her?” Mrs. Ware immediately asked trying to catch her breath.
     
    “Yes, but only one visitor at a time. Just head toward the Intensive Care Unit and stop at the front desk. Someone will direct you to where she’s at. There is another waiting room on that end for the rest of the family.”
     
    “Thank you very much,” Mr. Ware said as the doctor walked off. As the family made their way down the corridor toward the ICU section they could distinctly hear Mary scream out at the top of her lungs. The horrific shrill of her crying sent chills up their spines. Sadly, they knew exactly what news that she’d just gotten.

    Lauren sat in one of the chairs inside the waiting room with her leg crossed and her foot shaking rapidly. No one had said a word since they’d made it in there. The thought of even talking about what they’d heard moments earlier was still unbelievable. Even though she hated Bianca’s boyfriend with a passion, she never wished death on him. He was definitely a big provider in helping Bianca consume all of her demons, but it didn’t start with him and they all knew it. Regardless of how it all went down; he unfortunately paid the ultimate price for it.
     
    ShaKita sniffed in between crying. She was sad that Bianca’s boyfriend had lost his life, but grateful that her sister survived. It was definitely a hard pill to swallow because nobody won. Someone lost a son, a brother, an uncle, and her niece lost a father. It was devastating to say the least and the hardest part was to tell Bianca that her boyfriend and baby’s father was dead.
     
    Kerry stood in the hallway alone. She just wanted to get herself together. The devastating news could have easily been about her sister and it shook her to the core. She and Bianca had gotten really close over the two years that she lived with her. It wasn’t until she asked her to move out that Bianca started resenting her a little, but even still she loved her a great deal and had been looking forward to sharing the night with her to reconnect.
     
    If only she had come to the party like she said that she would , she thought wiping her tears. The thought of her being unconscious was devastating to her. She’d do anything to bring her sister back. She just wanted to silently pray for her mental return and hopefully she’d be a changed person when this was all over with.
     
    She looked inside the waiting room through the glass window and saw the pain that their father felt. For some reason, Bianca always seemed to be his favorite. Maybe it was because she was the troubled one and all he wanted to do was make things right. It didn’t’ make it any better that she’d been taken advantage of by a man that was fifteen years older than her when she was only thirteen and had gotten her pregnant. She was too far gone by the time they had found out and nine months later, at the age of fourteen, she was having her first son.
     
    **********
     
    Mrs. Ware stepped inside the small private room where Bianca lay with tubes going down her throat and machines hooked to her body monitoring her vitals. Just the sight of this made her want to fall to her knees and cry. She loved her baby more than anything in the world and it hurt like hell to see her in this way.
     
    She gradually walked over to her bed, placing her hand on top of Bianca’s warm hand and cried like a baby. She couldn’t understand how a child that was so loved from the moment she’d been conceived could turn out the way she did. She was like her tyrant, the rotten child, the rebellious one that always did what she wanted to do. She wasn’t crazy about authority and didn’t take advice very well. It was almost like they owed her something, but how could they owe a person that they’d already given so much too.
     
    Mrs. Ware stood over her daughter and wept for her. She was only thirty-two years old and had already gone through more than anyone she’d known. At the age of fourteen
