Just another horrible piece I wanted to make of my OC and Caesar.

Chapter 4: Wants and Should Wants
Horror, terror, fear, inner conflict, pain, confusion – none of those words could explain or describe on their own how Haley felt at that exact moment. Her heart hang heavy in her chest, a dry lump scratched painfully in her throat, her feet anchored themselves deep into the street, and her breathing ceased against her will. 'This can't be happening.' She told herself, but reality was a cruel teacher and a merciless knife against her soul. Everyone around her was blurred and obsolete while she was somehow forced to make a decision that made her heart ache for solace. She hoped, pleaded, and prayed that it was nothing but a nightmare, for her sisters' screams for her father to be okay just to be some trick of the mind, but as the sight of crimson water dripping from her best friend's lips wormed its way into Haley's vision without her permission, she knew even her sick mind couldn't have dreamed up such a revolting thing.
Torn between two unrealistic choices, Haley stood between her bleeding father, who was revealed to be no more than a mortal man as he clutched his de-fingered hand to his chest with endless tears soaking his face, and Caesar, an ape who seemed in terror of his own actions as he hugged his shaking and infant-minded grandfather close, his pleading green eyes boring into Haley's frightened ones. Though she was sure the ape thought her fear was of him, he couldn't have been more wrong – the fear was of her, herself, and the fact that she even dared to hesitate about whom to console. She wasn't an ape, Caesar has taken it upon himself to mention this on several occasions, she was a human, and her father and twin sister were her family, not Will and his. How could she?
And so, torn between what she wanted and what she should want, the latter hanging more heavy of her conscience, she closed her eyes and turned away from her friend. In that one, simple action, it felt as if her heart had been crushed, but still she forced her heavy legs forward and moved to her father's side, shakily helping him to the ambulance when they finally arrived, with Alice, her sister, following close behind and her back remaining turned to the solemn face of the one person- ape that she didn't want to lose.
If she had known that, by the time she returned home, that Caesar would be locked away somewhere where she'd never be able to see him and apologize, even if Will tried to tell her otherwise, she might have chosen to follow a different path, the one she actually wanted to follow and would not have regretted immediately.
