Astro
Thirty-Six: Ryan
I’m standing in the hallway as my mom was rushed into a room. We were told to stay out here. The other lady who I don’t know was taken into the room next to hers. ‘She is fine kid. Don’t worry.’ Astro says to me as I’m chewing on the inside of my cheek. I can still feel the tears running down my face. ‘Are you sure. I don’t think I will survive if I lose mom. If we lose mom.’ I say as I reach out for Mel, and he puts his arm around my shoulder. I cry into the side of his shirt. I know I’m twelve and for some reason can command these wolves around me. I don’t know how I do it but I’m still a kid. I still have the need to be given comfort when I’m scared. Right now, I’m really scared. ‘Just trust me. It is not her time yet. There is still much that needs to be done.’
