Blurb:
Jack is dead, Adam is back in the hospital in the
worst condition he's ever been and Vic believes it's all his fault. That he's
the reason everyone's hurting and that there's only one way to end it - to end
his own life.
Then the doctor bears bad news, Vic’s own condition
has worsened and his days are numbered.
This is the wake-up call Vic needs. Maybe he can, for
once, make people happy before he hurts them in the worst way possible. He
hides his condition from everyone, not wanting anyone to worry while he's
trying to make them happy.
But time is running out. Will Vic see his wish
fulfilled before the end comes?
Excerpt:
~Adam~
I sit, looking around the room, waiting for Tom to be
done with his placement so he’ll come over. It’s boring being on my own in the
hospital. Normally I have my laptop or at least some books with me, but next to
my bed there is only a bag with clean clothing, no books or anything to
entertain me.
A soft knock diverts my attention to the door. Tom is
standing there with a broad smile on his face and my laptop bag in his hand. He
can be such an angel.
“They told me you’d probably be awake by the time I
returned from my placement so I thought I should bring you something. How are
you feeling?” The words keep coming as he walks around the room, putting my
laptop on the table and leaning against my bed. His mouth smiles but his eyes
are sad.
“How long have I been out?” I feel the stubble on my
chin. “More than a night, I would say.”
“A few days. They did a couple of tests on you but
they were scared your body wouldn’t be able to handle another attack in such a
short time.”
“They drugged me.” It’s not a question, it’s a
statement. “You allowed them to drug me because it was easier on you? Because
they asked for it?” My anger flares and Tom cowers. That is wrong, Tom doesn’t
cower for anyone like that, especially not for me. What has happened while I
was out? Was the attack that bad?
Tom sits down next to the bed on a chair, just out of
my reach, and sighs. “You almost didn’t make it. I was not going to take the
chance that you’d die.” He shakes his head, the next words barely audible. “Not
you. I wasn’t gonna lose you.”
“What do you mean?” I reach out, the pain on Tom’s
face reflected in my own heart. I don’t know what happened in the past days but
it must have been bad, really bad.
Tom looks at my hand and then at my face. He stands
and pulls me in a close hug.
“I don’t know how to tell you this,” Tom whispers, his
voice thick with tears.
“Tell me what?” I’m scared, scared about what is going
on, what has happened.
