Difficult Choice

Justin's Diary Today

I've never been this nervous. The thought of Mandy suffering made it hard for me to breathe. I don't know why this happened. I wanted to blame myself for allowing her to drive alone. I wanted to hit myself so many times for regretting it all.

For fuck sake!!!

I sat on the floor, then hit my head many times. I don't think hitting myself will change things. Mandy remains lying in the ICU.

"Justin..."

I heard Helena's voice. I don't know how long he's been here. I heard the sound of her heels approaching me. I took a deep breath, looking up at the ceiling, as if asking God to forgive me for my negligence.

"I know you're not okay. But, stop blaming yourself," continued Helena.
