“Is he okay?” I asked.

“I can’t share any information, I am afraid, but I am sure if you speak with his parents they may be able to update you.” the doctor nodded toward me, before walking further along the corridor. I assumed in doing so, he was telling me he was done talking to me. So, I turned around and made my way to the stairs and tried to gather some composure to talk to Harley’s parents.

I hated that I was the cause of their pain. I imagine they would not want me here if they knew their son had been injured because of me. Because, no matter how else I viewed this, Harley had been injured by Miles because of his connection to me.
