If Tomorrow Never Comes
Chapter 3
The young boys screams filled the air,as his hands shook the young cousin's lifeless body. His head wipped around,yelling for his parents,"Mommy....D..daddy," he said as tears fell from his bright green eyes. Once the parents reached the children,Jerald quickly pushed Kevin's arms away from Brian. "Don't touch him!" he yelled. Kevin stood back,as tears fell. Ann quickly embraced her son,as he cried in her arms. "I...I...didn't mean to m...momma..I was only trying to wake him up...." He sobbed. Ann rubbed her son's back as tears formed her eyes. "Oh baby....I know...daddy's just worried." Kevin looked at his mother,with teary eyes. "He..daddy has never yelled at me b..before." His lowered his head to his mothers lap,and cried. Ann sighed,"I know baby,I know." The young boy clung onto his mother,sobbing loudly.
Jerald's shaky hand reached across the lifeless body of the young boy, pressing his fingers against the boys neck. He let out a deep sigh of relief. His hand wiped the blond hair of the young boy, back from his face. The tears fell from the older man's eyes. He gently put his hand on the back of the boys neck,and lightly picked him up,holding the young boy agains't his chest. He walked across the field,carrying the boy into the house. He laid Brian on the couch,pulling the covers over his small body. He leaned in,pressing his lips against the boys forehead lightly. He pulled away, sitting down on the chair,next to the small boy. The older man laid his head in his hands and wept.
