Beautiful Tragedy

Part 27

The moment the door closed Kit closed his eyes letting his tears fall. He gasped as the reality drowned into him. He just lost his legs. He won't be able to move anymore. He let out a muffled sob as he tried to move his legs but couldn't. He felt absolutely numb. It was like his lower part was completely detached from him.

He knew his life was messed up but never ever he thought something like his would happen something so tragic. He was just 16, he had his whole life ahead of him and this happened. He let his tears fall when he realized his life was most probably over. He won't be able to do anything anymore. He won't be able to talk, to run, to play. He won't be able to do what his heart desires. He was completely dependent now.

He wished he would have died instead of this. He didn't regret saving Max not even for a second but it would have been better if he died than this. At least he wouldn't have felt completely useless. For the first time in days Kit ached for his mother, he wished she was there to hold him. To tell him everything will be okay, that this was just a horrible nightmare but when he blinked his eyes, when he tried to move his leg and failed he knew it wasn't a nightmare. It was a tragic reality.

He curled up on himself and let his sobs rang through the hollowness of his room, to consume the emptiness of his heart. He closed his eyes and prayed for God to take him, or for it to be a nightmare because he wasn't strong. He wasn't strong to fight this.

Ming stayed outside letting his tears fall as he looked at Kit breaking down. He ached to be there and hold him in his arms. To comfort him, to assure him that they will make it but he couldn't. He wasn't able to do anything.

"Ming let's go home sweetie" Mom placed her hand over his shoulder but he shook his head.

"I'm not going anywhere mom, I'm not leaving him" Ming whispered eyes glued on Kit who was shaking with sobs.

"Ming he needs some space" mom insisted.

"I know, I'm not going in unless he asks me to but I'm not leaving him completely alone. Please mom" Ming looked at her for a second before turning his gaze back to Kit. He heard his mom sigh before she turned his around and kissed his forehead.

"Call me if you need anything" She said and Ming nodded. He saw them leaving before he looked back at Kit and saw how he was trying to move his leg. His face tear streamed. Ming's own tears fell as he slid down the wall not able to see anymore.

He knew he has to be strong for Kit, and he will be.
