Burn Part 4
This is the fourth part in my story. Read my posts from the last few days if you don’t understand. Enjoy
Craig sat on the curb outside the side exit door. He tried to be mad at Brent for what he did, calling him selfish and other things, but he couldn’t. He loved his brother too much to be mad. Depsite all that had happened, all he could think of was seeing his brother. Craig returned to the emergency room hallway. He walked down to the waiting room and saw his mom talking to the nurse. He contemplated walking away, just so he could avoid talking to the nurse with the fake smile who kept telling him it would be okay. Instead, he walked up to his mom and gave her a hug. He wasn’t sure why he did that, but it felt like the right thing to do, and she smiled at him. It was the first time she had seemed genuinely happy to see him in a long time. Just then, his father came out of the elevator and ran up to them. He was frantic, asking them over and over what happened. The nurse told the three of them that they could go visit Brent now, provided that they were quiet. The three of them, led by the nurse, rushed off anxiously.
