Ethan's POV

Mommy and Daddy left for work, so they left Zac in charge, since Julia's with Hunter. I walked into Zac's room, to tell him he's in charge. I opened the knob, and screamed. "Zac!" I screamed, and ran up to my big brother. He was sleeping, and there was red stuff around him. I looked over at Isabella, who was crying. I found Zac's phone in his back pocket, and thought about what to do with it. I thought hard, and remembered something Mommy told me.

Mommy held out the phone, and said, "Ethan, this is a phone. When there are emergency's, you dial 9-1-1 and then call me and Daddy. On every phone in the house, Press 1 for me, 2 for Daddy, 3 for Julia and 4 for Zac.

I grabbed the phone, and dialed 911. After some rings, a lady answers. "Hello 911 what's your emergency?" The lady said. "Um…I'm 3 years old and my big brother is on his floor, with his eyes closed, and there's a knife next to his hand and theres red stuff near it." I explain. The lady gasps, and says, "Your 3?" "Yeah." I answer. "Ok, your brother must've passed out, and there's blood near him. We'll be right there. What's your name?" she says. "Ethan Goldsworthy." I answer. "Ok, we'll tell your parents." And she hung up.

Julia came running to the door, and gasped. "Oh my gosh what happened?" Julia yelled. "I don't know." I reply. She holds Isabella, and calls Mom. I hug Julia, staring down at Zac. The ambulance came, and they took Zac.

Julia's POV

I carried Isabella, sitting in the waiting room. Zac attempted suicide. He cut his arm, with Jordan and his initials. "Thank gosh he's alive." I heard Mom tell Dad as they come out of the room. "Yeah." Dad agrees. "Is he ok?" I asked, standing up, handing Isabella over to Mom. "Yeah, he's ok. He's going to wear an arm cast for a while, and is on suicide watch." Dad answers. I walk into the room, to find Zac, pale as ever, laying on the bed, staring into space.

"Zac. Suicide attempt? You could've died." I cry. "So? I'm the least of your worries." Zac whispers. " Zac. You've been all over my mind lately. Since Jor- she died, and you've been depressed, all I want to do to you is comfort you and tell you it's ok. But honestly, I'm sorry." I reply, hugging him. "Really?" He asks. "Really." I nod. Ethan came running in, and hugged Zac.

Zac's POV

I sat down at the dinner table, placing Isabella in her high chair. I determined be a better Dad, and I must've scared her when I attempted suicide. I prepared her bottle, and gave it to her. Somewhere, Jordan's watching me. Isabella giggled as I slipped over the milk puddle I dropped. Julia came downstairs, kissed Isabella, and looked over at me.

"Hey, you ok?" Jordan asked. "Yeah just taking care of Bella." I answer. "Cool. Do you think Mom and Dad would let Hunter move in with us? His group home's closing down, and they're going to transfer him somewhere in Ontario." Julia asked. "Sure, they're going to let their 16 year old daughter's boyfriend move in so they live together, compared to their 14 year old son who's already a Dad." I remark. "Is that a no? Oh well, I'm asking." Julia answers, and walks off.

The door rings, and I carry Isabella and open it. "Sup Alex!" I greet. Isabella giggles, and Alex smiles. "Hey guys. Guess what!" Alex cheers. "What?" I ask, guiding him in. "Well, I met a girl, and we're dating now!" Alex cheers. I can guess he's happy he's not gay. "Nice! What's her name?" I ask. "Diana. She's hot!" Alex answers. "Good for you dude. Well, there's one girl for now that I'm going to dedicate my life to." I say. "Zac! Forget Jordan!" Alex yelled. "What? Now I'm talking about Isabella." I reply. "Oh." Alex whispers. He walks in.

We play video games, and he leaves. During the night, I woke up 5 times to Isabella crying non-stop. I slip into bed again around 6, and wake up 5 minutes later to my alarm clock. I sigh, and curse under my breath as Isabella wakes up crying. I rock her back to sleep. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep in the bathroom brushing my teeth. Julia wakes me up, telling me my bus left already and Julia's going to walk to school. I change, and run to Degrassi. I tuck my yellow uniform shirt and walk up to Alex talking to a girl.

"Oh, Zac, meet Diana." Alex started. "Hi." I mumble. The day a blur, and I fell asleep twice. After school, I stumble into detention for sleeping in math. After an hour in detention, I walk home, and pass out on the couch.

Julia's POV

"Ok so if I help out with house, I can stay?" Hunter asked surprisingly as we followed my parents out the backyard. "Yup. And you and Julia cannot be in the same room at night, at all, understand?" Dad added. "Yes sir." Hunter replied. "Ok then, you can have the extra room, and you'll be like my son." Dad replied. "Thanks Mr. Goldsworthy!" Hunter cheered, and I walked over to Hunter's old group home with him.

We packed his things, and I got a text from Mom.

If you guys want to, go over to Home Depot and get 2 gallons of paint, color is Hunter's choice. YOU guys will paint his room.

I showed this to Hunter, and we went over to Home Depot, got 2 gallons of dark blue paint, and went home. "Ok, this is Nick's old room before he was murdered. Ready to paint?" I asked. "Ready." Hunter answered. We painted his room, and while it was drying, I walked around and fell over the paint. The paint splattered all over me, and I regret wearing white shoes. Hunter laughed, and I smirked.

We decorated his room, and I sat on his bed. Hunter sat next to me, and kissed me. "Aren't the luckiest guy in the world, to be dating you?" Hunter whispered, and I hugged him, and said, "Yes you are. And the luckiest guy is dating the luckiest girl."

Eli's POV

Clare sat next to me, holding my hand. "Thank gosh your cancer is behind us." Clare sighed. "I know. That's a bug relief. And thanks to Adam and Fiona, we don't have to worry about hospital bills. You know what? Adam talked about going on vacation to Florida with us, while I was in treatment." I start. "Great! Let's go to Florida. Lego Land, Disney, Universal, Aquatica, SeaWorld, Bush Gardens, and we could even go to Cocoa beach or Anna Maria Island!" Clare cheered.

After some talking, we're taking a road trip down to Florida, for a week. The kids are going to be out of school during that week too. During Spring Break, when it comes around in March. They moved Spring Break a month early since Clare and I went to Degrassi.

In the morning, Zac called for me. I walked into his room, and saw him staring at Isabella, sleeping. "What's up." I greet. "Dad, I think it would be better…if I gave Isabella up for adoption." Zac announced.

Do you guys think Zac's doing the right thing since Jordan's death? Thanks and review!
