❥ HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

it all just happened so fast

one minute, brynn was making her speech, making everyone in the venue laugh, and next thing you know, she's on the ground unconscious.

"brynn!" wyatt exclaimed, rushing over to the blonde with erin trailing behind him

"what's happening?! what?"

"call 911 now!" erin yelled, as her now husband cradled their best friends in his arms, trying to check for a pulse

"no no no this cannot be happening — not tonight brynn!" wyatt said shakily, pulling her to his chest as his eyes glossed with tears

wyatt and erin sat on the chairs a little farther from the rest of the group, in each other's arms. laying down on his wife's lap, wyatt stared into the distance, fidgeting with the hem of his wife's coat. sighing heavily, erin ran her fingers through his hair, nervously tapping her left foot and repeatedly glancing at door.

"how long did you guys know?" john queried, catching everyone's attention.

"quite awhile now"

"why didn't you tell us anything?" lilia asked, on the verge of tears as she clutched onto jill a little tighter.

"she didn't want us to tell you. believe me i wanted to tell you guys so bad so we could convince to take care of herself but she pushed all of this to the side because she was worried about —"
