It 'past' my mind

HUNG up, SHOT down - Part 3

It's been a year since Noah and Jessica Helquist's deaths. All four of the children (Andrew, Austin, Stephanie and a Foz Helquist) were left traumatised, more Foz than anyone else. Seeing his father with a blood-stained forehead and his mother with a blood-stained neck would be scary for a young boy like him.

August 7th, 20XX

"Come on Foz!" Stephanie called to her brother excitedly - they were going clothes shopping, and Steph was definitely girly, hence the excitement. "Austin's already left!! We gotta catch up!" She could barely hold in her excitement.

"Ok, ok, I'm coming!" 7 year old Foz called to his older sister. He came down wearing his usual clothes (not the same as yesterday, nasty.), a jacket with a pale blue shirt. He had dark ripped jeans (trendy for a 7 year old amirite??) and baby blue sneakers *ahem* T R A I N E R S . His hair was the usual, lovely blonde and spiked upwards. (A/N: did I just write an entire fucking paragraph on his looks???? Meh, steph's turn.)

Meanwhile, Steph wore a gorgeously pink dress (but not highlighter pink) with a floral pattern on. Her amazing flamingo colour boots fitted her perfectly as she strut her way into the room, making her tanned skin stand out. Her sandy (A/N again: DID SOMEBODY SAY BOOM?) blonde hair was neatly into two buns, opposite from each other.

"Ready to go?" Andrew asked the duo. His dirty blonde hair stuck out as his jeans slightly ripped. He draped his jacket further over him, covering his shirt.

"Yeah!!" They said in unison.

-time skip to when they got there-

Once the three had arrived, they noticed a small crowd by a very tall building. They assumed that an accident had happened, but then they saw someone at the top, just waiting to jump.

Austin.

Andrew ran over straight away, yelling for him not to jump. Stephanie picked up Foz (she's strong ngl) and quickly walked over there. She set him down, and started yelling for her brother. Foz called out as well, but it wasn't nearly as loud as his other two siblings. Austin's face softened at the sight of his youngest brother, but that changed quickly as he prepared himself to jump again.

"AUSTIN!!"

"DONT DO IT! PLEASE!!!"

Then some asshole walked by and yelled,

"DO A FLIP!"

Stephanie didn't care who it was, but she bitch slapped him right across the face. Then she realised who it was. One of her good friends, Kie. (GET THE REFERENCE?????)

"Oh my god! Kie, you asshole!!" Stephanie scolded her younger best friend.

"I only said it as a joke, you didn't give me time to say that I was joking!" Kie responded.

"Seriously?! At a time like this? My brother is ready to commit suicide, and you're here making jokes!!" Steph was pissed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ok? I'll make it up to you by helping him stop!" Kie apologised.

Stephanie sighed. "That's okay-"

"AUSTIN!!!!!" Andrew cried.

Austin had jumped off. He couldn't take it anymore.

-hospital-

"Beep...beep...beep..."

"Is he going to be alright?" Andrew asked the nurse that was with them.

"We can't tell yet unfortunately.." the nurse replied.

"Beep..beep..beep.."

"It's speeding up?" Foz asked curiously.

"No... no no no!! Stay with us Austin!!" Stephanie cried.

"Beep.beep."

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep......"
