no, not. not really.
*he didn’t feel much of anything besides hollow. this wasn’t meant to happen. it was meant to be a good time of year, wasn’t it? his first christmas with somebody like katelynn in his life and look at what happened. why? why was this happening? what had he done wrong, what had katelynn done to deserve this? he bit at his knuckle, and shut his eyes tightly*
she doesn’t deserve this.
[Alice’s grip on the steering wheel tightened till her knuckles turned white.]
No,[she said very quietly.] She doesn’t.
[She was not going to start crying again. It had been one thing in her apartment where there was no one to see it but the cat. Here she needed to stay strong. They took another turn and there was the hospital coming up on the right. She turned into the lot and pulled up into the breeze way entry. She turned to Jack.] You go on in and find out where she is, I’ll find a place to park and meet you inside.
*he nods as he climbs out of the car and hurries up the steps, bursting into the entrance way of the hospital. there’s patients here and there, surprisingly it isn’t as busy as he would think it would be but his main focus is on the nurse behind the reception desk. he almost slams into it, almost unable to stop himself, and looks at her with wide eyes*
“Can I help you?” the woman asks.
katelynn veronica foster. i-i’m looking for katelynn foster.
“U-huh, and you are?” she asks as she begins typing at a computer.

“Boyfriend?” she echoed. she frowned slightly, as she began to look through the records.
Jack Maple
