Juliet's POV
"Aaron passed away in his sleep last night." The doctor said.
My body tensed up, l couldn't move. I left my mouth open, waiting for words to come out, but they never did.
"How did...uh...it happen?" Hayes asked.
"It was natural causes." The doctor answered.
"You can't be serious...right?" I asked.
"I'm sorry for your loss." He said before he left. We were left in a room filled with silence, except for Alyssa's soft sobs.
"We should probably tell the fans." Daniel said.
I ran out of the waiting room. Hayes was calling my name but I ignored it, and took the elevator up to the roof.
It was raining, and I let the rain pour down on me. I ran to the edge of the roof, looking down at the people below me.
I hated this. I hate my life. I hate how many people I've let down. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
So I did what I had to do, I screamed. I kicked on the rocky pavement, I threw myself around the roof just for me to feel something. I needed to get my anger out.
My legs were scratched up, and my arms were bruised, but I didn't care. My mind was racing, and my heart was pounding, so I sat down.
"Juliet." Someone called, and I turned. It was Hayes. He sat down, a small distance separated us.
We didn't say anything to each other at first- we didn't have to, but he just stared at me.
"It's okay to feel this way." He said, turning his attention to the horizon.
The rain was falling hard on the rooftop, my hair and clothes were soaking wet.
"You couldn't have done anything to save him." He said. "I get it. I wish I could've gone something. I wish I could've said goodbye."
I didn't know if I was crying, because the rain made my clothes wet, but I knew how much pain I felt.
"I hate this." I finally said. "I keep losing everyone I love."
Hayes closed the space between us, and he kissed my lips.
"I'll always be here." He said when we pulled apart, and I nodded.
I laid my head on his shoulder, and we sat on the roof, as the rain made my tears blend together.

I woke up on the couch in the waiting room when Kelly told us.
"The tour's been cancelled. We couldn't do this without Aaron, and the fans couldn't go without Aaron, so I guess you can all go home after this." She said.
"Are we leaving today?" Tez asked.
"Well, yes. We were going to leave now and go back to the hotel to pack our things." She said.
Aaron's things. What are we going to do about those? Who's going to keep them? Are we going to give them back to his family.
I never thought about his family. They must be devastated. I don't want to be the person that breaks the news to them.
"Wait." I said, "I want to see him."
"Oh, we will honey. In the funeral-"
"No, I mean. His body. Right now." I said.
"I know Juliet, but the doctor won't allow us." She said, and I looked at Hayes.
His arm was wrapped tightly around my waist, and he gave me a quick peck on the forehead.
"I love you." He said, and I said it back.
We all piled into the car, and we all stared outside of the window.
It was like we were leaving our family behind. Heck, it was like we were leaving part of ourselves behind.
The car ride was silent, when we pulled up to the hotel, everyone got out and went straight to their rooms.
Hayes was packing his things, and I sat on the edge of my bed, staring aimlessly at the wall.
"Babe, we have to pack." Hayes said.
"Yeah. I know." I said. "It's just...frustrating."
"What is?" He joined me at my side.
"Everything." I laughed lightly.
"I know, babe." He sighed. "But do you want me to pack your things for you?" He asked, and I smiled. He kissed me passionately.
"That's the smile I miss. Okay, I'll pack your stuff for you." He said, as he got up and packed my things.
I straightened the room up a little bit, and when he was done, we got our things and walked out the door. We said goodbye to everyone and then we took a taxi to the airport.
"Where are we going? LA or North Carolina?" I asked.
"LA. We have to hang out with the boys and tell them the news and stuff." He said.
When the taxi driver dropped us off, we did our usual thing at the airport, and waited for our flight to get there. We were really late, so the flight was there in a short amount of time.
When we started taking off, I started to fall asleep.
"Wake me when we're LA." I said, and Hayes nodded.
"Yeah. Good night." He said.
When I closed my eyes, I prayed that when I wake up, everything would be just a dream.

Hey guys, how are you? How was your day? I didn't really feel good and Monday are my busiest days (which suck) but I just want to sleep, lol.
What do you guys think will happen next?
SSOTD: She Bad by Cameron Dallas (how do you guys feel about this song? Personally, I think he's an okay rapper, but honestly not everyone is made to be a singer.)
I LOVE YOU GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING! <3
P.S: I'm going to end this book at 80 or 85 chapters, which is 30/35 chapters away. So please mentally prepare yourself for what's about to happen, because I don't think you're ready.
