“No.. stop. Don’t say it, please.” Larry’s face falls and he buries it in his hands, turning away from Rob and the other doctor. How could this possibly be happening? How has everything that they’ve been through lead to this point? Lead to this end with the death of their son. No, he wouldn’t think that. He can’t think that. When Ally approaches them, he nearly loses his composure.

“Rob..” his voice cracks and his knees buckle, and the close proximity of the chairs behind him is the only thing that prevents him from collapsing to the floor. Larry rests his face in his hands as a sob tears through his chest, unable to keep himself together any longer.

       Rob desperately tries to cling to his own composure as he looks into the glistening eyes of his sister in law. “The damage to Julian’s body was too much, I’m sorry… we did everything we could.” He repeats, the weakness of his voice becoming more and more apparent, before he looks over at the other doctor. Ally had frozen, unable to comprehend what Rob was saying, only that Julian hadn’t made it. Their smart, happy, and beautiful boy was GONE. 

“No, this can’t… Julian can’t be…” She croaks out, before sinking to her knees, head dipped low as fresh tears spill out along her cheeks. Rob motions to the other doctor to leave them and he then drops down into the chair next to his brother, his own tears trickling out from the corner of his eyes. Julian had his whole life ahead of him, it wasn’t fair, none of it was right. “I’m so sorry…” He says, his voice low and almost inaudible.
