Thankyou for all your reviews. I own none of these characters except for
Madison and Halo. Sorry these chapters are so short.
Chapter 17
"Dad, Mom, he's awake. But he's not exactly great company at the moment." Matt said, walking into the old cafeteria. Matt had always found hospital cafeterias depressing, there white walls, stainless steel benches. It reminded him of an operating room.
"Oh thank goodness. Is he OK? I'm going to see him." Annie said, starting to walk quickly towards intensive care.
"Mom, mom, wait, Robbie's in there now. Let him have some time. I told him he was coming home with us after he's discharged, but he uhh.he brushed me off." Matt said looking down.
"It's OK matt, It's not your fault. He is coming home. We'll make sure of that. Don't worry. He's safe now. Has he seen his uhh.dealer?" Eric said, unsure on how to say the word dealer. He said it like it was some kind of disease.
"Not that I know of. But who knows anything with Simon now? He's so damned wrapped up in his own life that he can't see clearly. I love him but I'm not sure how much more I can take Dad. I mean, he's so.ugh, I can't describe it." Matt said, just starting to vent his anger. He didn't realise quite how angry he had been at Simon.
"It's OK son, but he's going to get better. I promise you." Eric said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "We're going to get him off drugs, into counselling and we'll give him all the support he needs. You got that?"
"Yeah Dad. Robbie's probably out now if you want to go up." Matt said, in a low solemn voice.
"Thanks." Both Eric and Annie said at the same time whilst walking out of the cafeteria, arm in arm.
Matt sat down at one of the benches. He wondered how he let this happen, and how Simon let this happen. He just couldn't control anything anymore. Something that he always thought he could do. "I'm sorry Simon." He thought to himself. "I'm sorry."
