"I'm here for Tom and Mitchell Harper, I'm their daughter Casey" I say trying to calm my anxiety

"Miss, I'm very sorry, Tom is in a very critical coma and unfortunately Mitchell just flatlined and we were unable to save him" she looks at me sympatheticly and I fall back into Ethan's arms.

My breathing gets faster and faster almost out of control. Ethan's holding me in his arms letting me cry in his shoulder. I only said two days ago I couldn't imagine losing either of them and now I have lost one and the others in a critical condition literally fighting for his life. What did I do wrong. Was I being punished for something?

"Baby... everything will be ok. I promise. We can go in and see him. We'll get through this together Cas" he kisses my forehead while continuing to rub circles in my back.

I quickly go to the bathroom to wash my face off then go to the room the nurse said he was in. I was going to say a proper goodbye to Mitchell. I was always closer to him because he was a stay at home dad while Tom worked when they had first adopted me. I already miss him so much. I go in, Ethan waits outside and holds my stuff for me.

Ethan's POV

I wait outside the door as Casey goes in to say goodbye to her dad. I know exactly how she feels. I never really got to say a proper goodbye to my dad either. And it was just her birthday yesterday. She nor them deserved this. I feel a buzz in my pocket. It was Casey's phone and I was going to leave it but I saw chases name and a long angry paragraph.

Chase: fine ignore me. Hope your having fun mucking around with Ethan but that won't last long. He's a play boy. He doesn't do 'relationships'. He has his fun and leaves when it gets boring. But ur accepting it, maybe u rlly are a slut like everyone says huh. Well keep doing what u do best. Maybe I'll get my house back. We both know I never wanted to do this anyway.

This triggered me but I've gotta keep my calm for her. I grab my phone out and decide to send him a little message to clear things up.

Ethan: look mate. I don't know who you think you are but calling people sluts is just not ok. First of all you know nothing about be so don't say I don't do relationships because  in fact I actually do and I especially would love to keep the one I have right now. It is not ok to assume things either. You must be that egotistical that you think it's alright to send a message like the one u sent Casey when she's going through the shit she is. You have no idea how much pain she's going through and tbh with you she doesn't need that right now so leave me, gray and Casey alone right now. Thanks.

Chase: oh ofc she would've shown you the message. Awe boo who I called her a slut and told her the truth about u. The truth hurts doesn't it. And if she calls a few headlines and rumours spreading a tough time and that she's in pain then fuck she's gotta wake the fuck up and realise it's reality.

Ethan: alright I tried to be nice about it and stay civil. You have NO fucking clue what is happening. She just lost one of her fathers and the other is in a critical condition fighting for his damn life in hospital right now. I guess you don't know what pain feels like because you clearly have no fucking heart. You're younger then me and you fucking talk to woman like that and think it's ok to talk shit about me. No fucking way mate. You do NOT deserve such an amazing girl like her. She's done nothing but be nice to you and you have treated her like shit. Yea sure u can certainly act in public but she tells me what it's like a your house. Oh yea guess you can have it back. She can move in with me. She doesn't need you. And quite frankly after she reads the message you've sent her I don't think she'll want to see you for a while. Better hope Lisa's prepared to cancel the stupid contract because I'm sick of this mess. She's manipulated Casey into doing this. Stay the fuck away from her. Don't text her. Don't text me. Leave us the fuck alone. The only think you can talk about is the fucking contract. Got it.

Chase: right right she's lost her dad. As if I'd believe that dickhead. You're just making up excuses and trying to make me feel bad. Not gonna work buddy.

Ethan: I am not your fucking buddy anymore. And sure cause I'd make something like that up when I've been through the pain of losing my dad. No. I'm not fucking like that. Think what you want but you better pull your head outta ur ass real soon.

I send the message and turn off my phone as soon as Casey walks out. I can see tear stains on her cheek. She gives me a little smile and I pull her into a hug knowing she's about to cry. We go to the room where Tom is to go see him and how he's doing. Once again I wait outside knowing she needs time to herself to go see her other dad. Before she walks in she tweeted something and posted something on her insta n snap stories telling her fans that she won't be posting for a while because of what she's going through.

Tweet: hey guys. So there's a lot of rumours going around and I'm in a lot of headlines but all of it was just me and friends going out for my birthday. I also won't be posting for a while because of things that are going on. If you want to know I'll be posting one last thing on Instagram before I have a break. Sorry guys :(

Instagram (post of her and two dads - *caption*): Tom and Mitchell Harper. Dads. You are truly an amazing couple who took me in as their daughter just after I was born. You have been the best parents anyone could ever imagine. Mitchell, I miss you so so much already and what happened broke my heart, I honestly can't believe your gone. You left this world too early and you truly didn't deserve it. You're such an amazing father to me and I hope you know how much I really love you. I hate that I never got to say a proper goodbye to you. Tom, I hope I do get to keep you in my life longer, I can't imagine losing both my dads. One is too many. No one should ever go through the pain of losing someone. I miss you even though your still here. You're in the hospital bed fighting for your life not even knowing that you lost your husband. I don't want to lose you either. I know your a fighter and your strong. I know you can do this. Please fight for me. I love you so much. Both of you 🙏🏻💞🖤

Instagram (story): hey guys I just posted something like I said I would. I'm taking a break. I'm not sure how long but I lost one of my fathers today and the other is fighting for his life right now. Drunk drivers need to be stopped. I miss my dad already and I can't lose another one which is why I need to focus on this for now and take a break. I'm sorry to disappoint you guys :(

Snap: hey for those who don't have Twitter. I've just posted something on Instagram. I'm taking a break. You'll understand why with the post.
