"He's right
in there" The nurse pointed towards a door. The blinds
were closed it looked pitch black inside.
"Thank you" I walked towards the door slowly.
The room was bright, it seems like there was 20 lights in
this little room. There was a curtain, I guess he was
behind it. There he was, I gasped. I tried to blink back
my tears.
"Landon" My voice trailed off.
He was so bruised and broken. His whole face was purple.
I sat at the edge of the bed and took his hand.
"Landon, I'm sorry. I can't believe this would happen to
you. Can you hear me?"
I had to take 3 deep breaths. My heart was pounding it
was getting really hard for me to breathe. A million
thoughts were coming through my head.
"I love you, Landon. I will never stop. You were my first
love. You can get through this. You have to get through
this. You have to see your beautiful baby. This baby, in
my belly right now is ours, Landon, Our baby. Remember?
It has to have a daddy. You can't go now, Please Landon.
"
I just started crying. I couldn't blink the tears back
anymore.
"This reminds me of the first day I met you, Landon. When
Daddy was in the hospital."
I breathed and closed my eyes I remember the day
well.
"I was in 6th grade. You were to, I didn't know you that
well but your mama and my daddy worked together. I was in
the room with daddy. And My mama tells me to go wait in
the waiting room, You're mama tells me that her son,
obviously you, was in there also, that we were the same
age and we would be good friends. You were in the chair
right next to the one that Tony's sitting in at this
moment. I was sitting where Tony was sitting. I knew from
that day me and you would always be great friends. And we
were. That day you asked if I wanted to go to the
hospital playground while we were waiting for our parents
to get out of daddys room. "
I wiped away the tears from my eyes and continued.
"You told me that your favorite movie was Spiderman, and
when you got older you were gonna be a profesional
football player, Your dreams were unbelievable. You were
so incredibly smart. We were on the playground for what
felt like days. We played pirates, and spaceship, and we
jumped over the lava, and you were a shark. We played
almost every game, I never had any friends before I met
you. When we got done playing my favorite game, pirate,
you jumped off the slide and scraped your knee so we went
inside. The waiting room was full of people at that time,
your mama was crying. I didn't understand at the time. We
both ran to your mom. When you told her about your knee
she ignored you and ran up to me. She hugged me and
didn't let go she told me something, I don't remember
what though."
I looked at his face for a second, It looked like he had
a little smile. It helped me, I didn't stop crying but I
smiled a little bit. I squeezed his hand.
"I heard screaming in the back room, it sounded like
daddys room. I sqirmed out of the hug your mom was giving
me, it surprised her a little and she fell backwards. I
opened the door and saw all the nurses around daddys bed.
I was freaking out in my little 11 year old body. My mama
saw me and she picked me up and ran me to the waiting
room. I remember her yelling at me, telling me it was my
fault, my fault for my daddy to be in that room. She
pushed me down and went back into her room, You came and
helped me up. That afternoon, everyone was at the
hospital, you stayed with me in the waiting room while
all the grownups went into the room. Everyone went in
with a blank expression, everyone came out crying. I
didn't know what was going on. You held my hand and let
me play your gameboy. You and my daddy were the only
friends I had. But, nobody told me that, that day was my
daddys last day. Landon, You're like my daddy,
except you can wake up. You don't have to go to Heaven
right now, I don't want you to. I can't lose you."
