The World Will Never Be The Same

chapter 11

Alex's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     The grief I felt was different than anything I had ever felt before. When my mother died, myind flooded with anger. I was mad at the world and blamed everyone for her death, especially myself. With John's death, I felt numb. It felt like I had just dived underwater, blocking out the world. I couldn't hear or see anything. Then Thomas grabbed my shoulder and I snapped out of it. "Hey. Come on." Thomas led me and Peggy out of the room and outside.
     Peggy was a wreck. She was sobbing hysterically on Thomas' shirt. I sat there, tears streaming down my face, staring at nothing. It was so surreal. I couldn't believe that john, my long lost best friend, was dead. Then the panic attack came.
     It started with me pacing nervously across the room. I finally sat down, but began to shake. I could feelyself slipping away from reality as I began to sob. I felt Thomas' arms wrap around me. "Its okay, let it all out," he whispered. I slowly drifted back into reality as I sobbed into Thomas' chest. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep on his lap.

Peggy's POV
-----------------------------------------------------------

     My heart broke as I heard the monitor go flat. I felt my stomach drop. A sob crawled upy throat and I couldn't hold it in any longer. I sobbed on Thomas as he led us out of the room. I cried for what seemed like forever, until my sobs turned into sniffles. I looked over at Alex. He was pacing the floor, practically running up and down the hallway.
     "Alex, calm down," I said, forgetting my sorrow for a moment. He sat down, but began to shake uncontrollably. Thomas comforted him as he let out horrible sobs. Finally, he fell asleep, exhausted from his sobs like a small child.
     "Let's go to the car," said Thomas, a few tears running down his own face. He picked up Alex and we began to walk to the car. "Get some sleep," he said placing Alex in the front seat and gesturing for me to get in the back, "you look like you need it." I climbed into the back seat and soon drifted off to sleep.

Wow two chapters in one day!?! This is short but I wanted to be in a better spot to start next time. And I was bored.
