What If I Left?
(From Blue's Perspective)
"You know, I want to tell you something," I said. I had calmed down a lot by then. Ava's face kept appearing in my mind and I was pushing it away. I had to think. I could not break down now.
Dem sat down on the bed next to me. Doctor Dimitri told me not to leave bed for the time being. Honestly, it was frustrating, but I also could see how important it was. I could barely stand without wobbling. It was shock, he said.
I could see that Dem did not want to listen to me. Perhaps he knew what I was about to say.
Dion was sleeping on my chest and Demian on my thigh. It was hilarious and if the situation had not been so utterly grim, Dem and I would have laughed about it.
"Tell me you will take me serious," I said, holding his hand.
