Chapter 50: Our Amari

Daniel POV:

It's been 6 months since Amari died and when Xavier pulled the trigger I was more than glad to find that the safety was still on. A part of Xavier died that day with Amari

The man that we still see today is merely a ghost with a broken heart

He's been in and out of the facility and today I'm driving to fetch him

Pulling into the driveway of the facility I see Xavier standing outside the doors with a cigarette in his hand and a duffel bag in the other

When he sees me he throws the cigarette on the floor crushing it with his foot. Parking in front of him I open the window

"Hey," I say and he nods opening the car door. Climbing inside he opens the cubby hole and takes out a folded picture

"She looked so beautiful," he says looking at their wedding picture

"Yeah, she did," I say staring straight ahead. It still hurts to talk about her but today we have too

"Turns out there was nothing we could have done. A while back the doctors predicted she wouldn't live past the age of 18
