I woke up to being shook violently and Aki's heavy sobs. It scared me a bit and I woke up pretty fast. I sat up "W-what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I thought someone was in the house. " You have to take me to the hospital!" He pulled on my arm as he sobbed, I didn't hesataite to get up and run out to the car in my pajama pants. I went as fast as I can to the hospital, he didn't even wait for me to get into a full stop before getting out and running inside... God- I have the worst feeling right now... I parked and went inside. I knew what room he was in. I can hear his sobbing and yelling all the way down the halls... at this point, I knew what happened. I looked at him from the door way holding his cold pale daughter. It made my stomach turn... Dante was there too. The doctor and a few nurses... I couldn't watch... I stood by the door. So much guilt rushing over me. Weighing so much on my shoulders I felt no taller then 4 foot. Because of me, he didn't get to spend time with his daughter like a family should... I'm the reason Dante and Aki split up like they did... I know I fuck people's lives up. But this was. More then even I can handle. . .

I was invited to the funeral. I felt like a red spot on a plank paper. So out of place... Dante was on the far side. Farthest away from me and Aki. I couldn't look at her small casket. I remember her scared face when I robbed her dad. I robbed her of her time with both her dad's too... and her time to see Aki before she left. The guilt was so heavy on me. I can't even fucking look at myself in the mirror the same... Aki sobbed and sobbed for what felt like months. Years. In only minutes. Her head stone had her short year she lived on it. Her birthday that was only a week away... and her name... roses covered the stone. It was her Favorite flower... Then, after many hours of All not wanting to leave. He's cried so much he was too tried to stay our anymore... we went home. It was quite. I wish I could help him feel better. I wish I didn't feel this guilt. He went to our bedroom. Then closed the door... I got a drink before going in too. I cuddled him in bed. He cried silently for another hour before finally sleeping... I love him... but, I'm hurting him so much....
