Hi sorry the update of this was a long gap. I was away for awhile, but I'm back. Any other story of mine you are waiting for an update. You will get one soon.


Chapter 13: God

Tan POV

The team and I walk into the waiting room where Deacon is already there with Annie. They smile when they see us, but Deacon's eyes show both grief and emptiness. I sit next to him and Annie as everyone starts to filter in. Tears begin to roll down his face and Annie holds him tight as she tries to calm him down.

"It's my fault, she was so driven to keep me safe and I could barley think. I didn't even bother to help her" he said. He's met with confused faces, so he begins to tell the whole story about what happened in the building. And how Chris pushed him out of the house before it collapsed. And also, how could've escaped and left Chris behind and he wanted to, but didn't.

"Deac, Chris loves you and Annie. She wants you to be happy and I know that when she pushed you, it was because she knew the house was gonna fall and she didn't want you under it" Hondo says trying to comfort him "and as for the possibility escape, you didn't leave her behind and that's what counts."

"Maybe that's true" Deacon says "but she had my back out there, and I didn't have hers. It's not fair to her"

"Deacon. You had no idea that this would happen and neither did Chris" I say "you can't feel guilty for something you had no control over" I try my best to comfort him along with everyone else but it seems to have the opposite effect.

"Guys, I appreciate it, I really do. But Chris should be sitting here not me, I saw the fear in her eyes, the pain she felt while in there, I tried to help her but I couldn't. I wasn't thinking about her at all, not really, I was just thinking about getting myself out. When that beam fell on her, the first thing I thought of was that exit, not helping her. I only helped her when it was too late." He says as he puts his head in his hands and cries.

"David, it's going to be ok" Annie says but I see tears steaming down her face "just pray and God will be there". And that's what we do
