The Fire

Paul

It had been five months and I was looking at Finnmark. I saw he looked sad.

"You get to go home."

I was given my stuff back and I found Finn's necklace. I put it on. He had got himself another one. We were on our way back to my house when he started talking.

"Dad, I miss you. I wish you would have told me that you were hurt and didnt speak before. I now understand why you understand me and always have. I will be staying with you until Dad Richard gets back from working with Emagrate."

I noticed he started crying and I had a bad feeling about this. "Finnmark, watch the road."

He looked at me just long enough. He looked up and I was looking at a driver on the wrong side of the road. We were hit.

I woke up and we were upside down. I was able to get free and get out. I then went to try to get my son out. I did call for help. I was having trouble getting him out. Help came and they freed him. I went with them.

I did realize I had a bad cut on my head and another from my wrist to my elbow. I had to have 10 staples in my head and 40 stitches in my arm from wrist to my arm. Finn was critical condition and not breathing on his own. We lost him once. I sat next to him and cried.

I found Shields next to me. "Dad, I am so sorry for saying that you were not my dad. You are and you right I should not quit. I love you Dad.

"I love you too and forgive you Shields."

"You spoke! Your back!"

"Yes, can you watch him please?"

"Yes, I can."

I asked Shields if I could borrow her car and she let me. I was deemed able to drive. I called Tillery and Everett and told them everything. They said that they would make sure Shields got her car back. I went home and got some of my things and got back in my own car and left.

I found myself on Flake's doorstep. I knocked and he answered. "HI, how are... What happened to you. Paul, are you OK?"

"Finnmark, was taking me home and he was crying and driving. A wrong way driver hit us. We end upside down. I got 40 stitches and 10 staples. He is in critical condition. The driver was driving drunk and died on impact."

At that moment his phone went off and he looked at it. He showed me and it was on the crash."Flake, you might want to see if this is true." said Till.

Till walked out to where we were and took one look at me. "Till, it is all true."

"You look like a mess."

"I see that."

Till decided to text Richard. He had no luck convincing to come home. I was sad.
