Warning: Its a short chapter... I'm sorryy!💚
Please.. if your confused or don't know whats going on.. read the previous chapter, thank you.
Me and Michael pull up to Encardo Hospital and I immediately run out of the car and through the sliding doors. I make my way to the front desk and I ask the lady for directions. She says,"I'm sorry. Give me a moment."
I stand there while she types something on a computer. Then she says,"Okay, what can I do for you today ma'am?"
-'My brother.. he's here and he's injured I need to see him please.'
She says,"Okay so your here to visit?" I nod my head and she grabs a fresh roll of blue stickers that say 'visitor' on them.
She asks me for my name and things of that nature so I can get in. She does the same for Michael and she says,"Okay, all set he's on the second floor room 137C.
Michael and I thank her as we make our way to the elevator. Michael tells me its going to be alright and I slowly start to panick a little less..
The elevator says,"Second floor.."
It dings and the metal doors slide open and we head down a hallway reading the numbers in bold on the doors looking for 137C.
Michael says,"Here!" I follow him inside the room and he lets me walk up first. I slide back the blue curtain and I walk through seeing a very hurt Darryl laying in bed.
I rush over to him and I say,'Oh my goodness.. Darryl are you alright? Who did this? What happened?!'
He responds,"Chill out. One question at a time speedy. How did you get here. Where's mom?" I say,'Answer my questions first!'
He says,"Alright, alright. I was coming home from the store and...
"Mom.. I'm back where are you? I brought that cream of wheat you asked for.."
*faint cries*
"Ma! Where are you?" Darryl walks upstairs and he walks into his parents bedroom. He sees Caroline on the ground shaking with a pillow over her face.
Darryl reluctantly removes the pillow from his moms face to see nasty bruses, a bloody nose, and busted lip. "What the hell- mom what happened?" She shakes her head 'no' constantly shaking. Darryl helps her stand up and he looks over seeing shattered picture frames and glass everywhere.
Darryl knew who did this. "Why mom? WHY?!!" She says with a shaky voice,'I-I am s-sorry baby. I r-really am..'
He sighs and says,"You promise if he did it again you'd leave mom. What are you doing?" She shouts/ cries,'Darryl, I'm doing what I can baby. I really am, he helps me.. I can't live without him Darryl baby.. I lo-' Darryl cuts her off by says,"Dammit mom. You "love" him right? No.. you don't- and you know you don't love him. You feel like he's all you have and you want whats best for 'us' his money? I get it mom. Your struggling.. you want him to take care of us.. but- can't you see he's just tearing you down mom? He's trying to suck the life out of you.. can't you see that?"
Caroline just sits there speechless with tears endlessly flowing..
Darryl scoffs,"Exactly.. but guess what mom? I'm not having it. This is the last straw."
He stands up leaving her and he rushes out heading to his car. Caroline shouting to him,'Darryl! Stop. Where are you going!?'
