Skellingtons in the closet

Chapter 11: Suffer the consequences

Liz's Pov

By the time we made it to our rooms, I was getting more and more depressed about the night before. I fucked up and I put my marriage in jeopardy. I couldn't shake the thought from my mind, I felt so bad and I hated myself more and more about it. I hadn't talked to anyone since then either, I kept my phone off, trying to avoid anyone who might mention Chris or when Chris calls me himself. I couldn't talk to him and not break down in tears. I snatched myself from my thoughts as I heard knocks on my hotel room door. I got up and swung it open. It was Vic.

"Hey, you okay, you've been pretty distant with all of us," he says.

"I'm fine, it's just one of those days for me I guess. I have a lot on my mind,"

"Well, get some fresh air, take a walk,"

"Ha, no thanks. I'm taking never taking a 'walk' ever again,"

Vic raised his eyebrow.

"Nevermind I said that, I'm just gonna stroll around I suppose I have nothing better to do," I admittedly say and walk down the long hall with Vic talking about the concert tonight, and Tyler and...Chris. Vic had asked if he had calmed down and I said that he did, and the rest of the conversation was dead after that. When we made it outside, I went my separate way and sat down at a empty table near the beach. I watched people running in the sand, and splash each other in the water. I was some how entertained by it, but I soon got bored and left. I was heading towards back to the hotel, except I didn't go to my room, I went to the roof, I was hundreds of feet away from the ground, watching people walking past without even noticing me. I stepped on the edge of the roof and looked even farther, tempted to just jump. Don't think twice, just jump was all that flew in my head. One more step and all your worries will be gone.  I took a deep breath and moved my feet.

Chris's Pov

Me and the guys have been asking people if they've seen the girls, describing what they look like and many have said that they haven't seen them. We couldn't find them anywhere, and I was literally losing my mind. I cursed at the guys for 'not trying hard enough' even though we were all running our asses off, and I felt bad about it. We stopped to take a break in front of a hotel building. I immediately heard screaming. A lady just two feet away from us screamed and pointed up the hotel building. Me and the guys looked at each other then up. Our mouths dropped and I screamed 'LIZZZ!!!' She looked tempted to jump, so I immediately ran in the building.

Liz

I took a deep breath and moved my feet to keep me balanced on the edge. I was really tempted to jump until I thought about Tyler. He needs me. I can't leave him. I opened my eyes and turned around, but I turned around to fast and stepped on my shoe lace, making me stumble, before I knew it, I was flying towards the ground, screaming my head off, luckily I grabbed on to something that was cemented into the building, my feet dangling beneath me, I could now hear the faint sound of people screaming, I even heard my name a couple of times, and I thought maybe it was James and the rest of the guys. I tried pulling my self up, but my hands got sweaty and I lost my grip, sending me down, flying to my death. All I could do was scream, and then everything went black. I was dead. And Tyler lost his mommy, and Chris lost a cheating wife. A possible pregnant cheating wife.

Brionnas Pov

We finally got out the cab and stared at the tall apartment building.

"I hope she still lives here," Briar mumbles, being the first one to go inside, me and Riot following behind. I was kinda hoping that Liz was in Miami, I didn't want to leave without saying good bye. It bugged me all day, but I kept it to myself. We walked up the flight of stairs with our bags close behind us. We finally stop at a door, 2C. Briar nervously exhales and knocked on the wooden door.

"Just a minute!" A female voice called out.

We could hear the locks unlocking and the door swung open, revealing a skinny girl with pale skin and light blonde hair with dark eye make up on.

"Taylor!" Briar exclaimed.

"Briar!" Taylor exclaimed.

They run into each other's arms and hugged for what seemed like forever. They finally broke the hug and Briar introduced us to her and explained everything and asked if we could stay with her. Without hesitation, Taylor said yes and let us in. We immediately throw our bags to the floor and charge our phones up. Time to get to know Taylor. She lit a cigarette and sat on the couch and said "you girls can help yourself to anything in the kitchen if you're hungry," I wasn't hungry. I just wanted my phone to hurry up and charge so I could call Liz. I miss her.

Meanwhile with Chris...

I was too late. By the time I made it to the roof, she was gone. I ran to the edge and looked over, seeing small frames of people running to one specific spot. And I knew exactly why. I got on my knees and felt the stream of tears swimming down my face. I lost my wife. The woman I loved the most. She was gone. My eyes burned from crying too much but I didn't care. I couldn't save her. I was too late. I lost my world. It was the end of the world for me, I felt like everything was my fault. Like what if I was the reason why she jumped? It was my fault she jumped, I'm too much to handle. I was a magnet for drama, and she hated it, so she jumped off a twelve floor flight building. I could never forgive myself. She was my first love, she showed me things that I'd thought I'd never understand, she was the mother of my son. Tyler. The thought of me telling him that his mom is dead kills me. I thought about jumping too, but I couldn't do that to Tyler. He needs his father and I'll be damned if someone else takes care of him. I wiped the tears from my face and remained on my knees, staring into deep space. How could she do this to us. To me. To Tyler. To everyone.

I eventually made it outside and the whole front of the hotel were surrounded by the paramedics, I was weak enough to stumble to the crowd of people surrounding the ambulance, Josh, Devin and Ryan were trying their hardest to hold back Ricky, he was screaming to the top of his lungs and he tried to escape their grasp but it was no use, he kept trying though. I could feel my tears forming again as I push pass them, trying to see my wife for the last time, but I couldn't see her face, they had her gourney facing towards the wall in the van, so i could only see the top of her head, it was covered in blood, before I made my way in the van, her arm dangles to her side, dangling from the gourney, her wedding ring slid off her finger and slid on the ground in front of my feet, then the paramedics closed the doors and drove off. I picked up the ring and held on tight to it and slid it in my pocket. I turned around and the guys were huddled up, hugging and crying. To the far right of them was Vic and his band, James, Chase and Johnnie, they were crying also. I was getting close to crying again also, Vic and the rest of the guys walked up to me, he stared at me, with tears in his eyes.

"She did seem pretty depressed about something...she was being distant....I'm sorry, Chris," Vic says.

We hugged and that was it. James walked towards me next he was taking it pretty hard too, he and Liz have been friends since their senior year in high school.

"Uh...we'll cancer the rest of the tour, it wouldn't be the same without her....my condolences," he stammered, trying to hold back from crying than he already was. I hugged him as well, and went up to Ricky and the rest of the guys.

"We better go tell Maria and...Tyler, and see if we can say goodbye to...Liz at the hospital...hopefully they didn't send her to the morgue yet...." I sadly say.

"Let's just hope they have the courtesy of at least try helping her come back," Ryan says.

I nod and walk past them. Then I remembered something.  We still have to look for the girls. Shit.
