chapter 4: turn in events
Reid walked down the porcelain hospital hallway. He was nervous at the prospect of seeing his mother in the state she was in but he knew it needed to be done and besides he needed to see for himself that she was alright. The doctor stopped outside a door and opened it slowly . He knew his mother was in a bad shape yet nothing could of prepared him for what he saw. The last time he had seen his mother she was lucid and they had spent the majority of his visit reading to each other. It had also happened to be very sunny that weekend as well so Reid and his mother spent most of their time in the sanatarium garden. Here he would watch his mum read to him whilst the sun would radiate her skin and the wind would blow gently through her hair. However the sight before his eyes was nothing like that at all. His mother was extremely pale and had many wires and needles coming out of her in all directions. There was certainly no sun glowing on her skin and no wind gently caressing her hair.
"You can take as long as you need." Dr. Chapman said kindly. As Reid heard the door click behind him he knew he was finally alone. It could now just be him and his mother and there were many things Reid felt he needed to get off his chest.
"Hey mum um it's me spencer. I know I haven't come to visit you in a while and I am truly sorry, I do know how much my visits help you. You see here's the thing the reason I only write to you is because I'm s-scared. I'm scared because I hate it when you go through an episode and get so confused and scared you don't know who to trust and you feel so alone. So I guess not visiting you makes me feel less guilty that you have to go through so much and there is nothing I can do about it." The tears began to slowly trickle down Reid's face but he had no intention in stopping them. It was just him and his mum and he felt a weight come off his shoulders when he spoke about how he felt.
"Mum you've well always been there for me even if I am a bit weird. Not once did you leave me though, not even when dad left and for that I am forever great-full. But I want to return the favor to you mum. I may not be able to find a cure for schizophrenia but I promise I will get you better. I promise I will spend each day sitting by your bed until you walk out of this hospital. I will spend everyday you recover with you because you never abandoned me and I will never abandon you again. In fact once you are out of here we will arrange one day each month for me to visit. Because I know I should visit you more mum and tell you that I love you." Reid said making a promise to himself that he was going to be there for his mum as much as he possibly could. Reid spent the rest of the time talking about past memories with his mum. He felt a warm sense of nostalgia go through him as he reminisced them all. Eventually Reid fell into a peaceful sleep by his mothers side.
Reid was awoken by moans. He quickly looked up and his heart dropped when he saw his mums face scrunched up in pain and her hands desperately grabbing for her chest. Her heart rate was dangerously decreasing and Reid stood still for a millisecond before finding his voice. He quickly screamed for help. He wasn't prepared to loose her not after his promise. However just before the nurses and doctors came darting into the room his mothers eyes rolled back into her head and she turned dangerously white. The heart monitor flatlined as Reid's heart broke into a thousand pieces. That's when he realized his promise was broken.
"I love you." He croaked before being pushed away by doctors and nurses.
