I can't hold back these tears, let me cry, they say a man ain't suppose to cry
#Chapter31
Essence readjusted her eyes to the bright light of the room. She opened them fully, slightly glancing around the room. Everyone was there. The people who she thought cared.
"Why?" A fain light voice says. Essence instantly notice the voice, it was Treasure. "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ESSENCE?"
"Chill out treasure, she just woke up, dang sis I missed you" August says pulling her in a hug. Essence stared at them in confusion.
"What did I do?" A clueless Essence asked. The doctor , who was standing in the back took a step forward.
"Essence what's the last thing you remember yourself doing?"
"The last thing I remember..... is uh ....moving in with my aunt, us decorating my room....I don't understand how or why I'm here?"
Everyone stared at each other speechless, no words leaving their mouth, their eyes doing all the talking of how they felt.
"Essence has memory loss, which is common when you've been in a coma for so long, I'd say she doesn't remember anything the last one or two months, don't push her to remember things because it'll cause her frustration"
"Is there anything we could do to help her gain her memory back?"
"Yes, I'll be right back I'm going to go get the list and more information on Essence release date" He says before walking out.
Hennessy pulled Essence in a tight comforting hug. "You don't understand stand how long I've been dying for this hug E"
"I love you" Essence says softly causing everyone to stare at her in surprise.
"I love all of you , where's Keith? And Carson ?"
"I'm calling him" August says calling his phone .
"You know what to do , leave a message , I probably won't check it though" Keith voicemail says. August furrowed his eyebrows together.
"Let me go check in the lobby"
"I'll go with you to get Everyone something to eat" Hennessy says following him out the door.
When they stepped into the hallway they were immediately pushed aside by nurses. Hennessy looked at the body they were pushing causing her to want to throw up.
"A-a August ...... t-that's Keith" Hennessy says, all the color drained from August face as he looked at the body. He instantly ran over to them.
"THIS MY BROTHER! What happened what's -."
"Sir step aside" One of the nurses says pushing August away and hurrying Keith into the room before slamming and locking the door. August sweared loudly, tears falling from his eyes. It was to much for him. His sister had just woken up but doesn't remember things, and his brother was just rushed into the hospital room for god knows what.
Hennessy placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a look full of sympathy. "Let's see can we find out what happened at the desk"
She grabbed his hand and led him back to the lobby. She walked up to the desk. "Hi, wou-"
Hennessy stopped talking, the news catching her attention.
"Car crash on highway 85, both drivers has been rushed to the hospital, both was injured badly and could be in critical condition"
"Hey randy, were they available to identify the bodies of the two men?"
"Yes, one by the name of Keith Powers and the other who were injured worse Myles Conner"
Hennessy slightly shook her head repeatedly in denial of the truth. The picture that popped up on the screen proved the terrifying nightmare.
Hennessy face was pale, everything around her stopping, her heart beat increasing as she stared straight ahead.
A tear escaped her eye as she fell to the ground on her knees, breaking down. She didn't care that everyone was looking at her. It felt as if a piece of her was taken away.
She didn't even know if he was alive or dead, but seeing him unconscious in the flipped over car was enough to have her breaking down.
August gently grabbed her hand and helped her up. He wrapped his arms around her waist tightly letting her cry on his shoulder as he shed a few tears to.
