Chapter 103: (Helena's Point Of View!!)

*5 months later! (December 2007)*

 My tour lasted longer than I thought. I did come home 3 weeks after the tour started but Marshall was of course always high so I decided to go back. It’s been a month since I have seen Marshall and my daughters. Hailie's birthday is in a couple of days so that’s why I came home. I stopped at Kim's to pick the girls up. I went up to the door and knocked. Kim opened it.

"Hey Kim. I came to pick up the girls." I said.

"Hey Helena. Sure. They missed you a lot come on in." She said then let me in.

I told her about the tour and I apologized for leaving for so long. I went and looked for the girls.

"Hails? Laney? Whitney?" I said as I walked down the hall way.

 All I heard was them start running towards me. The moment they saw me they quickly ran over to me.

"Helena!" Alaina screamed as she hugged me.

 They all came over to hug me. They started to cry.

 "Hey, hey. What’s wrong?" I said as I pulled back to look at them. I wiped away there tears.

"We missed you so much Helena." Hailie said.

"You girls have no idea how much I missed you girls. I am so sorry for leaving you all." I said as I embraced all of them.

"How about we go home?" I asked the girls.

"Yes please." Whitney said.

We got all their stuff together then the girls said bye to Kim. We got into the truck then started to head home.

"Did Dad come and see you girls?" I asked them as I drove.

"Yeah he came. Like 3 times a week." Alaina replied.

 "That’s good." I said as I smiled at them through my front mirror.

While I was away I talked to Marshall a lot on the phone but he sounded the same. I am really worried that he got even worse. We pulled into the drive way of the house. We got everything out of the truck then walked up to the front door. I unlocked it then we went inside. Paul was sitting at the dining table.

"Hey Paul. How was he?" I asked him.

 "The same. He's upstairs right now. Hey if you don't mind can I get a quick bite? I was waiting for you to get home." Paul said.

"Of course Paul. Thanks for waiting, and thanks for watching him. It mean a lot." I said. Paul nodded then I headed upstairs.

 Marshall wasn't on the bed when I walked into the bedroom so I knew he was in the bathroom probably getting high. I knocked on the door.

"Marshall. I am home. So are the girls." I said. He didn't say anything.

"Marshall. Open the door." I said.

 Again nothing. I tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Marshall! Open the door!" I screamed.

 I ran to the closet to look for the bathroom key. Once I got it I ran to the bathroom door and started to try and open it. I finally opened it then walked in. I saw Marshall on the floor. I ran over to him.

"Marshall! Marshall wake up!" I said as I turned him around and put his head in my arms.

 He wasn't waking up or moving. I started to cry so much.

 "Marshall!" I screamed.

 I felt frozen. All I could do was cry and hug his lifeless body.

 "Paul! Paul!" I screamed.

 Hailie came running through the bathroom door.

"He left. What’s wro-" she said then stopped talking once she saw her father just laying down in my arms.

 "Hailie. Call 911." I said calmly as I looked up at her.

She quickly ran out without saying a thing. I heard her talking to someone on the phone. I just sat on the floor crying and holding Marshall's body.

"Marshall please. Please don't leave me. I am sorry that I left you here alone but please don't leave me." I said as I brushed my hand along his cheek.

The ambulance got here pretty fast. They came up then started putting Marshall on the gurney. Caroline and Julie had just gotten home.

"Can I go with him?" I asked the paramedics.

They said yes. I left the girls with Julie and Caroline. Once we were in the ambulance the whole ride to the hospital all I did was cry and pray.
