Faith's PoV
it felt as if my whole world was crashing down. he was gone, the one person who had been there through everything, had been there my whole life. my brother was gone..
Mia's dad was gone..
i lay cuddled into rye on his bunk. it had been mostly silent apart from my soft sobs and him telling me it was going to be okay.. i didn't know what to say. Rye had guessed what had happened and well he was right.. Andy and Jack seemed very confused. Brooklyn and Mikey had taken Mia into the kitchen to make cupcakes which i appreciate.
"how am i going to tell her" i finally say and Rye practically jumps out his skin. he looks at me sadly and i sit up, he sits with me.
"i'll help you.." he gives me a small smile, "faith im sorry, i'm here for you to talk, we all are" Rye tells me.
"yeah, were here for you" Andy and jack both say, now standing by us. mikey stood in the door way, the three of them looked both concerned and confused. i sigh.
"i'm sorry for whatever's happened.." jack adds.
"my brother was a soldier in the army, there was a raid at his base camp-" i whisper and their faces drop.
'was' i hate that word now..
"i'm sorry.." mikey says quietly, coming over to us. i pause thinking of what to say.
"how's Mia?" i ask.
"with brook, they're almost finished with the cakes" mikey smiles lightly. i smile back.
"thank you both, i'll find a way to tell her, somehow" i say, getting up, climbing down the ladder.
"where are you going?" Rye asks concerned, getting up too.
"just to see Mia and brook, i'll be back" i tell him and he nods, sitting back down. i head into the kitchen to find Mia sat on the counter with cupcake mixture on her nose and flower on her cheeks, brooklyn trying to clean her up. i smile lightly.
"aunty faith!" Mia giggles, "whatty happened?" she pouts. Brooklyn looks up at me concerned, his arm then going over my shoulders, pulling me into his side. i smile and hug him.
"it's okay Mia.. go see king Rye and the boys okay?" i tell her, she giggles, nodding. brooklyn helps her down and Mia hurried off into the other room.
"is everything okay?" brooklyn asks. i think before shaking my head, he pulls me into a hug, "it's okay to cry don't worry" he says. and so i do..
"he's dead brooklyn" i manage to say, and just end up crying more. he hugs me tightly.
"faith.. im sorry.. it's going to be okay, we're all here for you both of you- shit" he pauses.
"what what is it?!" i pull away looking up at him.
"i- at the park- Mia said she hoped to see her dad soon- i said she would i promised- no no, i-" he tells me, looking as if he's going to cry, my heart drops. he slides down to the floor and leans against the cupboards, his head in is hands.
"brooklyn that's not your fault, its no ones fault.." i tell him.
"i promised her-" he says, and i can tell he's crying. we both are.
"brooklyn it's not you're fault it's okay it's not your fault" i tell him, sitting down beside him and pulling him into a hug.
"i've never broken a promise" he says sadly.
"what's going on?!" rye asks concerned, rushing over to us both, sitting down.
"i promised Mia she'd see her dad again soon earlier at the park" brooklyn tells him.
"brooklyn.. that's not your fault"
"that's what i told him.." i add.
"i'm so sorry" brooklyn finally says.
"don't be, again, not your fault.." i tell him and Rye nods.
"thank you" he smiles lightly and stands up. me and rye get up too, "right then.. cupcakes" brooklyn says and i smile.
"thank you for that before, for taking her out and keeping her happy" i tell him and he smiles at me.
"it's okay" he says, putting the tray in the oven.
