He was dead and it was all my fault. All I could do was cry. I looked over to see Troy’s eyes start to tear up. He sniffed and the tears disappeared. He walked over to me and cried.

I tried to talk but the only thing that came out were scream of anger.

“Why him, he never did anything to  deserve this” Troy whispered.

That was the last thing I remembered until I woke up the

next morning. Troy and My mom were sitting in the corner

asleep. Had they been here all night?

The creek of the door grabbed my attention as I watched the doctor enter the room. It also seemed to grab mom and Troy;s attention as they jolted awake.

“How are you today Mrs. Kaitlyn” he said holding a clipboard that held my test results.

“I’m okay, I guess” I replied as tears ran down my face.

“Your test results came back clear you are free to go” he replied.


“Can I say goodbye” I asked.


“Yes you may. I'm sorry for your loss and if there is anything I can do for you and your family let me know” he replied as I got out of the bed and walked toward the door.

I went to the room where Jake laid.His eyes were closed and the machine were no longer beeping. I went over to the side of the bed and burst into tears.


 

“Jake, please come back we need you. We love you. I'm sorry for everything I said and did. I will always love you. Rest in Peace Jake.”  I got up and place a soft gentle kiss on his feverish wounded head. I went to the door and took one last look at his helpless expressionless face and closed the door.


 

That is when I broke down. I couldn’t handle this. Why was it him and not me? This was never suppose to happen! I laid on the floor crying my eyes out. The last thing I said to him was “ Maybe we shouldn’t be together."

That phrase ran threw my mind over and over, which made me cry even harder. Troy came over and sat next to me.


 

“Kait,we did all we could. It’s not our fault” he placed his hand on my side.

“Go away” I got up and went back to my room, which was vacant and I shut the door.

I was ready to leave. I couldn’t stand the feeling that this hospital gave me.

I went down the stairs to the lobby and heard a faint voice calling me.I ignored it and exited the building

“Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn,KAITLYN!” the voice called after

I turned around to see troy standing at the doorway

“What, there is no reason to be is this DAMN place anymore” the sadness began to fade as the anger set in

“You have to see this” he wiped his eyes and ran inside.


 

I ran after him. What has gotten into him? Is he insane?

He stopped in front of Jake’s door where everyone else stood  frozen.

I walked towards the door “ What’s going on, is this some kind of joke?” I entered the door to find two bright blue  blood-shot eyes looking at me.
