Dr. Jordan
"What should we do now?"
We have been sitting together in the field for what feels like hours now but the sun has not come up yet.
"We could go back to the house and sort this out with Jamie, I suppose."
We stand and head back to the house.
"Jamie?" Your raw voice echoes through the house.
He does not answer and you begin searching the house, swiftly running through each room.
I meet you back in the kitchen, both of us panting.
"Outside maybe?"
We rush out the door and to the barn.
You reach it before me and let out a piercing shriek as soon as you get a glance at the inside.
Jamie. His feet not touching the ground.
"No!" The sound is so painful it delivers a deep blow into my chest. You run up to him, grabbing at his feet.
"Help me, Simon! Please, help me!"
I grab your arms, "Grace—"
You wrench yourself from my hold, "No! Don't tell me to leave him— don't do that! Help him down, please... PLEASE!"
Your eyes are so shot with tears that I can hardly see the blue in your eyes anymore. All that is on your face now is pain and I want more than anything to wipe it away and take it on myself for you. Your screams of anguish drown out every sound and I hardly know if it is you anymore or if something absolutely terrible has possessed you to make such animal noises.
I grab a hatchet and a stool and step up to cut the rope down. As soon as he lowers, you drop to the floor beside him, brushing the hair from his face and yanking at the rope that holds his neck.
"Jamie, oh you poor thing. Jamie, dear—Jamie oh my no no no!"
You do not stop crying, not for a moment, you sob continuously with nothing to stop your pain. My head hammers and I am itching to hold you so tightly in my arms if to just absorb any amount of hurt from you that I can.
But such a thing is not possible in this world.
I hold you in my arms while your wails shake me to my core.
