the room was quiet except for the quiet sobs from tbnrmom and the faint beeping of preston's heart monitor.

preston loved the silence, rob hated it.

he felt so bad. he couldn't save the one he loved most.

the doctor walked in, momma frags told her they already said their goodbyes.

she said they might want to leave.

rob disagreed.

he held preston's hand the whole time. listening with his eyes closed as silent tears slipped down his cheeks.

"i'm so sorry for your loss."

she left the room, and rob couldn't open his eyes. he didn't want to embrace the silence.

sometimes quiet is violent.
