August 5, 1940

He entered the hospital running and panting. He saw blurry figures of people walking around. He ran towards the desk wiping his teary eyes "How may I help you sir?" The woman in front of the desk asked . "I'm looking for Mr. and Mrs. Murphy." He nervously asked hoping to get good new out of them. "Can I take your name?" She calmly asked. "Lee. Lee Bonneville." He replied "May I know your relation with Mr. and Mrs. Murphy?"

"I'm Emily Murphy's Brother."

She paused for awhile and looked at him worriedly.

"Is everything alright?" He asked. He started to feel that something isn't right here. "Miss? What happened?" He banged on the table causing her to flinch. "Mr. and Mrs. Murphy passed away minutes ago."

Lee suddenly felt nauseous, feeling sick to the stomach. He leaned on the desk and buried his face onto his hand, letting his tears roll down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry sir." It was just a few hours ago when they left the house. Now their gone. "This is my fault." He whispered with a shaky voice.

He wiped up his tears and looked up at the receptionist with red puffy eyes. "Monica Murphy." He suddenly mentioned.

"Excuse me sir?"

"Monica! Where is she?"

She checked the list of patients inside the hospital and saw that Monica Murphy is in the hospital. "She's here." She answered. "Take me to her!"

"Yes sir, I'll just notify the doctors."

They walked all the way to Monica's room. Lee being too scared to even know what had happened to his beloved niece. The poor girl was only 9 years old. This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for that emergency.

"She's in a induced coma. Mild head injury." The doctor stated. Lee paused leaning on the door reminding himself to take in what he'll see inside. "I'm ready." He held the door knob, his sweaty palms preventing him to get a good grip, opened it and felt the cold air touching his skin.

He was heartbroken when he saw her laying down the bed with multiple tubes attached to her. He was about to burst out crying but told himself to take it in.

"I'm very sorry sir. I'll leave you for now."

"Monica." He whispered, walking towards the bed. He sat on the chair beside Monica's bed and took her hand, holding it tightly. He started crying his eyes out griping on the bedsheets. "This is all my fault!" He yelled.

Now that John and Emily is gone. He'll be the one who'll look after Monica from now on. He would be a single father for Monica. He loves Monica so much. He never felt what it's like to be a father, other than taking care of Monica for his sister. Lee doesn't have a family. Just his sister's family. If he lost Monica...Then there would nothing left.

He sat there and it felt it took him several hours just crying his heart out. There was no one he could run to. He stared at the clock hand moving every second. Every tick of the hand every beep of Monica's heart.

A knock on the door woke him up from his deep thoughts. Thinking it was a doctor coming to check on Monica, he walked towards the door and opened it.

"Oh. Hello Lee." The man in front of the door greeted him with a smile. "Trevor." Lee looked at him with bitter eyes. "What are you doing here?" He asked scornfully "Oh I'm just here to visit my niece. It's not like you're her only uncle." He smugly  smiled at him. "Your brother died."

"I know." Trevor replied. He looks like he just doesn't give shit that his brother died. Lee having red puffy eyes from all the crying. It has been only a couple of hours until this guy showed up. Not giving a damn, of course. "I know what you're thinking. But my brother would rather rest that to suffer in this cruel world."
