All right, along with just about everyone it seems I plan on writing a couple quick ficlets about the people surrounding Colin's death. So enjoy!

Andrew Brown stares at the people in front of him unsure of how to deliver the news that would shatter so many dreams. In front of him stood a girlfriend who had dedicated her every breath to saving the boy whose death certificate he had just signed, a girl who loved the boy more than anything else in the world. And then there was the best-friend the one who blamed himself for everything that happened that fateful day and now would have to live with the self inflicted guilt that maybe, just maybe he had killed his best-friend. Then there were the parents of the boy and girl, Andrew knew that they would do everything in their power to help their children pick up the pieces of what was left of their life. Then there was the boys parents the ones who had showered all of their love upon the boy who had spent hours praying and crying over their son's health only to have him plucked away from them after being given false hope. Outside of these hospital walls was an entire town who waited with baited breath, he knew, to hear of the news of their hero, the miracle boy who had come back from near death, the boy who took the entire town's hopes and dreams with him into the surgery and the town who's hopes and dreams were now crushed. Even farther out into the world, across the country, was the girl who knew nothing about her brother's death, and who in only a few hours would have her entire world turned upside down with the news that her adored big brother was gone forever and she didn't even get to say good-bye. But out of all of these people Andrew Brown focuses on none of them, instead he focuses on the one who had very little connect with the boy. His own son looked just as concerned for the boys health as the rest of the people in the waiting room and who's world had already been turned upside down and now would be changed entirely because his father had been unable to perform the most important surgery of his career.
