CHAPTER 2: "Waiting Game"
(Kyle prov) Shock a 5 letter word that if looked up in the dictionary you would find "The cause of such a disturbance." I guess that would be the right word to describe what Amanda and the rest of the family were going through right now.
Everyone was changed out of their dresses and tuxes. Amanda sat on one of the grey plastic chairs lost in thought her gaze never left her ring. Her eyes were glossy but she had not shed a tear
"How you holding up?" A deep man's voice pulled her out of her deep thought.
"T…today was supposed to be the happiest day of mine and Kyle's life and now…" she trailed off.
"I know." Stephen wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close "he'll be okay." He was rubbing her shoulder just to do anything to comfort her.
"Trager?" A short lady with light brown hair in light blue scrubs asked. Everyone in the waiting room looked up; except for Josh and Emma they had fallen asleep.
"Umm Amanda?" she clarified. Amanda slowly stood up and followed her into the hall.
"How is he?" Amanda began to prepare herself.
"Well I am not going to lie," she paused "The bullet shattered his shoulder blade." Amanda's mouth dropped tears filled her eyes and she had a horrible knot in her stomach. The nurse continued "He is still in surgery and will be for another 1 to 2 hours if you and your family want to get something to eat or get some coffee you have time." With that she left.
Amanda
leaned on the wall then she felt her knees give in as she slid down.
She brought her hands to her face and began to cry silent tears.
Adam had left the room to get some coffee when the doctor had
come. He turned the corner and saw Amanda sitting with her knees to
her chest crying. Adam knelt down beside her and placed his hand on
her shoulder.
"Amanda." His soft voice reminded her of Kyle. She lifted her head away from her hand. He smiled "Kyle is strong I have faith that he will over come this." He set down his coffee then drew her into a hug. Her tears dampened his dark blue button up shirt.
