No one was talking to another person, everybody was silent.
A car stopped and the governor came out with Summer and they walked to the grave.

A white car stopped there and the door opened Mr Samson and Janet came out and started running to the graveside.
Samson looked at the four coffins and he found his throat becoming dry.
He heard the news yesterday and flew here today with Janet.
“My child” Janet said and touched Hilliary’s coffin, her tears began pouring on the back of the coffins.
Samson started crying and he was confused on which coffin to go to.
He lost his best and his son, isn’t that too much to take?.
“My best friend and my son” Samson said and fell to the ground with his face.
Janet loud cries could be heard.
No amount of tears was enough to stop the pains they were feeling in that moment.
Slowly the coffins were lowered into the ground and covered after the pastor of the church Hilliary and Henry were attending finishing giving his final prayer.
Everybody started dropping flowers and saying their last words.
“I never believe you will leave us, rest in peace, till we meet best friends in the world” Blake said and dropped a flower on both Henry and Hilliary grave. he sniffed in his tears and stood up
“I didn’t have enough time to spend with you both, I regretted the time I was beefing with you guys, I love you” Austin said and dropped the flowers as tears came out.
Suddenly James started coughing out dark blood and everyone gasped.
“The governor!!”.
“What is happening to him?”
James face started becoming pale immediately.
“Dad!!!” Summer called fearfully.

They immediately started running with him to the car.
Summer stood up and followed them immediately.
Everyone became speechless..

Her friends were there with her.
“He will be fine, please calm down” Hailey said.
“Why is this happening to me, I lost Henry and now my dad is in a critical condition” Summer said and started crying.

“He will be alright”.

“Dad be okay for me” Summer cried.
The front door of the ward opened and the doctor came out.

“You’re joking right?” Summer asked but the doctor said nothing.
He looked at her with pity.
“No!!!!” Reality hit on Summer and she dashed into the ward.
