"i'll wait out here, okay?" momma offers standing outside of hospital room 493. drew nods and grips the vase of flowers tighter and pushes the door open. he stares at poor, colorless abby in her hospital bed from the doorway. he makes his way closer without taking his eyes off of her. she looks so small...
"can i help you son?" drew turns around to see abby's dad starring drew down. "hello, mr. green. i brought flowers for abby, sir," drew says holding the flowers close to his chest. mr. green nods, "she's asleep set them at that table. i'll tell her you came when she wakes up." drew loses his ability to form words so he nods and carefully places the bright daffodils on the table next to abby's sleeping face. her freckles even look pale...
drew nods a goodbye to her father as he walks out of the room into his momma's arms. "she was asleep. i want to go home, momma." momma nods and holds him tight, "okay baby, let's go."
