~jadens pov~

Once Charli and Nik finished their hug earlier, Charli was in tears. I didn't ask Nicole or josh about anything yet.. I want to give them space.

Charli sat down next to me and I asked "what happened?"

She shook her head and wiped some tears while saying "F-Finn didn't make it. His body couldn't handle all of the p-pressure I guess.."

That son of a bitch. If Nicole's dad didn't find the kids.. Finn would be ok. If we were home, he'd be ok.

I feel terrible for Nicole.. after all of this trauma she's been through her whole life.. she deserves a break. She's never going to take one now. Neither is josh. He is going to watch that girl like a hawk now that this happened.

"H-he is..?" I said not knowing my emotion. I'm extremely sad, but also insanely angry.

Charli nodded her head at me, then told the others about it.

Charli hates when someone gets hurt, that's something I've noticed since we've been close. When Nicole would get hurt in football, the cheer team had to literally hold her back so she didn't attack the kid.

Out of our group, this whole situation is definitely hardest for Bryce, Nicole, Josh, Charli, Dixie, and Maggie.. even though she's not too sure what's going on, only because the same lips grew up with Nike brothers like their own and they were all like a group of siblings.

The poor kid probably won't remember her brother when she gets older.. this is terrible. Normally, I would go find and attack the person who caused the situation.. but I need to be here right now.

After about an hour, Nicole and josh left the hospital, I tried to ask he if she was ok, although we all know the answer is no.

Poor josh had tears flowing down his face. This only happens when something Happens to Nik, or when his dad left him senior year.

I wanted to go home, so did everyone else, but josh and Nicole need their time alone to think and process everything. Knowing Nicole, we won't see her for about a week. But josh.. I don't know, this had never happened before.

We all decided to go in and check up on tayler, see how he's doing.

When we walked in, Bryce was in one of the chairs, Maggie laying on the bed with Tayler showing him her game.

"H-hey tayler.." Charli said as she continued to wipe her tears away. Tayler gave a small smile and Charli ran to him, hugging him.

Look, if this was any other boy not in our group, I'd beat him up. I know char wouldn't get with anything of these other doofuses.

Bryce was hiding his face, he hates when people see him cry. Nik told me one time.. I think it was one of the many times she got hurt.

"Did Nik tello you guys..?" Tayler asked, obviously meaning Finn. We all nodded.

I don't know if Maggie knows yet. She was asking where he was before but nothing ever really came out. I don't think they had the courage to tell her yet.. that's something really hard to talk about.

Trust me, I know. When I was maybe five I had an older sister, i think she was 17 at the time, she was big on exercising and would go on runs every morning. One day an officer came and told us she got into an accident while crossing the train tracks.

Yeah I know.. it sucks. The worst part, i don't really remember her. I know she had dark brown hair, brown eyes like my dad. Everyone knows about her by now.. but I just don't talk about it like Nik will probably do with Finn.

The poor girl can't even talk about her parents without crying.. after all they did to her she still holds that empty feeling with her.

~Nicole's pov~

I'm not sure how but josh and I fell asleep on the bathroom floor. Neither of us had the strength to get to bed so I guess we stayed here.

Josh was awake holding me in his arms, me between his legs, and his head ontop of mine crying.

His crying made me start too. Great.

"P-princess.. when should we post about it..?" Josh asked while he looked into my eyes.

I frowned and said "l-let's get its over with.. I-I'll post.."

Josh nodded and I grabbed my phone, using the last 20 percent to make the post I never thought I'd have to make.

@nicolehall: Finn Isaiah Richards, gosh I don't know where to start. It truly saddens Josh and I to announce that this morning, at 10:42, our finny boy got his wings and flew up to meet the big guy in the clouds. I'm not going into detail about what happened, but it's something no one should ever have to go through. This world is sick and we need a change whether it's longer jail time, better help, better security, anything! Finn, mommy daddy and Maggie bears miss you so much.
