“No!” I cried as his breathing ceased. “You can’t die! No please. Please Adam wake up! You have to get up!”
Tears were streaming down my face as I gripped his shirt tighter. “Please Adam wake up!” I was shrieking now, pounding my fists on his chest. “You have to get up!”
Gentle hands tried to pull me away from Adam’s body, but I tried to fight them.
“Jenna let go. He’s gone.” Darren whispered gently grasping my hands in his own.
I refused to believe his words. Adam couldn’t be gone. He wasn’t supposed to get hurt or-or…I couldn’t finish the though.
“No.” I whispered hoarsely, shaking off Darren’s touch. “He-he can’t be. I won’t believe it.”
“Jenna you need to let him go. We have to get you back before it’s too late!” Darren’s grip was firmer this time, but I cried out trying to fight him off.
He was able to hoist me into his arms. “No Adam!” I cried struggling from his grip. “Please let me go! I-I need him! Adam please wake up! This isn’t funny anymore.”
“Jenna!”Darren’s stern voice caught my attention. I turned up to face him. “You have to understand. He’s not coming back. Adam’s gone. “
I felt my stubborn hope crumble as reality set in. He was gone. Tears pooled at my eyes and my body began to tremble. Darren held me close as I unleashed my anguish.
