Dark clouds

The sun was gone, hidden beneath the dark clouds. Rain poured and made a pattering sound against my windows. Lightning struck only but a few miles away. The lights flickered a few times until they finally went off.

Dark and quiet. I sat alone in the living room. I made towards the shelf for my candles to have just a bit of light.

Suddenly a crack of lightning shone through the windows and the rain began to fall even heavier than before.

"My husband, he should be home by now, even with the storm." I thought to myself looking down at my gold wedding band.

Memories flash through my head, the day we met, our first date, when he proposed, and lastly our wedding day. How time flew these memories which only seem like yesterday are years gone.

After some time the power cuts back on but, the storm is still going. I pick up my phone to call him. No answer.

This is odd, he always answers. I call again. Still no answer. Much to my dismay, the worst situations pop into my head.

No no, he's fine he's just held up by the storm that's all. I tell myself hoping to calm my nerves.

I sit near our cat, Persie, short for Persephone. My husband has always been quite fond of greek mythology. Over the years I've grown to like it as well.

I and Persie sit on the love seat dozing off waiting for him to arrive. We wait for hours until we eventually fall asleep.

A knock on the front door suddenly wakes us both up. I quickly get up and answer the door. Only it wasn't who I was expecting.

At our front door stood one of his co-workers, one of his mentees. Drenched in rain the poor boy stood there sniffing.

"Come on in, let's get you out of the cold." I grab the young man's hand and try to lead him in the house to warm him up, only he doesn't budge.

"I- I can't. I have to tell you something-" before he can finish my cellphone starts ringing. I excuse myself and go answer it leaving the front door wide open.

"Hello, are you (Y/n)." The lady speaks her voice is unknown to me.

"Yes, that is me. How may I help you"

"I'm sorry to inform you but, your husband he's dead. He dies-" her words blur out as my head starts ringing and tears begin to form in my eyes.

I collapse to the floor, the phone still in hand. My tiny little world shattered with only four words.

"Hello? Hello, (Y/N) are you there? Hello?" The lady speaks her voice filled with a slight bit of concern.

"Y-yes, I'm here. Can you continue?" I stutter over my words hands still trembling from this heart-wrenching news.

"Okay, your husband has passed. He was struck by a hydroplaning car while protecting his student. He currently xxx hospital room 658." As she says this I turn my head to the guilt-stricken boy after had completely forgotten about him.

"I- I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! If I had j-just" the young man screams out his apologies barely able to form a coherent sentence.

Somehow his visible pain temporarily made me forget of my own. I stand up and walk over to the boy and embrace it.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." He stops crying but only for a second then begins to sob harder onto my shoulder.

We stand there for at least twenty minutes before the young man finally calms down. I pull away and smile at the boy.

"It's not your fault, now let's go to the hospital." I smile weakly, grab an umbrella and lock the door as I lead him to my car.
