Breaking the Silence.
Chapter Four
When we got back to the hospital Isabelle was sitting in the chair by the window in Alex’s room, I walked in and sat my bag down on the floor.
“Any change?” I signed as she looked up at me.
“Nope, I’m trying to be hopeful.” She said
“I know.”
“I can’t lose both of my sons Sam, I don’t think I’d survive it.” She mumbled.
“You’re not going to lose him.” I signed.
She nodded and stood up to hug me.
“I’m going to get some coffee… do you want any?” She asked
I nodded and she kissed my forehead and left the room, this was probably my only chance for a while to actually speak to him. I walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge of it.
“Alex, it’s me Sam.” I whispered
I grabbed his hand.
“You listen now and you listen good you little shit. If you see that mystical white light they talk about in books you turn your ass around and come back to us. Come back to your mom, your band and friends. Come back to me.” I said rubbing his broken face.
I leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
When his mom came back in I was still sitting there just rubbing his hand. She handed me the cup of coffee and I thanked her, she went back to her seat in the chair and stared at us.
“I called his sisters but they won’t be able to get a flight for a few days.” She said
“I haven’t seen them in forever.” I signed.
“Neither have we.” She smiled.
I smiled at her and she looked at me.
“I’m thankful the other boys were not with him Sam, I don’t want anyone else to go through this. Especially your mom, she’s gone through a lot in the past few years with your dad walking out. I’m very thankful Jack or you were not in the car with him.” She said
“Jack was almost.”
“I’m glad he wasn’t.” She said
I nodded and got off the bed and grabbed my bag.
“Did you bring some things to do?” She asked
I nodded but I pulled out a small box and handed it to her.
“Open.”
She opened it timidly and pulled the bunch of photos out of it, I figured they would make her smile. They were some photos I took of the boys at their shows, some of Alex and each guy; mostly Jack. And some of me with all of them.
“These are great. Did you take these?” She asked
I nodded and pulled my notebook out.
“These are wonderful, would you make copies of these for me?” She asked
“Take them. I have the files.”
“Are you sure?” She asked
I nodded.
“You keep these two.” She said
She handed me two of the photos, one was Alex standing with me on his shoulders and the other one was of a ‘Samwich’ I smiled at them both and tucked them into the notebook.
“I think he likes you.” She said
“Maybe.”
She laughed and I stuck my tongue out at her, she shook her head and looked down at the photos again.
