I take it all back. Every word. I can't explain how much remorse I feel. "I put him in here" I whimpered under all of the tears " it's all my fault". "Hey are you ok". The old lady sat next to me was crying too but not as bad as me. "Have you ever done something horrible and you hate yourself for it" I asked her in a shy tone. "Trust me I have been around a long time I'm sure I have many times". "Katie Hale!" The nurse called. I got up out of my seat and walked slowly towards my brothers hospital room. I opened the door and whispered "Derek, are you there? Are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm right here." I took a few steps into the room and sat on the armchair next to the bed. "I'm sorry. I take it all back. Everything back. I..." "Stop, just stop. I'm ok, seriously I'm ok. Don't worry." I felt terrible. I couldn't hold my tears back any more. I broke out crying. Derek sat up and beckoned me over. He hugged me so tightly and I laid my head on his shoulder. "Do you have school tomorrow?" I lifted my head up. "No. I told my teachers that I can't go because you're here, I can't be at the loft on my own and we take care of each other so I'm gonna stay here with you."
