Honeypie (Oliver Sykes)

44

Oliver glanced nervously at the clock. It was well over an hour but he brushed it off as the traffic being bad. He easily slipped back into the conversation about a new single his band was working on with Yungblud. He laughed and excused himself as he walked off to answer the call without paying attention to the caller ID. 

"Hello?"

"Is this Oliver Sykes?"

"Who's asking?"

"Sheffield Emergency Center. Your wife was involved in a car accident with a drunk driver. We're sorry to announce that neither one survived the crash." 

He dropped his phone and it shattered against the hardwood floor. The guys heard the sound and rushed to investigate. Oliver was frozen to one spot and wasn't even breathing. 

"Uh, mate?" Jordan asked and a large sob broke from his throat. He grabbed onto Jordan and pulled him into a hug. 

"It's ok, Oli. Jesus calm down. You're going to have a panic attack." Jordan led him to the living room and the group followed after them. 

"Oliver, where is my sister?" Alexis asked, already expecting the worst from Oliver's breakdown. 

"She was involved in a car crash. She's in the Sheffield morgue." he choked out and Alexis broke down across from him. He instantly jumped up at the sound of Arabella's shrill screams. A baby can sense emotions in the air and right now she was feeling the weight of her mother's loss. He picked the baby up and shushed her while slowly walking back into the living room. 

"Let's go see your mum, munchkin." he whispered and kissed the side of the baby's head while more tears rolled down his face. The group followed Oliver out to the cars and the sky erupted with lightning and thunder, causing Arabella to scream and start crying once again.
