In his pain he finds some semblance of clarity. A voice whispering between the screaming and the breaking of his heart. Even though the tears streaming down his face are being washed away by the rain the curl of his bottom lip and how his chin dimples can't be hidden. His fathers face flashes in his head. His double dying on the ground torn apart by nightmares. Gansey never deserved a death like this. Never. Seeing him so broken breaks a part of him that had just started healing.
He holds his brothers body against his chest, his heart is hammering so hard against his bones it hurts. His other arm finds Blue and pulls her into his side.
Ronan hears the Orphan Girl again. Her tiny, frail voice cracking with agony in Latin inside his head. When he can finally stop the racking sobs that shake his shoulders he looks around, wild and panicked.
"Cabeswater." He starts to move. "We aren't far. Hurry. We have to get him to Cabeswater." He didn't know why all he knew was with every breath and beat of his heart he felt the urgent need to take Gansey there. To shove his hands in the earth that was full of magic and make a promise as Adam had if they would fix this. Maybe he could dream something to fix him.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! "
He was gone. Gone. Gone. Gone. Ronan was driven by the need to act and the poisonous anger and pain pumping through his veins. If he stayed in that spot he wasn't sure he could move again. When his world fell apart Gansey was there. He didn't know if he could exist in a world where Gansey didn't.
That very thought doubled him over and he fumbled to find his phone. Tucking his head under the hood of the yellow jacket he put the phone into his ear.
"K. I need you. Hurry. I need you. He's dead." Ronan gave no time for his boyfriend to get a word in edgewise. "We hit water and skidded off the road. We hit him. There is so much fucking blood. Gansey....he's gone. I need you. K...hurry."
