| Harper grabbed onto his hand tightly, trying to stop him from ripping out the IV or anything else harmful. "G-Griffith, ple-please, I'm s-sorry. H-He's gone, Griff, he's g-gone." |

Griffith struggled for a bit more before he slumped back against the bed, raising his shaking hand back to his face as he let out a heartwrenched wail. His chest ached terribly still, but he simply couldn't fight back the inconsolable sobs.
"H-He ca-a-han't, Harper." He cried. |

| "I'm s-sorry. I'm s-so sorry." Harper said quietly, reaching up with a trembling hand to pet his hair, not knowing what else to do. Part of her wished it had been her, that Lawson and her brother were at the house and they were fine. Of course, things still wouldn't be fine but a daughter would have her father and her brother would be able to walk and Griff and Dixon could watch over Darcy and, lord, she felt bad. "I'm s-so sorry." |

As Griffith continued to sob, Dixon began to stir on the coach across the room. The blond sat up, reaching up to wipe tiredly at his face and to try and smooth his bed-head hair. He blinked and looked up to see Harper and Griffith, suddenly...very much sober of sleep.
"Griffith...Harper, what's...what's wrong?" He asked, worried. |

| Harper closed her eyes a little when she heard Dixon, feeling like she was going to throw up again. She took a deep breath and hesitated, going to pull away from Griffith before turning to look at Dixon. "I.. Dixon..." |

Dixon's gaze flitted from Harper then to Griffith, Harper and then back to Griffith. It didn't take him long to realize... between Harper's tone and Griffith's hysterical sobbing, it was obvious. He felt his chest seize and tears well up quickly.
"No... no... please don't say... please don't say it..." He whispered. |

| "Di-Dixon, I'm s-so sorry. I'm so sorry." Harper said quietly and stepped over to him, wishing she could be in three different places at once. |

Dixon shook his head and reached up to cup his hands over his face, all the while bending at the waist, as if to fold in on himself.
"No..." He cried quietly, his whole body shaking. "No, no, no..." |

| Harper sat down by him heavily and rubbed his back, taking a shaky deep breath. She had to hold it together. "I'm so sorry." she said quietly, wishing she could fix things. Wishing it had been different. |

| "I didn't see him...I didn't see him...I didn't say goodbye...he...I...he's gone..." Dixon shook his head still, his cries growing louder, however, still overpowered by Griffith's hysterical cries from the bed. |

| Harper pursed her lips tightly, reaching up wipe tears from her own cheeks quickly, holding Dixon close after putting an arm around him. She didn't know what to do or say or how to make things okay. She didn't want to tell Flora- Flora didn't even KNOW her. |

| Dixon's voice trailed off into quiet cries and he sunk into Harper's grasp. He wasn't sure how to process all of this, all he could really bring himself to do was...cry. |

| Harper trembled as she pet Dixon's hair, staring at the floor. She didn't know what to do. "...I have to tell Flora.." she said quietly. |

Both of the boys almost instantly stopped in their simpering, however, it was Griffith who spoke up first.
"You...you can't...if you tell her...she hates Kasper, she hates you...and now...you just can't, Harper." Griffith said, his voice scratchy from his crying. |

| "T-Then what am I su-supposed to do?" Harper said, her tone a pitch higher and shaking from trying so hard not to cry. "D-Darcy.. I.." |
