Skellingtons in the closet

Chapter 27: Dead

Chris's POV

Do you know how stressful it is to wait in the waiting room for someone you love to pieces to be okay? Do you know how anxious that feels? How tiredsome it was. After Riot climbed that banister, since she didn't fall as everyone thought she did, she grabbed the gun and aimed at Megan because she was just about to get up and attack, and just as Riot shot the gun, Liz got in the way. It was an accident, Riot didn't mean to shoot Liz. Megan reached for the gun anyway and they fought over it and the other women helped in. I've been listening and watching Riot beat her self over this mess. I am pissed at her, but I do understand that she tried to help. I was also still pissed the fact that she pushed me over the fucking balcony banister. I shot up from my chair as the doctor walked up towards us.

"Well?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, Mrs.Cerulli didn't make it, Mr.Cerulli. The bullet hit some very important arteries, she's lost a lot of blood, and on the way down to ground as she fell when the bullet hit her, she hit her head on the concrete and fractured her skull...her heartbeat slowed down and then came to a final stop at approximately 11:45 pm, I'm sorry...."

My heart stopped beating and shattered I'm my chest. I had no heart now. I fell to my ass and hugged my knees, letting the tears spill out of my eyes. Everyone else around me were crying too, but tried to help me back up, but I pushed them away and watched the doctor slowly walk away from the big scene.

"YOU DIDN'T TRY SAVING HER!!!! YOU DIDNT TRY HARD ENOUGH!!!" I cried out. Devn and Ryan got me up and struggled keeping me out.

"HOW AM I SUPPOSSED TO TELL MY SON HIS MOTHER IS DEAD?! MY WIFE IS DEAD! " I cried as the guys carried me out the hospital.

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

"Put it down carefully..." I this whispered to Tyler. He lightly puts the rose down on Liz's tombstone.

"I miss her..." Tyler cried.

"Me too, son...." I croaked as I pulled him into a hug and we cried into each other's arms. Devin, Maria, Ricky, Ryan, Balz, the girls, Mr. And Mrs.Smith, LynZ, Gerard, Tyler, and I were all crying silently, staring into Liz's tombstone. I let out a loud cry and buried my face into my hands. It wasn't her time. My world was crushed and it'll never be the same without her. Things wouldn't be the same anymore. I don't have my wife anymore and Tyler don't have his mother anymore. We all lost someone special to our hearts, and it'll scar us for life. I'll never have the chance to tell her I love you anymore or feel those soft lips and her perfect hugs.

"Who's gonna make blueberry pancakes for us now?" Balz says as he tried to lighten up the mood a bit, referring to Liz's pancakes.

By the time it was time to leave the grave site, I gently put my rose down and stared at the granite stone.

"I guess your worries are gone now, Liz....I...love....you...I just wish you waited a little bit longer, I promise Tyler will grow to be the man we want him to be....you'll always be mine, forever and always..."

Without even looking back, Tyler and I led our pack to our vehicles and made our way home.

Home isn't even home anymore.

Home is with Liz.

Liz

And there I was. In a white light. Walking alone in a peaceful place. I now knew that I was for sure dead, and I wish I said my last goodbyes, but its too late to turn back now. I spent my life so stressed and built anger and sorrow inside, I didn't even get to live it to it's fullest. My advice? Tell the people you love and care about how much they mean to you. It'll make them feel special.
