MITCHELL

My head hurt so bad ... I woke up because of my alarm, I went directly to the shower room ... I was fixing myself when I heard Aileen screams outside.. So I rush over to her

"hey, what's wrong??" she look at me with tears in her eyes ... "P.Peter just texted me ... He uhm ... He had called me multiple times last night .. And ... and uhm ... I was not able to answer since were both drunk .. So uhm..."

I ran to my room and check my phone ... it's on silent mode and I can see I missed 100 calls from Peter .. With multiple messages ...

Mitchell, I have been calling both of you... come quick to the hospital. Mr Baldwin just have an heart attack on or way home. Quick!

I grab my keys right away and went to my car, Aileen follow me and we drove to the hospital ... I saw Peter standing outside the emergency room.

"how is he?? What happened?" I asked but Peter just hug me ... at that moment I have a small understanding of what had happened ... Aileen went inside the emergency room and saw a curtain that was closed with a nurse standing outside ... I followed her over and when the nurse open the curtain ... I saw Mr Baldwin lying on the bed lifeless ...

I held him and my tears suddenly flows nonstop ... "Mr Baldwin??? Wh..why? ... wh.what happened?? N.NO ... WAKE UP! PLEASE !! WAKE UP !!!!!!!!!!" I cried so hard that I can no longer control myself ... I feel weak, he was there when I am starting up... He was there when I am in my darkest moments of my life ... he help me in any way ... that is why it hurt so much now that's his gone ...

Peter just hug me tight ... "he told me not call you before he lose his breath .. He said he want you to rest properly tonight ... but I can't ... I know how much you want to know so I tried to call you... Mitch I'm sorry"

I feel weak ... I don't know what to do ...

"Go home, and rest ... I'll take care of the rest ... Mr Baldwin specially request to be cremated ... I will take care of the funeral ... I'll just call you when everything is ready" That was Peter, he also instructed Aileen to take me home ...

But instead I went to the pediatric ward ... I went to a private room ... where Elias was staying ... Elias was my son ... he's 9 years old ..
