*CAMERONS POV*

[ listen to either Unsteady - X Ambassadors or Drift - Emily Osment ]

The doctor was coming our way.

I get up immediately.

"I'm so sorry. He couldn't be saved. We did the best we could do.. His heart failed. I'm sorry for your loss." The doctor says.

That's when my world came crashing down. I leaned on Rachel's shoulder as I cry. I cried for the longest time. Not only was I crying, but Rachel and Evelyn were too.

"Mommy, where is Xavier?" Evelyn asks.

I turn to her as there were tears in my eyes. I was waiting for Rachel to answer.

"He's in Heaven." She says, with a crack in her voice.

I turn back around as I get up mad.

"WHERE IS MY SON!? I NEED TO SEE MY SON!" I say, yelling and crying.

By now, nurses are holding me back.

"Please, let me see my son.." I say, in tears.

A doctor nods as he escorts me to a room. After I have been calmed down, of course. But I didn't care.. I just needed to see my boy. He opens the door and there laid my lifeless son. You would think, that your own son would see you dead first.. No. He won't even get to experience graduation, college, love, or marriage!! His lips were ice cold, pale skin, and dried blood along his body. I grab his hand while I cry.

"Daddy! Daddy! Look at this!" Xavier says.

I watch in amazement on how he throws the baseball up in the air and catches it in his glove.

"Nice job, buddy!!" I say.

"I learned from you." He says, smiling.

I played throughout my life... Just not in high school. I made varsity, of course. But that's when my shoulder popped out and the doctor said I could never play ever again. At least not baseball. I tried basketball.. That was okay. I just liked baseball better.

"Okay, so I'm going to throw you this and you line up with the plate and hit it." I say.

He nods.

I throw the ball and he hits it right where the sun doesn't shine..

Xavier was on the ground laughing hysterically.

"Sorry, dad!"

"Ha ha ha, funny funny." I say.

Later on we were on the couch watching a baseball game.

"Daddy, do you think I could make it big one day?" Xavier asks.

"I believe you can do anything." I say

"Good because when I get older, I want to go state to state to play major league!!" Xavier says.

"You are just a boy, you gotta grow up first." I say.

He chuckles while nodding.

"Just wait and see, dad. I'm going to be big."

- end of flashback -

I hold his hand longer, crying.

"I should of saved you, I should of stood by your side! I could of watched you. I could of prevented this... But you are dead now because of me! It should of been me, not you!" I cry harder then ever now, as I continue.. "You had a whole life to live and now you won't even get to see that. I can't help but feel this is all my fault. It's all my fault.. Now you won't even get to see life. I love you, buddy. See you soon."
