A few minutes later Brian walks up to Simon

A few minutes later Brian walks up to Simon.

Nick: Your dad's on the phone, and he sounds upset.

Simon takes the phone without replying to Nick.

Simon: Hello.

Eric: Hello Simon what are you doing.

Simon: Dad I am out so late and I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was.

Eric: Simon It's more then that. They don't know if... your mother will last another half an hour.

Simon: I'll be their as fast as you can.

Simon nearly dropped the phone as he handed it back to Nick. He then dashed out the door without even looking at Deena. As he walked out he had tears streaming down his face.

Simon ran off into the park not knowing that Deena was right behind him. Eventually he was out of breath and collapsed to the ground sobbing uncontrolably.

Deena: Calm down Simon. What happened?

Simon: They don't think my mom is going to live another half a hour.

Deena: O Simon. Why didn't you tell me it was this serious?

Simon: Matt told me not to look worried or cry in front of anyone. I knew I could never hold back my worries when I was with her so I couldn't stay around.

Deena: Do you want to go now.

Simon nodded his head and they walked to the hospital.

When they walked into the hospital Simon saw his father standing there with tears in his eyes. Eric went and gave Simon a hug and then said.
