I was in shock and a puddle of tears. I started my car and drove to the hospital for answers.

I walked through the building and was shocked at what I saw. My mother, Veronica, and Peter's parents were standing in tears.

As soon as I was noticed, Mom spoke.

"Anne! Oh my gosh, you're okay! Where have you been?"

"It was too much. I needed air."

"Don't ever do that again! What the hell is wrong with you? You scared us! You have been gone for five hours! Where have you been? Tell me now!"

I ignored her and walked to Peter's mom.

"Please. Tell me everything." I said softly.

"I'm sorry. I can't. Peter can tell you everything."

"What the hell are you talking about? He's not here."

I was so done with them. Im not dumb. I was so angry, but I wasn't going to cry on front of them.

"When Peter came home, he couldn't stop talking about you. He just wanted us to tell you a small part of the story.

Peter had been diagnosed with cancer 3 months ago. We decided to stop the chemo because the cancer had gotten worse and was out of our hands.

He hid it from everyone and God, he sure didn't want you to know.

He had been getting worse. We could tell, even though he tried to hide it.

Before he went to bed last night, he told me that you needed to know everything. The truth. He didn't want to tell you in person though.

He said 'she needs to know sooner or later' and went to bed. He died in his sleep.

I'm so sorry Anne. He loved you so much and when he talked with you, I know it took his mind off everything and-"

I had enough. This was too much to know and to take in.

"Stop. Please, stop." I interrupted her.

With that, I walked out. I walked out of the hospital and walked away from everything.

I didn't know where to go. I got in my car and just drive I wasn't going to my house or our field. I had to get away from this town. It reminds me too much of Peter.

I want to know everything, I need to know everything, but I'm not ready. I'm not ready for the truth.

I've never been ready. But when I am, everything might seem to click and be put together. It might finally make sense.
