Eric Camden paced the hospital, he had gotten the call hours ago and he had hoped it had been the wrong number or a joke of some sort but it hadn't. His little boy his baby boy was in the hospital. He had caught the first flight out there with Annie. The kids were following on a later flight and would be there soon. Simon had been in surgery for awhile but had come out alive. He and Annie were waiting anxiously until he was able to have visitors.
Why he was still worried was the fact that doctor said he had a 50/50 chance of survival. There was a 50/50 chance his little boy might die. He couldn't think about that there was no way his baby boy would die. He was only 17 he still had so much of his life to live.
Anger curled through him. Eric had never in his life been so angry at someone. He tried to be forgiving but Justin had shot his son and he was having trouble seeing past that when Simon might die. No he couldn't think of that Simon would be fine Simon had to be fine.
"Eric you should probably sit down." Eric turned around and saw Annie starring at him concerned. His heart condition his stupid heart condition and now it was stopping him from dealing with his nerves in the way he wanted to. He reluctantly took a seat in the rigid plastic gray chairs next to his wife. There was silence for awhile a very unpleasant silence.
"Is there anything I can do for you Mr and Mrs Camden." Eric didn't want to look at him. He was wearing scrubs because when he had come into the hospital his clothes had been covered in blood Simon's blood not that he had seen it but he knew that's why he was wearing scrubs.
The he being in question was Simon's roommate Ben. He had never thought the first time he would talk to Simon's roommate Ben would be when Ben told him what had happened. That Justin had come and shot him and that Ben had called the paramedics and because of a busted elevator they had lost him 3 times.
Eric merely shook his head.
"No Thank you." Annie voice said. Her voice was strong but in the way she purposely was strong when she was feeling weak but didn't want anyone else in the family to know, but he always knew. Eric threaded his finger into hers, drawing on her strength and hoping she would be able to draw on his as well. They sat there like that for what seemed like forever when Simon's doctor came out again this time with a woman in scrubs. Eric took a deep breath and Simon's doctor and the woman walked towards them in what seemed like slow motion. Annie got up to meet them and felt more then saw Eric do the same. The met partway across the room and stopped both sets starring at the other until the doctor opened his mouth.
