Real Life Fairy Tale

Zack's Point Of View

I looked up toward my sister's room as I heard the faint sounds of her tears hitting her pillow. My heart broke knowing what happened just a few short months ago and how she still hasn't moved on from it and there was nothing I could to help her out. The only person who could make her pain go away was the person who caused it. I felt my girlfriend Sammy's arms wrap around my shoulders as she held me closer.

"Has Stac ate or drank anything yet?" Sammy asked me. I shook my head no.
"She won't let me go into her room she only lets you." I stated as I heard Stacie cry. I went back to the day this all started.

-7 Months ago-

Stacie and I were having a twin day just hanging out in our apartment when I heard a call from the bathroom.

"Zacky." I heard my sister faintly say.
"What is it sis?" I asked her getting off the couch hopeing that her and my future niece or nephew was okay. I was the only one who knew besides our parents because Stacie was waiting for Brian to come over to tell him face to face that he was going to be a father.
"I'm bleeding, like really badly." Stacie said coming out of the bathroom with her jeans on showing the dark red spots on the back and the front. I gasped and she started to cry.
"What if it's the baby, I haven't felt anything in a while." Stacie said.
"COme on let's go to the hospital before Brian gets here." I said to her as I picked her up and carried her to my car not caring that I was touching her blood. She put her face in my neck and started to cry. I hoped it wasn't the baby I was so happy to find out I was going to be an uncle. I put Stacie down as she continued to sob holding onto her stomach and put a blanket on the front seat and picked my sister up. I sent Sammy a quick text saying that Stacie felt sick so I was taking her to the hospital.

I drove as fast as I could to the hospital as Stacie sat there holding her stomach and sobbing.

"I can't lose mine and Brian's baby I can't, he's going to be so happy that we made this together." Stacie sobbed as I pulled into HUntington Beach Hospital.
"Your fine, the baby's fine, this is just all normal." I said to her as I grabbed her hand once I parked the car. I got out of the driver's side and ran over to her side and opened the door. She grabbed a hold of me and I looked into her green eyes seeing that she was slowly breaking probably already knowing that her baby was dead. I walked in and the nurses saw her bloody pants and rushed her into the emergency room.

"I'm not going in there without my brother." I heard Stacie say. One of the nurses turned around and motioned me to follow them. When I got up to Stacie she grabbed my hand and I walked side by side with her until we got put in a room. They set Stacie up and kept her private areas private. They set up the ultrasound machine and what we saw was what i excepted which was Stacie no longer carrying the baby. Stacie broke down and I pulled her to me and they got a machine that would pull out whatever was left in her from her miscarriage.

"Why does it have to be the day I was going to tell Brian." Stacie cried.
"I don't know but you and him will be able to more babies together." I said to her as she just held on and cried. It took a few minutes and they finally told Stacie she was all set to go home and rest. They gave her a pair of hospital pants to go home in. I walked her out holding onto her and walked her to the car. Stacie was silent the whole ride home. We walked in the house and she just walked up the steps to her room.

"Let Brian know I'm upstairs when he gets here okay." Stacie said.
"I will. DO you need anything?" I asked her already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, my child back." She said walking up the stairs and slamming the door. I sat down on the couch and called Sammy, knowing she was going to need her best friend before her boyfriend got here. I Dialed my girlfriend's number and it went to voice-mail so I left a message telling to come over as soon as possible, I have some news and Stacie needs her best friend. I could hear Stacie upstairs crying and then just in the nick of time Brian was walking in with a smile on his face.

"Hey man, guess what?" He said to me as he sat down.
"What?" I asked him.
"So you know how I tried to get into the music school and shit when we graduated and I told Matt I wouldn't join Avenged until I found out what was going on." BRian said still smiling. I looked at him like continue and nodded understanding.
"Yeah, I remember." I said.
"Well, I got in finally and I leave like in two weeks to go up there." Brian said and my heart crushed.
"What's going to happen to you and Stacie?" I asked him.
"Well, I don't want to like hurt her by being long distance because I know she is going to help you guys out with Sammy so I'm just going to tell her it's for the best if we break up." Brian said. MY heart sank she can't go with two things of bad news in one day.
"So where is she?" Brian asked. I almost wanted to say she wasn't here but he must have heard her flush her toilet and Brian got up from the couch and ran up the stairs. I grabbed my phone and dialed Sammy hoping she would answer. When I heard the sound of her voice all I could say was, "Come here as soon as you can please."

-Stacie's point of View-

I laid in my bed crying and looking at the ultrasound picture of mine and Brian's baby that I've been carrying in my stomach for 2 months. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and toward my room. I heard them stop at my door.

"Go away Zack." I said as I sniffled.
"Well I guess you date yourself then." I heard Brian's voice say. I shoved the ultrasound under my pillow and wiped my eyes so it wouldn't look like I was crying. Brian's head popped in and I couldn't help but smile even though all I wanted to do was cry.

"Hey baby." I said smiling sweetly as the man I loved walked into my room and over to my bed. He had a paper in his hand and was smiling back.
"Hey Stac." Brian stated which confused me because he always said Hi beautiful when he would see me.
"What do you have there?" I asked him.
"My acceptance letter" Brian stated as he sat down on my bed.
"Really you got in?" I said forgetting about what happened to our baby and I was happy for my boyfriend.
"Yeah, I did." Brian said. I smiled and hugged him.
"Baby that's so great, I told you that you would get in." I said to him and he pushed me away. I grew so confused.
"Thanks. There is something i need to tell you." Brian said as his face dropped from happiness and he stood up from my bed.
"What is it?" I asked him.

Brian started to pace my room and stopped at a picture of us and sighed sadly and then turned back and faced me.
"I'm so sorry, but I know you are going to help Zack, Matt, Jimmy and Matt Wentd with the band and I don't want to do a long distance relationship with us worrying weather I'm going to be faithful or if you are going to find someone else so I'm going to end it so neither one of us will get hurt." Brian said as I felt my whole world come tumbling down and the tears that vanished when he said he got in came back crashing and I felt everything that happened hit me.

"You're breaking up with me?" I said as continued to cry.
"I'm so sorry, it's for the best." Brian said as my heart crumbled. First I lost our baby then I lost him,
"Get. Out." I said. Brian nodded nad walked out of my room. I curled up into a ball and just sobbed grabbing the ultrasound and holding it tightly to my chest. I didn't want to see any one or move myself from this position, I wanted to be like Sleeping Beauty just sleep it all away and hope for my true love to come back and take the pain away.

-Zack's Point Of View-

As soon as Brian walked down the stairs with a sad face, I knew he did the deed of breaking up with my sister and Sammy ran up the stairs after calling him a bastard. Brian just walked out the door and I could tell that Stacie didn't tell him any thing of the baby at all. I heard Stacie's sobs as I got closer and closer to the door. I had a plan to get Brian to come back one way or another because I knew he loved, well loves my sister and I know my sister loves him.

-Present day-

Sammy went upstairs to check on Stacie who did not move from the position she was in 7 months ago. I went upstairs to look and Stacie was sound asleep. Sammy shook her head and tried to grab the ultrasound picture from her hand and Stacie didn't let go just pulled it closer. Sammy got up and brushed Stacie's hair out of her face and moved to head downstairs with me.

"What if it doesn't work, I know he has texted me telling me he is miserable but what if 7 months of her not having a baby is going to work to bring him back here and get her out of this depression." Sammy asked me.
"It will work trust me." I said. Just then Matt and Jimmy came in the door out of breath from running.

"McKenna just told me that Brian stopped by there showing them the ultrasound picture, he is on his way here. It fucking worked guys." Jimmy said with a smile on his face. I smiled too knowing my sister will slowly get out of this funk of sleeping all day and night and not doing anything, even sleeping when Sammy would pick her up to make her use the bathroom and shower. Matt sat down on the couch and looked at me.

"I hope this fucking works Zack because Stacie is like a little sister to me and I can't stand seeing her so depressed." Matt said.
"I know, me too man, me too." I said sitting down next to him. Shortly after I did that there was a knock on the door and Sammy got up to answer it.

"Is it true?" I heard the voice ask.
"Is what true Brian?" Sammy asked him.
"That the day I left for school Stacie lost our baby?" Brian asked her. I didn't hear Sammy's response but just by the way I heard a choked sob leave Brian, I knew she nodded yes. Brian came in and I couldn't help but glare at him, I'm Stacie's twin older brother I'm supposed to protect my sister from assholes who broke her heart.

"I'm sorry Zack, I wasn't thinking at all when I broke up with her. When I did I was so miserable up at school so that's why I dropped out and if you guys will let me, can I be in Avenged?" Brian asked.
"On one condition, go upstairs and be Stacie's prince charming." Matt and Jimmy said for me. I nodded my head and Brian headed up the stairs.

-Brian's Point Of View-

I walked up to the steps that I left seven months ago holding a picture of a 2 month old ultrasound photograph of my child that Stacie lost the day I broke up with her. When I got up to her room, I slowly opened the door and saw her tear stained cheeks and her eyes closed. She was still laying in the same position as I left her a few months prior, my heart broke. She didn't even move as I closed the door and started to walk over to her bed. When I got closer to her bed, I sat down and ran my fingers through her hair. It was kinda greasey but you can tell that someone made sure she got in the shower every once in a while. I felt so bad for just breaking up with her the way I did, I thought would be for the best but it wasn't.

I tried to shake her awake but she wouldn't budge, all she did was mumble something and curl into a tighter ball. She looked so broken and she was holding the same photograph that made me come back quicker and drop out of school so I could be with my own true love, traveling around the world with her and my friends.

"Stacie." I said softly but she didn't move an inch. I remembered what Matt and Jimmy said before I came up here and it was go be her prince charming. So I leaned down and kissed her lips lightly a few times before pressing my lips full against her. I felt her pressing her lips against mine so I pulled her closer and cupped her face. When I fully felt her grabbing back, I pulled away and she opened her eyes and blinked a few times. Her green eyes finally hit mine and she had a confused look on her face.

"Brian?" she asked me. I nodded my head.
"What are you doing here?" she asked me.
"I'm so sorry, I fucked up." I said to her pulling her to me so she knew I was real and there.
"You hurt me." Stacie said.
"I know I hurt you, if I would have known then what I know now that I was miserable without you being mine and that you just lost our baby I wouldn't have ever left you." I said to her.
"So if you would have known I miscarried you would have stayed?" Stacie said as she pulled away. I smacked myself on the forehead realizing that it sounded bad.
"No, I would have stayed no matter what if I didn't realize how much I missed you." I said to her.
"It was so hard because I was going to tell you that I was pregnant and then the same day I was going to tell you, I lost it and then you broke up with me." Stacie said.

"I feel so terrible, I thought breaking up with you was for the best but the whole time I was in my classes all I could think about was you, all I could write about was you, every thing I saw reminded me of you so I went to my dean and told him I was dropping out and then when I was packing up my dorm there was a mysterious letter that was sent to me. I opened it up and saw the ultrasound picture fall out with an explanation about everything that happened and how you waited for the perfect moment to tell me and then you lost the baby and you have been depressed ever since." I said as I pulled her to me.

"Sammy would come up here and drag me into the shower to try to wake me up but I would never wake up because I didn't want to, I wanted to be in my happy dream of me, you and our baby." Stacie said as tears started to fall down her face again. I pulled her onto my lap and let her cry into my shirt.
"I never stopped loving you and I'm going to make up for breaking your heart and not being here for you when you lost our baby." I said which I heard her cry more and then looked up at me and kissed my lips.
"I never stopped loving you either." Stacie said. I smiled and wiped the tears that were falling out of her blood shot green eyes and kissed her cheeks.
"And I'm going to see you every day because Matt and them said I can join Avenged if I be your prince charming and I did wake you from a slumbering sleep." I said which made her laugh.
"I don't think they'll believe you until we both go downstairs." Stacie said as she looked down at the ultrasound and started to cry again.
"The baby would have been born at some point this month." Stacie said. I wrapped my arms around her and laid down on her bed.

"You know, we can always try and make another one because I do want to have a family with you and I also know that I don't want any one else." I said to Stacie which made her cry so much more.
"I wonder what if it was a girl or a boy." Stacie said.
"It doesn't matter right now what it was, all that matters is we'll be able to have more and I'll be able to support you both." I said which made her smile.
"I love you so much." STacie said and kissed my chest.
"I Love you too beautiful, now will you be my princess?" I asked her.
"IS that your way of asking if I'll be your girlfriend again?" STacie asked me. I nodded and she jumped on me and kissed me with so much love and passion.

"I never stopped." STacie said. I picked her up and grabbed her hand in mine.
"Time to let them know the Princess has woke up." I said. Stacie smiled and pulled herself closer to me as we walked out of her room. Everyone was downstairs laughing and goofing off.

"Oh I see how it is, partying without me?" Stacie said which made everyone turn and look at her.
"THE PRINCE HAS WAKENED THE PRINCESS WITH TRUE LOVES KISS!" jimmy yelled as he ran up the stairs to pick STacie up and throw her over his shoulder.
"Put my woman down James." I said as Stacie giggled. Zack came up to me and patted me on the back.

"I knew if I mailed you that ultrasound picture and stuff you would come back, plus Jimmy told me you were miserable up there any way." Zack said.
"Thank you, I'm never going to hurt your sister that way ever again. I promise you." I said as I watched Stacie laugh and joke around with everyone. I'm glad I was the one who gave her, her fairy tale ending.
