" she said.

"I'm going to be in the living room babe" I walked to her "let it all out" I passed my hand on her head and kissed her forehead.

"I love you so much Holland" she smiled. I walked out and left the door open just in case she needed me.

Believe it or not, I was about to cry when I was writing the scene where she saw her parents bodies. I'm sorry I made it sad, but that's just how I wanted my story to go.
