As soon as we were allowed to me and Damien entered Marcus' room and just sat at his side. Well, I was directly at his side while Damien was next to me. I just looked over at Marcus connected to all of the machines and wondering if this was the life I was willing to live? This will more then likely not be the last time he'll be in this state, could I really be able to live like that?
Just then I felt a comforting paw take mine and I looked down to find Damien's paw in mine to which I smiled and looked over to realize that he wasn't trying to comfort me with holding my paw but was seeking comfort himself. There was a great pain and sadness in his eyes. He was hurting really badly.
"Damien are you okay?" I asked in hopes of maybe finding some kind of comfort in is words.
"Is this the life we've chosen? Am I really ready for this?" sighed Damien as a tear began to fill his eyes. "Will everyone close to me end up here?"
