Chapter 8
"One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love."
Sophocles
Not a word was spoken as we went to the hospital. And I was truly thankful for that. The silence is deafening, yet very needed. As much as I was scared I knew all this was happening for a reason, Everything happens for a reason, That what I have to told myself these days to keep me going.
I close my eyes. I didn't cry. I did do anything. I was at a loss on how to feel. I had gone numb.
Finally We made it there. Time, the thing that use to seem like a million years, now rushed pasted. I got out of the car and slowly walked into the hospital. My mother walked slowly behind me. Skinner and Doggett stood next to each other talking with trouble looks on their faces.
" Is it true? " I said frantically.
" Slow down. " Skinner said holding me back.
" No. I want to see him. " Tears welled up in my eyes.
" I know you do..." He said almost in a whisper
" No, I need to see him, damn it! " It was true. I couldn't go another second without him.
