UNEXPECTED

Chapter eighteen- Kyle's dead

I woke up because I heard my phone go off, I looked at the screen to see a text from Kyle.

'Ava I'm so sorry, I will forever love you and Hunter. I wish you all the best and remember I'll be watching you baby'

That text had me starting to worry. I rang Brice straight away.

"Hello? Ava it's like 2 in the morning it better be good"

"Brice I need you to get to Kyle's right away I think he's doing something stupid to himself. Stay with him until I get there I should be an hour the most"

"Okay I'm going now"

I quickly hung up the phone and pulled my uggs on, river woke up and looked at me.

"Ava you've got to stop always fucking running back to him! You're my mate, not his. How would you feel if I was still talking to my ex wife!?"

"River now is not the time, he's still Hunters dad and he's still my husband I still care about him and until I know he's alright I won't stop running back to him as you put it. Now I'm going back with Hunter"

"Well I'm coming"

"No river you not, you're going to stay put"

"Ava I said I'm coming and that's fina.."

"YOU ARE NOT COMING! I need to go back with the baby I will call you when I get there. He's depressed and upset do you really think its a good idea for his wife's boyfriend to come with her? No I don't think so. I'm sorry river and you know I love you but I have to go"

I didn't wait for him to respond I ran out the room and to Hunters, I quickly grabbed him and ran out to the car. I strapped him in and we was off. About an hour later I pulled up outside the house and saw Brice sitting on the doorstep crying. I knew then it was bad.

"Brice what's going on" I asked in a panicked tone.

"Ava he's only got a few minutes you might want to be quick"

I ran upstairs with the baby still in my arms and to my old bedroom, I saw Kyle laying on the bed.

"Kyle!?"

"Ava?" Kyle croaked.

"Oh my god Kyle what have you done?! Why would you do this to Hunter he needs a dad. Why would you do this to me?!" Tears were streaming down my face and Kyle had also started crying by now.

"Ava I couldn't do it no more, I love you too much and I can't be without you. I'm sorry. There's a letter for you and I wrote another one for Hunter on the table over there. I love you baby"

And just like that his eyes started to drop.

"Kyle no! I love you please come back! Kyle please"

I was punching his chest but he just wasn't responding.

"Kyle please"

Hanna and Brice walked in the room, Hanna took Hunter out and Brice tried pulling me away.

"No leave me! Kyle please come back! Kyle"

"Ava he's gone, stop"

"No! No he hasn't stop it let me go! Kyle!"

Brice had tears falling down his face and I could hear Hunter screaming downstairs, Kyle was dead and I knew Hunter knew his dad had died.

"Why would he do this Brice, why, why why?"

I was punching Brice chest.

"Ava calm down, it will be okay"

"No it won't fucking be okay. I hate him why would he do this to me"

I felt Brice arms move from me and someone else arms go around me, river it was rivers arms.
I looked up and saw him looking sad and like he wanted to cry.

"It's okay baby"

"No, why would he do that river why?! Let go of me now"

I tried pushing him away but he just would let go.

"Ava stop it"

"I hate him"

"Ava please"

River tried pulling me to him again and this time i hugged him back.

"Everything's going to be alright, I promise you Ava. I promise I'll take care of you and Hunter"

And just like that my baby's screams came back to me, Hunter was still screaming downstairs. I pushed River off me and I ran out the room and to where Hanna was, I took Hunter off her and cuddled him to my chest.

"It's okay baby, mommy is here"

His full on cries came to whimpers and I knew he was calming down.
I started rocking him back and forth and he stopped crying completely. His big greens eyes so much like his dads looked up at me.

"Dada, dada"

Well that started the water works more. River took Hunter from my arms but he started screaming again, he never did that he was always good for River. I took him back and he calmed down.

"Mama, dada?"

He said with teary eyes.

"I've got to get out of here"

"Okay come we can go home"

"Ava I'll call you tomorrow Brice said while still crying"

Brice and Kyle had been best friends since the first ever day of kindergarten. They remained friends all throughout pre-school, middle school, high school and collage and was still best friends to this day.

"I'm sorry Brice"

He just weakly smiled at me, I knew he was hurting just as much as I was inside.
Kyle was gone now and we all had to find a way to move on without him. Hunter had to grow up without his dad there for him, Brice lost his best friend and I lost the person I loved with all my heart.
