If Tomorrow Never Comes
Chapter 12
Kevin ran into the room, searching for his father. His head went back and forth, frantically. His eyes laid upon his father. He slowly walked up to his father, his eyes wide with fear. Jerald laid still, his eyes open. Tears fell from the young boy's eyes, as his small hand laid on top of his father's hand. Kevin's tiny hand shook, as he grasped his father's. "D...d..daddy?" His tiny voice asked. No answer came from the older man. Kevin shook his father's shoulder hard, "DADDY?" Kevin screamed. No answer. Tears fell from the boy's eyes endlessly. He shook harder, but still no answer. He feel onto his knees, sobbing. His tiny hand still grasped Jeralds tighlty. He lifted his eyes, looking at the older man. "D...daddy? I...I'm sorry for today...I...I didn't mean to make you u..upset...I..I love you daddy, a..and I...I'm s...so...s...s...sorry you d..d..died..." Kevin sobbed. He slowly got up, kissing his father's hand, walking out of the room, his head hung low, as tears fell.
Harlod quickly wiped the tears that fell from his eyes, as he called for his son. Harry ran down the stairs, his eyes laying on his parents. "Yea dad?" Harry asked. "C..come sit here, w..we have to talk" Harold siad, his head hung low. Harry sat down, across from his mother and father. He noticed their tear strained faces. "I..is something wrong?" He asked. Harlod shut his eyes tightly, as he drew a deep breath, "It's Brian" he said. Jackie burst into tears, as she hugged her husband tighlty. Harry's eyes went wide, "What's w..wrong with Brian? Is he ok?" Harry asked. Jackie barred her head in her husbands embrace, "Oh..my..b..babyduck" she sobbed. Harold tightened his embrace. He shook his head slightly, "N...no B..Brian's not ok....h..he's in the hospital" Harold said, tears falling from his eyes. Harry's eyes went wide, as tears fell. "W..what?W...what happend" He asked. Harold stood, "W..we need to get to the hospital, the doctor will tell us everything there" He said. Jackie nodded, as she stood up slowly, tears still falling from her eyes. Harry got up. "W...we should go pack our stuff, a..and get the first flight back to Kentucky" Harold said, wiping the tears from his eyes. The three went to their rooms, packed their stuff, and headed to the car. Once they got seated, Harold started the car. Jackie bit her lip, shutting her eyes tightly, as the tears fell from her eyes.Harold reached over, taking his wifes hand in his, grasping it tightly. Once they got to the airport, they got out, picking up their bags, and walking in. Harold and Jackie walked up to the desk. "May I help you?" The lady asked, behind the desk. Harold shut his eyes tightly, "Um...yes...3 tickets back to Lexington,Kentucky please" He whispered, his hand clutching tighlty onto his wifes hand.
