Chapter 3
- Hospital-
Why am I in the hospital? Langston wonders to herself. She studies her surroundings, trying to figure out what had happened. As she is looking around she sees the figure of her Foster mother sitting in a chair with her eyes closed.
"Dorian?" Langston says aloud to see if the woman is awake. Dorian jumps at the sound of the young woman's voice.
"Langston, honey are you alright?" She sits on Langston's bed waiting for her response. "Do you know happened tonight?" Langston closes her eyes as if trying to recall the events from that night.
"I remember Markko and I were drinking tea and talking. I remember Mr. Manning being really mad. Then the rest is a blur." Dorian grasps Langston's hand in her's. "What's wrong please? Tell me what is going on."
"Langston I am so sorry but when Todd lost it tonight he ended up killing both Cole… and Markko." Langston starts to struggle with Dorian, in disbelief.
"No, it's not true! Markko was just trying to protect me, he can't be dead. He just can't be. Oh my God. What about Starr? Is she alright, is she hurt?"
"Starr is fine, she's just really shaken up right now but she will be fine. Are you alright?" Langston shakes her head no and starts to cry. Dorian pulls her into a hug as she cries for the loss of her two dear friends
