Kraig walked through the crowd to meet his grandfather. He wasn't excited anymore because the fight he had with Wynn had managed to strip him of the joy he used to possess. Now, he was walking around wearing a fake smile like it was an accessory. He tried too hard to seem excited because the last thing he wanted for his grandfather was for him to be upset or worried about what was going on with him.Kraig finally met up with his grandfather, who was busy talking to other men of his class. They were laughing, smiling, and probably talking about the old times.Kraig tapped his old man on his shoulder, and when he turned around, Kraig wrapped his hand around him, pulling him into a deep hug.Mr. DeVille groaned into the hug as he was enveloped in his grandson's scent. He was delighted, very happy—happier than he thought he would ever be."I never thought I'd reach this age," he said.Kraig laughed, as if all the despair he had been feeling had completely washed away."Much less be dating
Kraig's heart skipped a beat, and without even realizing what he was doing, he dashed into the bathroom. A crowd had already formed at the entrance, and his presence brought about a silence and a sort of acknowledgment. Everybody standing in front of the bathroom made way for him, allowing him undisturbed entrance to the place.Mr. DeVille lay there; his body didn't move, and Kraig could not see his chest heaving up to signify if he was breathing.He froze up.His head ached, and bile rose up in his throat. He couldn't fathom anything except his need to hold his grandfather and find out what was going on.He was on the bathroom floor in no time, holding the man. He looked him over; there wasn't any mess on his body. There wasn't any sign that this had been intentional. He looked like he was just asleep, but why would he fall asleep on the bathroom floor during his birthday celebration?"I've called for an ambulance; they'll be here soon," Daniel said after he found his way through the
After that realization, Wynn quickly fished her phone out and dialed Kraig's number. She knew that the ambulance would've already left the scene, so she decided to call. And she had to go over to a much secluded area where there was nobody around just so that she could make this phone call.Considering what had happened between the two of them, Wynn actually thought that there was no way that Kraig would pick up the call. She assumed that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with her, and that was one of the reasons why she had pulled away a bit.But no, she needed to tell him. She needed to make sure that he knew that his new friend was not to be trusted. There were no good enough evidence to back up her claim, but she needed to let him know of this, and the same way she was informing him, she was also planning on informing the detectives.Kraig answered."Hello?""Oh my god!" Wynn breathed out, "I didn't think you would actually take the call.""Wynn, what do you have to say to me?" H
Juan gave her a look, wondering if this was the woman he was secretly working for. He suspected that wasn't the case because she looked to be quite young. However, he wasn't going to pass up a chance to win her favor.He smiled as he recalled that she had been impressed with what he was doing with Wynn. So, he wrapped his hand around Wynn's shoulder, pulling her to stay right beside him."Even though we don't know much about you, we can actually get to know each other," he suggested. "There's always time," he added.Tabitha gave him a look before she shook her head, "If that's the case, Mr. Leith, we can get to know more about each other.""And how do you think we can achieve that?" he asked.Tabitha chuckled, "Well, it was your idea, what do you think?"Juan nodded, "Maybe dinner, we could get dinner together.""That sounds like a glorious idea. You just make the necessary reservations, and I'll be there." Tabitha threw a smile at the couple before she turned away and walked away fro
The ambulance recahed the hospital in no time and quickly, Mr DeVille was pushed fron the ambulance to the hospital. Itbwas all so fast, wverybody was working in sync just so that thwy coykd get Mr DeVille to the emergency room on a hurry.Few minutes later, the car christian was driving was parked in the garage rught beisde the ambulance. They akso ruahed Carolene into thw hospital to get an emergency room.Jade was happy that they were about tonwait atbthebsame aides, she fekt if itbwasnt so, it would've been quitw hard for her to split herself for waiting fir Carolene and waiting for mr DeVille.Carolene was taken away and then christian and jade met up with Kraig.They saw Kraig siting down staring at his phone acreen as if the linger and harser he stared, then a unicorn would appear.Jade saw it as his coping mechanism. It was the only reason she coukd thibk of for such an action. There were waiting chairs arranged tgere and it was where Kraig was sitting. As the world wiykd bave
Kraig walked around the hospital for a while. He couldn't sit in one place while he had no idea what was going on with his grandfather. He walked to the restroom, then walked to the cafeteria, but it was late, and there wasn't really anything worth seeing anywhere.In despair, he returned to join Jade and Christian.From what he could see, Jade's eyes were already closing; it was a good display of how tired she must be. He, however, appreciated the fact that although she was obviously tired, she still preferred to wait around with him.He took a seat.Christian was right beside him, his eyes pinned somewhere that Kraig could not guess where. He was anxious, he wanted to hear any news about his grandfather, he wanted to know what was going on. But then he wasn't getting anything.He looked around one more time from where he was sitting."Did you call Fabio and Daniel?"Christian nodded his head, "I did, but they're still busy. It's been only an hour. I think we should wait for a while.
The office was small, but the windows were prodigious. And through it, the air flowed into the room making it seem not as suffocating as one woukd assume upon entering the room.The table was messy, there were heavy books scattered on the table, some were opened and some wrre closed but the absence of order was very loud.The walls were painted coffee brown, igniting the taste of hot cappuccino in Kraig's throat upon it's similarities. Despite how strongly he desired that warnth of the coffee, he coukdnt imagine for himself what jy smelled like.Thisbwas becsuee th office had an underlying smell of disinfectant and no matter how yhe rose fragrance tried to overpower it, the disinfectant wss just too profound and so the mixture became very unpleasant for his nose.Kraig's eyes finally fell on the doctor's own. Yhe twonof them had been sitting there fir minutes. Krsig wss koe ficused trying tos distract himsekf by looking around he offce, trying to get his thoughts away from his head.B
Daniel looked around instantly through the crowd, which was slowly diminishing. Some of the people found everything relatively boring and decided to leave, or maybe they had gotten their fill of searching for gossip to spill.He had heard one of them even mention that there was already a short article about it on the news.Daniel was grateful for this. He was excited that they were starting to give up and were already finding their way out. It would be easier for him to find Wynn like this.He had seen Juan's car leave, but Wynn had not left with him. He began to look around again, hoping that she was anywhere around.Someone grabbed his wrist.He turned around and saw Fabio standing behind him. He was looking at him with concern in his eyes, obviously wondering what had gotten him all provoked."I need to find Wynn," Daniel only said before attempting to pry his hand away from Fabio's grip.However, Fabio was reluctant in letting him go for more reasons than one. He even added more f
