All the love he gave yet his heart got broken. Cracks embedded and the pain went deeper. Like a coin the stories got flipped with the blame on him. He beat himself up standing in a corner calling
himself a fool. Where was the light in this darkness from the heartbreak now branded like villains.

But what could he do the lustful beauty had him knocked blind. Now he layed on a bed of pain with
a matress covered in tears of pillows which even he didn’t understand why she couldn’t stand him.

Stabbed in the back by the one closest made even her blunt daggers tear open his fragile heart.

He got played like cards and came out being a joker while she had an ace in her hands.

He felt lifeless as a grave and everything else unreal like dreams. How could the red lipstick on her
lips turn to poison? A flood was evident into the breeze their memories blew with the whistle wind.

She left him wondering.

He stared at her picture tears streaming down on his cheeks. “You didn’t love me, Emily. You chose to lie to me and played with my feelings,” he said staring at
the picture. “I made you happy. Guess I was a dog to be because I would never go back to my vomit like others would say. Seeking attention, you went to date your boss,” he went on. “What if
the world got numb? After tossing and turning the sun wouldn’t come out. Imagine pain being loud
bet my tears would cry like dark times ahead I see a moon less sky. What if the things around you
turned to a circle of pain,” he said and sipped beer. “Men wanna be women and women wanna be
men. Is it the sweetest thing in life like melodies from boys to men. What if success was clear like
a cloudless key?” he spoke with a laugh.

Calvin walked in the room and saw his dad lying on the floor holding his mother’s picture.

“Dad!” he called out.

“Son. What are you doing here? Your mom is gone. I can’t be strong for you and your sister. I don’t know what to do.”

“Dad, please. Don’t do this. Drinking will not make mum come back but makes matters worse.

Chloe needs you and so do I,” said Calvin.
“I am sorry, Calvin. I didn’t mean to drink. I am mad at your mother. How can she leave us for a man whom she has just known for days. I am so heart broken right now,” he sniffed.

“It’s okay dad. Let me help you to lay on the bed.”

He helped his father to lay on the bed and cleaned the house. It was late at night. He finished doing so and went to sleep. Calvin couldn’t sleep. The thought of his father drinking stressed him a
lot. He had never drank before.

Early in the morning he woke up and did the household chores. He headed to Chloe’s room and found her sleeping. He needed to wake her up so she can go to school but she didn’t wake up. He panicked and ran to call his father.

“Dad!” he shouted
Andrew quickly got up with a headache. He ran towards the room.

“What is it?” he asked while in the room.

“It’s Chloe. She isn’t responding,” said Calvin holding her hand
“What!”

Andrew got close to her. He shook her and she opened her eyes.

“Chloe! Wake up! You late for school.”
“I can’t daddy,” she said with a low voice. “My chest hurts.”

“Young lady this is no time to play games. This will be not your excuse. Get up,” said Andrew.

“But daddy I am n..”

“Chloe, just wake up,” said Calvin cutting her short.

Chloe got up from the bed. She took two steps to the door and collapsed.

“Chlooooe!” shouted Andrew. “Chloe wake up. Oh my goodness!”

“Dad! Whats wrong with her?” asked Calvin with a hint of confusion in his voice.

“I I don’t know. Quickly let’s take her to the hospital,” said Andrew as he carried Chloe on his back.

Luckily they managed to get a taxi which drove them to the hospital. Upon arrival the nurses
immediately took Chloe from Andrew.

“Sir! Go sit in the waiting room,” said one of the nurses as they put Chloe on the stretch. “I need to go with her. Is she going to be alright?”

“Yes, sir. Take a deep breath. Young man, come and take your daddy. You seem too strong than him,” said the nurse her eyes on Calvin.

Calvin took his dad and they went to sit on the bench in the waiting room. Andrew kept pacing up and down the room.

At one stage he could not take much more sitting in the room.

“Its been two hours now Calvin,” he said.
It was a nervous wait. The doctor walked in a few minutes later. Andew’s heart started pounding really fast.

“What took you so long? What is wrong with my daughter?” he asked.

“Dad. Calm down. Let him speak,” said Calvin.

“You mind sitting down, sir,” said the doctor.

Andrew sat down.

“Hmmmm. I am sorry I have got bad news for you. She is at the end stage of a heart failure,” said the doctor.

“Pardon!”
“A condition in which her heart is severely damaged or weakened that she may need a heart
transplant.”

“Oh my goodness! Is she going to wake up?”
“Unfortunately that is a No.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Her pulse is weak. We don’t know if she is going to survive. She is still young. She needs a heart
transplant,” said the Doctor.
