CHAPTER FOUR

-One day has passed since Celeste's procedure. Toby is scheduled to visit her again. Toby does not know really anything that happened since the procedure.-

My eyelids slowly rose open to the sun rays slipping me from my slumber. My mind wandered peacefully- until the concept of time crept back to me. I turned to my clock on the nightstand and looked at the time.

Eleven o' clock AM.

Oh no. I overslept! Quickly, I shot out of bed and rushed to shower. "Celeste is probably wondering if I am okay. I promised to be there at nine this morning to take her out into the open air!"

After my quick shower, I got dressed, combed my hair, and ran out of my bedroom door.

"Toby sweetheart!" my mother called hastily. Her words seemed to crack in her voice. I quickly walked to the kitchen to find my mother and father waiting for me. "What is it mom and dad?"

A tension passed through the air. Something was on my mother and father's mind at the moment. Together they sighed. "We have to go visit Celeste together! Get into the car. Come on!"

Together we quickly got in the car and began our drive to the hospital. A long silence passed through the air, until I hastily spoke up. "Mom, dad, what happened?"

"Sweetie, we have to tell you something." my mother's voice cracked. She seemed to be breaking down quickly. "Toby,"

"What is it?"

"Celeste has passed."

All things on my mind went silent.

My mind went completely blank. I tried to speak, but no words seemed to come out.

"N-n- no. That isn't p-possible. She was doing so we-"

"Her sickness took a turn for the worse this morning. They did everything they could, but it was too overwhelming for her. She was just too sick...."

"That isn't possible!" My blood rushed faster. My heart pounded in anger.

"Toby, we are going their right now!"

"That... THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE!" I slammed my fists on the seat. This couldn't be happening. It just...... couldn't.

I no longer acted myself now. What seemed like gallons of tears streamed down my face. I took multiple shuddered breaths before speaking once again. "I want to see her right now! I want to take her outside and play a game! Just let me do it for one last time, please!"

Our car pulled into the hospital. I slammed the door and stormed in. My parents quietly and solemnly came in behind me. I ran down the hallway to the ICU. When finally finding her room, I had no access available to get in. Doctors, nurses, and other staff were swarming in every direction. A nurse pulled me out of the way. "Toby dear, I am so sorry.... You must stay out of the way."

The nurse sat me down on a nearby bench and remained in a tight hug around me. My parents quickly sat beside me and the nurse. I was now being hugged in every direction. Every ounce of anger was pumping through my veins, not helping this situation. I could blow any minute..... Finally unable to take the pressure, I jerked away. "Please, get away! I don't need a hug right now. Only from Celeste will I ever get a hug from right now!"

"Toby!" my parents cried.

"I need time to be alone."

Angrily, I stormed off of the floor and exited the hospital. I didn't know what else to do but run- to run from the havoc.

I just ran for what seemed forever and ever, not stopping, even for a second.
