Love Song For the Devil (BoyXboy ) 2nd Series

17. John Denver: Leaving On a Jetplane.

I stood at the hospital halls for a long time cause I couldn't get the strength to face my dad or anyone for that matter. Matthew was in the nurses office getting the prescription and bills while tristan sat five feet away from me knowing I didn't want to talk with anyone. My blood went cold when I saw Jenna's mom and dad run through the doors towards me.

" Ethan." she cried and caught my shoulder. I shivered.

" Is she? Is she ok?" she whimpered. " She's okay right. It's not true right?"

" I-.." I stammered, " I...I...."

Her dad came and caught her.

" Marlene...Marlene, let's meet the doctor." he whispered and gave me a pitiful look.

" It's not true." she cried. Tears spiling from her eyes, she hugged me as if clutching to the last straw she has on her daughter, her best friend. But what would I say? How should I say that her daughter died saving my sister? How should I say I couldn't save her? I wasn't there... I could have done something.

My body trembled and at last the dam broke and I cried.

" I am sorry." I cried. " I am sorry." I hugged her back.

Her mom just cried louder holding my jacket tightly. I could feel her tremble in agony.

He dad sobbed at the side clutching his forehead. He sat down at the nearby seat and cried. I cried stammering 'sorry' over and over.

" My Jenna..." cried her mom.

I felt a warm hand over my forehead and Tristan hugged me as her mom let me go and hugged her husband as they both cried. I hugged Tristan tight as I let out sobs knowing I would never meet my best friend ever again. He hugged me tight and whispered 'sorry' to me again and again.

Her parents had been in the doctor's office for a while with my dad. I sat with Tristan as he had his arms around me.

" Are you calmed down?" he asked. I nodded.

" I am sorry, Ethan." he whispered. I sighed. I wished this was a nightmare for thousand times.

" I don't wanna see her." I said. " I can't..."

" I know, Ethan." he said. I needed to get away from here. I felt like I couldn't breathe.

" Ethan.." I heard someone call from the end of the hallway and saw Damien standing panting for air. His coat in his hand, looking at me with disbelief.

I didn't know what got to me but I ran towards him and hugged him as tears flowed down my eyes.

He caught me and let out a long breath.

" Oh god, Ethan." he whimpered and cried with me. " Oh god."

" She's gone, Damien. She's gone." I cried, " It's my fault. It's my fault."

" No,No its not baby." he whispered. " It's not your fault."

" I should have just not let them go." I cried. " I should have made them stay inside."

" Shhh..baby.. I know... but it's not your fault ever." he said, " You couldn't have stopped."

" I want her back." I whimpered. " I want her back so we can go back to college together. I can't do it without her."

" I know.. I know.." he said as he massaged my back.

" Ethan.."

I turned back to see shocked Tristan and my dad emerging from the office with Jenna's parents.
